Second Floor Common Room, Wednesday Afternoon
Fact the first: Gert had gone out this afternoon in search of one (1) sandwich.
Fact the second: Someone (a bartender? Gert hadn't caught his (her?) name, but he (she?) had hair tucked into a baseball cap and seemed very drunk) had been racing around a town with two garbage bags that held a combined two hundred bagels.
Fact the third: Evidently running away from a pursuer, who Gert assumed was the owner of the bagel store, Baseball Cap had thrust one of the bags at Gert and yelled at her to take it and run.
And so it was that a baffled Gert hauled a massive bag of about a hundred bagels up the stairs through town and up to the second floor common room, at which point she proceeded to dump the bag on the counter and collapse on the couch with a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese.
What. The hell.

Which meant Victor really couldn't argue with what she'd said.
"Okay, but how come you do it? Or any of us? We could, like, hang out in foster care or whatever and decide L.A. is not our problem."

"Not a superhero," Gert corrected him reflectively, not that he'd actually used that word, "but... I don't know. It's definitely not just because I have a dinosaur and so I can help out, though. If I didn't, and everything else from the past year had still happened the way it did, I'd probably still be doing it."
Which made an argument against powers being a lock-in factor for a career in heroism, as far as she was concerned.
"What about you? Why do you do it?"

"Sorry if this makes you want to puke," he began, "but I do believe people are here for a reason. And I promised my mom to help keep people safe, and I want to keep that promise. And ... I dunno. I just like it."
