Diego laid on the roof, staring up at the night sky like he always did when he was beating himself up about something. He was supposed to be this brave protector but in his first real test, he proved entirely useless. And all he had to show for it was the bandage on his temple from being thrown like a ragdoll.

He let out a sigh and said, "I'm such an idiot..."

(open)

Once he was cleared to leave, Basil got off campus for a singular purpose.

More coffin nails.

The day had been quite taxing on even those who hadn't fought, and coupled with his bent feelings he'd spent the few he overpaid on already.

He was surprised to find someone else up here so late, but at Deigo''s admission he replied.

"Join the club. We meet weekly. On Wednesday we wear sandwich boards to remind everyone of how daft we really are."

Posted: **Wed May 03, 2017 2:50 pm**

He tilted his head back to look at Basil.

"You get smacked down by an alien like a superchump too?"

Posted: **Wed May 03, 2017 3:04 pm**

"Nope!" Let off the invisible Englishmen in his cheery tone that wasn't actuallly.

"I hid in my maybe girlfriend's dorm stark naked with a pair of sewing sheers to protect her. Twice. Then I took her to see her roommate in the infirmary and for my efforts I was rewarded by being called a liar when someone else upset her, and subsequently ignored by her after her and the other person resolved their issues.

All kinds of ways to be an idiot."

Posted: **Wed May 03, 2017 7:18 pm**

"Have you always dreamed of being a scissor-wielding lady guardian who is above reproach and can't be ignored? Then maybe you're my kind of idiot."

Posted: **Wed May 03, 2017 8:11 pm**

" That's an oddly specific life goal." He chuckled despite himself, and made himself comfortable. He held out the fresh pack of smokes to Diego.

"Hero work's not glamourous. Like police work I imagine. You'll get your head around it."

Posted: **Wed May 03, 2017 8:30 pm**

He waved away the cancer stick. "I would have preferred not getting my fuzzy ass kicked on my first try."

Posted: **Wed May 03, 2017 10:07 pm**

Basil lights up, making sure to stay downwind of Diego so that he doesn't smoke him out. This makes him out of the other boys line of sight, but then again, what's to see?

" They say it's not about the fact you got knocked down, but how quickly you get back up that defines you.

They is Rocky. Rocky said that." He laughed awkwardly.

Posted: **Thu May 04, 2017 12:16 am**

He smirked. "Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past? You must fight just to keep them alive?" he asked.

Posted: **Thu May 04, 2017 12:28 am**

"Mmmm, less 1982, more 2006." He replied sounding thoughtful.

"Basil Benson."

Posted: **Thu May 04, 2017 12:39 am**

He sat up and turned around in an oddly graceful contortion.

"Diego Zapata, at your service."

Posted: **Thu May 04, 2017 12:41 am**

"Had a lot of hero training Diego?"

Posted: **Thu May 04, 2017 1:30 am**

"No less than most of the current X-Men. Which means... no."

Posted: **Thu May 04, 2017 1:32 am**

"Well, there you have it. Just need more practice is all I should think.

You'll be pounding villains into marmalade in no time."

Posted: **Thu May 04, 2017 1:53 am**

"And I... did kind of bite off more than I could chew out there," he admitted.

Posted: **Thu May 04, 2017 2:03 am**

"From what I understand, so did most of you. The girl who warned us is in the infirm now.

I'm sure you did the right thing." Basil says as he routes around in the pockets of his peacoat and starts dumping things out on the roof surface.

Tiny Bombay Sapphire, Patron, and Grey Goose bottles. The kind one associates with airline drinking.

"What did the doctors say about alcohol?"

Posted: **Thu May 04, 2017 2:39 pm**

"Not a thing!" he grinned. "Thank you, great Booze Wizard," he added with a salute as he took one.

Posted: **Thu May 04, 2017 3:15 pm**

" Booze wizard maybe? Great is debatable." He laughed.

" I'd say I have more in common with Schmendrick than Gandalf, though I assure you no second-rate pickpocket skills were used in acquiring these." Basil picked out a gin and shot it back straight, having not brought anything to chase it with.

