If you were a superhero, what would you want your power be? And would you tell anyone about it?

I used to read a lot of comic books.

[And by 'used to' he really means right before he came here.]

I guess I've just always liked superheroes. They have powers, gifts, things that make them special. But there's always pain too. They lose people that they love, or they have to hide their true identity. Their lives are never perfect.

Maybe I should've started by asking if you would WANT to be a superhero.

Mister Bellamy, I find it incredibly unlikely that you are without skill. Have you considered that it is your perception that requires adjustment, and not your person?

[invis]

I asked my guidance counselor about that once. The answer wasn't very encouraging.

[firstofficer]

Is her opinion of particular importance to you?

[invis]

No. But it was her job, and I guess I just expected her to know.

[firstofficer]

To know you better than you know yourself?

[invis]

I guess it doesn't make much sense when you put it that way.

I just wanted someone to notice something good about me.

[firstofficer]

Are you unable to notice the good in yourself?

[invis]

I've gotten better at it. I did wonder for a long time, because I never fit in.

[firstofficer]

Then perhaps that is your gift.
