[They do. It takes only a few minutes for him to come down, grinning as he exits the rotating door. He claps his hands once before bounding into the passenger's seat.]

Nice.

[feels good to be in the front seat of these cars for once]

[he's dressed in dark colors, hopefully to obscure that he's not on duty. should any cops get curious. But other than that, they've got this checked out, gassed up, and ready to go.]

So, now that we're here, where am I heading off to first?

[show him how to drive crazy, Zoro]

Four-story garage down in Tisse just got repaved. Got tight corners, columns and the police don't check the area. Perfect place for a beginner.

[Is it really... that sounds advanced, Zoro.

Anyway, he gives Mako the address so he better head on over that way.]

[... that does sound advanced. But-- Mako's up for the challenge. Once he inputs the address into the navigation, they're off.]

You're not gonna make it easy for me to pick up, huh?

[he's halfway joking, but, you know. Not, at the same time.]

Nah. I'm giving you incentive. Don't know much about being a cop but I'm pretty sure you'll get in some trouble if you scratch the car.

[He's grinning. Wow. Devious.]

[a flat look that slowly turns into an impressed on, as he focuses on the road.]

... That.... is really clever.

[jerk.]

So give me the basics before we get there.

Alright.

[He leans back in his seat, the picture of relaxation.] Remember how I told you to turn when we were running from that demon?

Do it now. Left.

[Into the alley they're a second away from passing. Go, Mako.]

[what-- what? what? Mako reacts instinctively, remembering what Zoro had told him about braking and accelerating, and-- at least this time he doesn't clip anything. Thank God?

But holy shit-- that was both fun and nerve wracking.]

You gonna warn me next time pal??

Sure. You're about to hit a dumpster.

[Because guess what? They're in a pretty tight alley. In order to miss the dumpster, Mako's going to have to thread the needle.

Zoro seems nonplussed, whistling.]

[this type of maneuvering though-- this he can do. Seems he's good at threading the needle, it's the sharp corners and drifting that he isn't that great at.

But he casts a glance at Zoro. He's gonna need to keep his eye on the road, and hope none of his coworkers catch him.]

Right or left?

[Zoro's just smiling.]

You see any place to turn here?

[Yeah. Just a dead end straight alley, Mako. In fact, the wall at the end of the alley is coming up real fast.]

Better brake.

[he does, slamming on the brakes, and hearing the car screech to a stop. Good thing this alleyway looks hella empty, because otherwise, they'd be attracting a lot of attention.]

... Pal.

[now to turn back. Navigating this in reverse is going to be Mako's personal nightmare, honestly. What is he even supposed to do with this?

But before he does, of course he gets this faraway look in his eyes that lasts for a minute or two.

How the hell did he get a memory from this?]

... Damn.

[Zoro assumes Mako's frozen up at the daunting task ahead of him. Which if fair. Zoro's fully aware he's being cruel.

It won't stop him.

That expression on Mako's face might, though.]

You good?

Yeah... I'm fine. Just got a memory from this.

[a glance at Zoro-- it wasn't like he knew extreme driving would be coming up in his memories? He'd seemed like... mostly a super powered cop.

And to be fair, it wasn't him driving. But... he was curious about the lightning he'd made in the memory. He'd have to test it out... later.]

Good or bad?

[does he have to take over the driving?]

Neither.

[it was both good and bad? Just another thing to keep in mind.]

Guess I knew someone who could do crazy stunt driving in the past, too.

[and with that, he hits the accelerator, time to back out of this crazy alleyway]

And I've got more than firepower.

Yeah? You good at whatever else that is?

[because he sure wasn't impressed with the firepower a month ago.]

When you get out of here turn right. Backwards.

I was good at it all in my memories.

[a snort, and then he glances at him]

Driving backwards, the whole way?

Yup.

[mako wants to get better, right?]

Think we all knew more about what we were doing in our memories.

[is this really getting better, or giving him a crick in the neck. that's the question.

He gives Zoro a look, shorting before turning right... backwards.

jerk.]

Anyway, I guess I can create lightning, too.

[HE WAS TRYING TO EXCUSE HIS SHITTY FIRE CONTROL WOW]

That's cooler than fire. [he may?? actually sound a bit impressed??] You just remembered that?
