Mick Rory

Leave a message, I might get it.

Yeah. Till I lose her too like I lose everything else. What happens to Antiope then? If her ma and I break up...or get sent home...or die? What happens if I kill my little girl before I even have her?

You won't lose her Mick.

Talk to Harry Feynman or even Scarlet. We've had visitors from other versions of New Dodge, ghosts and different planets. Near as I understand it [And that is absolutely saying something. When Leonard wants to understand something, he obsesses about it until he completely gets what's going on] time doesn't work the same way here.

You won't erase her. If she is born in the future, she will be.

All of this makes my head hurt. And on top of it there's fuckin' Chucky dolls tryin to kill people.

Welcome to New Dodge, partner. [Leonard raises his beer in salute to his partner before picking at his own food. He still eats like a bird, but at least he eats?]

If you want this, fight for it. You know I'll have your back.

Only reason I came to this hellhole was cause you were here. [Eats his food steadily, stealing Len's fries once its clear the other man is finished]

Won't prepared for finding something else.

Neither was I. [And look at him now. Former thief, Legend, now a casino owner and engaged to a beautiful and amazing woman.]

But it was worth the fight.

[Mick waves him off and shakes his head]

So, you spoken to that boy of yours?

Ben. [An amazing young man. Strong and so kind. His smile, an echo of his mother, assuring him that he was a great father.

That he wouldn't turn into Lewis.

Leonard's expression softens.] He's a hell of a kid.

Said you're a hell of a dad.

You gonna be okay?

[The affirmation still leaves him quietly stunned. He's going to be a decent father. He's going to do right by the woman he loves and their son.

Leonard breathes. Nods.]

Yeah. I think so.

You?

Too soon to tell. Not as good at this as you.

I'm not as good at this as you.

I've had more time to get used to this.

You're more patient than me.

[A sigh because they aren't arguing stupid shit like this. Mick will be all right. With the right support he's always going to be all right.

It's why he saved him from the Oculus.] Give it time partner. We've got people here. Not like Central, but it's close.

Well, enough of that shit. Now what?

[A shrug and a wave of his hand.] No idea. Give it another two days I'm sure something else weird is going to come up.

This place is almost as bad as back home.

Don't go and give this place any ideas, partner.

It's already got bad ideas.
