[This is an audio click--SMACK!!] What the fuck was that for-- [SMACK!!]

Take it like a man.

[Some rustling noises.]

Motherfucker I'm trying to...shit it's on.

[Actually spoken into the device.] Everything's cool. Pink's a son of a bitch.

[Then a click off.]

You've never heard of it 'cause he's never been published. It's a hobby, but trust me, he's really fucking good at it.

[orangetoughguy]

Did he ever draw you?

[neverplay]

He used me as a model, yeah.

[orangetoughguy]

That's pretty badass, kid.

[neverplay]

Hell yeah.

Not many people can say they've been a superhero. He always did it right too. The fighting. The weapons.

[orangetoughguy]

What, did you research and consult for your old man?

[neverplay]

Me? Nah, he taught me everything I know.

He used to be a cop. Knew his stuff and more.

[orangetoughguy]

A cop huh? Taught you everything he knew too?

[neverplay]

Not everything. He wouldn't let me touch his weapons, obviously. But he told me all about them and shared old stories, not the boring kind.

[orangetoughguy]

Your dad sounds like a pretty cool guy. My dad fixes cars.

[neverplay]

He was.

Did he teach you about them?

[orangetoughguy]

Oh yeah, I mean when you're a dad with two boys you wouldn't let'em just lie around all day huh? We got to learn about cars, dad got cheap labor.

[neverplay]

Hey, it's a useful skill. Too bad finding a car here's like winning a scratch card.

[orangetoughguy]

It ain't as hard as you think but it takes a lot of work keepin'em in check.

[neverplay]

Yeah? You got one?

[orangetoughguy]

Me? Naw. [Yes.] I'm working on putting a bike together though.

[neverplay]

Tell me when you finish it.
