Nowhere in the Book Of Rules does it say that Dick does not like bragging. He does not, as a rule, of course, especially not in regards to his own merits or accomplishments (such as they may be), but this is different.

Piper awoke with a start. She didn't know exactly what alerted her, but when she opened her eyes she found herself in an unfamiliar room. For a few seconds Piper stayed absolutely still, even shut her eyes - after all, she just might be dreaming, or hallucinating, or both ( Read more... )
