[ The reply comes in the form of a picture, showing basically a swimming pool's worth slime. Naturally, true secret lab formulas are green and bubbly. ]
You’re the boss, but I gotta know- I trash this place, I’m not gonna be making an enemy out of someone dangerous, am I? I don’t want the Mad Thinker or Joker knocking on my door.
I'm pretty sure I can't get them. Half the time I ain't got blood.
Anyway, he started a firefight in a kid's playground. Kinda like, yah know, that thing what happened that made him the Punisher in the first place. He's such a moron.
I'll get you an ETA when I've got the guy. You know how slippery shady types can be.
[ About an hour, hour and a half that ETA comes in, and Flint does indeed arrive just in time. In a slightly battered looking truck, which would not look out of place turning up at a warehouse. Of course, the fact the large man who exits it doesn't need any assistance in hauling a man-sized crate down, walking in whistling with it held on his shoulder, might give the game away a bit. What's he whistling? Something on the nose.]
yeah but you'd be a fool to try and fight batman too and that ain't stopped you yet
[ This is meant to be friendly ribbing, but who knows if it lands like that. He decides not to mention that when he's flesh and blood Scarecrow could drug him just the same as anyone- he might do it just to see what happened to a guy whose body is shaped by his mind, and that'd open a can of worms no one wants to see. ]
i always wondered, did you pick to be scarecrow just because its got scare in the name? or is it signiffycant?
[ Even autocorrect doesn't get that one. ]

OMG thats brilliant! Also sorry for the wait, work week's been a busy one.
It is not my fault he cheats. Want to talk about your Spider problem?
[ But it is his fault that with himself being 6'3 and 150lbs that he'd think about fighting Batman. It was like... well a scarecrow vs a tornado. Jonathan wasn't that bothered by it. It was more fun to poke back at the other. ]
I believe you were looking for the word significant. As for the name I did not pick it. I wish I could say I did, but he came with the name, pulling it from the name the bullies of my youth used to call me. That is to say, Scarecrow and myself both reside in this body but when I am not on my medication he has more control.
oh yeah, some supervillain that plays fair and square! quote the rulebook to him next time. least spider-man has super powers AND he's some kinda genius. all you gotham guys got it easy. you wouldn't last a week in new york.
[ There are so many superheroes in New York. So many. Why any villain operates there is a mystery. ]
oh. sorry for being a jerk about it.
[ He tries to be sensitive about the whole multiple personality thing. It's probably hard enough to live with. Doesn't stop him from calling Scarecrow a jerk when he's driving, though. ]
glad i didn't end up with what my bullies called me. pretty hard to be a super crook called the sinister panywaist.
I will happily trade you Spiderman for Batman for a week if you wish. You lot always underestimate our Bat. He is crafty and a cheat, as I said. However, why you still choose to work in a city with more heroes than citizens is beyond me.
[ Granted, with people like Marko, Morbius, Venom, and Kingpen, maybe Spiderman was more capable than he expected. ]
Don't worry about it, Flint, most people don't even realize. I am not offended.
[ It was oddly nice to have someone who didn't just take stabs at him for Scarecrow. ]
Oh jeez, yeah, that is worse. I wish he had chosen something else, but I can't make him do anything. So, if you stop so, we can find an umbrella and some strong sunscreen. I suppose I can stop my work for the day.
[ Now they're out of the woods literally and figuratively, Sandy has no qualms about indulging the big fat crush he's developed- and why not? Super hot, doesn't mind he's a crook, has money... super hot. ]
does she count as Hot Goth Girlfriend if she predates all goths except the ones who sacked Rome?
yeah, you can just assume that’s what im thinking any time im talking to you
meet you there?
[ He shoots over an address to a beachside bar. One of those ones that’s basically a stall, you order and wander off from. What are those called? Cabanas? Something like that. It’s fairly out of the way, but if anyone knows beaches and their secrets, it’s Flint. ]
[Her beachwear is as ridiculous as her usual style. Big floppy hat, designer swimsuit and gauzy cover-up robe that uses far too much fabric to be wearing at the beach. She's thrown her hair back in a quick braid that would have them getting stopped by children for looking too much like a Disney Princess if they didn't have the seclusion. The sequins and embroidery on the robe probably wouldn't help in that department. Somehow it's all in the same black-and-teal colour scheme as her usual dress and it is entirely too believable this was all already in her closet.
She pays for the drinks with more cash than necessary, probably because she didn't bother to look at the prices before paying.]
I'm glad you texted. I'd been hoping we could spend some time in friendlier surroundings.
[ Flint's beachwear is, predictably, significantly less elaborate. A pair of swim shorts, in his signature green. Complete with stripes. He did spend a while trying out poses in front of a mirror, however, making sure he looks good in them. That's debatable, but he is pretty sure he looks like a big beast of a man, and that is the same thing if you ask him.
He gets a thrill from watching her pay like an aristocrat ("how much could one drink cost, Flint? $10?"). He's a plutomaniac and isn't shy about it. ]
Sometimes, a guy has just gotta do what he feels like. Otherwise, what's the point?
[ The bartender (cabanatender?) seems to know Flint and thus doesn't bat an eye when he pulls off a sand trick- specifically, the steep cliff the cabana is on suddenly isn't so steep, the sand on the otherwise inaccessible patch of beach crawling up the cliff face to form a spiral staircase. That's where the privacy comes in. He comes here often. It's a good place to think.
He takes a sip of his fruity drink (with an umbrella, this is mandatory) before stepping on the stairs and offering an arm to help her down them. As if she needs it. ]
And I felt like gettin' friendly a whole bunch, babe.

That depends.
Do you want the formula, as in the math with the numbers in it, or the formula as in the actual goop?
Because there's a lot more of the goop than we expected.
no subject
Now, how much more are we talking?

Alright, change of plan. Find a container and get as much as you can carry. Then burn the place down.

It's called a grawlix, kid. It's my way of saying Punisher is such an ass there is no way to put it into actual words.

Ah. He got picked last for kickball. Did the kids win?
[Okay she's mostly gambling on the fact no kids were hurt in the making of this production for her joke to not entirely be in poor taste.]
no subject
Kinda. With some emotional scars. In 20 years we're gonna have a whole bunch of little super villains or heroes running around.

So, I'll see you both in a few hours?
one time i saw captcha kick a puppy. and that puppy's name? albert einstein
sure. what hideout you using these days?
what other option was there then?
Down by the river. I'll send you coordinates.
[The GPS coordinates for an old warehouse follow. Sometimes you have to go with the classics.]
Peace... was never an option.

does she count as Hot Goth Girlfriend if she predates all goths except the ones who sacked Rome?
I'm flattered nonetheless. It's been too long since such a keen-eyed gentleman noticed.
I think that only increases goth cred. The proto-goth, who stole darkness from the gods.
meet you there?
