Michael smiled and had the good nature to look at least a little embarassed at being complimented that way. He didn't think his contributions were anything to write home about, but he was willing to take them on for now and wasn't going to get into a back and forth over who had been the most helpful; sometimes you had to just take the compliments.

 

"Thank you, Shooting, Officer Morris." he offered a little wave. 

 

"As for who owns this...well, I'm not sure. But it seems like it might not be someone whose fully on the 'up and up', so to speak, if they were willing to hire dangerous mercenaries to get it back; ones that won't even say who hired them. My assumption is people like that are quite expensive to purchase."

Shooting Star 

 

Alice gave Golden Star an encouraging pat on the back at his thanks. She genuinely meant it when she had said he had done well.

 

She too shrugged helplessly at the question of who the owner of the axe was, chuckling as Golden Star mentioned that it was probably expensive to hire super mercenaries. "I dunno, given how many supers there are in Freedom I'm sure the wages for mercs have been pushed down due to competition. Pretty sure there are more of them than supermarket cashiers."

 

Officer Morris grinned slightly, "It gets pretty expensive once you get past the supers whose power is to be strong enough to tear a phone book in half." He shook his head amusedly. "Well, we'll get a couple pictures of the axe. You can feel free to strike heroic poses with it, chances are we'll have the proper owner turning up within a quarter hour of the pictures entering our systems. Somehow they always know."

"Ah...no...I don't really want to touch that thing again." Michael said seriously, looking at the axe in concern. "It's...no. I don't like that thing. I would be careful with it." he mumbled. He was clearly uncomfortable about the idea of even touching that thing again, much less striking any kind of pose with it. "I'd put it in a case somewhere and definitely make sure it's not touched. I really don't want to deal with it anymore if I don't have to."

He looked at Shooting Star, who hadn't touched the Axe and offered a little shrug. He couldn't really explain it better than that, and he definitely didn't seem to suggest she should touch it and find out.

"Er...you can, if you want to. I'm okay." he said finally, controlling his composure a little. Maybe he was overreacting? Or maybe he was just mentally weak, and Shooting Star wouldn't have issues with it.
