He blinked, then smiled at that. "Yeah. Anyone with half a brain can tell that you're moms favorite." He said, but then added. "But just by a fraction of a distance." Chuckling. She loved them all, but she always gave Diego special attention, or so Ben felt. Maybe it was just because he was so clingy to her that it appeared that way. Still, Ben liked it that way.
He smiled back, knowing that nothing will change. "Sure you will." He nudged the other, then chuckled on the others lips. "I was serious though, about maybe getting back into things. Helping like you do."
"It's probably because she's my favourite." His tone is teasing and he's definitely deflecting, trying to hide the embarrassment Ben's comment causes him. He's always had the softest spot for her and he knows she's always had a soft spot for him. She may have been designed and built and programmed, but she had feelings. She loved them.
"Yeah? Well, maybe we can look into it. Start you off with more simple things and work your way up."
Ben smiled about that. About Mom being his favorite. Everyone already knew it. Knew he was a bit of a mama's boy. It was part of what was so endearing about him. Had he not had that soft spot somewhere in there, he'd have been such a pain in the ass to deal with. Ben liked the soft spot. "She really is the best."
Ben snorted at that though, shaking his head and drawing back a bit, starting to pick up and clean up the med kit. "I used to be a superhero just like you. I think I can handle myself out there, Diego."
"Yeah, she is." He feels a little less like an idiot confessing this to Ben, as if it's completely safe to be this vulnerable in front of him. And maybe it is, because they're soul mates and isn't that part of it?
"I know that, Ben. But working as a team when we were kids is different than going out there on your own." Also, he'd died that time and Diego was still terrified it was going to happen again.
