Techster nodded at her explanation. It was completely reasonable to hold doubt when the entire court proceedings had been covered in lies on the other side.

"Well, given a series of events I created a timeline. I was already interested in you given the court case. I delved a little further, creating that timeline, and took the oddities and put them together. Looking-Glass didn't appear until after your hospital stays and the more unfortunate events in the recent past. Plus you just look like a kid who wants to be a hero. That's a gut feeling, though. I could be entirely wrong, of course," he explained quietly. "It just makes logical sense to me, though. I know your age, your history, and the details of your current circumstances. Most else is deductive work from that information."

He put this device away, turning it off as he did so, before continuing. "I don't expect you to trust me, really, and that's okay. I'll prove myself to you in time. But you say you're in my debt. I don't see it that way, but that look in your eyes tells me you're going to stick to that. So, how about an offer, under the assumption that I'm right. I haven't made a public debut yet. No one knows I exist outside of my normal name and identity. Besides you and my parents and some of the bigwigs in the City. How would you feel about teaming up? I can help make your... creations? I think they're creations. Whatever they are, anyways, I could try and help make them more potent. More versatile. It would give me things to do, to occupy myself and further help you and others."

A hand went through his hair. "You don't have to accept, for the record. It's just an idea. You could think on it and then decide, or just decline now. Either way, I'll be covering those little points I found so no one else can hope to figure out half of what I have. And everything I've said since I've shown up here stays between us. I promise that."
