[spoiler]I just said his name, lol[/spoiler] "[b]Charmed, eh?[/b]" Eddie raised an eyebrow inquisitively, but seeming unfazed by her appearance. Maybe after what he'd been through today, she wasn't all too strange. "[b]Well it's nice to see you Alpha, but you don't seem all that enthusiastic about being here. Anything I should know about this place?[/b]"

"That if you're here to continue doing what you just did, you'll lose your life, or a few limbs." She said deadpan

"[b]Well, somebody has to do it. Might as well be me.[/b]" He said, equally deadpan. "[b]And anyways, this place is full of some of the best fighters in the universe. So how can thieves like that-[/b]" he pointed in the vague direction of his fight with Rose, "[b]-be able to get away with crimes in broad daylight? If I could stop her, I'm sure it wouldn't be so hard for some literal demigod to stop her.[/b]"

"Because many of the 'demigods' here are men and women and boys and girls and everything else who do good because it's fun. As such, they don't always do what is expected, their duty." She said, gesturing to the burnt out Dojoville. Her hand had intermittent tremors, most likely brought on as a remnant of her time at the ASF holding facility. "They stand by and let others act, for better or worse."

Eddie noticed the tremor, but decided not to put much emphasis on it. Instead, he looked out past her, towards the burned out wastelands that she referred to. “[b]Then somebody’ll have to show them how it’s done.[/b]” he said resolutely. “[b]Y’know, where I’m from, nobody did anything when a fascist dictator rose up, and threatened the lives of everyone in the city. Nobody stood up to the Rebels that were just as misaligned as the government they wanted to overthrow. Why should they? It was a hopeless battle. But sometimes, those are the ones worth fighting for.[/b]” He looked back at Alpha, as if he somehow knew who she was, and what she’d been through. His words eerily echoed her own. “[b]So yeah, maybe I won’t be able to protect everyone here, or stop the crime everywhere I go. Maybe I’ll get gunned down, or beaten up. At the end of the day, I’m alright with that. Because I fought when nobody else would.[/b]”

"You're as bad as I am. I tried. I tried to stop the tide of misguided justice from the rebels and the hate and the sadism from the ASF It got me nothing but pain and suffering." She said, shaking her head "Fighting does little to nothing if it's just you."

“[b]We’ll see about that.[/b]” Eddie shouldered his things once more to leave, but as he turned to go, he looked over his shoulder to say one last thing. “[b]The ASF lost, Alpha. That only happened because of people like you.[/b]”
