KICK NAMES / TAKE ASS.

               head, slightly tilted in uncertainty as you stare at the man in front of you. you know who he is, what he’s capable of but at the same time, from the little bits of emotion that seem to intertwine and weave themselves into your antennas. there is a lot of pain, an ache that even seems to seep into your own heart as you try to find some balance. for a man who carries so much sorrow, you only hope to change it up a little bit, add whatever bit of joy he has to the top, take some weight of his shoulders.          ‘     mr. iron man, when’s the last time you’ve been happy? i only ask because you carry a lot of heartache for a man who is not as old as he is believed to be.     ‘

           ‘     doreen!     ‘          a squeal of delight, cheerful as arms wrap around the girl’s frame, the sheer excitement at just being able to see your friend again. she had been kind as to teach you some simple social conversations and you couldn’t be more grateful for her help. the metaphors were a little much for you at the moment but you are thankful for her efforts.          ‘     i read about a spiny thing, a carousel. it’s so beautiful and colorful! wanna go with me? nobody else will, something about business and not to waste time. apparently, you’re allowed to get on it. please! come with me!     ‘

          ‘     hello there!     ‘          you’re staring at the woman in front of you in wonder and amazement, a light of sorts for you. it’s not often you meet others who seem to relax into how they look and from what you know, being ugly isn’t a terrible thing. but, oh, she is beautiful. you want to know more, to see more, to understand the woman who stands in front of you with an elegance that would have put ego to shame. you know power, feel it exude through the woman in front of you that it takes a moment and causes you to double back.          ‘     i mean you no harm, i promise. it’s just that     ––––––––––––     you are a woman, a source of power and it’s very clear you have a lot of strength but you do not hurt the ones underneath you. you support them, encourage their growth. i just wanted to tell you that they are very lucky to have you. i have people like that. everyone deserves a person like you in their life.     ‘         

          ‘     you look sad.     ‘          you remember what happens to people when they’re sad. they hide things. they bury them. the people that you travel with seem to do that a lot and there’s only so much help that you can hope to offer if they are not open to it. hand is immediate, straightened as she remembers the advice that you’ve been given. shake their hand. relax your powers because not everyone wants you in their emotions.          ‘     usually, when i’m sad, i picture the best memory you’ve had. whether it’s been with your friends or with people who meant something to you. here, you want to try it together? i promise you i have no plans to harm you. it’s just   ———— everyone deserves a little something to make them smile.     ‘        

          ‘     oh, hello!     ‘        eyes bright, welcoming, in awe of the woman in front of you. it takes a lot to get into your mind, reach past the barriers you’ve placed upon yourself after ego’s manipulation and the eventual comfort of your powers. hands, briefly folded in front of you are now waving at the blonde human, hoping to radiate ease and relief when being in your head. it’s not easy and it certainly isn’t something to navigate. it’s too bright, too hopeful, too honest. you happen to love it because it’s yours. the closest thing you have to what you believe is love.          ‘     it’s not easy to get in here and you look like you’re looking for something. is there something i can help you with?     ‘
