You sure you're doing the right thing if so many people want to kill you?

@Source

We're quite certain, believe me.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Why?

@Source

Because we're heroes. I suppose that sounds like circular reasoning, however.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Meaning what, exactly?

@Source

Villains would like to try and kill us.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Er, why?

@Source

Heroes have corresponding villains.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Just for the sake of it?

@Source

No, it's just better than relying on arbitrary healing powers that may or may not be inaccessible at any given moment. We do a lot of near-dying here.

This building.

@Source

Rarely. *Laughs* But every now and then. For example, several members of our team worked together a while back to produce a number of special chambers that could protect and restore most of the members of our little group in a dire situation, suited specifically for each, and that takes up a lot of space in and of itself. It's been used a few times before, too.

How could all of it be useful?

@Source

All of what?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

How large is this place?

@Source

It is in a full-scale mountain. We don't use nearly all of the mountain, however. We have several large hangars and a number of floors with various amenities and useful tools that we've built over the years. State-of-the-art automated medical systems, for example. *Halfway down one of the hallways we walk through, it widens sharply on one side, and in the nook there is a pad with a terminal on the wall; I lead you onto it, step on with you, and hit a button that teleports us a couple of floors down; I lead you out and we continue walking*

Sounds like you have about everything you need.

@Source

I do in fact. And I have fun.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Can't you buy a home?

@Source

*Shrugs* I suppose. We have a collective account for this group, built up by the contributions of members and various rewards and awards for our services to Existence; I could easily use it to buy a house, but I feel no need. I have no need to eat, no need to store clothing, no personal hygiene that is not constantly perfect.
