IDK IF I STILL GOT THIS

[boobwindow]

You know what would help, kid?

Canon reviewing.

Not that I'm looking forward to whatever drama you want to toss me at this time. Protecting innocent civilians and making sure the bad guy of the week has their teeth knocked out? That sort of drama comes in the job description. Dealing with lost friends and universe drama? Well... I think you get that complicated picture.

You should, anyway.

Just for the conversation, then?

[boobwindow]

You make it sound like we're friends.

[retconman]

We could ping-pong threats back and forth, if you'd rather, but isn't it nicer to catch up a little first? I mean really, Karen, we'll probably be at each other's throats soon enough.

[boobwindow]

I'd tell you I'm not interested, but I doubt that matters much to you.

And this is exactly the kind of garbage I'm not looking forward to.

[retconman]

I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't looking forward to it a little. The thrill of challenge mildly outweighs my hatred of inconvenience.

[boobwindow]

You never learn, do you? Whatever you're planning, it's not going to work.

[retconman]

That's your problem. Always underestimating.

[boobwindow]

Not this time, Max. And you're going to have more than just me to worry about.

[retconman]

I'll get by. And I really hope that it drives you nuts.

[boobwindow]

You know what they say. Be careful what you wish for.

[retconman]

My wishes have a way of coming true.

[boobwindow]

Once upon a time you were occasionally annoying.

Now you're just a huge pain in the ass.

[retconman]

I've more than earned the right. Do you have any idea what it was like dealing with all of you for as long as I did?

[boobwindow]

Yeah and I'm terribly sorry everyone thought of you as a friend and treated you as such. Really.

[retconman]

You misunderstand, but that's to be expected. It wasn't without its good times. It's regrettable, but I can't live in the past.

[boobwindow]

Why don't you try to explain it to me, then?

[retconman]

For all the good superheroes can do, there's an ugly side everybody tries to ignore. I don't think you're bad people. Mostly. But you don't see the real consequences. You're too far removed from them.

[boobwindow]

We're not perfect and have never been. We make mistakes, just like everybody else. I've never denied that.

[retconman]

Most people's mistakes don't cost innumerable innocent lives. Most people don't have that sort of power.

[boobwindow]

You're one to take the moral high ground when you've gotten innocent people hurt and killed.

[retconman]

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Anyway, innocence in this case can be highly relative.

[boobwindow]

You killed thousands of civilians in Chicago and framed Captain Atom for murder. Hundreds more infected and sick with radiation. You also took control of one of my employees and when you were done with her, murdered her.

How can you even justify what you've done?

[retconman]

Do you actually want to discuss this, or are you determined to make me the villain? You can't make a cake without breaking some eggs, but those eggs are a part of the final product. Drastic or not, these were steps that needed taking.

OKAY BED FOR REAL... /clings to this post

[boobwindow]

And let's not forget the tens of thousands you got killed when you stole the OMAC Project. One of which included Ted. [ Then you made them all believe Ted killed himself. GOD YOU'RE SUCH A DOUCHEBAG. ]

You are the villain here, Max.

SPIES ON YOU

[retconman]

Call me a villain if you want, but I wasn't happy about having to kill Ted.
