reboot: Voice

[deadbythename]

 [ The voice speaking doesn't exactly match the 15 year old kid who's usually talking.  It's gruffer and more sardonic than the kid's ever was. ]

Guess it's my lucky day.  Got dropped right back in here with all my memories intact.

[ Most of them anyway.  He's fuzzy on a whole lot and trying to sort through all this new shit makes his head hurt, but he won't let on to it.  He considers reaching out for a minute, maybe trying to address a few people from those memories who might still be there.  He doesn't. ]

Since I'm here, might as well do something I've never done before.  Where can a guy get a decent drink in this shithole?

[ Huh. Huh. He rolls all that over in his mind and considers asking about the fourth time. Thinks about trying to say something that might be... What? Comforting? ]

Sounds like you're one of the heavy hitters in your world.

You'd be mistaken. Don't have a lot of raw power, just the training to compensate.

[ 'Raw power' being the ability to level sizable chunks of planets in no time at all. Also having the power cosmic. ]

[ He shrugs. ]

Sometimes the training can make all the difference. There's guys on my world who've got nothing goin' for them except knowing how to fight and they keep up with some of the strongest beings in the universe.

[ Which makes him frown. Even if he can acknowledge the fact that what Bruce and Dick do are amazing ("I love to watch you work."), it still sits strangely. ]

Never said I couldn't keep up. Just not who they call in when you want the 'big guns'. Leave that to people like Rider and the Silver Surfer.
