TBI? [Not to pry, but it is a little different if he means a head injury or if he means PTSD.]

[hypoxic]

Similar.

[He swallows hard.]

My symptoms are complications after I was drowned.

[deaddrop]

I'm sorry to hear that. It's tough.

[hypoxic]

I've learned to live with it. [HE shrugs, hoping to dismiss the issue.]

[deaddrop]

[She'll nod, not pressing further.]

Amazing what we can learn to live with.

[hypoxic]

It's manageable. But. Sometimes, there are challenges.

[deaddrop]

Being down here would challenge any of us.

[hypoxic]

It's. More complicated than that. There's the chance that I might set the community in danger.

[deaddrop]

Care to elaborate on that?

[hypoxic]

There've been incidents in the past. Breaking through dimensional walls isn't always a clean process.

[deaddrop]

That didn't clear up anything. At all.

[hypoxic]

I came close to erecting a portal, but it opened a gateway into something worse. People were hurt.

[deaddrop]

Not here?

[hypoxic]

Not here. Resources here are much harder to come by.

[deaddrop]

Where you were before then.

[hypoxic]

[He nods.]

For all the good that did.

[deaddrop]

I fail to see how this makes you more of a liability than anyone else.

[hypoxic]

When I try to help, people get hurt and die. That's inherently a liability.

[deaddrop]

You're not the only one who's had that happen, and it doesn't sound like it was because of something inherent in you. It could happen to anyone.

[It has happened to the Avengers.]
