When you "eat" all the energy from a nuclear dirty bomb, then explode yourself and crash land in a crater after being caught by your boss (who you were pretty sure still hated you, despite the fact that he saved you?) the hospital tended to prescribe some physical therapy. Walking, stretches, other exercises, all designed to get Tim's muscles moving the way they were supposed to. He was still on mandatory medical leave, and on top of that the scare he'd given those he considered family in all ways but officially meant that he wasn't allowed to go out by himself until he'd gotten a clean bill of health.
That was all right. He didn't mind spending more time with Adara.
"I'm sorry I scared you. The whole thing with the timer and stuff... Yeah that was, that was stupid."
Adara and he had just started walking aimlessly in a direction from his apartment, not really planning on a destination, just getting steps in, limbering up his muscles. He was explicitly forbidden from flying until he got a clean bill of health for walking first. He gripped her arm both for a little support, just in case, and just to take comfort in being with her.
"I just wanted to make sure I had some way to say goodbye if something happened, and... well I wanted to do it myself. Put it together with my own two hands. Putting it on a timer though... that was dumb. Next time I'll just put it on like a flash drive or something and give it to you or Alice or Ivan."
The sidewalk changed color slightly as they entered the residential areas of Liberty Heights, and Tim started recognizing landmarks.
"Oh. Oh shit we're... do... would you come with me to see my parents? I didn't expect to end up down here but here we are and I'm realizing how long its been since I visited and... yeah."
