I won't do it, Hart. I'd do it for you but I can't. I'm not a killer and Reverb knows it. He's not going to let this go.

Hey, she's pretty damn talented. I can't draw like that.

Nah, working. Just me. How you doing?

[mostlyajerk]

I know, Axel. You don't have to do it. I'm a killer.

It's true, you need a gift for that. You can tell her that I think she's amazing.

Oh, great. I'm working too.

[trickedya]

I'm now effectively sending you out to do it. It's a horrible circle. I hate it.

I did. She says she loves you so much. So does Josh but I don't think he remembers who you are, he just wants to be part of the moment.

I would ask more questions but I don't know how much I want answers.

[mostlyajerk]

It's just Reverb's game, Axel. It's not yours. He's sending me, he knows that's what happening. He might scold me for taking your work or reward me for doing a good job and both is equally creepy, but neither has anything to do with you.

I don't think Jerrie really remembers who I am either, but she and Josh are sweet as always. What are you having for dinner?

I'll make it quick. No cruelty in your name, however indirect. Promise.

[trickedya]

He's such a petty little psycho. I hate him so much. More than I have Wells and Zoom.

She remembers you. Babbles about you a lot. Her big brother with the glasses and poorly ears. I'm attempting to cook so odds are, we're eating whatever Mark bings in.

Remember when we used to just talk about normal stuff? Films? TV? Music?

[mostlyajerk]

He makes it more personal. And he doesn't like me. Or he does like me. I don't think he's decided. But I don't hate anyone more than Wells. Then Zoom.

That's sweet. She's so big now. Mark's so lucky, come home to get your burnt dinner. Luckily he knows what he's in for.

Vaguely. I remember when normal stuff used to matter. I remember talking about boys back in school and I thought that was the worst.

[trickedya]

Zoom then Wells for me. I know Wells fucked up my life but Zoom made me a mercenary. That pisses me off way more.

He never expected skill when he proposed to me, he expected an idiot rich boy who's scared of the kitchen. And I am. It's terrifying.

We were so young once. Now we're all old and grumpy and evil.

[mostlyajerk]

It's a trifecta of hatred, hard to decide. If I get pinned to a wall by Reverb again tonight, I might change my mind.

Who are you telling that? Most I can make is poptarts. You're just lucky Mark sees other qualities in you.

You're not evil, Ax. And I told you, I'll get you all out of here. I will.

[trickedya]

Kick his ass. I mean we both know how hard to can throw a punch so just go at him. That whole God bullshit is all a show. He doesn't have the balls to use it.

I can make poptarts, toaster waffles and cup noodles. That's my ace in the hole, you know? Quick and easy.

I'm not good either. It's cool. As long as I keep my family happy.

[mostlyajerk]

If I got the drop on him, I probably could. But what then? I'm not exactly looking to rise through the ranks here.

I make cereal. For a healthy start in the day.

You'll be free of all this. Safe.

[trickedya]

I guess keeping alive is better than picking a fight. Unfortunately.

I started doing that too. Jerrie has her cereal a very specific way. Milk first.

You still make such pretty promises <3

[mostlyajerk]

Yes, better to bow my head and kneel in front of the great and mighty Reverb. Shorty.

I do too. I like to keep it non-soggy.

I mean it.

[trickedya]

He's so tiny. Adorable. Someone should tell him.

You guys are just weird.

I trust you.

[mostlyajerk]

I will tell him, don't think I won't.

I have to go. Have fun with your family!

[trickedya]

FINE!

Thank you again. You saved my ass <3

[mostlyajerk]

Always. <3
