The Edukators (2004)

Dealt with other before, hm? Ah, his replacement. Rasputin had heard through the grapevine of a new Desperado, one who sounded an awful lot like himself. One arm, barely any cybernetics. Two peas in a pod faced the wrong way. No, Rasputin didn’t know him. But from Sam’s description, he could easily guess his nature.

"Enough." Nothing too far back. Rasputin, unlike most, didn’t know of Raiden’s past. They would have most likely been informed of it by Armstrong in an attempt to psychologically wound the man. All he could dig up was a connection to Maverick and the destruction of part of Manhattan back in 2009.

"Didn't know I was such an open book to everyone," the man almost scoffed in response as he bobbed his head back momentarily, eying him sharply. Now there was the point of how both of them defined "most." Though from the way he put it, it sounded like the whole part about his childhood was not included, which was a relief. Despite his taunt earlier, there was a subtle change in his tone, this time. Uncongested words came along with mellowness in the air, the misty tension quietly dying down below them. Rather inconspicuous was the brief stretch on his lips, corners of the artificial skin curved upwards behind the metal plates of his jaw.

After he gave it a moment, Raiden had finally been able to pinpoint what had felt off the whole time, regardless of given circumstances. There was no real introduction, was there? 

"So, what about you? Y'don't think it's a little unfair I don't get to hear your story?"
