So um... I've been thinking about this for a while. Ever since we left Harrub, actually...

[ He grimaced a bit, pausing for a couple of seconds. Glancing off to the side, before taking a breath, and addressing the camera again. ]

But um, after the whole Murderworld thing... it's kind of become clear that some of us aren't... handling things that well... [ He was thinking about Videl specifically, but the anon meme has also made it clear Videl wasn't the only one. ] I know we all took the oath for various reasons, and we probably all expected different things out of becoming a superhero. But um, some of us probably didn't expect this... so...

... With the whole "Legionnaire Legacies" thing coming around the corner, I think we should... [ Another pause, as he tries to figure out how to phrase this. ] ... um... I guess, share our lives with each other? To make sure we're prepared, in case... in case the news digs up stuff about us, and tries to drag us through the mud with it.

[ This is so weird and strange and against everything Gohan knows. He's usually the most secretive person in the world, but... he's kind of had to cope with having an open identity, so might as well go all in. ]

I guess um, I should go first? My name's Gohan, and... if you have any personal questions for me, I'll be happy to answer them...

Crystal told me it nearly wiped out the Skrulls. Even the Kree never managed that.

[And then there was the Cancerverse, which managed to be even worse.]

I thought I was a huge bleeding heart, but this total freakout about killing is weirding even me out. It's like. Evil Mar-Vell-level obsession with life above all else.

I can't say I disagree with the Legion's rules on it, especially in a galaxy with a fairly decent justice system, but even their rules allow for self defense or defense of others.

I think they're just spoiled because the Legion's had to fall back on that so infrequently.

[It sounds like a terrible thing to say, but it's what he thinks.]

They're not used to facing as much hardship, as often, as some other universes do. So they're not used to the pressure it can put on people to survive, and the natural consequences that happen when heroes face villains that are just that bad.
