fair enough
if you come at me ill make you work for it

[The implication, unspoken, that Apollo will win.]

hoping you wont
not planning on coming for you
or getting in your business
your life is yours
obviously pretty fucking different than mine
none of my business

[solarcharged]

Jesus Christ, I'm not going to come at you.

[ Yeah 'none of my business' except wait hang on guess what it kind of is and the door swings both ways. ]

I know you said you don't want to find out more about us but if you change your mind then you know where I am. I might have a few questions of my own.

I'm not going to ask them unless you're ready to answer them.

[thingpuncher]

oh for fucks sake
just spill it already andrew

[solarcharged]

Yes. That. "Andrew"?

[ question #1 ]

[thingpuncher]

what you prefer andy in this universe

[solarcharged]

No, I prefer my actual name. I've never heard of any of us being called "Andrew" before.

[thingpuncher]

apollo
shit
i talked to this weird kid that said you didnt remember anything

[solarcharged]

There are a few weird kids on board.

So your Apollo regained his memories?

[thingpuncher]

if ur digging i dont know anything about them
didnt use their real name

not regained
never lost
why would you they didnt do any brainwork on you
what the fuck happened

[solarcharged]

Bendix happened. Didn't he?

[thingpuncher]

well yeah
guess where your from he took your memory just for kicks

[solarcharged]

Not really. When we became Apollo and the Midnighter we lost everything to do with our old lives. Including our memories.

Does Andrew have a surname?

[thingpuncher]

[There's that 'we' again. He has nothing to say to it, so he doesn't.]

pulaski
nerd from pa obsessed with greek mythology and japanese art and russian cooking
shitty taste in cologne
thinks opal city is the best fucking place on earth

[solarcharged]

[ squints ]

...Are you sure he's an Apollo?

[thingpuncher]

im not arguing credentials with you

[solarcharged]

No, I know, I'm just struggling to see it.

[ Or feel it. It's like Midnighter is describing an entirely different person. ]

So how did he get his powers?

[thingpuncher]

same as me

why are you called apollo then

[solarcharged]

It came with the gig. I didn't choose it.

So why did you lose your memory but he didn't?

[thingpuncher]

oh
he did
he has this whole story about it and everything
shit thats weird

not totally sure
but if i had to take a guess
because somebody put a computer in my fucking brain

[solarcharged]

[ UH watch the tone, junior. ]

And? Somebody turned his brain in to the powerhouse of a laser cannon.

Does he remember it? The surgery?

[thingpuncher]

of course he fucking
wait shit
you don't??
motherfucker

[solarcharged]

No. All I remember is being Apollo. Not 'Andrew Pulaski'.

This is going to sound like a strange question but... was he human? Before he became Apollo.

[thingpuncher]

and your midnighter? he doesn't remember that shit either?
you lucky shitheads

yeah he was human
metahuman now but that still counts
according to some people

[solarcharged]

No. Neither of us remember anything from before.

You mentioned Krypton on the network. What do you know about people who come from that planet?

[thingpuncher]

oh this
i always figured bendix was trying to make a superman substitute with you/him
i was a side project u were the main feature
kryptonians are strong as shit what psycho genius wouldnt want one
i mean even luthor made a super suit mech thing
dont ask me about that i try to go to metropolis as little as fucking possible

anyway with your fucked up memory i guess itd make sense to wonder if you were one
and who fucking knows maybe in your universe you are
do u have ice breath?
can u see thru walls?
allergic to kryptonite?
