“WHAT THE FUCK are you doing?”
“Practicing my powers?”
“Why?”
“To do good? For good?”
“Hmm.”
“I’m not gonna harm anyone… much…?”
“And if you do?”
“It’s my ass. I know…”
“Because?”
“Good guys need bad guys to justify themselves.”
“And what do you do instead?”
“Neutralize. Disarm. Disable. Search and Rescue. Restore. Recuperate. Rehabilitate. Recover. Retrieve. Repair. Replace. Rescue.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s my ass. It’s always my ass on the line.”
“And?”
“No other real way to make things good for everyone and everybody around and out. Fuck, that’s a lot of R’s”
“What the fuck did I say about cursing?”
“Not at the wrong time or place, sir.”
“Do you want it to be your fucking ass right now? Cus I just stopped you from getting started on some shit. What are you going to do when I’m not around? I’m only your caretaker for now so you learn to take care of yourself and others. Eventually you’ll get sick of me and grow up or I’ll get sick of you and leave. Or we’ll go our separate ways and see each other when we see each other, if we see each other.”
“Yeah, you’re right. Sorry, I forget.”
“I forget too. I forgot not to leave you alone for too long yet. Thank you and…?”
“Proceed wisely.”
