Up to my eyeballs in work. Crazy busy, but thinking about you. How's your day?

I've been told I'm not so innocent drunk myself. It never used to take much to get me drunk. Which one is Emma again? We both do dangerous things, and we can both get killed. I guess that takes an adjustment period too. Have you ever been really hurt doing what you do?

You're not... The marks I found on me weren't on my neck. :P It's true, though. Emma's my brother's girlfriend. She's awesome, but she says we all dress like basic bitches. LOL. That's true. It's a heavy thing to know and carry with you. No, not seriously. I mean, I've been beaten up and roughed up and shit, but not at death's door.

That is probably the first time I've actually relaxed and just had fun in a very long time, as pathetic as that is to admit. Oh hell, she's going to hate me. I've already broken bones, but I seem to have an increased rate of healing too. But then, I went in like a bull at a gate. A very big bull at a very big gate. I'm not superhero, I'm just an ordinary guy with these powers I want to use to help people if I can.

I'm glad I got to be a part of it. :) She'll get over it, because she's actually a really cool person even if she's fashion conscious. She can't judge, though. She worked in lingerie for years. That increased healing thing is handy. That's what being a superhero is, babe. It's not about thinking you're better than other people or going around throwing your powers around when they aren't needed just to show how awesome you are. It's about being a normal person inside, but with the extraordinary ability to do things that help other people, and choosing to use them for that instead of for your own gain.

At least if I did anything too nerdy or embarrassing, you don't remember it. Bonus dating points. It feels really weird. I did think I might be dying with the dizzying spells, though. Fainting is not cool. It was like "HOLD UP, COMING TO SAVE YOU - NO, WAIT, IMMA JUST FACEPLANT THE SIDEWALK INSTEAD". But that's the thing, have I ever been normal?

I remember having a great time with you and waking up next to you naked, so I think we have a pretty good record of all the awesome and we didn't have any fails committed to memory. Well, normal in the sense of you're a nice guy with a regular job who has extra powers that give you the ability to do extraordinary things. But definitely with a different background than most. You're great at what you do, and the fact that you help people is huge in itself.

The hangover wasn't so much on the awesome. Got over it way quicker than I usually do, though. I'm liking these fringe benefits of being a metahuman. Do you burn out? Doing this all the time, I mean.

[wreakinghavok]

That's always a plus at least. Some mutants have the ability to heal more quickly than others, which is really cool. You mean helping other people all the time, and having that be what my life's about. Yeah, I do. Absolutely I do. I think it's normal to do that.

I'm just not sure if it will help me if I'm really close to death. I guess if that happens, I won't be in any condition to really care about it, though. Sort of... I meant more physically burn out. That some days, it's just exhausting to always be saving people. My life wasn't about a hell of a lot before as it was.
