A part of Danny really wanted to bail on this conversation. The part of him that kept thinking that if anyone found out about his secret identity, everything would be over. It was a strong desire, to just up and storm away. But another part of him, the part of him that hadn't had his friends to talk to about any of this... that part was itching to vent to someone.

He sighed, dragging his hand down his face. "Hypothetically. What if it's just easier to pretend to be a new superhero?"
