I doubt my opinion will change in six months, Misty.

[mysterioisthetruth]

What? You're not going to end up admiring me or pushing me into the negatives like David?

How am I supposed to gain any notice or break any records with a zero?

[He's leaning hard into the negativity now. Better to be known in a bad way than to be ignored.]

[hatestrashcans]

You're not the worst person I've met and you're human, so no negative points.

And you're a tactical idiot, why would I admire you?

[mysterioisthetruth]

You know, my tactics worked fine back in my own world but maybe people were just more gullible there... More ready to believe.

Who is the worst person you've met?

[hatestrashcans]

No, the stupid part was confessing and then doing the same thing. The situational tactics.

The slug in my Mom's head.

[mysterioisthetruth]

There are real monsters in this world, kid. One day, I will warn people and they won't believe me and then they will pay for their lack of faith.

That sounds... disgusting.

[hatestrashcans]

So what you're saying is your Mom didn't read you 'the Boy who Cried Wolf' enough? Because hint: The people aren't the bad guy there.

She was. We squished her and she's dead.

[mysterioisthetruth]

... I never knew my mother. She died when I was a baby.

[hatestrashcans]

Then dad? Parental figure? Television? Whoever raised you.

And you know that's not an excuse. Bird-Boy never went evil.

[ He's not judging. ]

[mysterioisthetruth]

I don't want to talk about my father.

[Clearly, that's an issue. He's tensed greatly.]

[hatestrashcans]

Okay, don't. Fuck him.

[mysterioisthetruth]

[He winces.]

You think it's just that easy, don't you?

Say a quip and brush it off.

But some things just live with you. They become your entire being until you can rise above it.

[hatestrashcans]

I think it's joke about it or let it choke you to death and drag you down until you kill yourself.

I haven't had a full night's sleep in over 4 years. If you think I, of all people, don't get that things stick with you, you're dumber than I thought.

[mysterioisthetruth]

[His problem is he hasn't let go of his father's actions - or lack thereof - and opinion of him. It dictates almost his every move.]

I'm not one for jokes...

[hatestrashcans]

I noticed.

You need some coping mechanisms, man.

[mysterioisthetruth]

And what would you suggest?

[hatestrashcans]

Honestly? There are people looking for sparring partners. Use your tech to make them look like your dad and beat the hell out of him.

Or write down your feelings.

Honestly? Without knowing why you hate him so much, I don't know, but you obviously have a thing about people not liking or trusting you, so coping mechanisms where you lie aren't doing you any favors.

[mysterioisthetruth]

You need to stop pretending. You don't really want to help me. You've done your best to hinder me and spy on me.

[hatestrashcans]

I want you to stop screwing with Peter and stop fucking up cities.

Getting you to stop voluntarily accomplishes that goal just as much as forcing you not to.

[mysterioisthetruth]

You've already got your wish. Peter is gone.

[hatestrashcans]

Doesn't mean he'll stay that way.

He's attached to you.

Because he's a moron, but still.

[mysterioisthetruth]

You should have left us alone. You and David both.

[hatestrashcans]

For Peter's sake or yours?

Look, if your mental stability depends on getting what you want all the time and not dealing with the world, then you have no right to lecture me on maturity, because that's how a toddler sees the world.

[mysterioisthetruth]

I could have helped him. We could have helped each other and we were making progress but all of you had to interfere. Now, he's walked out and if something happens to him - like another friend pushing him into traffic like that Murphy kid - them I'm blaming you and everyone else who was involved in turning him against me.

[So not blaming himself, even when it was his own fault.]

[hatestrashcans]

Yeah, it'll be partially our fault. And partially yours. Which is sort of your problem. You're never wrong, are you? How the hell do you develop any tech when you won't let yourself be wrong? I'm surprised nothing's exploded in your face.

And what's that about traffic?
