Bob is pretty determined to keep them safe, because they're both hopeless idealists, even before they discover Lyn-Z has a meta ability. (He was so pleased with himself for managing to get them out of the way of the Joker.) When they first met, though, he was pretty overwhelmed by the two of them. He tended to think of them as really bright, somehow, the way they smiled and laughed and talked like nothing in the world could break them.

I'm so glad you liked it, really. And no way could I ever kill Mikey. WAYS.
