Sure I do. I just go "what if I die today" or "what if I can't protect the people I care about" That way when I come back to reality, I feel better because I realize none of those things happened. Of course, I guess I can scratch "what if I lose my other arm" off my list.

[julienned]

Clearly you did protect people, dumbass. I heard that.

[skinofalizard]

That's my point, Julian. I sit and wonder what would happen if I couldn't, then I come back to reality and I do it. Because I already know what will happen if I can't.

[julienned]

Then stop worrying about that stuff. You can. You always do. Stop doubting it, it's annoying.

[skinofalizard]

[sort of glancing at his giant spiky left shoulder]

Not always.

[julienned]

Still here, aren't I?

[skinofalizard]

Yeah, but I was trying to do it without getting hurt.

[julienned]

Thanks for bleeding on me, by the way. That and the crazy redhead talking in my head was just what I needed.

[skinofalizard]

Well, I was going to wipe it off, but my hands were kind of full with...you know, my hand.

[julienned]

At least I've already had mutant AIDS or whatever we're calling the Legacy Virus now.

[skinofalizard]

[clearly joking]

Oh, nice, worry about AIDS because the gay one bled on you.

[julienned]

Shouldn't you be worried that I'll give it to you?

[skinofalizard]

You're really not up on how AIDS works, are you?

[julienned]

I was drugged when they infected me, so sorry for not paying attention to how it happened.

...wait, do you even know that? Hell, I always forget who knows what about that black ops team.

[skinofalizard]

Yeah, I know. You told me about it before.

[julienned]

[shrugs]

I can never keep track of who knows and doesn't anymore.

[skinofalizard]

I know the feeling.

[julienned]

There should be a multiple choice quiz on this.

[skinofalizard]

Or just write our own files and hand out copies to everyone in the cabin.

[julienned]

It'd be more fun if we wrote each other's.

[skinofalizard]

Might defeat the point though.

[julienned]

Just because we'd describe Foley's powers as "he's a Disney princess who might be high at all times".

[skinofalizard]

And then in fine print, "Alani swears he's a good kisser, but I've had better."

[julienned]

See, I think that's team bonding.

[skinofalizard]

I've heard worse ideas.
