[Will's been here for a hot second, and he's paid careful attention to...things that are going on. And he's more than ready to hit y'all with a whammy of a moral conundrum. Forgive his slow typing; he's from the 80's and texting isn't really a thing.]

if you do something bad -- like really bad, like unforgivable -- in your life before here

are you allowed to not tell anyone about it? or try to be better here? are you allowed to start over entirely?

is that bad too?

[Will pauses for a moment, thinking.] does he kinda look like this >:| ?

!!! no, nobody in my world has super powers!! i mean. almost nobody. no grown-ups. and nobody with sparkly fists, i don't think?

Yeah!!!! Just with bruises on his face because he has friends who beat him up for fun? Adults are so weird!

Oh I get it. So we're split like 60/40 with adult superpowered people in the lead, I think? I see more adults than kids anyways. The one I talked about earlier lost his healing powers, but still was helping Ms. Marvel save a kid from his school for the gifted which is like a school of superpowered kids basically. If you ended up like him, you'd be really lucky because even without his powers he's still one of Earth's Mightiest Heroes! Super cool guy.

i think they have a fight club? thing? i went to it once, because my friend mike helped start it, but i didn't fight. i don't like fighting.

does EVERYONE have powers where you're from?

That's cool! My big brother doesn't like it either. I stopped by to exercise since I had a really strict routine back home.

Uh no. It's just that we started with like a couple who got powers from government experiments in the 40s and now we have like 200 or 300 probably with all different reasons for having them. It seems like a lot, but only because it started so small and so many of us got them suddenly in the last ten years.

it makes them happy. mike and um. pb...hot dog...guy. [Oh god, he doesn't know his name. How does he not know his name. How RUDE!!]

oh....do YOU have powers?

He gave you the name hot dog guy, huh? He's so sneaky!!!!! Or this is a really elaborate dad joke. Both are totally possible with him.

[This is the part where she rereads her texts and wow she's an idiot. She definitely implied she was one of them. Kamala doesn't want to lie, but she also doesn't want to come out with the truth where everyone can see it either. She settles on the truth that actually doesn't answer Will's question at all.]

I meant us as in humans at large!! And you know mutants are technically another species, I think? Inhumans are still human with some alien DNA(?) in them... So yeah that's what I meant. Sorry this is so confusing. My world is crazy complicated.

welllll not exactly. he was making hot dogs. so...hot dog guy. that's probably rude. i should ask his name.

[There's a pause, where Will sighs softly. He sees right through you, Kamala.] riiiiight. humans at large. okay. cool.

Oh! Well I don't think he'll be mad since he seems pretty chill even with his grumpy >:| face. You should really ask now that you've thought of it though!

Uh. :( Listen even if someone did hypothetically have powers, you can't talk about it where other people can see it. Where I come from that's how you end up getting attacked in your home or forced to fight in a war or experimented on or imprisoned.... Unless the Avengers/X-Men/Fantastic Four show up to save you.

It's a conversation you have face to face.

if you're sure. i don't want to make him upset.

[Ahhhhhhh. Wait for it:] other people can see the stuff we're writing?

[William, p l e a s e. He doesn't understand the idea of a public network. At all.]

I'm sure! He really seems like a good guy to me.

And yeah. Wait did you not know that?! OMG! I thought you knew this was public. Did you say anything bad?? I don't want to invade your privacy, but I can show you how to make things mostly private!

(Super experienced people will totally break my code for that FYI but, it's better than nothing. And to those people: MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.)

he's been nice to me. a lot of grown up guys aren't, so...that's pretty cool.

nooooo i didn't! who goes around reading other people's stuff??? how do i fix it??? is this like emojis??? is it from the future too???

Those grown up guys suck and I will punch them for you, WilltheWise. >(

Total weirdos. And yes this is exactly like emojis. I can show you in person, but first let me just ask what year you are from because I'm getting the feeling you're from like the past or something.

just will is okay. and it's okay, i can be really really annoying sometimes.

ummmmm 1984? how come?

Wow even if that were true which I'm not saying! That doesn't mean adults can be mean to you. They're supposed to be setting a good example! Real men don't bully kids. Or anyone. Even my loser brother is a better example of manhood than whoever is picking on you!

.... Yep. That explains everything. Okay I'm from 2015 and here to tell you the beauty of filtered posts. Just give me a minute to think of a beautiful way to sum this up in a response for someone from 1984.

it's my dad. he just gets frustrated when i don't act like a normal boy.

2015??? that's like a million years in the future!! are there flying cars and stuff???

You shouldn't disrespect someone's dad, but there's literally no such thing as a normal boy! People are just people. They like, hate, and whatever things. It's not that serious.

To sum it up: he's wrong and he should feel wrong. Respectfully.

As far the cars, ONLY LIKE SUPER SPIES, SUPER RICH PEOPLE, AND PEOPLE IN WAKANDA HAVE THEM. IT SUCKS. We do have the internet though which is amazing. Like everything you could possibly ever want to know at your fingertips! Movies! Comics! Other stuff I really don't care about. :') So that's neat.

it's okay. he doesn't live with us anymore. i think he kinda got frustrated that it wasn't the life he wanted so he went to go have one he DID want. it's fine, we don't really miss him.

that sounds cooler than flying cars, honestly. where's the internet come from? like, do you have to go somewhere and get it?

I can see why if he left you feeling that way. I'm sorry. :( Honestly it's his loss because even after talking to you for like five minutes I'm pretty positive anyone would be lucky to have you as a son. You're really nice!

Oh internet is from wires underground, towers, etc etc. It's kind of everywhere as long as you get a signal? You can access it on devices like these. :>

you really think so? thanks. you're really nice too. you don't even know me and you're nice.

from...underground. okay. [SOUNDS FAKE, BUT OKAY.]

I do! You should be nice to everyone, but you make it super easy to be honest. I always admired people who want to be better. It's why I love superheroes even if everyone thinks it's baby-ish.

Yeah... sorry my explanations suck. :( The point is it's really cool and I wish we had it so I could binge watch some cute cat and dog videos.

i don't think they're baby-ish. i think they're awesome. you don't have to like what other people say it's normal to like, if that's not who you are. that's what my brother's always saying to me cause i like stuff like drawing and music and not...boy things.

there are videos?? of dogs??? [Nevermind he takes it all back the internet is A M A Z I N G.]

See this is why I already like you! And your brother sounds totally awesome and right at the same time. Want to switch? Mine is a wet blanket who only ever wants to talk about religion and morals. :(

SO MANY OMG. There's a video for like every kind of dog. People put together hours of dog footage. It's so cool.

nuh-uh, gonna keep mine, he's the best. he's kinda like a dad, almost. he watches out for me almost as much as my mom does.

i really like dogs!!! there's one here that can TALK. sort of.

No one ever falls for that!!! But, that's okay. I'll keep my wet sock of a brother so you can enjoy your awesome one.

You too?!! I NEED TO MEET THAT DOG. PLEASE TELL ME HOW HE CAN TALK

he probably loves you deep down and stuff. my friend mike has a little sister holly and he definitely loves her even if she makes him annoyed sometimes.

his name is teddy and he can make the device work with his MIND!!!
