[Kurt raises an unseen eyebrow.]
Tongs?
[A beat.]
Okay, that's fair enough. So I'd get to borrow them, right? ...Are masked heroes allowed to borrow comics?

Okay, fine. [He smiles meekly at her.] But you did save me, so no matter how many sorries there are, I owe you some thanks too. [Kurt gives a thumbs up.] So, thanks! Talk about de vine intervention!

I... I get what you mean. [He scratches at his head with a thoughtful frown.] Maybe just... a little bit at a time? And... hey, lots of people are remembering scary and unbelievable stuff. So, there might be people out there who can relate more than you think.

R-right! I know. I should... do that! [He's not sure what 'cognizant' means, but he can kinda guess from the context. Kurt offers her a weak smile.]
Hey, I'm made of some pretty stern stuff. I'll be fine, Mom. I promise! I... just gotta get some new batteries!

Maybe. [She was not convinced.]
I just...I don't want them to think I'm a murderer. Or that I'm going to become one.
[Because she worried about that. She could feel that anger sometimes, that protective rage the other Eleanor felt...]

But you could never! [He responds quickly.] Y-you'd never...
[He trails off and looks down.]
Okay, maybe some people would assume that.

Most people don't know me, so why wouldn't they? [Eleanor was a pessimist pretending to be a realist, at least when it came to herself.]
So, it's easier, and safer, if I just keep it to myself.

But there are people who know you. Right? People you can trust.
...I know I still trust you. I know you're not her. And I can't be the only one who can think like that!
...I know I still trust you. I know you're not her. And I can't be the only one who can think like that!
Well, I hope you aren't, anyway. [But she was smiling as she said this.]
No, I know. There are people I would not worry about. And thanks for being one of them. But it's still not something I want to just...tell people about, that's all.
[She hesitates.]
Please don't tell anyone?

[He nods with a soft smile.]
I would never! My lips are sealed, Eleanor. [he even does a zipping motion across his lips to signify this.]
But... I'm glad you have people. You always do. And, you're not alone.

Yeah...
[She sucked in a breath, glancing at the screen again, and then straightened up a bit.]
Okay. Anyway. Where do you think we're going?
[She walks away from the screen, to the front of the car to try and look out the window.]

...Uh, yeah, I guess.
You should definitely let me know where you live, though, so I can collect it afterwards.
Deal?

[Kurt follows her and looks out an adjacent window. There's not much to see aside from darkness, though.]
I'd like to say Disney World. But I'm pretty sure it's actually going to be someplace that's weird, confusing, and probably dangerous? [That's the Retrospec guarantee!]

Dea- wait, no deal! [He had started to reach out for a handshake, but then he pulls his hand right back.]
Then you'd know my secret secret identity! We can't do it that way. ...Should I set up a PO Box? Is that what those are for?

Aw, man.
[so close]
...And I dunno. I haven't heard of anyone using a P.O. Box since like the 1960s.
Why don't you just teleport to my house?

[He snaps his fingers and points finger-guns at the boy, who is not a beast. Not yet.]
Now that sounds like a plan, shorter man! [He then remembers that only his other identity is supposed to know where he lives.] Um, just let me know where that's at.

...I'm Gar.
[please don't ever call him that again]
And I live on XXXX Huntington Ave. It's, uh, down by this one park with the fountain... You can probably just Google Maps it.

[She laughed softly.]
I feel like this would be a bad way to get people to come to your park. What with the giant rats and creepy vines.
[She leans forward, pressign her face to the window, trying to see ahead...but so far, just darkness ahead. Maybe a light in the distance...]

Oh, yeah, totally! I'll google that map so hard, a-and we'll make that comic exchange happen!
It'd true. I am full of surprises! [He says with a smirk as he raises his own flashlight.]
Right... Let's keep this journey rolling!
Right... Let's keep this journey rolling!
Well, like, there's technically a mascot that's close enough to a giant rat... [He says with a laugh, but then he starts to practically press his face against the glass.]
...Do you see something?
