[ Most of the time, Mark has no idea what's going on in the civilian world.

There's his own life, of course. His time spent with Eve, his mom, Oliver, William. There's the bowling alley and fast food meetups and comic shops and his own small group because since his senior year of high school, his civilian life has been severely whittled down to just a handful of people, and he's too young with too much of the weight of the world on his shoulders to appreciate that it should be different.

Which means, of course, he knows absolutely nothing about impending legal proceedings, the fact that he could ever sit in a courthouse, be accused of anything. He is so blatantly a good guy. Nevermind the other versions of him that caused so much destruction, he is a good guy. Look at what a good guy he's being, he just stopped a bank from being robbed, a bizarrely common occurrence that Mark doesn't question because that's just something that happens frequently. He's hovering in the air, surveying his work (three guys groaning out on the street, two broken windows, a building that's going to need a bit of plastering but is otherwise fine), waiting for the cops to arrive so they can take over the stuff he has no idea about.

Like putting people in jail, and stopping anyone else from trying anything because of the broken windows, and how to fix a couple of holes in a couple of walls. None of those are his department, and so, Mark waits.

Swears something just moved behind him? He turns around to the building behind him, tilting his head and squinting from behind his goggles, like that'll help him see better. ]


Uh, if you're here to rob this place you can try, but I already took care of all of your buddies, so...

[ Youthful, and cocky, and not entirely undeservedly so. Round four with another goon? Sure, why not. ]

[ Not all of them? Mark is looking at this guy flatly, like he can't believe he's trying to weasel his way out of his upcoming date with the cops that Mark is going to see to. He just has to swoop in, grab him, knock him out or something? Okay he hasn't thought that far ahead yet, butโ€”

But he's throwing something?? It's an instinctual reaction to flinch, even though it probably won't hurt him; especially because it isn't even aimed at him. It's all Mark can do but turn to watch the billy club's trajectory, from streetlight to railing to person, a person Mark had not noticed was there, who was not even remotely on his radar. He stares, hovering there, jaw slackened and heartbeat steady, dumbly watching as the club snaps back to his current guy.

Goon #4, who just took out Goon #5? Or maybe Current Guy just took out Goon #4, which would make himโ€” ]


I don'tโ€” Heyโ€” How did you even do that? [ Sputtering, in part because he's surprised, in part because he's a kid whose ego just took a hit and he's trying to figure out how to cope with that. ] Aren't you, like...

[ gesturing at Matt, now. Feeling a little wary of coming in any closer, like he's going to get bonked on the head. ]

... I mean, there are horns on your head, dude.

[ Isn't that kind of a universal signal for bad guy? ]

[ ... And Mark is flying.

And staring dumbly at Sarcastic Horns Guy, unsure of how he's supposed to proceed here. It's justโ€” He feels like he's being watched? Obviously he's being watched, because Mark's sense of imagination is fairly limited, but it feels like SHG is really perceiving him, in ways that Mark does not know how to interpret. Should he be feeling bad about this? He looks around from side to side, like, are there more of Angstrom's drones here, does SHG work for him, but...

Mark's hands fall to his sides, limp. ]


... What you want, I guess. Since I have no idea.

[ He doesn't think there are any drones here. He doesn't think this is a continuation of anything Angstrom has going on. SHG probably wouldn't like him? He thinks? He doesn't know, just, this feels like something else.

A beat. ]


Do you want me to come down?

[ Is his flying an issue or was SHG just being sarcastic?? Really, it feels like it could go either way at this point. ]
