[So recently he had bragged about it. All the tail that would possibly come with this job.
That was before he had seen them all shot down, one by one. Not the original Guardians, but his teammates and Invincible, the most powerful ones. All in an office building several stories above the ground, somewhere in the heart of Chicago.
That thing was not of this Earth. That much, Rex was able to surmise. What all that bloodshed did do for him was remind him of what it means to be a true hero...
It is a title that he has still not yet earned.]
When shit really hits the fan? Earthquakes, wars... Entire forests and cities on fire...?
I'm on the short list.
I protect and serve. Me. And well, all the other dipshits on my fucking team.
But then again, two of 'em might be dead right now, soooo... I dunno.
[He shrugs half-heartedly. Samson and Monster Girl looked pretty bad. Invincible survived, sure, but in a way, that's to be expected.]
The last thing I remember, they were bein' carted off. They looked pretty much dead, but our doctors? The guys who patch up superpowered circus freaks like us? Oh! They're the practitioners of real witchcraft! I'll tell ya.
