Well, it helps that we aren't in a hurry with this. We have time to get this right. I'm glad you told me so I can help keep you safe.

[He looked at Conan funny.]

Why are you always in danger?

"The same reason I never tell anyone unless absolutely necessary," he says bluntly. "The organization that did this to me is still out there. They believe that the poison killed me. If they ever found out that I survived..." He grimaces. "They have a policy of killing anyone with knowledge of them. And I don't know who all of the members are."

People could say that it was safe here. That he wasn't even in the same world anymore. But since arriving here, three other people from his world had shown up here. He'd been lucky that they were allies.

But the possibility existed that Gin or Vodka would be the next to arrive."

Tony nodded at that. He could understand that desire. It reminded him of a time when he'd been particularly blind and challenged someone to attack him by giving his address.

"But you realize if they show up here, not only would they not be able to do that, but they're unlikely to be allowed on the train right? All you'd need to do is point them out to me."

Conan was one of 'his people'. Those who he would go to indefinite lengths to protect and keep happy. Although being a fellow grump, that second part was a bit difficult. That didn't mean it wasn't a goal.

"And I don't know what faces they'll have. Its entirely possible that one of them is already here."

It wasn't paranoia when you were facing with a secret criminal organization of that size.

That did make things difficult, hmm. He thought about the group of people he'd interviewed lately with the questionnaires. He didn't think any of them would be suspect for this, but he could easily been given a false story.

Tobias seemed the 'secret agent' type, but he'd been there for quite a while. "Your world doesn't have unusual humans like some of these people right? No real magic or supernatural elements?"

"There are stories and legends, but up until I arrived here I was able to prove everyone one of those I encountered as hoaxes."

"Right, so the people we're talking about are people. Just people. They may have infiltrated everything and have been trained well, but they're in for a shock too when or if they show up here and find out they're vulnerable to magic." It was something he was still recovering from. His suit had been hindered on a number of these missions.

"In the end, this is up to you. We will find a way to get a cure for this, but only if you're okay with it. We can try screening everyone on the train if you can thing of anything we should be looking for and we can help you always have something to defend yourself with. So what do you want to do?"

These days Gin loomed so large in Conan's mind and memories that it was difficult to think of the organization as just anything.

"Or they show up here and immediately figure out how to take advantage of it." He had to think of the worst case scenario."

A frown, as he thought over what Tony I was asking. It was a risk. Even here on the train. But...

"It's safer for me to stay as a child. But I can't keep living like this. I want my life back, if there's even the smallest chance of it."

He wanted to be able to be called by his own name. To go back to living his own life.

"You've lived long enough in fear, kid. Peter may seem like an idiot at times, but he's damn good when he's needed. You've very powerful friends here and no one is going to hurt you while I'm alive. I give you my word." As a teenager or a child, Conan was important to Tony. He knew the boy often rolled his eyes at him and questioned his maturity, but he was someone he could count on.

"Be patient. This isn't going to be something we figure out over night. No one else is going to be told what's going on unless absolutely necessary and then with your permission."

Even with everything Tony was saying, it was going to take time for Conan to believe in it. Hope wasn't a thing he had much practice with anymore.

"It's been a year," Conan says at last. "I don't have any expectation that I will have a cure any time soon." The apotoxin had never been meant to be reversed after all.

But doing something was still better than the despair of doing nothing.

"But... thank you."
