[ So here's Jesse and Collette, grinning stupidly at the camera and looking like they've got a plan up their sleeves. Jesse's the first to speak, rubbing his hands together excitedly: ]

Okay, so like... I heard there's superheroes here. Like real, bona fide superheroes. Costumes and everything. And, like, where I come from, you know, we don’t really got superheroes except in stories. So we were thinking it'd be real cool...

[ Collette glances at Jesse, then to the camera. She blurts out something that surely will never ever cause immense embarrassment once she learns the extent of the super heroes she's been around (discounting Barnaby and Kotetsu, who are weird anyway): ]

... If we could meet a few of you in person, and maybe even get an autograph!

You think Sternbild is weird, but that's all pretty crazy to me!

[Then again, his idea of vigilante justice has been colored by Lunatic executing criminals in the streets.]

If the Heroes don't answer to the system, I wonder how they sort out who pays the damage fines...

[whatsupcroc]

You know, they never did get around to explaining that in any of the movies... or the comics.

( And in more personal terms... )

Sounds like seeing your tax dollars be put to work, if you ask me.

[sidecar]

More reasons for the people to be pissed off at Heroes, huh? I don't think I'd wanna deal with that.

[whatsupcroc]

It's a bummer when even while you help people, you can't do anything right, huh?

[sidecar]

I guess it can feel like that sometimes. But as long as we've done our job then little stuff like that really doesn't matter.

[whatsupcroc]

Mmm! "Done our job." That's the part where we sacrifice everything, right?

[sidecar]

[Whoa, dark.]

What makes you say that?

[whatsupcroc]

( Experience.

But she doesn't say that so much as wave off the question. )

One too many war movies, that's all!

[sidecar]

[Huh. He chalks it up to not always understanding Collette's sense of humor.]

I'm more of a happy endings guy, myself.

[whatsupcroc]

Yeah. Me too! Guess I need to switch up my viewing materials all over again.
