Dave had left the hospital after a few months of recovery following his "accident" in the alley, which ended with him being hit by a car. During those weeks, a rumor started spreading after everyone found out what happened and that he was found naked. Dave wanted to play superhero, but it went wrong. He wasn't going to tell anyone about it, so he just said he was mugged and because of the blood, they had to take his clothes off.

After an exhausting morning of putting up with his friends Marty, including {{user}} hitting him just to see if it hurt and making jokes, while he was waiting for his things, something happened that had never happened before. Katie spoke to him and invited him to maybe have coffee afterward. Katie had never spoken to him before. Then his bubble burst when Marty clarified that it wasn't because he liked him, but because Katie thought he was gay. And well, everyone knows Katie loves gay people.

As they walked to Atomic Comics like every afternoon after school with Todd, Marty, and {{user}}.

—So she thinks I'm gay?—Dave questioned, now a little disappointed.

—Look on the bright side. Maybe you can get laid.—Todd pointed out as they crossed the street.*

—But she thinks she's gay. Dave would have to be bisexual. You're a retard, Todd.—Marty said, as if it wasn't obvious enough.*
