Issue #5 - End of Day Four [Text]

Holy shit someone help. I think the infirmary bastards stole my kidneys. #fuckthebarge

Oh, lord, not you too. [Fortunately it's text, so no one can see just how upsetting this is.]

Do you need anything, besides a new kidney?

Oh, hey Barbara.

No, I'm actually pretty good. Aside from, y'know. Dead again. How are you?

I'm fine. [No she's not.] I can get some sleep now, anyway.

Oh yeah? I guess everyone's getting sleep right about now.

Tell me you didn't die.

No, I've avoided dying on the Barge so far.

Damn, I probably just jinxed myself.

Well, that's because you're a killer badass. No surprise there.

I try.

How are you doing in killer badass training?

I'm...okay. Rorschach keeps making me box with him but I don't feel like getting stronger.

And, uh. Jason wants to train me too.

You don't, day to day. But you look back a few months from when you started and you're amazed at the difference.

...Well, Jason knows his stuff.

Guess that makes sense.

You're not mad?

Just give it time, Chris. You'll get there.

No, I'm not. I can see why you'd want to learn from him. And Jason is - he's not a bad kid. [He's not a kid, really, not anymore, but she can't seem to stop calling him one.] He has his heart in the right place, anyway.

Or my asthma will come back to kill me. Either or.

Jason's pretty cool. I mean. He's so goddamn direct about stuff, it's pretty refreshing.

Well, hey, you'll come back.

He was always like that. Cuts right through the bull.

Don't say that in front of my warden, he'll get ideas.

It's refreshing. He seems...I don't know, lonely? Standoffish? What's the word..

I doubt it.

Aloof? Yeah, that part's new. The extent of it, anyway.

Yeah, he actually seemed pretty pissed about the dying part. Who knew?

Sad.

He has every right to be angry.

Just don't let his anger carry you away.

Because he's a shit warden.

I kind of like his anger.

Oh, I thought you meant -

Did you really taunt Rorschach about his death?

No, I taunted him about mine. I was pissed about his.

So you're both angry on each others' behalf, then.

We're both just pissed off that the other isn't an immortal badass. That's all.
