video } where it's covered in all the colored lights where the runaways are runnin' the night

[Dick gives a half smile and a little wave to the camera. To those who know him well, he looks a little flustered. But this has been a weird week]

Hey, everyone. Dick Grayson, here, I'm a new guy. And I've got a question. Is there any way to practice or tamp down a power that’s… kind of passive?

[There’s a light growling sound, Dick turns and raises a hand.]

Just a minute! [He looks back at the camera.] This is just getting a little--

[Before he can finish his sentence, there’s another growl and a blur of sandy colored fur tackles Dick. A very large blur of sandy colored fur. It is, in fact, a lion. But he’s not trying to hurt Dick. He’s just licking his face and looking very happy with himself. Dick laughs and rubs the lion’s face, then looks upside-down at the camera.]

This is the second time Chewie’s escaped from the zoo and followed me home. I’m pretty sure the neighbors are gonna start complaining soon. So, any thoughts?

[Sorry residents of Nonah #004, this is happening in your living room.]

It was at first. I had a hard time getting used to the idea that nobody was keeping score and there wasn't a way to reset or save-scum.

But then, normal is relative, and I dare you to find him on my family tree.

Weeelll, I can reset. Kind of. In terms of damage taken anyway.

But yeah. Did you know you were in VR?

The most normal relative of mine that I've met is Abuela and she had demon chickens in her backyard so I feel that, man.

I mean going back to the last save point type reset. Being able to do things over and differently. That's a lot harder to do in real life.

And yeah, I knew it was a computer world, I just didn't have much experience because of the way I grew up fast.

[A pause, but really, he has to ask.]

When you say demon chickens, were they like scaly or firebreathing or what?

How'd you grow up fast?

[ Marco laughs at the question, but then his face gets serious. ]

No. They were just mean.

[ The next phrase is in Spanish. ]

The devil's chickens.

It was a powers thing. I've had superspeed since birth. And since it requires control, and kids aren't known for that...well, a computer was pretty much the only thing that could keep up.

[He can't help grinning at the spanish.]

Ah, see, I have to ask, because demons really are a thing. So are gods and angels.

Oooh, yeah, that would do it. Don't want to run into somebody and just vaporize them.

On the other hand, high five for the 'never have to buy bus fare' club!

[ Honestly, Marco's Spanish is mostly crap, but he doesn't shy away from it. ]

I believe you. And I'm not saying they weren't possessed.

...

If angels are real, if I met one punching it would be bad, right?

Depends on the angel, some of them are total jerks. Demons and half-demons are usually better company.

I just don't think that the God I went to church for as a kid would let something like our lives happen, so something's screwy there.

Plus every omnipotent-type being I've met has been a dick.

Dude, anyone can be a dick. But I've met some gods that were pretty amazing.

...Troia definitely was. Is.

Oh, not arguing. Dickhood is unbound by species or ability level. See: geese.

I mean God- capital G.

Good for you, though.

You meet enough little-G gods, that makes it hard to believe in a single transcendent being. But I'll keep hoping something about the multiverse will actually make sense.

So what? Independent contractor angels? 1099 angels? And sure, that's why I'm an atheist now. Not like we kept going after Mom's 'death' anyway.

[ Marco laughs; the idea is absurd, but what isn't? ]

I've only met 2, but they were both dicks.

Believe me, coming back from the dead is even worse.

I don't know, they just claimed to be angels, and it's kinda stupid to keep arguing with people who don't budge.

Well, she wasn't dead. The alien parasite in her brain faked her death so she could go command the takeovers of other planets. Although I've died. I don't really remember anything. I just sort of... stopped.

And see, I'm saying that with a straight face. What are our lives?

Yeah. Point there.

Well, being pulled to the shambling undead side of a zombie apocalypse was definitely unpleasant. But my grandpa managed to fix that part.

I wasn't that kind of zombie. Actually, I was mostly just shoved out of the driver's seat while something else took over.

I try not to judge based on powers. Like I said, I've know some pretty cool demons.

No. Fuck body snatchers.

There was a body-jumper on the Titans, but he was before my time. Not his fault that's what he got stuck with.

[Although Bart isn't too keen on the fact that he isn't sure whether it was Jericho or Deathstroke who made the decision to shoot his knee out.]

But tradition says once a Titan, always a Titan, so...
