She snickered. Do something stupid? Oh, she had plenty of plans for stupid things. Ways she could help, without having to take on the biggest gang in the underground.
"Drake is a total douchebag," she said, but there was genuine affection in her tone. She gave a slight shrug, sitting up just enough to look WR in the eye. "But he's my douchebag. Like you're my idiot. And if I know what is going on, then I probably won't go rushing into shit as much. Or, at least, I'll be smarter about it. You know?"

WR returned Gidget's gaze with their own, smiling slightly. This is why they wanted to tell her. They felt guilty for betraying their word to Drake, as they should, but they felt things were better this way. And hey, as long as he didn't know, he could keep his peace of mind.
"I trust you. But I will beat your fucking ass if you run headfirst at them. I swear to Gods."
Their warm gaze, just for a moment, fell cold. Then they chuckled.

She couldn't help but laugh. She had no doubt that WR would beat the crap out of her, if it came down to it, but she had a sneaking suspicion that they wouldn't enjoy a moment of it.
"At least this way, I can try to keep an eye on things for you. I've got my own set of skills, you know. I might not be able to take you, or anyone else, on in a fight... yet... but I have access to basically every security camera that has a feed in this city."
She tapped the side of her head, murmuring, "Big brain. Remember?"

WR broke away from her and reached a hand to ruffle her hair, like they always did.
"I got a job to do, like, tomorrow. Depending on how that goes, I'll let you know what you can do."
They returned their gaze to the road and rose a brow at the unfamiliar surroundings.
"Where the fuck am I going? You got me on autopilot, or some shit."
They shook their head, smiling. It probably didn't matter where they ended up, as long as they ended up together.

"You're going somewhere that isn't a Chinese restaurant," Gidget said with a smirk, settling back into the passenger seat and reaching out to take WR's hand again. With her free hand, she reached up to calm her hair down a little bit.
"Also, when all of this is said and done... I want you to read that file, okay? I'm not going to say something cliche and corny, like no more secrets... because we all have secrets. But I want..." She closed her eyes again, taking a deep breath. The smell of the coal filled her senses once more, and the tension that threatened her shoulders began to slowly fade away. "I want to... let you in."

WR took her hand and rested it on the console again, playfully tapping her joints while she spoke. Part of them was... proud. The Gidget they knew that first day, even if they were close, would have NEVER offered to let them in. Ever. They weren't sure if it was because of their influence, because of Drake, or if she just... wanted to better herself now that she had something to fight for. Regardless, they were immensely happy.
They turned to her with a reassuring smile, gripping her hand slightly more.
"There's no battle I won't fight with you. Remember that."

"As long as you remember the same. We're in this together, now, Sparky... You've kind of grown on me. You know... Like a tumor."
Gidget couldn't help but cackle slightly at her own dumb joke, giving a shake of her head. She turned her gaze out the window once more, a brilliant smile plastered across her face.

WR stifled a chuckle.
"Fuck that analogy, but yeah. You too."
They smiled again, rolling their eyes... if she kept making them smile, they might not ever stop. Not that that would be a bad thing...
Eventually they pulled into a parking lot in front of many small buildings, taking a moment to stretch their arms over their head... and potentially seeing if anything here piqued their interests.
"See anything you like?" They gestured their head toward all the buildings behind them.

Gidget turned to WR, murmuring softly under her breath, "Yes, actually..."
However, she turned her attention back out to the buildings, looking around until she caught sight of some burger joint. It looked like an old fashioned diner, and smelled like greasy, onion-y heaven. She made a soft noise of pleasure.
"Burgers? Ooh, they might have a patty melt, over there..."

WR rose a brow at her first response. Did she... even look around...? Their face reddened slightly, but they hid it by turning to face whatever she was now looking at. Burgers huh? They were down with that.
And with that, they plucked the key from the ignition and swung the door open, turning back to her as they stepped out.
"Let's make a mess then, yeah?"
