[No, that's not Eminem. That's Jesse Pinkman, just two years younger but looking more like ten years younger (because the meth business will really do a number on you).]

Yo, okay. Maybe you guys can explain something to me, 'cause I been trying to be all open-minded about this shit but I'm starting to get the feeling I'm on an episode of Punk'd or something.

Help me out: If superpowers are real, how come I don't fucking got any?

I been trying, you know? Not jumping off any buildings to see if I can fly, 'cause I'm not retarded, but like... If we're in Comic Book Land now, I feel like I oughta see some evidence, yo. Where's the TK? Where's the laser eyes? Do I gotta go radioactivate my ass first? Somebody point me in the direction of the nearest toxic waste dump.

Come on, don't tell me I'm the only guy having this problem around here.

This world has the technology for rapid transportation, doesn't it? It should not be a problem if you are Registered.

Better be all-expenses-paid. Ain't got cash for a ticket all the way to ABQ.

[daimeinashi]

I do not think so. The Registered do receive a monthly stipend, however. You might want to look into the finances of your other self to see if you would have enough to cover it.

You want me to impersonate the guy?

[daimeinashi]

Why not?

It's gotta be against the law or something, right?

[Aren't they supposed to be "heroes"?]

Everyone else believes you are both the same person, which makes it perfectly legal. The only one who could stop you would be your older self, and if he returns, you won't be here any longer, so it's really a non-issue.
