you're allowed to have secrets, you know.

everything else you do and you're a hero too.

i started during the gang war
fighting back, helping people, it made me feel like i had purpose again
i hadn't felt that way since before i died
it felt good.

i'm glad you did.
you deserve to feel that way nate

i wonder if you know how much you've changed my life

me, or warlock?

i meant you. there's so much you've done for me.

though

warlock helped me remember that i can care about others, and crush on others, and that I shouldn't let loss and pain keep me from that.

warlock taught you that, did he?

He's the first new person I've been into in a while now. It's just really been you and Eliot for a while.

Not intentionally. I just realized it.

i'm sorry. that he wasn't really new, i mean.

Why are you sorry? I fell for you twice. I'm not sorry for that.

no, well nor am i.

i mean i'm sorry for tricking you.

Don't be. There's no point to a secret identity if you tell everyone.

well, you know now.

you were impressive. when we fought together, i mean. you were really good.

And I will keep it a secret too. Not that I think you doubt that but you have my word.

Thank you. I mean, I had to show off, right?

you did well. actually we did well, together.

i should've told you that night.

That's how I saw it. We did well together.

Nate, it's okay. I'm not upset you didn't. The black magic though, it gave it away.
It also made things clearer for me in that moment when I needed things to be clear.

my stupid purple flare would've given me away easily, i had to disguise it

i just thought i'd play into the shadow theme

probably a bit dramatic tbh. but at least it meant it couldn't be traced back to me.

Yeah, it would have. Your purple is distinctive.

Your secret's safe with me, Nate. Though I may still flirt with Warlock.

are you gonna fight with him, too?

If he'll let me, I'm there.

I never thought about actually fighting for rights and to protect others. I always thought about doing it as a lawyer but here, that doesn't work. Maybe it's time for another way.

i think he'd let you

i think he'd need a name to call you when you were on the field, though.

Perhaps a disguise as well.

Though that's likely easier than a name. Suppose I'll have to figure out the right one. Just to try and fit as well as some.

i don't think you'd have a problem with that

i saw you in that fight, remember. in your memory?
i think you'd be perfect.

I never thought I'd get a chance to use those skills to help others.
It still amazes me how much a year in this place has given me.

so the fact that there's things here that need someone to fight them back is, a good thing?

Of course it is, Nate.
Look around. There's gangs and sometimes monsters.
Others of us out of control sometimes.

Someone has to do it.
