Kyle submitted to the poking and prodding, not particularly happy about it but accepting that it was in his best interest.

He raised his brows at Kaz, smiling sweetly. "You know what I like about you, Kaz? No sugar coating." He looked back at Billy. "You see this shit? He's more emotionally constipated than your brother, it's sort of amazing. I love it."

He pursed his lips as Billy poked at him. "And I get the feeling you're trying to get me to talk about MY feelings with another amputee. Which is sweet."

"Look. I know all of you are fucking... mega superhero space wizard robots and shit. And I'm just that dipshit redhead you picked up from the most boring version of Earth. But while this might top the charts for worst thing to happen to me, it's like... at least it was an accident. Kaz wasn't TRYING to hurt me, not really." He looked at Kaz. "And shut up, you were acting in self defense, don't even try to argue it. You didn't have a master plan to kill me, like some of my friends have. So like... whatever. I'll be okay. I don't need to cry on anybody's shoulder."
