That part now days is little and circumstantial. There's a lot more... to me than just that one part. I'm bones, organs, and flesh... I'm as human as anyone else. I possess no super powers- no more wearing spandex!" They laughed. "People tend to not see that. That's why it's so hard to meet anybody. They get hung up so bad on that one part." His thoughts suddenly drifted. "I remember back on how magical it was. If I had it to do over, I wouldn't change a thing." He hesitated, "I want them to love me, for me, not for who I used to be."
