Raven and Gifteds random 1x1s

[Raven]

"Do you have a taser?" Ben asked. It seemed like a somewhat worthless investment, opposed to a gun.

[Gifted]

"Me? No. Raven did, before she died, because she was a cop."

[Raven]

"I see. Well, we can always get one and try it out. I'd rather be tasered than shocked to death by another me," Ben said.

[Gifted]

"Sure, tat doesn't sound like a bad idea. I got some contacts down at the station." Joan replied. "Put on the disguise I left you and we can head over there and ask for one."

[Raven]

"Erm. The clothes are pretty big," Ben commented. "Why does that matter anyway...? Surely this world's Ben doesn't wear the outfit I'm wearing every day."

[Gifted]

"No, I guess you're right. I just didn't want to take any chances. And he's almost ten years older than you are, that's why the clothes are bigger. I was kind of guessing. Sorry."

[Raven]

"It's fine... I can't believe you've been doing this for ten years..." He sighed and put on the rest of the disguise. "I wish you didn't have to."

[Gifted]

Joan smiled. "Me too, Ben. Me too." She sighed. "Let's go down to the police station"
When Joan made it to the police station it turned out to be a fairly large, well-staffed building. Along one wall were photos of officers who'd died in the line of duty, with a plaque over all of them that said "We Remember/Nous nous souvenons". The last picture was of a smiling Raven, her badge in the frame underneath the picture. The date of death was written as that year... at least that year back where Ben had come from. In this world it was seven years ago, judging by a calendar on another wall.
Joan ignored the picture and went right up to the Police chiefs office.
"Officer Whildes?" Joan asked. The police officer came out of the office and grinned at her.
"Joan! I haven't see you around town in ages. How have you been?"
"I'm great." Joan assured the cop. "I'm okay."
"That's great! And how's Jade?" Joan started to answer, but the words caught in her throat. "Joan..?"
"He got her." She said quietly.
"Oh, I'm so sorry... when did it happen?"
"Three months." The officer sighed and hugged Joan, but Joan shook her head. "Thanks... it's alright. Just part of the job."

[Raven]

Ben looked at the picture for some time before turning to look at Joan and the officer. He didn't speak, not knowing if people would recognize his voice. He put a hand on her shoulder. It was so hard to think about losing all of those people... And poor Isobel.

[Gifted]

"Officer, can I ask you for a favour?"
"Anything, Joan."
"Could my friend and I perhaps borrow a taser?"
"A Taser?" The officer was confused.
"We need to test something. I'll bring it back soon."
"Well... alright.We're not short on staff for once, so there isn't a spare... but you can take mine." Officer Whildes went back into the office and came out with a Taser.
"Thank you." Joan said, taking it. "Sorry this meeting was so brief."
"Have a good day, Joan."
"You too."

[Raven]

Ben waited until they were outside again before speaking to Joan, "Do you think they'll recognize my voice? This could get really difficult."

[Gifted]

"Aw dammit, you know I didn't even thinkof that?" Joan sighed. "Maybe. I'm not sure. I'd just speak quietly and don't get mad at anyone, I mean... you can't really do much for your voice."

[Raven]

"Yeah," Ben agreed. "I don't exactly make a conscious decision to get mad at people, though."

[Gifted]

"Well, try harder not to get mad at people." Joan smirked. "Leia's not around, it shouldn't be a problem for you."

[Raven]

Ben looked suddenly grim. "Bet that poor girl was one of the first, huh?" He sighed and shook his head. "Let's just get back to your place and try this out."
