          “That depends on a few things.”

   "Oh yeah?"          She moves her head,          as if to get a better          perspective on the          situation.     "What kinds of things?"

”Quick! Get down!”

  Instincts act first.       She ducks, head under arms,       like she's in a fire drill. Sass       comes second.               "Is there a point to this?"

         Mine seems to be fine,          maybe it’s telling you to take a break?

  There are no breaks when    you're hacking into advanced    security. Stay in one place for    too long and they can track    you right down to the place    you're standing. Or sitting.

         ❝In many                         different ways. It could indicate                         a raise or drop in temperature,                         but that’s just one of a variety of                         advantages.❞

  ❝ So if             we go to the north pole,            it'll tell us that it's colder?            Helpful. ❞

"Perhaps your little facility is not as guarded as you think," the God purred, anger in his eyes as he started to circle the other.

❝ Little?           Have you seen this place?           It's bigger than, like, five           new yorks. It's more like a           maze than a building           complex. I'm lucky that I           got in.                 But in that -- you don't                 really fit in. Isn't green,                 like- last year's color?❞

“Guys like me ? Are we talking about criminals ? Come on, I just create an ice path for children to play with. Yet ? Oh, please, I’m not interested in threatening anything, and if I did — you would have a fight ahead of you. I’m not an amateur at what I do. I’m the Winter Spirit, so freezing things is one of my skills. You make me sound like a future terrorist or an evil mastermind ready to snap. Don’t you think you are too dramatic ?

❝Criminals?             Only if you want to be one.             Which is a bad idea, is what              i'm trying to say. And 'what              you do' is what puts people              in danger like that. Trust me,              i've seen it.       The Winter Spirit? You've given       yourself a name? Great. And        I'm the dramatic one. ❞

         ❝Right— okay.                         It measures and scans                         for fluctuations in the                         Earth’s atmospheric                         pressure.❞

 ❝See,          that wasn't so          hard! So then          how does it          help us out?❞

            ❛I don’t                       use  a n y .❜

 ❝ Nuh-huh.                   You cannot just                   wake up like                   that. So unfair.            Why the 'ail'            stuff, though?            Are you like -                   a therapist?❞

            ❛What is                          it that ails you ?❜

 ❝ What                ails me? More like,                what conditioner                do you use? ❞

           “Fine, you saw me. Then what ?       You are going to accuse me of —something.        I was not threatening national security, was I ?       I was only doing my ‘job’. Except mine is far more fun than any other job.”

  ❝ See,             my job is to catch guys like you            who aren't 'threatening national            security' yet.      And so is your 'job'      just freezing things      over in the middle      of summer?      Because that could      threaten national      security pretty      f       a       s       t.  ❞

         ❝It— um—                         it… scans—                         for things ?❞

         ❝Alright,                         work with me here.                         A little bit more?❞

         ❝Well, y’won’t                           get anywhere if y’pretend t’be                           somethin’ you’re not.                                  Y’wouldn’t follow if I did tell you.❞

          ❝What I am                              doesn't really seem to fit                               quite right.                          Well can you -- simplify it                          down a bit, so i can?❞

"I’m innocent. I have no idea what you are talking about !                  I’m a victim of circumstance.”

"Circumstance? We saw you.     You -- did something, and     our cameras caught it.     Now it just depends if     you're gonna fess up or     not."
