[Neither of them are wrong about him being terrible at first impressions, so he can't really argue there. He ducks his head a little at the ruffle - he's getting used to those by now, and even though he's reluctant to admit it to himself it's a bit of a comfort - and once Jason moves his hand he'll start fixing his hair, shrugging at that question.]
Houses a bunch of local thugs when they feel like having their little get-togethers.
( it's not until after jason's standing that he's shoving gently against accelerator's head, pushing him over closer to the detonator dick's working on. )
They're going to be out handling more pressing concerns here in an hour or so. Figured we might use the opportunity for a field trip.
[Wow, rude. There's another glare from Accelerator, but he acquiesces and shifts a little bit closer to the couch where Dick is.]
Blowing up their base is going to be enough?
[More like, are they the kind of scum who'll be put off by the warehouse exploding, or will they find some other hole like a bunch of rats and keep doing whatever the hell it is they do?]
( his usual target of choice, second only to human traffickers. but he's not taking a bunch of teenagers to that. jason goes significantly less easy on people the more they piss him off, and nothing pisses him off like people trading in human beings. )
[He sounds rather indifferent. Unethical and illegal drugs exist even in a closed city like the one he's from, and kids like himself were commonly used in their development. He's also aware those same kids - the ones that fell through the cracks, who got sucked into working for Academy City's underworld - were often the ones who turned around and used those drugs.
It's doubtful some gang is involved in any actual experimentation, if it's going on. Not if Jason is only going with explosives for these bastards. They're probably just drug running or whatever. Still bad, but not bad in a way that requires Accelerator to express any kind of real emotion. So he doesn't.]

They're only fake when I want them to be. [ Which is often, but that's neither here nor there. ]
What'd the warehouse do to offend you?

What're they known for? Drugs? Money laundering?
