[ A random q, do you even hear yourself, Murdock. ]

Yeah, what is it?

[notthekingpin]

[yes he sounds awesome :)) ]

What's the last thing you remember, before you ended up here?

[youretheworst]

[ more like he sounds lame, ftfy ]

Uh, I guess the worst Christmas ever since Dad's in jail and you gave me that whole talk about working for you.

[notthekingpin]

Okay, good to know. Thanks.

[ :)) ]

[youretheworst]

Do I get to know why you're asking?

[ :[! ]

[notthekingpin]

It's a useful inquiry when hopping dimensions.

[youretheworst]

Oh, yeah I guess so. Timelines get weird, huh?

[ She is a pro. ]

[notthekingpin]

[yes thats why she asked this question first]

That's quite the understatement!

[youretheworst]

Yeah, well, whenever I go have lunch with J. Drew, I try to come back right before I left but it doesn't always work out, so.

[ She shrugs. Now that she knows he follows her around, she may as well not even pretend. ]

I guess it would make sense for this place to work like that.

[notthekingpin]

I'm not sure "sense" plays into it. But I guess it is something of a natural balance. Less disruptive, that way.

[youretheworst]

I've only been through the multiverse, I don't really know the theory.

[notthekingpin]

Touchy, touchy. I don't pretend to have a grasp of it, I'm only positing a theory. This is how group brainstorming works - I say something, you say something, it's a judgement-free zone as we try all kinds of ridiculous options until something makes sense.

[youretheworst]

....Right. You're totally the least-judgy guy I know.

[ He kinda is, but she's still trying to sass him here. ]

[notthekingpin]

Hey, I don't discriminate. I brought you power ups and everything.

[youretheworst]

Yeah, but do you have any here?

[notthekingpin]

Here's a better question - do you?

[youretheworst]

I have some. [ Like probably 5? ] I wouldn't be asking otherwise.

[notthekingpin]

So you lose your watch but not your power ups. Good to know.

[youretheworst]

Those are two totally different things. Guess whatever brought me here didn't care if I could use superpowers or not.

[notthekingpin]

Well there are monsters. You wouldn't want to be helpless.

[youretheworst]

Right.

[ Much as she hates to admit it. ]

I'm not helpless, anyway. It's just easier to fight with super-strength or whatever.

[notthekingpin]

Must be nice. Having superpowers.

[youretheworst]

[ oh, if only Gwen knew the irony of that sentence. ]

Yeah, having them on a super limited basis isn't really "nice."

[notthekingpin]

Who knows, maybe you'll get them back one day. That seems like a the kind of good, wholesome story people want to hear.

[youretheworst]

I wish.

[ She pauses. ]

But then I wouldn't need to be on your payroll, would I? You probably don't want me to get my powers back!
