[What Widowmaker doesn't know is just how badly Asher needed to hear that. All his friends here, save for two or three people maybe, are from worlds where the fantastical is possible. At the young ages of 15 through 18, they have all encountered incredible obstacles, and succeeded, something he's sure he never could have done. She may have blue skin but there is something about her words that soothes him, an underlying tone of understanding. He can't quite place her age, but there's an air about her that suggests she is older, that she has had life experience.

But it's frustrating, you know? Like, we're part of this team too. We're trying! Gettin' into fistfights isn't the only way to solve our problems.

And god, it seems like most of the time...? It just makes matters worse! Like there are so many dunces on this team who blow shit up or destroy things without thinking about what it'll do for the people who actually have to live with the damage.

And I dunno, that really fuckin' pisses me off.
