[Billy sits on his sofa with a beer in one hand and an ice pack pressed to his arm in the other. He has a few minor bruises on his face and the upper part of his arms. He also looks quite embarrassed.]

Told 'em not to publish my name, for god's sake.

Must've been a slow news day or something.

[He sighs heavily and turns off the NV.]

You're like a hero. Good going.

[m0therlove]

Thanks... it wasn't a big deal. Anybody would have done the same.

[madeinoblivion]

That guy...where did he get ideas like that, about the core?

[m0therlove]

I don't know. But he was a fucking nutjob, though. I didn't listen to anything he was saying. [Because he was busy beating the shit out of him in front of a bunch of five-year-olds.]

[madeinoblivion]

Yeah...

I don't know. It's...really strange. Lucky you saved those kids.

[m0therlove]

Yeah. I kind of just... snapped on him.

Hope that doesn't come up on my annual review.

[madeinoblivion]

If anything, saving kids should be a point in your favor. You should get a bonus!

[m0therlove]

Heh. Well, okay. I could go for that.

[madeinoblivion]

You shouldn't be surprised. It's good that good things get on the news, you know? It makes for a good story...

[m0therlove]

Guess it's better than the rest of the news lately.

[madeinoblivion]

Kids dying in pools...yeah.

[m0therlove]

[He changes the subject pretty abruptly.]

This place is a shithole.

[madeinoblivion]

In some places.

...It was just because the kid had powers.

[m0therlove]

What kid?

[madeinoblivion]

From the news. In the swimming pool...

[m0therlove]

Not his fault. It's just bullshit he has to live with something like that at that age.
