Super hero life can be a lonely existence at times. Sure, there're friends in the community that you see now and then. But it's not like there's super hero company picnics or Avengers-sponsored bowling nights. For the most part, you are out there by yourself doing your own thing. For the most part, the only time you see each other is when the really bad stuff is going down. But sometimes, just sometimes... you're there for the good stuff too. And those are the best parts.
