"Yeah... Sorry but if I'm going your going with me, and probably for the better." light said, noticing his annoyed tone. "I have a partner, and while hes slow, hes not as nice as I am." She continued, holding both hands behind her back and posing as an innocent little girl. "And well... Remember what I said about how your not invincible? Yeah... Your a smart guy, I'm sure you can put 2 and 2 together." 

She thought for a moment as the man didn't budge but kept gesturing for her to leave. thinking for a moment and remembering back to a previous conversation, she asked. "Question. You say you have some sort of pain. What if there were a way to remove that pain while not losing your power. You know, become a 'normal' person like me just with superpowers? Apparently when I was talking with my supervisor, he greenlit that sorta project if your interested."

Of course if he said no, Light would have no choice but to go the violent route. But damaged as he may be, he seemed civil enough. But if not, well, he did leave a giant knife on a counter, and Light was much closer to it than he was...

It didn't help that Light was getting some new orders, just as she was finishing up here. She wasn't very close to Velocity Max, but did know him and his work a little. She was eager to figure out the mystery behind his death, so hopefully the guy came along with her. A fight would delay her far longer than she'd like.
