Nice to meet you, too, Peter.

[ And he means it. Tim doesn't meet a whole lot of nice people these days. Assassins just aren't the friendliest, no mind for pleasantries at all.

It's good. To have someone like that around. The kind of memories you keep years and years later.

My family-- it started out pretty small, actually. Got a little bigger and crazier for a while there. All of us did our own thing, and we argued a lot, and man, my older brother could be a dick--

[ Ha. ]

--but...they were the ones that'd have my back when push came to shove. Used to, anyway. Flying solo, now.

[ He remembers a time when it was Dick on the other end of this line, when he hadn't thought twice about calling him. ]

But we had our moments, too.
