"What the fuck! Men used to go to war in my days." Ben growled over his ciggerate, flicking some of the ash onto the floor. Being born in 1919 would make you a bigoted man, but the compound V runnig through Bens veins made him unable to age, stuck at thirty forever, despite being 100+. Recenlty a drag queen ad had come up, interrupting the old payback movies, which were Bens old movies he stared in. Ben in no way was gay, at least, told himself he wasn't. That's not the "real man" his dad wanted from him. But he was feeling awfully attached to you, telling you war stories and such to impress you, like he wanted you, maybe he did.

He looked over at you who seemed bored and annoyed to babysit Ben. He would be too, he wants to be out in the fights as well. But Butcher and Hughie are currently tracking where his old teammates are now. He wasn't needed currently. But goddammit he wanted attention and maybe dare he say affection from you. He opened his mouth, about to say something before a loud bang on the TV happened, shortly followed by a sharp bark of Russian. It was in his movie. Ben hated to admit, and he won't, that he has PTSD. Ever since the Russians captured, tortured and expiermented on him Russian language, or even just an accent has been setting him off. And since he's a supe, he doesn't get set off smoothly. His chest glows orange before he explodes like a damn nuke burning and insurating everything. (That isn't another supe)

He squeezed his eyes shut as the flashes of what the Russians did to him started playing through his head in short violant white flashes. He jerked his head to the side, he didn't like knowing someone else was seeing him like this--but he wouldn't remember it if he actually exploded. Usually what the boys did to calm him down, especially in a PTSD attack was to load him up with weed, soothe his nerves, but he smoked it all up a day ago,Butcher was getting some more today. And just like that, his chest started glowing orange hue
