I take great insult to that!

[retropolis]

I took great insult to having my mind read. No civilized hero engages in behavior like that.

[ So there. ]

[futureleader]

But I'm not a hero! I'm just a teenager.

[yer rude nelly.]

[retropolis]

Well, it's never too early to start. I've worked with folks who were eighteen -- sixteen, even. If you would rather use your p-- tal-- "skills" for anarchy than good then I don't--

[ --think that you deserve them!! Hoodlum!! But he's not saying that. ]

... Think that's right.

[futureleader]

[Oh. The jig is up.]

...I unified the world with my psychic powers.

[if you count unifying them into a panic, that is.]

[retropolis]

[ LMAO QUENTIN. Mixed feelings!! He might not have a problem with this. ]

Peacefully?

[futureleader]

I stormed into the world conference and said "may I have your attention please, this won't hurt a bit!" And then, bam, instant world peace.

[retropolis]

[ Wrinkles his nose skeptically. ]

That doesn't sound so bad...

[futureleader]

See? Don't be so skeptical gramps.

[retropolis]

[ Warily: ] I'm well aware of some of the ideals youth believes in these days, and I think there are important values our nation should unite itself under, unaffected by the corruptive influences of communism and other social ills of our time. World peace needs to account for that.

[futureleader]

Oh my god. Get a load of this capitalist conformist. Just another sheep in the American flock! Tell me, are they still teaching you to kiss your ass goodbye in the event of a nuclear strike? Bert the Turtle was a fucking riot to watch for kicks.

[retropolis]

Of course not. We haven't needed to worry about that for years. We need to usher in the future with the ideals of the past intact. [ Saddest face rn. Like: 8C ]

[futureleader]

[omg what a weirdo.]

Wait, are you saying there's no nuclear war?

[retropolis]

Not exactly -- j-just that we have a nuclear deterrent.

[futureleader]

More nuclear bombs?

[retropolis]

No. A man. [ 8C 8C 8C ]

[futureleader]

...you?

[retropolis]

Oh, no, not at all. [ He gets a little sour-faced, shaking his head. Dr. Manhattan weirds him out just a little. ] I can't do anything like that. This man is more -- he can do anything.

[futureleader]

Anything? Anything at all?

[retropolis]

Yes. He helped the United States resolve the conflict in Vietnam in just a couple of months. No one had ever seen anything like it.

[futureleader]

....that's really weird.

[retropolis]

It is. But... now I don't think it's any weirder than telling the world to be peaceful with your mind.

[futureleader]

Well, in my world we have numerous superheroes so that's not out of the ordinary.

But sounds to me like you're talking about one guy.

[retropolis]

I am. We have other masked adventurers -- have had plenty, we're in the... the second generation, now -- but we're all just people.

[ Shakes his head!! ]

That's the future of heroics, I suppose.

[futureleader]

But just one guy? We have like, about two hundred people. Give or take some of them are close to useless but I can't imagine only one person having the power to do anything.
