[Private – to Steve Rogers]
Sorry to bother you, but my warden can't exactly help me with this. You're the one I talk to about using the gym, right?

[Private – to Kon]
Have you got a minute? I wanted to ask you something.

[And afterward; Public]
Hey Barge, Beth here.

There's been a little interest in it lately, so I thought I'd offer. For the last month or so Kon and I have been training together – it's a mix of meditation and basic martial arts. It's strictly beginner stuff, since I don't know enough to teach anything too advanced, but if anyone's interested we usually meet in the gym before breakfast. If there's a lot of interest and that doesn't work for people, we can talk about changing the meeting time. Warden or inmate, experienced or not, you're welcome to stop on by.

I think that's one of the major differences between myself here and back in my world. People judge me all the time back there so I've taken on a similar attitude. I want to help but I'm also of the mindset that there are consequences to your actions and if people mess up, it's on them.

Here, people have been surprisingly understanding and encouraging. I've told people about the mistakes I've made and they look past me. Sometimes I wonder if it's my world. Someone was surprised when I said people are afraid of Superman in my world, sounds like he's revered elsewhere.

Sometimes I wish I could visit you on your world, see exactly where it is you come from and what it's like there. But after hearing your stories, I'm a little glad I haven't been. [Canting her head, she nods.] You're right, everyone's got to pay for their own mistakes.

It might just be. There's no point pretending my world is a default normality but where I'm from, Superman is just a story but very well beloved.

The place I come from is long gone, I made sure of that. If anyone from N.O.W.H.E.R.E. shows up again, I'll remind them of the consequences for their cruelty.

Really? Weird. I guess with so many realities out there, any one of us could be a book or a movie or whatever in another reality.

[Half-smiling, B nods.] Then maybe it's time to start you on tiger-style as well.

I wouldn't be surprised. We've got no shortage of melodramatic stories.
