[Accidental Video]

[schrodingersghost]

[The video clicks on, showing Danny's room late at night.  More specifically, showing an empty room at a time of might that you would expect any normal teenager to be sleeping.  It remains like that for a few seconds.  Suddenly there is a bright flash of light coming from just outside the window.  And then Danny appears crawling in through the window.  He winces slightly as he finally makes it inside.  The teen's whole posture seems to be slumped with absolute exhaustion.]

...Great.  School is going to be fun tomorrow.  I can already tell.  [The teen rubs tentatively at his shoulder and scowls as he catalogs his injuries.  He limps over to his bed and starts fishing under his bed, finally retrieving a small box filled with bandages.]

This sucks.   I so need a vacation.  Do superheroes get vacations?  Non-working ones, I mean.  [He trails off into soft grumbling as he keeps working on patching himself up.]

Dunno, I was outta school for years before I even got in the business. ... Not a great night, I take it.

[he's sitting at his workbench, idly tinkering with a piece of the Mark 6]

[Danny jerks at the unexpected voice and falls off the bed with a loud crash.]

[rockstark]

[SO CASUAL]

Your feed's on, by the way.

[schrodingersghost]

[He pulls himself back up.]

Thanks for letting me know. [There is so much sarcasm here.]

[rockstark]

Hey, my pleasure. Didn't think anyone started the hero gig as young as you unless they were from, oh, upstate New York. How's that working out for you?

[doyoufondue]

They do. Third Wednesday of every month and also Christmas. --Are you okay?

[schrodingersghost]

If you don't count my life being over. [Surprisingly Danny did not fall off the bed this time. Of course, this was due to a certain someone breaking the news that this had all been broadcast to everyone on the network.]

[doyoufondue]

You look alive to me.

[schrodingersghost]

...Very funny.

This is how it starts you know. It starts with people seeing this. Next thing you know someone from my world is going to find out and then they're going to be volunteering me for lots and lots of painful experiments. Or maybe dissections.

[godofabs]

There are things that you need to learn.

[schrodingersghost]

....Please tell you didn't hear all of that.

[godofabs]

Yes?

[schrodingersghost]

...Um, what?

[makewayforroze]

Are you alright?

[schrodingersghost]

....Fine? Nothing suspicious going on here!

[makewayforroze]

It's too late to lie about that and there's no need to.

[schrodingersghost]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[mightletyouknowme]

No.

[schrodingersghost]

What?

[mightletyouknowme]

I'm answering your question. Heroes usually don't get non working vacations.

[schrodingersghost]

Gee, thanks for the info.

[crackpotcrocker]

....That light... I've seen that before but where....

[schrodingersghost]

What light? I didn't see any light!

[crackpotcrocker]

Don't lie to me. I know what I saw.

[schrodingersghost]

It's late. Maybe you were dreaming.
