Let me tell you a little bit about my family. It's a little more complicated than "after my folks died, I got adopted by some dude who dresses like a bat and has about a thousand hangups about the grieving process."

He's strong, and fast, and such a quick learner. He just needs to learn restraint. And. And he needs to know someone cares about him. That caring is even an option. And.
