I don't think we'd be able to do what we do if we didn't hold down a job too. There are resources for us if all we want to do is the hero thing, which some people do if they look too different to fit in with everyone else, but. [He shakes his head.] I couldn't do that.

[He wants his life. He wants to go to school and make a bunch of friends there, to have a career, to be able to support more than just himself with the money he makes. He wants fulfillment outside of being a superhero.]

Besides, who's the 'they', here? We can't ask for money from the people. And if we ask for it from the government, then we'd be working for them, and I think that option's already open to us, if we want it. [His smile is small but genuine as he shrugs.] The job's worth a few sacrifices.
