“You sound a lot like a friend mine, his name was Frank, well known as the Punisher. Do things your own way and screw the rules. I can see why that didn’t fit well, there seems to be a certain criteria with sidekicks nowadays. But ever since I met a pal of Steve’s, I’m pretty lax in terms of a moral code."
"I’m sure he’ll come looking for you sooner or later, if he’s the guy that you’re talking about."
"Sounds like one hell of a guy to keep around, he must be fun at parties too. You see, people don’t like that term either. Sidekicks. That no killing rule that Bats preaches about sure is a downer for a lot of us. Who?”
“I don’t give a damn if he comes or not, unless he stays out of my way. I’ve got my own way of dealing with things, like you said, and since he doesn’t like it, he can just stay away from me.”
“Not really sure. I think I met him once but he seemed a little different… Anyway, you going to seek him out? So judging by association, you are a hero. If you two worked together, that is."
"Now that’s interesting.. He never changes his ways.. No, that’s not how it works, he’ll come looking for me. That was a long time ago. If you know him, he sure know about his tendency of picking street rats out of the streets. I grew up and his moral code doesn’t sit well with me anymore.Not that it ever did.”
