[Steve is, for once, in his rooms, with a file somewhere nearby.]

Did you like it for the fighting, or because you were helping people?

[diedinnewyork]

I like fucking fighting.

[such lies. Or at least, he doesn't understand it and recognize the feeling yet.]

Nothing better then killin' shit. It's what man was made to do.

[thestarspangledman]

....No. It's not.

[The Comedian stares at him, and folds his hands across his knees, and then stares some more.]

We're animals kid. That's all there is to it.

[thestarspangledman]

We're a little more complex than that, I think.

[diedinnewyork]

You so fucking sure about that pointdexter? Everybody on this boat wants to fucking kill me for what I did to that guy and that girl.

For a place that is supposed to be about redemption, they seem to be awfully angry. I could offer excuses. You've seen my file. You know my history.

At the very least I could have said that I feared this was a Veidt compound and I was afraid for my life but none of them seem to think that matters. Or cares.

[thestarspangledman]

Maybe they're not used to friends getting killed the moment someone else arrives.

I wouldn't like it much either, to be honest, but I only got here a few days ahead of you.

[diedinnewyork]

...From where? when?

[thestarspangledman]

They told me it was 2011. It was right after I'd, uh, woken up.

[diedinnewyork]

...So wait, you woke up-in the future. What is this like some kind of Doctor Manhattan kind of thing?

[He always figured that Manhattan could travel into the future] Woke up from what, son. You can't keep hesitating like that.

I was frozen in the Arctic. I crashed a plane there in order to stop it bombing New York.
