Hey, y'all. I been thinking about some stuff lately - about powers. I don't have any and I never did, except for Admiral powers and except for one time when I thought I had some of my own - but that's another story.

They're just kinda all over the place here, I noticed. Arthas had his, and he tried to kill the whole Barge. And I know wardens hurt people with their powers sometimes. I've seen it. And we got inmates who don't have any powers at all, but still hurt and kill people. It's like I was telling someone earlier - it ain't like the Barge is safe when inmates have powers, and dangerous when they don't. It's a lot more complicated than that.

I got two inmates I been talking to, Lourdes and Pietro - and they want their powers back 'cause they don't feel right and whole without 'em. And I don't blame 'em, if I'm gonna be real honest. I maybe would have, before I was a warden, but now I got a different perspective. We're letting parts of people be locked away, and how's anyone supposed to trust us if we do that and don't care?

But maybe it ain't right to just give 'em back without thinking about it, neither - 'cause some of the powers are dangerous, and all of us'd be affected if something happened. So we decided that since they don't got wardens of their own, we're gonna talk to the whole Barge about it and see if any of y'all got objections. Or-- or questions or concerns. Stuff like that.

Pietro's got super speed, and super senses so he can see things okay when he's using his super speed. Lourdes can control people's bodies, and their minds, and even the chemicals inside 'em. Now, that's a whole fucking lot - so she's mostly what I wanna talk about today, I guess. We got Iris and Jean and all those guys who can protect people from stuff like that, but it can still be dangerous. So we're asking you.

Everybody gets a say.

[filtered to Lourdes]

if you get em back i want to talk about how your gonna use em ok

I'm giving Lourdes her powers back - but only when she's in the Enclosure with me. Now, I don't think she's gonna hurt me - but if she does, I don't want any of y'all hurting her back, okay? I ain't saying no punishment, or no being mad. Just no torturing or murdering or nothing. Thanks.

Well, I did say I didn't plan on retiring.

If I can help here, then it's worth being here.

No more or less than I like it anywhere else, really. I've met some amazing people here. People I'm glad I've met.

My family's here. And my duty is here, right now. That's what makes a place home, to me.

Yeah. You've met Bucky Barnes, right?

We're not related by blood. But he's still the only family I've got.

Nah, we're both orphans. But we grew up together and he's always been there for me, since the day we met.

[He's the reason Steve's here.]

Maybe? I guess I don't actually know what a prison family is like.

Nah, I only call him ma when he's getting on my nerves.

But really, he's my family, even if we didn't have the same parents. I'd do anything for him. I owe him everything.

Yeah. I lost him for a couple of years. It was the worst feeling in the world.

[Steve doesn't want to say too much, but he's said this much on the network before:] He was a prisoner of war.

But I thought he was dead. And then I wasn't around to look for him.

[That's okay. There really isn't.] Thanks. I'm just glad he's got friends here for him, you know? I think it's better for him here than back home.

He's a good guy. He's the best guy I know.

He could use a friend like you, I think.

[Somebody who's not Steve.

Now, though, he switches this over to PRIVATE.]


Someone who won't push him. Who doesn't remind him or ask him what happened, and just... lets him be him, if that makes sense.

He's not big on talking, but you don't have to talk a lot to be friends. You're kind, and caring, and you don't judge people based on what they've done. I think he could use that right now.

That's okay, as long as you don't mind if he doesn't. I don't think he minds listening.

Thank you. That means a lot to me.
