Mun is hyped for X-Men Days Of Future Past, and hauled him out.

I have been working nonstop for nearly two years. It's part of the 'benefits' of living inside people's dreams and not being solid.

I don't appreciate you periodically pulling me away from work for this. It's not as if I'm allowed or supposed to tell people the fates of universes. My job is to tell select people how to prevent the end of their world. Whether or not I did warn anyone in that particular universe you're interested in, they either ignored it or found so many ways to keep screwing things up it couldn't be averted. I think saying anything at this point is a bit too late.

Look, there are a lot on universes out there. I have to save as many as I can, but I'm one person. You can't expect me to drop everything and go work with one. I'm running on fumes right now, and I only devote as much time to my 'canon' universe as I do because they've made things that keep threatening to leak into other universes like some kind of cosmic oil spill.

Now, while I'm at least somewhat physical, here - can I have something to eat? And then some sleep before it's back to the grind. You'll see how their universe works things out when you see the movie.

You should really see about delegating responsibility before you do burn out. There's a reason why our retirement plans are solvent, and it's not due to smart budget allocation.

Sorry, I didn't get the notif until now

It's less a matter of delegating things and more a matter of devotion versus common sense.

no sweat

That's a problem a lot of us have. It does make me wonder though. Do you do this out of duty or do you have a real desire to help people beyond your mission?

Thanks.

I want to help people. Life is precious. People are... they're worth something. It's not as if I could just walk away knowing what would happen in my absence. I said it once, I'll say it again: I'm not the bad guy here. [He tilts his head, looking over at the doctor curiously.] If you knew there was a chance your retirement, or even you taking a break, could result in the loss of billions of lives, how often would you be able to shrug, catch a solid eight hours of sleep and go get coffee before getting back to work?

It's hard enough to sleep without being capable of such things. Luckily, my current job will never reach that level of importance and my own capabilities fall quite short of such tasks.
