((Damn you, making me check my timeline!
I have decided this takes place after the visit to Adrian's office since he had an earlier visit with Dan that took place before, back when Megan played him.))
"Hmm. Electronic filing department," said Rorschach with a slight snuffle, as though coming down with a cold, not that anyone would be able to tell with that voice, after he'd pulled the information up out of his memory. "'Good with computers', Veidt said. Insane, probably. Thought she was from distant future. Wanted access to electronics to prevent future monopoly by company called GlobalSoft. Obviously not from three hundred years into future. But might have invented mad story based off true facts. Still investigating."
Cautiously, hair raising on the back of his neck, as he'd never gotten over that habit of tension when Daniel was there even after all the years - Daniel cleaning scrapes and stitching cuts - they'd been partnered, and certainly not after all the years in which they hadn't, he folded up the mask over his mouth and carefully picked at one of the teeth in the back of his mouth. No good. Would need floss or something.

((All right))
"You know she isn't the only person here that thinks they're from the future, I've talked to more than one that believes this place is some kind of portal." But he knew Rorschach wouldn't listen so he sighed "Any luck with that yet?"

"None," replied Rorschach curtly, pulling the mask down again. He stood, as though to say that the conversation was winding down, and they had nothing more to tell each other. But he glanced down at his gloved hand, almost awkwardly, like he was pausing to give himself something to do. However, if he was stalling for time, trying to think of somehting else to say, he failed, as his next words were rough and almost accusatory, despite their apparent innocence.
"Who's Megan?"

"Oh" Dan laughed awkwardly "Megan's my roommate."

"Now don't start on me Rorschach, she's a good girl and there is nothing going on with me and her. She needed a place to stay so I offered her up my extra room all right?"

Rorschach grumbled wordlessly, nothing to say, rather anticlimactically. Even though the defense of Megan gave him cause to be indignant, there was no reason to press.
One thing did occur to him. "Should have told me there was a room-mate," he said stiffly. "Wasn't being careful. She could see me come in."
Wouldn't be able to visit Daniel anymore, not like this, anyway. Would have to watch to make sure Megan wasn't around.

"Rorschach don't worry about her, she knows about Niteowl, she can be trusted. Trust me."

"Knows?" That was either anger or panic in the rough edge of his voice. "Knows about me too?[/i]

"She knows you exist, whether or not she knows that I know you, I have no idea. And it's not as though anyone knows who you really are, so just cool it okay?" Dan wasn't really in the mood to play Rorschachs games tonight.

"Cool it," repeated Rorschach. "Hrrn." But he appeared to be giving this serious thought.
"Knows about us," he continued, nodding as he contemplated. "So is... a good person, Daniel?"
This was a lot of lenience coming from Rorschach. Trusting Daniel just because he said to trust him was not something Rorschach had always been good at doing. Once, in the earliest days of their partnership, he had decided to double-check a fact Dan had laid out and ended up ambushed by the gang they were tracking while doing so. It had been a miracle Dan had happened to be following Rorschach intending to give him a piece of his mind for this apparent lack of trust between them. Rorschach had not done anything so stupid again, but the mindset was the same.

"She's very good, a little strange to say the least, but good. I don't think there's an evil bone in the poor girls body" he was glad Rorschach was being as... understanding as Rorschach could be.
His mind wandered for a moment as well to their early days, but pushed it back with an adjustment of his glasses.

"Hrrn. Sounds soft."
He watched Dan adjust his glasses. Somehow, mostly as he had, through some miracle, good vision, he had always been slightly skeptical of them. Obviously Dan never wore them on patrol. Or had, back when they'd had patrol.

"You'd think so, but-" Oh he wouldn't tell anyone "-she can create fire from her hands, and when I took her on patrol she managed to kill a man by catching him on fire and accidentally dropping him fifteen stories."
Of course this is the first Dan had told Rorschach about being back in costume, if even only for a second.
