Summary
“Ordinary people will never accept you as one of them,” August continued. “Here,” he jostled my shoulder and I tried not to grimace, “you’re among equals. We could murder someone, and no-one would say a word.”
I looked up into his eyes. They were an intense, sickly blue, the light casting his face in a ghostly sheen. There was a manic gleam in his eye that unsettled me. I forced a laugh. “No way.”
“I swear.”

Summary
Somewhere up in the dark of the room, there’s a soft complaint of wood, a sound he knows is someone rolling over but trying to be quiet about it, followed by an exhausted, bone-deep sigh. By Freddy’s calculations, that makes ten sighs in the past fifteen minutes, which is way too high a sighs-to-minutes ratio.

Summary
You would think that having faced down a supervillain and the seven deadly sins themselves (look, he may not have faced down Envy, but since Envy was technically inside scary bald old man, that still counted, right?), homecoming would be nothing.
And yet, here they are, nearly a year into superheroing, the power of flight at his fingertips, and Freddy still wants to puke at the thought of asking anyone out.

“Hey,” Billy said. Freddy turned from where he was shoving clothes unfolded into his dresser.
“Yeah?”
“Doesn’t Rosa work every day?”
“Monday to Friday,” Freddy nodded. “Why?”
Billy frowned. “She was here with me all day.” Freddy stared at him, uncomprehending. “She should have been at work,” Billy pointed out.
Freddy scoffed, turning back to his overloaded dresser. “Dude, you were sick. No way she was going anywhere.”

Summary
Twelve years after going their separate ways as adults, Freddy still feels like his real home is wherever Billy Batson is. So he’d be down for saving the world together, if possible.
(Although, however--)
(It's complicated.)
