[ WOW don't laugh at him!!!

colors some ]

- I'm blaming superhero genetics.

[ it's only half the reason ]

Is that what folks are callin' it now? Hah.

If that's what yer gut is telling you, guess you gotta see it through.

Isn't that something you'd be telling me anyway?

I mean something like "are you only going to see it halfway through?"

Yep! So as long as yer sticking to it, I ain't gonna tell ya not to go for it.

I dunno if everyone else feels the same way about goin' back though.

That's probably normal?

And given no one got a choice in it I don't see them not choosing to go back to be a particularly bad thing.

True, I just wish they could run if they wanted to. Even if that whole shindig is tryin' to help you guys in some fucked up away, if they don't want it , that's their choice to make.

Not really my business, ultimately.

Do you think it's not helping you?

You're one of us, so your part is your business.

Haaah? [scoffs]

I guess me bein' on the ship is a better deal than this cell, yeah. But ultimately I'm still a convicted felon. What, you want her giving me a free pass somehow, scrubbing my record clean?

I mean, she probably could but no -

I meant the whole whatever's going on with powers and abilities effects you too.

You think so? Ha. . .sure I got a vine growing in my arm, but that's not all that concerning to me.

And unlike you, I ain't no hero. You've got a lot to gain, not me.

That should definitely be concerning.

[ a ??? beat ??? ]

I'm not a hero either and you have just as much to lose or gain as I do.

. . .?

You don't think you're some kinda hero?

- no? It's not like I've ever done anything particularly heroic.

Maybe hero's too dramatic of a word, but you're definitely one of them goody two shoes helper types.

Also tryin' to be useful, willin' to sacrifice yourself? That ain't a character trait most people find easy.

... What is it you think most people are like, exactly?

Eh?

Selfish, violent, opportunistic. Survival of the fittest is what matters most, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Course, I don't have a huge frame of reference.

[ Makes a face. ]

Not completely inaccurate, but not all that accurate either.

And you don't... see me as that.

Nope! Honestly thought you'd be dead within the first couple days of meetin' ya!

But you proved me wrong. It suits you.

[ Confusedly: ]

Glad to hear my night being dead suits me?

[cackles, affectionate]

I'm sayin' you should just do you. It's workin' out for ya--I'm still always gonna root for ya to be a little more cutthroat, buuuut. If you don't, it's no big deal. You just gotta go with your gut.

[ flushing a little. ]

Good, because I don't know how to be anyone else. And my gut is not to be trusted, TBH.

[one day he is going to ask what those acronyms mean]

Just makes it all the more excitin' to see the consequence of those actions.

Consequences people tend to shake me around for, sure.

You get shaken but ya always find yer footing afterwards, right?

So it ain't a problem.

I meant literally shaken!

But fair, I guess. I don't like not doing something even when I'm whelmed.
