   Summary

   "What do you mean you're bugging out?”

   “Like I’m not even supposed to get hurt, have godmode on, indestructible you know.”

   Gordon does in fact not know but nods anyway.

   “And now suddenly everything hurts and it sucks.”

    

   Benrey is back and doesn't have his powers anymore, angst and shenanigans ensues.
