I can't tell you if it was natural. I don't think it was, given the reports of imPorts being struck by lightning and then acting strangely.

[notdaredevil]

I should rephrase the question. Are you aware, as of yet, of any confirmed non-natural origin of the storm? Where I come from we routinely get visits from people like the Norse God of Thunder, you see, and there's at least one other prominent figure with the power to manipulate weather. And one guy who made a storm manipulating the local weather with a crowd of ants. But as of yet, I've never researched whether or not meteorologists or other scientists could confirm that kind of origin, short of eyewitness accounts.

calling... wtf self...

[boobwindow]

[ A sigh. ]

No, but considering the accuracy of these lightning strikes striking imPorts and not killing them, I don't believe for a second it's natural.

[notdaredevil]

Oh, I don't either, but you and I aren't the sort of people who get elected to juries.

[ Also, this means he needs to call Hank and Peter and possibly Valeria, and figure out which one of them can look into that. ]

Does this friend of yours have a name?

[boobwindow]

I also doubt my words are going to have much weight not being Registered.

It's Wally West.

[notdaredevil]

It certainly takes a lot more time and energy to sway people that way, for sure.

[ But then, he's used to that. ]

Does Mr. West know you're making inquiries on his behalf, or should I expected he'll be surprised to see me?

[boobwindow]

Not entirely, so he'll probably be surprised. I did tell him a friend and I were going to try and get him out as soon as we could.

[notdaredevil]

Do you think he'll stay level-headed enough to exercise his right to remain silent?

1/2

[boobwindow]

[ Awkward silence. ]

2/2

[boobwindow]

... he might need a reminder.

[notdaredevil]

I thought as much. [ Sigh. ] How old is he, exactly?

[boobwindow]

He's sixteen and chatty.

[ He may be seventeen so if Wally says seventeen MY BAD. ]

So you'll agree to help?

[notdaredevil]

Probably. I don't see why I wouldn't, but I'll make a final decision once I've spoken to him. I'll at least step in and see if they're really going to pursue filing charges over this, and see him through his arraignment if they are.

[boobwindow]

Thank you, Mr. Murdock. I really appreciate your help and Wally will, too. Just ignore any immature comments he might make.

[notdaredevil]

He'd hardly be the first client I've had with no brain-to-mouth filter. I'm sure they even teach classes on how to handle that in law school now.

[boobwindow]

I imagine lawyers a lot more patient than procedural shows like to make out. Seriously, I appreciate the help. He's a good kid, I promise.
