It’s a good thing I left you in charge.

“ Nice! How’d you overcome it? ”

Hey, a win’s a win. I’m just glad you made everyone in the tower behave.

Confused expression. “ Wait, like actually? I thought you meant like, a rumor — jeez, you okay? ” He’s a terrible big brother.

You’re always so thoughtful.

“ Talking. . to Punchline? Huh. Why’d you go and do that for? ” Cue the head scratch. “ How’s Bart doin’ anyways? ”

C’mon, you know you’re the greatest.

And how could I ever compare to you?

Coming back to a behaved tower and compliments from my favorite person. How could I ever repay you?

“ Taking advantage of kindness is something these bad guys live for. Just gotta be more careful. Slap some cuffs on them before you go Bob Ross’ing them. ” A terrible attempt at a joke. He sighs. “ That’s good. I’ll check in with him when I can. ”

Done. Though. . I haven’t been home in some time. Might have to see if everyone’s up to par.

“ Don’t beat yourself up over it too much. Maybe you’ll get through one of these days. ” He cracks a smile, placing a hand on his shoulder. “ You got it, bud. Just promise me you’ll be more careful. Okay? ”

Fun? I thought you hated sparring with me.

I can’t help it that you’re stronger than me. But what I can do is ask you to dinner.

You know me too well. We could use a bit of catching up too. Eager to hear how you kept everyone in check.

Finally got around to seeing those Tibetan Monks Bruce was telling me about.

Oh, it was. Picked up some neat tricks, too.

Of course. We can start with something simple. Try reading my mind.

It’s almost like you read my mind. I can get us a reservation at Carlini’s.

Sounds perfect. Pick you up tonight?
