What did you mean then?

[goldtoxicity]

i may have sent a tape into some HGTV home makeover show asking for a free renno??

[helpdesk_hero]

I don't... Josh, why?

[goldtoxicity]

reasons

[helpdesk_hero]

Did you tell them we're both imPorts?

[goldtoxicity]

david im gold
i think they got that i was an import

[helpdesk_hero]

Did you tell them we're both imPorts? I've managed to keep my head down, Josh.

[goldtoxicity]

i might have mentioned it??

[helpdesk_hero]

Of course you did. Fine. Whatever. I'll live with it. They probably won't say yes.

[goldtoxicity]

ok but like
david
realtalk
your powers are good
your knowledge is good
were finally in a place where people arent terrified of us everywhere
why not embrace it

[helpdesk_hero]

My powers are theft and not useful as a hero here.

[goldtoxicity]

your powers arent theft and you were pretty consistently the most useful person on our team

[helpdesk_hero]

WAS, Josh. When my powers were different.

[goldtoxicity]

when you didnt even HAVE powers david

[helpdesk_hero]

They didn't WANT me when I didn't have powers, Josh.

[goldtoxicity]

yeah
and look where that got them

[helpdesk_hero]

And that's getting into things I don't wanna discuss, Josh. I get that I'm not meant to be front line. I was reminded of that recently.

[goldtoxicity]

look all im saying is this isnt home
we arent xmen
our powers are ours to use and only ours
i just wish you werent so afraid of them

[helpdesk_hero]

Why wouldn't I be afraid of my powers, Josh? You know what I can do. Effectively I'm a thief.

[goldtoxicity]

no a thief would be taking something from someone
youre copying
youre afraid of you powers because miss frost is kind of a witch and plays headgames with people
and you wouldnt BE that guy because you have that fear
so yeah maybe thats a good thing
but she made you absolutely terrified

[helpdesk_hero]

Yeah, but it wasn't just Emma that did it. It was Dani too, and headgames, while her power, wasn't her style.

[goldtoxicity]

[ that's not a name that's familiar to him at all. josh squints and tries to place a dani, coming up completely empty. david clearly has told him this part of the story before. ]

who?

[helpdesk_hero]

Dani Moonstar?

[goldtoxicity]

[ he... frowns. that's not a name he recognizes, but he's not here to do a play by play of all the ways emma took advantage of other people's powers for her own goals. right? right. ]

look ive seen just how far miss frost is willing to go to get her way dude
she does what she thinks is best for everyone and everyone else is just along for the ride
im not saying your dont have the capacity for evil but you have a way greater capacity for good

[helpdesk_hero]

THEIR way was to tell me that my brain was blocking it all for a reason, Josh.
