[julienned]

I can still punch you.

[skinofalizard]

And after you protected me from the Phoenix even though you were in a coma and everything. I'm hurt.

[gustamove]

Fine. Persuade me, Keller.

[julienned]

That was real?

[skinofalizard]

It was. Thanks for it, by the way.

[julienned]

No problem. Clearly I'm so much of a badass that even a coma can't keep me out.

[skinofalizard]

Or maybe my screams were so girly that you were trying to mute them.

[julienned]

You know, one of the reasons I came back was because of you, don't you?

[julienned]

Wouldn't I have put the barrier up over me, in that case?

[skinofalizard]

You were in a coma. Maybe you couldn't direct it.

[julienned]

Yes, I could, because I'm awesome.

[gustamove]

[ leans over ]

Sure.

[skinofalizard]

Yeah, well, I stood up to a mental assault from the Phoenix and then sucker punched her so maybe we both are.

[julienned]

[catches part of her hair between his fingers]

I missed you.

[julienned]

Hell, I couldn't even do that first part. You are badass.

[skinofalizard]

Yeah, well, it wasn't really impressive, to be honest. You probably got a lot more than me.

[julienned]

[shrugs]

It was me doing it to myself too. If I'd said yes to her, then it would have stopped and I would have woken up. 'Course, if I'd said yes, 90% of this place would be dead and disintegrated.

[skinofalizard]

Fortunately for us, you're you.

[gustamove]

I missed you too. I thought that...

[julienned]

I wouldn't die. I can't. Not while you guys are all here.

[julienned]

I'm the best goddamn Julian Keller there is, and I should know as I met one. He was a miserable bastard.

[skinofalizard]

Alternate universes are weird.

[julienned]

Aint that the truth.

[gustamove]

The same goes for the rest of you, you know.

[julienned]

Yeah, I know. You'd go down in a tornado if you had your way. You'd try and kill the Phoenix Force if you had to. It's what makes you amazing.
