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.