He didn't cough or choke at the alcohol. He'd done this before.

Posted: **Thu May 04, 2017 7:06 pm**

Diego knocked back half of the tiny bottle of Patron and only coughed a little. "Just a throat tickle. Nothing to see here," he lied.

Posted: **Thu May 04, 2017 8:02 pm**

"Pace yourself mate." He chuckled. " You have three to six college years to drink away. No need to have it all in one night."

Posted: **Thu May 04, 2017 8:39 pm**

"But who else will defeat the dastardly Professor Sobriety?"

Posted: **Thu May 04, 2017 10:24 pm**

"Me. That is my superpower after all.

Why did you think I got so many?" He counters in a playful tone.

"I can always use a sidekick however."

Posted: **Fri May 05, 2017 12:09 am**

"Catman is no one's sidekick," he said in a deep Batman growl, "He needs only the darkness."

"And gadgets."

"And a sweet ass ride."

Posted: **Fri May 05, 2017 12:14 am**

"I drive a Volvo, so i'm out. Guess I'll just have to fight this battle alone. Pity."

Posted: **Fri May 05, 2017 12:48 am**

"Catman will accept invitations from the Drunk Justice League."

Posted: **Fri May 05, 2017 12:56 am**

"Iiii suppppppoooossseee." Basil replied, then leant back to lay rather stiff looking on the roof, leaving the drinks out for Diego to have as his leisure.

"If you're Catman, who does that make me?"

Posted: **Fri May 05, 2017 1:21 am**

"Names are not one of Catman's skills. It's all Cat this and Ca..." he said before coughing and breaking character. "God that's tough on the vocal cords."

Posted: **Fri May 05, 2017 1:25 am**

"Tequila and deep vocal mockery is a surefire way towards permanent whiskey voice.

Upside: Birds dig it.

Downside: You have to start living in a trashcan and stealing other peoples' cold Heinz Beanz from their cabinet after you break in while they're away."

Posted: **Fri May 05, 2017 6:58 pm**

"Then I'd be Alleycatman... which doesn't have as nice a ring to it."

Posted: **Fri May 05, 2017 11:03 pm**

"Ahh, but everybody wants to be a cat."

Posted: **Fri May 05, 2017 11:48 pm**

"Except all those crazy dog people with their tiny outfits and baby talk."

Posted: **Sat May 06, 2017 12:41 am**

"They're just in denial mate. Deep, deep depressive denial filled with micro-costumes and animals that lick their bollocks then like their owners faces."

Posted: **Sat May 06, 2017 11:54 pm**

"They just can't admit they'd rather be able to just find a ray of sunshine to lay down in and just veg out like a Zen comfort master."

Posted: **Sun May 07, 2017 1:05 am**

Basil picked up another gin bottle, laughing.

"I hope one Patron was not enough to make you forget what time it is."

Posted: **Sun May 07, 2017 1:35 am**

"I didn't mean now," he chuckled, "That was just stargazing."

"Well, between your oppressive British clouds."

Posted: **Sun May 07, 2017 5:26 am**

"Well you have to admit, it's the only thing we have to oppress people with anymore. That means selling the hell out of it."

Posted: **Sun May 07, 2017 7:05 pm**

"Is that why so many of them look like Darth Vader?"

Posted: **Sun May 07, 2017 7:32 pm**

"Yes, and come accompanied by a John Williams score."

Chugalug, shot two.

After his drink. Basil continued to look up at the sky.

"You know, I suspected aliens could be real but after the whole time hole nazi invasion ordeal, I'm not as excited about finding that out as I thought I'd be." He admitted out loud.

Posted: **Sun May 07, 2017 7:46 pm**

Diego began on a second tiny bottle; vodka this time.

"Am I already drunk or did you just say 'time nazis'?"

Posted: **Sun May 07, 2017 7:55 pm**

"I said time nazis.

But in my instance it was more like time mongols."
