Wanna know the best part about my job?
It's not the comments of citizens who are obviously subscribers of the Daily Bugle. Hell, it's not even Jonah.
It's not the enormous hospital bills I have to pay, and the lies I have to create about my injuries.
It's not the bullcrap I have to put up with for just doing the right thing.
It's not the multiple beatings by megalomaniacs that I get on a daily basis.
It's the complete opposite of these things, as you could have guessed. It's when I see the smile of a life that I saved, and it's when I get thanks, and when I get a hug. I don't ask for much--but a hug is always nice.
That's right, Jameson--I got a HUG! Beat that.
I really don't ask for much, though, do I? None of us do. The Fantastic Four are a non-profit organization(I learned that the hard way when I asked to join them and get a salary). The Avengers, no. Dare Devil? Nope, not him either. None of us do.
All we ask for is respect and gratitude, though we ask it rarely and modestly. No--not even thanks. We just want people to know that what we do is good, and that we're not menaces that fake this stuff for the glory. Tell Jameson that the next time you egg his office building.
