And see, that's how I'd rather be saving the world.

That makes sense. I am grateful, by the way.

So I noticed. [Billy grins and gestures to the bag of candy. He'll be enjoying that gratefulness for a few days unless Tommy finds the stash.] Really, I'm not bragging or fishing for thanks. About the witch thing, I'm just... you know. Curious. Alternate reality and all.

Yeah well, I admit, I was a little clueless about what you'd like.

[He grins and nods.]

Same. It's pretty strange thinking there's another version of me. And that he's dead. That part I could've lived without.

But no, no witches where I'm from, not that I know of.

[...Oh, right, the dead thing. He hadn't known that Hawkeye was aware of it, so he can at least stop walking on eggshells.]

Actually... you're not. Or- he's not, anyway. "Presumed dead". I think he just went to Transia.

[Clint just stares for a moment and then rubs at the bridge of his nose.]

Ben said that I was. Sue too. I am... very confused. Although I admit, the presumed dead does sound like me.

Honestly? Even I'm not sure how it really works. Death's... not always permanent where I come from, and both Teddy and my brother are from further into the future than me, Sue, or Ben, and they both agree that Hawkeye's alive and well.

Not usually a big fan of dead things not staying dead, but I think this time I can make an exception.

It's weird to be talaking about another version of me and their not quite deadness. Schroedinger's Hawkeye.

[Pfft, that's a beautiful way of putting it, actually.]

I can promise you that 99.9% of all revivals in my universe are unrelated to zombies, at least. If that's a concern.

[Not that zombies will ever come up for these guys ever HA HA HA.......]

You have statistics on this. That's worrying.

Oh well, as long as I don't have to worry about the undead, that's fine.

[Of course not! Never! They don't exist Billy!]

...Huh. When someone is brought back but they're not a zombie, can they still be called "undead"? Just saying they're "alive" makes the whole death + revival kind of disappear, even though it should be a big deal...

[Fanboys discuss the terminology of zombies, dwi]

...that's a good question. The... the re-alive just doesn't sound good.

[He's not entirely sure why he is having this conversation but he'll throw himself into it wholeheartedly.]

The ex-dead? Resurrected?

Resurrected probably works, as long as nobody gets fussy about the religious implications.

[Weirdest conversation since discussion mini-skirts with Loki.]

Does that make Jesus one of the undead?

[He has few hopes for the salvation of his eternal soul. He might as well have fun with it.]

Considering I'm Jewish, I probably shouldn't answer that.

[He's grinning, though. That is a horrifying and hilarious thought.]

Good idea. I'm not sure that's a line of thought that anyone should be following.

I might tell Teddy about Zombie Jesus, though. He'd probably get a kick out of it.

At least when I'm among the damned, I can remember that I was entertaining to a couple of superheroes from another universe.

You'd think God would have a sense of humour about this kind of thing.

A guy can hope, I guess.

This is definitely the most philosophical conversation I've had in a while.

That's the risk you take by talking with me, I guess. You've probably figured out that we're not like your average teenagers.

I might be getting that impression, yeah.

I waver between normal being overrated and normal being my idea of heaven.

Oh, good, that means you're getting used to being a super hero, then. Congratulations.

Oh, the superhero thing still gives me a headache when I try to believe it.

You do realise you've been doing it for longer than I have, right?

Oh man, don't remind me. That's probably the weirdest part about this alternate reality thing.
