"You could say the same thing about Dipper and Mabel. Why go for them even though they're not superheroes at all?"
He held a hand to his chest, near where his plastron met his neckline - the place that the scientists in that creepy lab had started to saw into. It had long since healed up but the way he held his hand there made it look almost like he still felt vulnerable about it.
"But the three of you saved me and Mikey. You were the ones who were there, not some big shot superheroes. You got us out. You got everyone out even though some of 'em probably didn't deserve it and you torched the place to the ground when you saw the kinda evil they were getting up to. That says to me that you were the ones that should've been there."
He caught her gaze, green eyes practically beaming sincerity - and something else. Maybe admiration? Gratitude?
"So lemme tell you a little secret, as someone who's pretty tough and part of a pretty tough team - everybody's winging it. Even people who know what they're doing are winging it. Even if you can't see why those kids might want you here, it's clear as anything to me."
