There you go. Not really dead, and still better off than Jason Todd.

Man, you old-timers sure do have a way with zingers.

[kneecaptain]

I heard gee whiz went out of fashion.

[goodsoldier]

You heard right. I guess the Russian cybernetic people can whip up a mean hearing aid.

[kneecaptain]

There's a lot mean they can do.

[goodsoldier]

But that's okay. You're better off than me in every respect that matters.

[kneecaptain]

They didn't reboot my universe.

[goodsoldier]

I would hope that's beyond the Russians, yeah.

[kneecaptain]

I know one of them got pretty close.

I can't stand that cosmic crap, anyway.

[goodsoldier]

Well damn.

Yeah, that's all just fucking terrible. At least if I stepped into Batman's shoes (HAHA) I wouldn't have to be a beacon of hope to other people or whatever in the midst of cosmic fuckery.

[kneecaptain]

Is Batman really a beacon of hope?

[goodsoldier]

God, no. That's why I wouldn't have to do it. But Captain America? Good luck living up to that, buddy.

[kneecaptain]

Everyone thinks I'm dead.

It makes living pretty easy.

[goodsoldier]

Really.

[kneecaptain]

Sure. If you're dead, you can do whatever you want.

[goodsoldier]

Good luck keeping that going.

[kneecaptain]

It's not gonna work forever, I know. But I don't need it to.
