Yeah she knew she wasn't worth it. That's all right though, Flashpoint's done fine on her own all this time. She can keep doing it no matter how lonely it is! It doesn't matter that she's old now and kinda running out of time to enjoy that stuff...

That stuff is for other people! At least that's what she believes because it makes going without easier.

And Deadlock can have all the 'thank you's and 'my hero's and swooning he wants as long as he can accept some sarcasm in there. It's the only way she can do it without making either of them purge. If she really went all doe-eyed on him would Deadlock actually be able to handle that?

And she can't argue with that point, he DID go in after her. So fine, she concedes the point for once, arms crossing over her chest. "Yeah. Okay. ... Thanks." Thank yous are starting now Deadlock, are you prepared?
