Voice testin' so I can app when there's more than two issues of this book

[demarked]

Stop wasting time and finish what you've started. I'm not going to let you use me just so you can procrastinate a little bit longer.

Besides, I've had enough of other people taking control of my life and getting me into trouble, thanks. I'm better off not being trapped in whatever idiotic "game" you're thinking of, and whoever is already there is better off without me around.

Find someone else.

I'm not sure if talking with them ever helps.

[demarked]

No, it doesn't, but it was worth a shot.

[kneecaptain]

Nothing to lose, right?

[demarked]

Don't know about that. Things can always be worse.

[kneecaptain]

Oh. An optimist.

[demarked]

I'm speaking from experience.

[kneecaptain]

You know, I don't like to be the cheery person in the conversation.

[demarked]

There's an easy way to solve that.

[kneecaptain]

You really wanna be the guy talking to his imaginary friends?

[demarked]

It only sounds crazy when you put it that way.

[kneecaptain]

Maybe to a crazy person.

[bedeviledspider]

[ so. there's a... daredevil rip off glaring daggers at you. ENJOY THAT, KAINE. ]

You do have a history of screwing things up.

[demarked]

And how would you know?

[bedeviledspider]

A little thing called experience.

Uncle Kaine.

[demarked]

[WHAT.]

...You have the wrong Kaine, kid.

[bedeviledspider]

[ YOU HEARD HIM. ]

No, I don't. It's a lot less hideous than I remember, but I'd recognize your face anywhere.

[demarked]

[Gonna let that hideous remark slide...]

I'm not the only man with this face. You could be wrong.

[bedeviledspider]

[ He takes a deep breath and starts letting his features fade into their "normal", human state. The red hair aside, he could be mistaken for any of them. ]

Perhaps. But I'd like to think I'm pretty familiar with this face.

[demarked]

You have ten seconds to convince me this isn't a trick. [Because the Jackal is an asshole like that.]

[bedeviledspider]

What if I told you my name? [ Because it's the only thing he thinks Kaine might believe. ]

[demarked]

Then do it and stop wasting time.

[bedeviledspider]

Hmph. Patient as always.

I'm Reilly. Reilly Tyne.

[demarked]

[Well at least he's not going to claw your face off anymore.]

Okay, now you need to explain how this happened.

[bedeviledspider]

[ Oh, good, that would have been so rude. ]

Well, see, when a clone and a woman love each other very much...

[demarked]

[HM.]

You're too much of a smart-ass to be lying.

[bedeviledspider]

[ HMPH. ]

What can I say? Being a smart-ass is in the blood.

[demarked]

Unfortunately.

Still not convinced I'm the man you're thinking of. "Uncle". I'm not even good with kids.

[bedeviledspider]

I never said you were good with kids.

It's just that you were the only one left to do the job, I guess. The only one who even knew he had a son.

Mayday is bold.

[puny_parker]

...Uncle Ben?

Not your Uncle Ben kiddo. Kaine, you're looking distinctly non-hideous today.

[demarked]

I had a bath.

...Is that-[Just going to start at that kid instead of finishing the sentence.]

He's from a comics crossover game, btw.

[puny_parker]

One hell of a bath, it looks like

Who you're thinking it is? Yeah. Alternate universes, go fig. In mine, I had people with a vested interest in keeping her safe coming out the wazoo, thanks to being one of the founding members of the Teen Titans, so Mongraine wasn't able to get anywhere near her.

[incywincyhero]

So, first you stole my awesome stealth costume, and now you're not even using it? Tch, it just figures.

[arach_nerd]

Since when do we have a stealth costume?

[Says the guy with a four-year-old who should be dead or non-existent riding depending on timeline riding on his shoulders]

[demarked]

This one looks better.
