Soooo, this always happens. There's some disaster, then there's a block of nothing, then somebody says they're bored and some morons jump down their throat for tempting fate and then the next disaster rolls in totally regardless of who said what.

It's been almost a week, and you know what? I'm gonna be that somebody. I'm bored. So when the next

I'm glad to hear that.

It's still not intrusive.

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

Except for how it totally is.

Kind of weird how you went straight to lecturing me about seeking medical attention without asking me about the circumstances under which I got swarmed by those creeps, by the way.

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

The worry distracted me.

What happened then?

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

I broke Nygma out of a cellar full of them. Tim needed someone with firepower to smash down the door, so. While I was there.

Probably saved his stupid life. [SO NONCHALANT.]

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

[That nonchalance is probably slowly killing him.]

It would seem to be like you actually did save his life.

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

[And she'll just cc you in on his totally awesome expression of gratitude.]

If I'd just stepped back, Tim would have gotten into it by himself anyway and guilted me about it afterward. Not worth it.

You don't always have to make excuses why you do something good, you know.

Re: Private

It's not an excuse, it's a reason. If I'd just tripped over that door and known it was him and nobody else had been around? I wouldn't have even slowed down.

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

I feel like if you really didn't care, not even Tim's opinion would've influenced you.

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

It wasn't Tim's opinion I was worried about, it was the fact he'd have gotten a limb chewed off if I hadn't been there to split the work. And I think you know that.

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

So Eddie benefited from you saving Tim's dumb life?

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

He wouldn't have died. Tim, I mean. But - yeah, if that's how you wanna put it.

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

You wouldn't have said that you saved his life if you didn't want me to know about it. So yeah, I'll put it that way.

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

Okay.

...

Kirk. Do you --

Never mind.

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

What?

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

Do you think I'll ever graduate?
