[Isaac curls his fingers into fists, releasing them after a moment, and glancing away. He doesn't like this, doesn't like the thought of this. Scott, why can't you see things from his perspective, here?]
Look, you wanna know why people don't care about angels? Because they're angels. People think angels, and they're like- oh, pure feathery good guys. They think werewolves, and they see two guys who go crazy and murder people once a month.
[He huffs, shaking his head.]
There's a lot less bad things attached to those other people.
[ it's something scott's incredibly aware of. in the end it'd taken backseat to being useful, protecting people, but he can't fault isaac for focusing on this. ]
I know. But you said it yourself, we're not monsters— we can prove it, right?
[ he sounds fairly convinced, but considering his own hang-ups with what they are it's only about ninety percent there. still, as much as this means to scott, this isn't just his secret. he can't force this on isaac, not when it's about both of them, when pack's a thing that's finally in his vocabulary. isaac's opinion matters. ]
I won't make you. And if you really think it'll put us at risk, I won't either. Just promise me you'll think about it.
[Scott's reasoning just makes him sulk, but he really can't disagree. They're not monsters- theyve seen monsters, and Isaac is pretty sure that whatever they are... well, it doesn't qualify. They still have control, still have some kind of desire to help people (even if that's more on Scott's side than his own these days).]
...I'll think about it.
[But he appreciates Scott being willing to wait for him to come to a conclusion.]
[ scott wasn't expecting an enthusiastic agreement, and this is definitely better than a flat out refusal. which means instead of looking defeated, he looks like he's feeling reasonably accomplished. ]
Yeah.
[ the answer's a bit sheepish. dragging isaac out to talk business - it feels a bit... derek. ]
Don't worry. I won't do anything until you decide. [ a pause, then: ] Except that superhero guy kind of knows. But only about me, and I think we can trust him.
[ he totally got scott new shoes okay he's legit. ]
[ this doesn't actually sound that impressive anymore, does it. ] But the point is that we have superheroes. I'll introduce you, maybe we can all go fight crime together.
[ the line's delivered completely straight, but the fact that it's anything but becomes clear a second later. ]
We could always get costumes too. You know, to keep our identities a secret?
[Isaac can't help but to laugh at the joke, even though it's totally a bad one. Come on, Scott, he's cooler than that!!!
Even so, the rest of the walk is in relatively good spirits, despite Scott's motivation for asking him along. And he will think about it- it's not something he can give an answer to straight away, after all.]

[Isaac just repeats it dryly- like he can totally judge, being a teenage werewolf, but whatever, whatever.]
Yeah- I'll let you know. Until then, try to keep it a little on the down-low, alright? The last thing we need is Dean up our asses again.

[ scott's the master of subtlety, he's got this. but in the interest of diverting focus elsewhere: ]
He controlled the elements. Like— quicksand, fireballs. It was intense, and he totally had a costume.
[ and then later he found him crying in the rain with a kitten, but it was still a pretty badass first impression. ]
no subject
Sounds... pretty cool, yeah. How did you run into him throwing fireballs at things?
[Were you in danger Scott, because Isaac swears he's going to put a tracking chip on you or something.]
