[video] I did the calculations. This was the best route for maximum feels.

Getting hit by that train isn't exactly my idea of fun, but if I remember something because of it, then I guess I can't complain too much. Or, uh, mostly, anyway.

Well...the good news is, I remember that Booster and I are from the same place. Sort of explains why we're both in the JLS, heh. I guess Metropolis and Amity Park aren't that far from each other!

[He lets the 'bad news' portion of the post hang uncomfortably.]

((OOC: 1% on what AF so eloquently describes as "Booster punches himself in the face and then blows himself up with a nuclear sub." The other 2% to come later.))

Along for the ride? Danny, would you just explain exactly what happened already? I'm a big boy, I can take it.

[He sighs, sounding almost exasperated.]

Fine.

I was--well, you were--okay. I think I was kind of...possessing you at the time, because I remember it happening to me but everyone kept calling me "Booster." And for some reason there was a nuclear sub in the middle of the city, so I-as-you jumped in, and Supernova was there too. And, well, we--uh, you and he--didn't get along too well. And, well...the nuclear sub was going to blow up so I--you--whatever! went and tried to contain it and...died doing it.

So there.

[He looks down at the floor once he's done talking, because it's too hard to look at him after admitting that he ended up killing the guy.]

[Booster's quiet for a while, lost in thought. It matches up with what he remembers from Supernova's perspective, so it's not really news to him, except for Danny being there. He'd assumed before that it was part of Rip's plan, but if Danny was involved, maybe it wasn't? Maybe he really did--no, that was stupid, he couldn't be Supernova if he died, right? So it's really not anything to worry about, but, well. He can't really tell Danny that. So let's. Focus on something else. Booster pinches the bridge of his nose in irritation.]

Why the hell would you be possessing me?

I-I don't know, I didn't remember that part!

[canthandleacape]

You got me killed and you don't even know why?

[Booster: helping.]

[action]

[gogoghostpowers]

No... [he sighs.] Sorry. Besides, even if I did remember, it wouldn't help much--it couldn't have been a very good reason.

[canthandleacape]

Couldn't have been too bad of one, either, if you didn't bail when things went south.

[action]

[gogoghostpowers]

Maybe. But I still got you killed. ...or something.

[Booster runs a hand through his hair.]

Look, I'm obviously just fine here, so don't worry about it too much, alright, kid?

[action]

[gogoghostpowers]

Yeah, I just-- [exasperated sigh.] I just wish I had at least some idea what happened there. I remember it, but it still doesn't make much sense.
