"Uncertain. Hmpf. If we do, may have to kill you.”
A pause, brain trying to catch up with his ears. “What?”
“To preserve secret, Daniel.” AAAAHaha, socially awkward Rorschach jokes... Perfect for breaking a moment of tension.
A fist clenches, and Rorschach can feel something hot rising up inside of himself, caught paralyzingly somewhere between love and fear – and it cannot turn blades on the street, cannot stop bullets, but it has power here, in this place. He reaches up to pull his mask free for the second time tonight, to strip away the hiding places and face this creature down with eyes that don't flinch, that aren't afraid.
"No," he says, and the words carry the weight of every truth. "He's not yours. " Possibly the most climactic moment I've read in a long time.
I loved this story. Everything came together so well, and I wish I was literate or coherent enough to give you a good review. Just know that the whole fic played out in my head like a really good movie, and it'll stick with me for a while. <3
