[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[After spending the past week, slumped over in his room unconscious, there were a few things that Cobra Commander should probably be concerned about. But those can wait, because he’d rather turn on his gear and cackle like a madman for the next few minutes over the network.]

Oh, thisss is truly the perfect thing to wake up to. Unlike before, when I was so rudely ripped away from taking back what was rightfully mine; thisss time there wasn’t anything like that! Meaning conquering Johto and making all of you miserable is now my number one priority! This place now has my complete and undivided attention! And that means-

You were unconscious for the week?

[Archer remembers this happening to Hughes; it's happened to other people here too, hasn't it?]

You missed another anonymous attack. It happened a couple of days ago. I can tell you right now neither Kimblee nor I were behind it. Otherwise, I haven't heard anything.

Just think about what that means?

[Not that she has any idea who this is, but the implication behind his words isn't lost on her in the least.]

I don't have to. I know exactly what it means. It means you can try whatever you want, but there'll be people waiting to stop you!

[How precious, does she even know about team rocket yet? Silly rookie breeder.]

[thetruehistorian]

You aren't the type to keep a woman waiting, are you?

This is a joke, right?

[ A joke at which she's trying really hard not to laugh. Oh, and she's failing at that whole not laughing thing. Because seriously. ]
