Joel's doing a few things too
-He's trying to get over being replaced by that Skrull. Not much luck there
-He's also working harder than he did before his kidnapping, trying to use work to distract himself from his issues.
-Joel's missing Steph and his other friends that got Ported out and he's hoping he can make some new ones.
-He's been having trouble sleeping lately
-Joel is also keeping an eye on the Network, wary of all the bad guys from his world that have been showing up lately.
