[This is not Kevin's house, but it's also not jail. It's a small room with white walls and some generic art on the wall behind him. He's obviously sitting at a table with long sleeves on again. He looks washed and a lot less strained than he has in a while. He even smiles crookedly for the camera.]Afternoon. I wanted t'thank everyone that came an'

Oh hey look you're out of prison. [That's Jason for hello.] And here I thought you were some kind of vanilla kid.

[A snort, but you can't ruin his good mood. Nope.]

Weren't exactly m'choice t'go t'prison. Got taken there. 'Sides, ya heard what I was charged with, righ'? Tha' excitin' enough fer ya?

If you got caught, you were sloppy. That's nothing to brag about. [But yeah, it's nice to hear someone else doesn't have the black-and-white-death-is-wrong idea.]

Didn't expect t'get jumped on by a man wearin' black thinkin' he's some sorta hero.

[Sarcastic, oh so sarcastic. And he does think death is wrong, but it was an accident. He didn't murder anyone, no matter what Batman tried to do.]

Yeah the creep is in everyone's business these days. I wouldn't call him a hero either.

Re: voice, encrypted

[southernreaper]

Didn't. Said he thought he was some sort o' hero. I done learned from real heroes, an' they don't beat on teenagers an' drag 'em t'jail.

[Implication: The X-Men are better than Batman and they sent him to jail once too.]

Re: voice, encrypted

[under_thehood]

And what do real heroes do with teenagers?

Re: voice, encrypted

[southernreaper]

[Softly.]

They taught us. Not jus' t'use our powers, but how t'live amongst a world that hated us, an' how t'be safe, even when the world was tryin' t'kill us. Not only tha', bu' they protected us, no' jus' 'cause we was their students, but 'cause it was the righ' thin' t'do.

An' then they taught us the real meanin' o' family an' friends an' what it means t'be that t'someone else.

Did they also hug you and tell you you're special?

Re: voice, encrypted

[southernreaper]

Nope. Just busted our asses harder an' pushed us t'be better, every time somethin' went bad. An' then they trusted us t'know where that line were drawn.

Re: voice, encrypted

[under_thehood]

Sure they did.

Re: voice, encrypted

[southernreaper]

If'n ya don't believe me there's others from my world here on the island. I'm sure they'd tell ya the same thin'.

Re: voice, encrypted

[under_thehood]

Oh I'm sure they will. And then they'll all end up drinking the kool-aid too. Funny how that works.

Re: voice, encrypted

[southernreaper]

Not all. Miss Frost weren't there fer a long time. Someone else o'er in that house got kicked out or somethin', and Dr. Xavier didn't live there a'tall. Didn't even agree with 'em 'bout most thin's. So there's three that ya could get info from.

I'm not concerned about your little house of happiness. I was interested in the fact you killed a guy with a touch.

Re: voice, encrypted

[southernreaper]

No I didn't. Mistaken identity.
