its not their fault i have to remember that their brains work slower they can't just run and let the world fall away behind them as their minds expand to take it all in everything is just so goddamn slow slow SLOW so I run I could outpace lightning like this but I have to keep things sensible because I can't go around running back in time and causing paradoxes so i just work freelance for anyone who needs a hero because i need this to stay sane they wrapped up the package real good like I asked them to before I agreed to help them with this which is good because im not giving the asshole who ordered sameday delivery at five minutes to midnight any more excuses to make their lives more complicated I fastball it right over the fence at one minute to midnight and it sets his lawn on fire an extra good deed for him free of charge because those things are ecological catastrophes
