[intrntl_superassassin]

Wait. ...Me specifically?

[dennis_murdoc]

"So. You're saying I should take more naps?"

[magnet_girl]

Yes. You specifically.

[magnet_girl]

Clearly that's what I'm saying.

[dennis_murdoc]

"I hate taking naps."

[magnet_girl]

No one hates taking naps.

[dennis_murdoc]

"I take it you don't know very many three-year-olds."

[magnet_girl]

I personally wouldn't count any as friends. No.

[dennis_murdoc]

"You're missing out. Little kids have the best minds, innocent, yet twisted," he laughs. "So. Change...the world changing. Are you for or against?"

[magnet_girl]

Hard pass. I'm shit with kids.

I'm still waiting to see. On one hand 'The Devil You know'... but then again whatever is thrown at me, it cant be any worse than what ive been dealing with the last few years.

[dennis_murdoc]

"Fair enough, but that's not their fault."

He considers, then shrugs.

"Life's tough. I'll be nice and not throw cliches at you."

[candysgirl]

What’s happened? How long have I been out?

[magnet_girl]

My Father made a speech to the leaders of the world's government.

Every time he does that, shit hits the fan. It means he's done pretending to be a good guy.

[candysgirl]

Oh... well. What should be done?

[magnet_girl]

Probably exactly what he's going to do... except he'll do it in the most inflammatory way possible.

[candysgirl]

Are you going to be alright?

[magnet_girl]

Define alright.

[candysgirl]

I’m not sure, really. I want to help you, I don’t if this is very upsetting to you and if you need friend support, or if you’re indifferent, or anything in between.

[magnet_girl]

I just...
I'm tired Cassie. I'm tired of people trying to kill me, tired of people thinking I'm going to follow in my Father's footsteps, tired of thinking I should follow in his footsteps because he's doing things that need to be done and I'm angry at myself that I can't seem to figure out how to at least be as strong and competent as he is.

Somehow I missed this

[candysgirl]

“You are not him” Cassie says, after a brief silence. “You are strong and competent, but in different ways. You have your own strengths and weaknesses, and experiences. I know I’m not the world, but I’m happy with who I know Lorna to be”
