That hurts. I should work on that. Maybe I should sign up for acting class. Would that be suspicious? Maybe a little weird.
No, it wouldn't work, it'd probably involve actually acting. In front of people. Reading lines. That's not a picture that ends well. Less rose-throwing, more of the tomatoes.
...actually, the decent comment stings as well. I've beat up plenty of supervillains. With powers. I mean, when I had powers. They did, too.
(Yes, I was just bemoaning that I could be better. That doesn't mean I want to hear it from this guy. Who does he even think he is, some kind of drill sergeant?)
(...oh, right, yeah.)
"Couldn't... everyone?" I say, edging up a little. I honestly have no idea how to play this. Complete loss. I'm just saying words to be saying words, and that's no strategy at all.
