"Hey, let me ask you something." Flit reaches toward you as the world-famous song comes to its close. As before, LB has the hearts of the audience, so no one pays attention to the two of you. "It might just be the moment, but I can't help myself."
Their eyes lock on yours.
"Do you miss it? Do you miss the good old days?"
"I miss you, most of all."
"Sometimes, but it's over now. Let's enjoy the moment."
"Sort of. Most of all, I just hope that everyone is okay nowadays."
"I don't miss wearing ridiculous outfits and being constantly told what to do by patronizing grown-ups, no."
"Every day! Wake up, kick Thaumaturge's ass, eat some cereal, deal with Facsimile's &$!#?%@…that was the good life."
"I don't. Our mentors left us with no explanation. The others have disbanded like we were nothing…and now we're here, reminiscing like old people. It's pathetic."
"Not only do I miss it, but I think we should be a thing again. The Omega Responders were training us to replace them one day, and we owe it to their memories to keep fighting the good fight."
