"Humans typically fear the creatures of the night, but... I wish to understand them better. I'm sure it'll take... only a hundred years... perhaps."

((Back by my demand.))

((Back by my demand.))

"Good morning. I'm making myself ice cubes."

"I've been getting involved with two guys who... are bearing a similar look to some of the individuals at the facility... Or better yet, they're occasionally fighting me at the worst moments."

"I mean yes, I'll be fine. Though, something's gotten my attention as of late."

"... Damn is something crazy going on?"

"That I know of anyways... A lot died in the revolt against them. Before the whole self-destruct thing. I'm happy to be free from there but... I lost a few close friends."

"You wouldn't know them... admittedly, like I said earlier, they're all dead... even the brother I ended up there with."

"... Yes, but I wasn't the only one there with powers."

"No, no... admittedly... I fought back against them with a small group. The facility self-destructed and... well... I was the only one that got out."

"... I mean I'm still human... I think. Humans are capable of a lot. From the utmost kindness to the deepest cruelty. The fact that they're capable of both and not just cruelty is the reason why I decided to be a hero."

"... I was experimented on, yes, because I had powers."

"... Not the same exact company, but something similar... and... I'm not sure they were funded by the government, but they were... doing experiments."

"Ah... I think... oh... I think where I was from was... they said it was like Cadmus... I think."

"... Superman's got an interesting color palette now that I think about it. Red and Blue is like... fire and water... two opposites, you know?"

"... Good afternoon."

"... Ah... well... I mean... I got pretty much... given away to a facility and spent... oh... a lot of time there. Wasn't the best place, truthfully."

"Yes. My... origin story... Kind of."

"... That's part of the long story."

"Yes, sure." He's lying about it.

... I'm not going to blame him though. It's Catwoman.

"... Let's just call it being off the grid."

Batman kissing Catwoman? Gasp.

"... Him and Batman... though I didn't know much until... what... five years ago? Kind of... was preoccupied myself..."

"Oh, inspired by Superman? I mean he is an inspiration to many... myself included."

((I feel bad, we have a few local places.))

((I am sorry for your loss in that regard.))

"Is that some kind of future Justice League?"

((Damn, rip, I know there's a few places around here that do it.))

"... For me, it's hard to say."

"... Maybe in time. It's... probably something to talk about in the future."

((Cracker Barrel is no longer sacred after the logo changing incident.))

((I never said we were going in. I just want the sacred battle ground.))

"... I've had that sort of situation before. Long story."

((Nah, the Chick Fil A.))

((CQC BY THE ALFRED RAT, TAKE HIM DOWN.))

((I might still take the Rat, it knows CQC.))

"... Superman is just Superman, man."

"... I like my outfit. It's all about having something flexible, cheap, and easily replaceable when it eventually gets damaged on the job."

"Well, that's good, I'd hate to think it was on all the time."

"... Sure, whatever you say."

"Is it? That's good to know."

... It's called budgeting. Not all heroes have... a lot of funds.

"... You have that good of hearing? I guess I shouldn't be surprised."

Glad you learned the curse that affects you.

Witch Boy might get shot today.

"... I'd eat a meal from Alfred."

"... I mean there's something going on... But I should be able to handle it."

"... I'd say no... but probably yeah. I know a few heroes, but I'm just... you know, doing stuff solo, you know?"
