So. [Guess who has two thumbs and isn't going to be talking about the flood or anything else that's been going on lately? THIS KID.] How common, exactly, are superheroes or vigilantes and stuff a... thing in your world? Because we sort of just had the one back home, and it kind of seems like there's about fifty of them on the Barge alone.

[He hesitates a beat before continuing, because this is just fucking weird to be talking about, even though it seems like there are a lot of people who are pretty cool about the whole I can juggle cars/set things on fire/kill you with my brain thing on board.]

And if you don't have superheroes, then what about people with superhuman abilities? Or, I don't know, what's normal on your home planet, if you're not from Earth?

You don't have to answer if you don't want, I'm just, you know. Curious.

[Private to Bond]

[He doesn't really want to talk about this at all, honestly. Buttt he does want to acknowledge it and say thanks, too, so. Keeping it short and sweet. B(]

Thanks. For not telling her about why I'm here.

[Private to Oliver]

Seriously?

[YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID, OLIVER.]

[Private to Alex]

So, I'm Spider-Man. [...] Which you probably guessed by now, but. I thought it was fair, considering, you know. [That truth flood. B(]

Sorry.

[Oh, Bruce.]

Yeah, he's okay. He's not actively trying to fight me, so that's something.

Well - he is, but he's not trying that hard, so. I think we're good.

[Batworried about batinmate, yes.]

Getting antsy yet?

[private, voice]

[myresponsibility]

Not exactly. I mean, I kinda miss the whole webslinging thing, but considering the week I had before I got here, a break probably isn't the worst thing ever, you know?

You?

[private, voice]

[tolaywaste]

I can see how you'd prefer it here to being shot at, yep. This is better.

[Which is an incomplete answer and kind of a lie, but in some ways it is, and he feels like he's doing the right thing by staying here.]

[private, voice]

[myresponsibility]

Marginally, anyway.
