I don't, because we're not friends.

You're the one who came at this from the wrong angle. If you expect favoritism because we're "friends", then you're the wrong person for the job. Me? I don't know you. At all. Unlike some, I don't look at my friends and see skill sets. I don't talk to them only when I want something from them. Everyone's being treated with the same brush, Red. Unlike some kids you know, I don't let biased opinions taint what I've been tasked to do.

I'm the one who was asked by the HK to compile a list of suitable people who may be able to handle seeing his vision. Either you sell yourself and I write your name down, or you keep climbing up the wrong side of the mountain. I'll make sure he knows you're not the right person for any job if you think the alleged bias I must hold for you because we've spoken only a couple of times means I'll be recommending only you for the task. I'm not the gods; I don't let my favorite go to the ends of the earth without him or her proving themselves to me.

I asked for qualifications. This is an interview process. Either you cut with the shit and realize I'm not PJ and start to get to know me for me or your name isn't going down on the list with the inclusion of your abilities and your experience that I was asked to compile.


[ he's seen it before, over and over, of kids raising their hands to be tasked with something dangerous. but even though they may possess the skill set to hit the ball out of the ballpark, they expected favouritism to pick them each and every time. with each rebuff he's given her, he hasn't heard anything to the contrary of i'm your friend, you should pick me. luke had chosen ethan nakamura and chris rodriguez because they'd proven themselves, jumping through hoops of fire and earning his trust and loyalty, instead of relying on friendship and shared blood, whereas percy would merely pick his best friend without gaining a good understanding of their capabilities. he's not percy — and he's tired of everyone expecting him to roll over and claim the hero title and everyone's supposedly outstretched hands offering him friendships he won't ever allow himself to have. ]
