“ | I know what you're thinking. 'Barry, your origin's awesome! And you're incredibly attractive!' Thanks. Glad you noticed. 'Where'd your jetpack come from? I wanna get one and be just like you!' Makes sense. Technically, my jetpack's borrowed. Untechnically? I stole it. But! I stole it from Legitimate industries. They're bad guys. Remember, kids: Stealing from bad guys is totally fine. | „ |
