Let me in.
I don't got a son named Marky.
Marky moved to the fancy part of
town two years ago
and never came back.
Marky said he don't need no family
Ma there are people after me.
Just get in here.
And don't touch any of my shit.
Marky I mean it.
My superhero days may be
over but I can still make your mind
explode with just a thought.
Thanks Ma.
I missed you.
Don't give me that bullshit.
You in trouble.
No
It's not like that.
Well you've either gone active
or you're here to rob me.
Either way.
That shits made you paranoid.
Shit is the only thing stopping
those Nanos
from burning a hole through my
cortex.
Besides a little paranoia is worth
your discomfort.
Think I've got some coffee left.
I could put on.
Got that Omni processor working
again.
So we've got hot water
and power most of the time.
No, uhhh...
sorry I can't stay long.
I just came to check up on you.
Oh, God. Jesus.
Alright.
Um
listen I understand that
I haven't visited
that I have not kept in touch
but I've been working very
hard for you.
I'm important now.
I'm trying to be.
I'm on the cusp of something huge
and it's gonna bring a lot of
attention on me.
I do not want that attention on you.
I do not want that attention
on the kids.
And that's why you haven't got it.
I need a fuckin minute to
make sure that this works out my
way. I am so sorry
that I have not visited.
I love you.
Fuck you.
I
I'm trying my best to
be a good son
and I'm trying my best to do
good work for you.
I brought some meds for you
and the kids.
You've been trying to charm me since
the day I
met you boy.
Has it ever worked.
Uh
once or twice.
You think you can waltz in here
with this sweet smile.
And a few trinkets.
And I forget what you said to me.
How many times are we going to go
through this Marky.
I was hoping a couple of years are
hard living
would kill that snake inside your
soul.
Ma, I'm sorry.
If I could take back what, I said I
would take
back what I said.
Because I think about it every day.
I hope you have.
Because every morning I wake
up and I think about that little boy
that I pulled from a pile of bodies.
Telling me
I never loved you.
That memory is burned inside my soul
boy
and I am not a woman who easily
forgives.
Well the meds will help.
The kids need em.
Mom, look in
your eye.
You just never know when to shut the
hell up.
It's been harder getting the
treatments this far from the city
It's ok children.
It's just Marky.
Coming to pay a visit.
Marky!.
Hi.
Oh.
Hi Iris.
Hello you big giant hug monster.
Hi Jazz. Hi Jay.
Ma says you're a shithead now.
Uh oh
What's a shithead Marky.
Ha ha ha ha.
Yes I'm in the shithead virus.
Guys I need you go play
because I got to keep talking to mom
for another minute
okay.
I know that I can never take back
what
I said to you
and I know
that maybe
you're going to hate me forever.
But I'm just trying
to do what you taught me.
I'm just trying to survive.
Easy. Easy. Easy now.
You brought this mess down on my
babies.
Come on. Come on.
Where's the rat.
I'm gonna give you about three seconds
To get the fuck off my property.
We just need Marky
and we'll be on our way.
You see my two friends here haven't
had treatment in months.
They're just dying for a taste
of that fresh chow.
Three.
My mother used to tell me that no
situation
was impossible.
For a man wise to opportunity.
She taught me that every problem had
a simple solution.
If you set aside your emotion
long enough to find it.
She said that we had to stick
together to survive in a world this
mean.
Well look where that got her.
I guess you can't be right.
All the time.
