Even before he got sick, Sean had enjoyed reading. His teachers had always said that he read 'ahead of his age group', but he figured that was just because he read more than most kids his age did. He liked everything: fantasy, science fiction, biographies, journal articles... There was just something satisfying about holding a book--something

"Not too bad..." Porky said slowly, "Considering the circumstances, of course."
What was he trying to do? It was obvious that Scott was playing dumb, but the real question was why? Was he trying to lull Porky into a false sense of security? Perhaps he was keeping quiet so Porky might be tempted to fill the silence with something incriminating. Or maybe he was just sitting there...waiting for the silence to get to Porky...waiting for Porky to cave in to all the pressure that Scott had piled up onto him...waiting for Porky to realize the sheer hopelessness of going up against such an undoubtedly well-informed foe.
Then again...maybe he was just actually dumb.
Suddenly, an idea struck! Perhaps was just some guy from Eagleland that recognized Porky in his old age. It wasn't like he looked too different from when he was just a kid. After all, the Phase Distorter had frozen him in his current form. With a deep breath, Porky took a risk and began to speak.
"So..." he said casually, "How exactly did you know my nickname, anyway? I don't believe we've ever met."

Who did this little shit think he is? 'That's for me to know and you to find out?' Did he think Porky was afraid of him?! Some little runt that had barely learned to walk wasn't about to order Porky around and make him look like a damn fool! Porky was 10,000 years old (give or take), dammit!
"Now listen here, you punk," Porky said, whispering hurriedly and angrily, "You're going to tell me how you know who I am! I'm sure that you know just how dangerous I can be if you get on my bad side, and you wouldn't want that, would you?"
Porky began to sweat. There was no way that this kid would back down after such a weak threat, even if he did know about Porky's prime. He would have to up the ante a little...but how?
"And, uh..." Porky said, pausing for a moment, "T-That's not all! I...I have PSI now! I can snap your brain in half just like that if I want to! Y-You'd better tell me who you are!"
