[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?
