(Eddie squints at Kurt rather suspiciously. 'Inappropriate' could constitute as 'weird', he supposes, but he more or less doesn't believe Kurt right off the bat. Except he does quickly enough because heroes usually meant well.

So his suspicious look drops away and he gives a decided nod.)

All right. If you say so.

(It was a blessing that this was the one Loser who wouldn't insist on the tail thing. Eddie would drop it for now instead.)

You ignore them? And that helps? (Eddie had tried ignoring Henry Bowers most of his life and that never got him anywhere. Some people were only provoked more by being ignored. He couldn't really imagine people ever leaving him alone. People really liked telling Eddie what they thought about him, whether he was a freak for his hypochondria, or a sissy because he was too small and sweet, too nice for a boy, too delicate, and too many other things that Eddie still didn't know how to change about himself.)

A hero in training is still a hero.

(Look at Eddie gape in wonder becauuuuse that is the coolest- man! People on this ship were awesome.)

No way!! You've gotta show me that sometime. In person. That is so kooky and neat!

(It looked just like he'd expect a comic book hero's costume to look. Which makes it ten times as exciting for Eddie.)

A codename, really? Do I get to know what it is? I promise I wouldn't tell anyone-. (Not that it mattered. After all, Kurt couldn't exactly disguise the whole...Blue thing.)
