[ because, as peter has learned, no superhero - including him - is actually effective. ]

how? picketing his office? why don't we just hand out fliers. because i'm sure that'll stop everyone who's already thinking they're getting solid advice.

Crane won't stay hidden for long. He'll get ahead of himself, he'll get too big, and then he'll become someone else's scapegoat.
But he'll hurt people in the process.
Accusing him invites your becoming his victim. [ he doesn't say 'first' victim. ]

except he already proved he's got no interest in me. why victimize someone he couldn't care less about. i'm a waste of his time, the most he'd do is try to scare me to death.

which, i don't even know if that'd work.

Because of your healing power. Well, you're in a better position than some.

i don't actually know if that's true, though. cellular replication might not hve anything to do with it.

Perhaps.
We can't know how our powers interact with each other until we're exposed to them. It's possible Crane was already trying to use his on you and failed.
That would make you useful.

except for the part where he said i wasn't useful? i'm pretty sure if he was actually in the middle of doing something to me, he might've found it more interesting.

either he didn't get around to it, or he just doesn't care. his loss, i take it.

You got off easy. You should take it, it gives you perspective. And power.

Now let's change the subject. You know who I am because of some sort of graphic novel thing, right, like Winchester?

[askedtobe]

sure. tv shows, too.

don't worry, i'm not going to go revealing your secret identity to anyone.

text; private

[chiroptophobic]

I didn't think you would.

But TV shows too? At least comic books are niche.

[askedtobe]

seeing as my friends were in one, i can agree with you there.

but yeah, i wouldn't try to find out too much about the shows. or the movies, but it sort of depends on which one. there's been a lot.

[chiroptophobic]

Your friends were in a comic book? Friends you met here?

text; private

[askedtobe]

from home.

[chiroptophobic]

That's unusual.

[askedtobe]

not if you've got a comic book artist who can see the future. series of events put us at the forefront of what he saw.

text; private

[chiroptophobic]

And you couldn't change it, once you knew what the future was?

text; private

[askedtobe]

never said that. we changed everything.

[chiroptophobic]

I don't approve much of fortune tellers. But it's good that you changed it?

text; private

[askedtobe]

i was going to explode in the middle of new york city. so yeah, it's good that we changed it.

not everyone agreed.

So you managed to prevent a...temper tantrum?

[askedtobe]
