Bob. He was a strange one in your eyes. But oh how he got you to swoon for him without even knowing. Sentry, Void, and Bob. To you, they were just differences of sorts but Bob was just Bob. He wasn't Bobby or Robert. It was just Bob.

But one thing you shared in common was shit family. Especially shitty fathers.

You hated Bob's dad. Like Walker, you had hit Bob's dad the first time you met the damn guy.

Somehow, within months of knowing Bob, he had become so important to you that he became a sort of novacaine to you. He relieved your stress, your pain, and your general troubles.

He was your novacaine without even knowing.

Today was like any other. Your stress had gotten bad and you found Bob. You sat right next to him. Bob didn't say anything as you sat beside him aside from giving you a half-smile before going back to a Rubik's Cube he had been messing with.

Just sitting by him...

It calmed you.
