No, it would not be funny if my girlfriend came back and completely forgot about me. What is wrong with you?

Besides, I... I might miss her, but I have more important matters to deal with. There's work to be done. We both need to focus on that now.

They like torturing us. This shouldn't be news.

You're right. I shouldn't be surprised.

If it's any consolation, on the off chance that does happen, you'll probably have people to commiserate with as I highly doubt you're the only one to have gone through something like that.

What Carol said.

If you say so, but I'm not really a big fan of crying, hugging and sharing.

Misery loves company, huh?

It's cold comfort but I guess it's better than nothing.

Neither am I. I've always found the phrase "misery loves company" somewhat bewildering.

I wasn't offering a support group.

Heh.

It's good to know I'm not alone in that.

If there's anything I've learned it life, it's that you're almost always not the only one.

And I only say almost because the life of a superhero is a very strange one.

Good. Because it would have been somewhat alarming if you had.

Admittedly, we don't know each other well, but I didn't think you were the type.

You don't have to tell me twice.

Though, if you ask me, a "normal" life seems pretty strange. Maybe stranger.

Strange and normal are fairly relative.

Speaking from experience?

I don't think keeping yourself bottled up is a good way to stay sane.

But I'm not really one for group therapy.

Oh yeah. If you had told seventeen year old me that I would think of certain aspects of my life as normal twenty years later, I would have thought you were crazy.

Twenty years later?

[ REILLY SHUT YOUR MOUTH YOU MORON. DANGER, DANGER. ]

I-- I mean! I, I get what you're saying! S- Sort of, anyway, even thirteen-year-old me would look at me now and... [ Judge you? ] And, uh. Wonder what's up.

Did you think I was older or younger than thirty-seven?

[ THIS IS TOTALLY IMPORTANT ]

Is that because of the City or because of other things? Both?

My idea of group therapy is myself and a few punching bags that I can really trust, you know? [ Trust to take a fair amount of abuse, that is. ]

But... that's not an option now. Not at the dojo, anyway. [ SIGH. ]

There's someone, I guess. He has plenty of his own problems, though, I shouldn't bother him with this.

...Y-younger.

[ That's what he's supposed to say, right? It's what he thought anyway, but that's the polite response, RIGHT? ]

Mostly the City, but a bit of both. My idea of normalcy was pretty skewed long before I got dragged into another world.

[ SQUINTS.... ]

Good answer. Thanks for the ego boost.

If I ask for elaboration, will you explain that?

It hasn't even happened yet, has it?

[ trying so hard not to crack under the pressure oh god oh god ]

You're welcome?

Uh. H- honestly, it's easier if I don't get into the details! Trust me.

I was being sincere.

Kid, I highly doubt there's any weirdness that you could throw out that would catch me totally off-guard.

No. It might never happen.

...And now that I've said that out loud, I'm starting to realize how stupid I sound.
