I think it's a good quality to have. And I'm glad that you admitted to having one right off the bat. Keeps things from getting messy later.

[arcum]

Yeah well my wife gets fussy when I don't tell people I have one. Keeps the bickering to a minimum.

[prosecutorial]

So it's more out of self preservation than anything else.

[arcum]

Well, yeah. That and I love her. When we bicker it's no fun for anyone.

[prosecutorial]

Loving her is important too. Can't have a marriage without that.

[arcum]

Though sometimes I think she just married me because I do all the handiwork around the house.

[ Which makes her crazy, but whatever. ]

[prosecutorial]

That good with a hammer?

[arcum]

Better than most. We have a farm house. Needed a lot of upkeep and repairs. Saved money if I did them. Then I started doing renovations when I was home.

[prosecutorial]

So basically nothing was ever finished.

[arcum]

Hey. There's plenty of stuff finished and redon. I finish my jobs thank you very much. Sometimes there's gaps when I'm out of town for work. Saving the world takes time.

[prosecutorial]

Ahh, I see. So you save the world and do your best to make it home in time to refinish the basement?

[arcum]

More like lay the rest of the new flooring. Install the new counter-tops. And also yeah save the world. Oh and if I can swing it tuck my kids into bed. Part of the job.

[prosecutorial]

If only all superhero dads had your priorities.

[arcum]

I'm told there aren't many.

[prosecutorial]

There's one in my universe. He does the best with what he has.

[arcum]

I'm lucky. I got a pretty awesome wife to help balance what I can't.

[prosecutorial]

He has a pretty awesome wife himself. But she's a superhero in her own right, so it's a balance they're still figuring out.

[arcum]

Who are they? Maybe I know 'em. We superhero dads are an exclusive club. Must save Earth at least once to gain entry.

[prosecutorial]

He goes by Spartan? I don't know about saving Earth, but he's definitely saved Star City a few times.

[a beat]

His wife, on the other hand, actively does the save the world thing, so maybe she's in the mom's club instead.

[arcum]

Never heard of him. Not out there at least. Or Star City. But. I'm guessing that's okay.

If you see him again see if he knows the name Hawkeye.

Well, most women do tend to do the heavy lifting in the relationship. Mine does.

[prosecutorial]

He probably doesn't. If you don't know Star City, then we're probably working with different worlds.

[arcum]

Too bad. Would have been nice to meet a few more superhero parents. I'm the only parent on my team.

[prosecutorial]

Is it lonely? Being the only one with certain priorities?
