Meaning what, exactly?
<Snipped quote by Source>
Villains would like to try and kill us.
<Snipped quote by whizzball1>
Why?
<Snipped quote by Source>
Because we're heroes. I suppose that sounds like circular reasoning, however.
<Snipped quote by whizzball1>
You sure you're doing the right thing if so many people want to kill you?
<Snipped quote by Source>
We're quite certain, believe me.
<Snipped quote by whizzball1>
If you're so confident.
<Snipped quote by Source>
Thank you. We don't pick many of our fights, anyway; I'd be hard pressed to think of many that we instigated. There's a healthy balance between going after bad guys sometimes and going after bad guys so often that they start coming after us to destroy us before we can act.
<Snipped quote by whizzball1>
Are you that well-known?
<Snipped quote by Source>
Reasonably so. Existence is large, and villains and heroes are many; we are but a few, though I fancy we are a grand few. But there are enough villains in Existence to find any group of heroes of note, so it is no surprise that we are often found.
<Snipped quote by whizzball1>
I guess that's believable enough.

In a mark of exceptional narrative convenience—I.e. when I had nothing else to say—we have come upon our destination. *Opens a door to reveal Shinji on a comfortable bed, with the bodies present standing or sitting depending on their presence in Shinji’s mind* He’s sleeping quite soundly, but if you would like to come closer to ensure his chest is rising, you may do so.
<Snipped quote by whizzball1>
I'm okay—it's not that important. Can I bring him with me?
<Snipped quote by Source>
He is not currently in a good state for that. For now, this is he best place for him. He and his late father are both members of this group, he has always been safest here.
<Snipped quote by whizzball1>
You said that this place is dangerous.
<Snipped quote by Source>
Technically, it's usually outside of this place that is dangerous.
<Snipped quote by whizzball1>
*Shrugs*
Fine by me then. What is this group anyway? Some kind of company?
<Snipped quote by Source>
A group of friends with powers, united for all sorts of random reasons, but friends to the end.
<Snipped quote by whizzball1>
Why bother with all the structure, then?
