Well, at least they were letting him sit up today. His parents had stepped out for coffee, which left Steve watching TV.

	"I hope you can go back to it soon. We always need as many good people as possible fighting against evil." He smiles hopefully through the mask. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Enough of a change in voice that Steve can tell. "Looks like you're off to a good start yourself," Steve said. "You should swing by the mansion sometime. ...Er, no pun intended." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The pun goes past him in light of the invitation. "You... you mean it? Here? This is... I mean, this is where the AVENGERS are. SERIOUS heroes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure, dude," Steve said. "You saved my ass. Why shouldn't you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2010-06-27 03:24 am UTC (link)
	He goes quiet for a few moments. "Just... nobody's ever invited me anywhere before. Except the person I live with." ~~Guardian~~ Jack is a little choked up at the moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...Really? That's all kinds of messed up, dude." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2010-06-27 04:03 am UTC (link)
	"Well, it's not like anyone's been being MEAN to me... I just don't really have anyone who would invite me anywhere to begin with." He tries explaining, rubbing the back of his head. "I don't really know who I am, so I don't remember much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-06-27 04:13 pm UTC (link)
	"...Whoa. That's... whoa. Sorry, man." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2010-06-27 06:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Thanks..." His fingers fidget as he folds his hands in his lap. "All I really know for sure is that I'm supposed to be using my powers to help people. So you can get what a big deal it is to get invited to come here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Heh. I think we all felt that way when we made it to the big leagues." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2010-06-27 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah well, I haven't quite made it yet. I'm just a street-level type guy." He shrugs and sighs. "Who keeps getting mistaken for Spider-Man." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-06-27 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Well... you do kinda look like him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2010-06-28 12:32 am UTC (link)
	"I know that! I just don't know WHY." He throws up his arms in mild exasperation. "Powers came on, costume appeared, and I get 'Hey Spidey!' about five times a day now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-06-28 01:20 am UTC (link)
	"...Weird," Steve said. "The costume appearing thing, that is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2010-06-28 02:14 am UTC (link)
	"Tell me about it. I mean, I wish I could figure out the whole... memories thing, but the powers are weird enough that I wonder if knowing who I am would just make things worse." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-06-28 02:24 am UTC (link)
	"What, you think maybe you're a clone or something?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2010-06-28 02:41 am UTC (link)
	"....that's a possibility?" He's so stunned that something happened that had never happened before. His mask disappeared, but the rest of the costume stayed behind. "I... I just figured that when people with superpowers have amnesia, it's for a reason... I... I..." If he weren't already sitting, he'd need to now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-06-28 02:45 am UTC (link)
	"Clones? Absolut..." Steve trailed off as he saw the effect it had on the Guardian. "I... crap. Sorry, dude. Shoulda kept my mouth shut." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2010-06-28 03:06 am UTC (link)
	"I... no, it's not your fault. I should think about every possibility." He rubs his forehead. "It's just... why haven't I thought of that already?" He winces. "It's like every time I try to figure out 'me' stuff... something in my head keeps wanting to think about something else. Like going on patrol. Or talking to reporters." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-06-28 03:13 am UTC (link)
	Steve frowned. "That... kinda sounds like programming to me. Brainwashing or something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2010-06-28 03:18 am UTC (link)
	Jack furrows his brow. "But... why would anyone brainwash me? I'm not important. I'm just some stupid kid trying to be a crime-fighter." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-06-28 03:23 am UTC (link)
	"Beats me, man," Steve said. "Wish I had more advice for ya." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2010-06-28 04:03 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, well... I wish you did too." He pauses, clearing his throat, not quite sure what to say. "Well... this is awkward." He reaches up to scratch his nose. Wait... nose? OH SWEET CHRISTMAS, NOSE! The mask reappears, Jack clutching his face nervously. "Oh no! You saw my secret identity!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-06-28 04:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Dude, I have no idea who you are." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2010-06-28 06:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh... well, yeah, I guess you wouldn't." He manages to calm back down. Hesitating for a moment, he takes a breath and relaxes, changing into street clothes. "So... what's getting shot feel like? I've only been hit a lot and stabbed before." A pause. "And hit by a truck, but that was pretty much a glancing blow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
