It sure did seem like it was, since we almost became one giant space tragedy.

[ but after a moment, he sighs and asks ]

alright, I'll bite, why not?

[precedented]

We're not on the Space Titanic.

[ He shrugs. ] Call it a feeling.

[benames]

....What do statics have to say about your feelings? I mean, are we on the safe 98% that you're probably right? because anything less than that and I might allow myself to seriously freak out.

[ said with a bit of a smile, he doesn't doubt so much as he worries. ]

thanks, man. I guess I needed to hear someone say we're not gonna die or be eaten or both.

[precedented]

I don't know. I've never measured it against events. But it hasn't let me down.

[ Leto smiles back. ] I am glad to have helped.

[benames]

[ he offer a fist. go ahead leto, bump it ]

hey man, I gotta ask you something. You have about a hundred and eighty different superpowers.

[ we all know it's true ]

I mean, are you cool with them all?

[precedented]

[ He bumps it lightly though his expression is pensive. ]

I am not. I rather not have any of them. Most of my powers are really just skills - abilities that have passed themselves onto me.

My only power, the one that allows me to see the future and past . . . I could do without.

[benames]

So - how do you deal with having them? I mean, so many people want powers but what if...you just want them gone?

[ in all honesty, he'd rather be simply Cisco rather than the Vibe any day. ]

[precedented]

[ He tilts his head at that. ]

Your powers do not define you. They are simply an extension of you. I am Leto before I am anything else. Powers, status, ability.

[benames]

But what if there was another you and he was - he had the same powers but he didn't use them for good?

[ is it another him, a mirror image, a side that he won't admit to? he's not sure, himself. ]

I guess I'm not sure. I mean, how can you really know?

[precedented]

Then that is his choice, not yours. That's where the resemblance ends, Cisco. You cannot conflate yourself with a mirror image simply because there are some similarities.

You are the one who chooses. Not other worlds, not predestined fate.

[benames]

The guy who gave us all these powers did believe in fate. Though I guess the whole thing bit him in the ass since he his existence was erased.

[ and yet, what it all comes down too seems to be the very fact that, ]

I don't know what to do.

[precedented]

Then start with another question.

What would you like to do?

[benames]

I dunno.

[ truthfully ]

how do you figure something like that out?

[precedented]

It takes time, for sure.

But I find that there's always a moment in time, a tipping point that diverges us. What makes us different from, say, an evil doppleganger.

When the time comes, I'm sure you'll do the right thing.
