Ha... kick away. I probably... need it anyway.

[At this point, it's not like he'd fight back.

Still, he wouldn't spread it around. What would be the point?]

Well, if you're gonna pull up an attitude like that, maybe I will?

[She understands it. Probably even better than she'd be willing to admit, having played a role in inadvertently causing countless people to suffer in other worlds just by existing there. But that doesn't mean she's going to just let him wallow in self-hate. It eats at you -- it's definitely not a good coping mechanism.]

But I guess I'll have to wait until you're walking around again first. I mean, kicking the ass of a guy who can't even try and run away... what fun is that?

I thought superheroes weren't supposed to run away from a fight.

[...Ah. Wait.

He's not a superhero anymore.]

Well, yeah, maybe the stupid ones. Why stay and fight if you know you'll just get your ass handed to you? Then you'll just wind up becoming someone else's problem when they have to come out and save you. Sometimes, it's a lot smarter to run away.

[Which is clearly a very serious and delicate issue that she's obviously put a lot of thought into--]

I mean, unless you like the whole dude-in-distress thing, I guess. You never know what some weirdos are into these days.

[--or not.]

Weirdos?

[Gurl does he have to go all social-justice-warrior on y-

...nngh. He doesn't even have the energy for that.]

Nothing wrong with a guy getting saved once in a while.

Of course there isn't! But there's a big difference between a guy who needs saving because some all-powerful bad guy kidnapped him, and a guy who needs saving because he can't save himself. Especially if the latter got in trouble while trying to play the hero. That's just sad.

[She may be talking from experience here.]

Is a hero who tries and fails really that much less of one than the hero that succeeds?

[Falling in battle is supposed to be pretty heroic and grand. You know. Historically. And theoretically. Or something like that.]
