I've seen some pretty ugly things in my lifetime. Those things, death, pain, and loneliness, are permanently drilled into my head, keeping me awake and night, bouncing around in the silence of the night. I don't sleep because of it. Taking the time to sleep means taking the time to think about everything.
However, that means I have about six hours that I need to kill every night. It used to be that I'd just hang around town. Get a bite to eat, maybe pick up a girl. Then I met Argent...and figured out that she was living in the tower with those teen dorks. Hey, as long as you've got the codes for the tower programmed into your suit...
It's not as pervy as it sounds. Yeah, I go into her room. I make sure her roommate's off, probably screwing Kid Flash. Then, I sit and watch her sleep. Stupid as it sounds, I get into the room of the girl of my dreams, and I sit there. I watch her sleep, in a black tank-top and men's Superman boxers, lips slightly parted, curled up beneath a Nightmare Before Christmas blanket. Sometimes, she sleeps peacefully. Other times, she's plagued by nightmares, whimpering softly and body tensed. All I can do is stroke her hair, and make sure that she'll never see me if she wakes up.
I never waste my nights.
