"So why are we going for a walk?" Jason asked.
"Just to talk." Wave said. "Just like old times."
"It just seems weird that you're not trying to kill me right now."
"You know, I'm not like I was when I was with Mephiles." Wave said. "I can control myself."
"Well, that's a relief." Jason said.
"I know there's more to life than killing and destruction." Wave said. "Which is why I asked you if you wanted to take a break from fighting and go for a walk."
"Oh." Jason said. He wasn't sure what else to say.
"Not in the mood to talk all of a sudden?" Wave asked.
"It's not that." Jason said. "It's just that most of the time when I try to talk to you, you end up almost killing me."
"Then try saying things that don't involve my parents." Wave suggested. "And stop saying things that may try to mess with mu feelings. I will get the Emeralds. I have the advantage now."
"You mean Tails." Jason said. "Right?"
Wave smiled.
"What have you done with him?" Jason asked.
"He's safe. As long as he does what I say, he should be fine. I think he finally understands that. It just took a little motivation."
"Motivation? Such as?"
"Let's just say I think that he didn't want a broken arm." Wave said.
"You almost broke his arm?" Jason asked, surprised.
"Well... crushed. But it's the same thing."
Jason spun around and grabbed her by the throat, pinning her against the side of a building.
"He's only eight years old, Wave. Eight. How could you hurt him?"
"Oh, it was easy." she said. "He wouldn't cooperate."
"I can't believe you. I can't believe you would actually do that."
"Well, I did. So get over it."
"How is he now?"
"He's fine. Nothing broken and in perfect health."
Jason released his grip. "Good." he said calmly.
"You have a strong grip when you're angry, Jason." Wave said, feeling her neck. "You should learn to use that to your advantage."
"Whatever." Jason said. "I gotta get back." He turned around and headed back to the bank. "You comin'?" he asked, looking behind him. Wave was gone.
