Zero: Allow me to fill you in,Leonardo.
Leo:That's cool and all. And… This may come across like a stupid question. It may be but …. Where the hell did you come from ?!

Leo: Yeah,that explains so damn much! No more hardcore parkour,Porter *Chuckles*

Zero: *Coughs and changes the hospital room to the beach* I'm the author of this story. I created everything here including yourself. Now that you can see me and them.This means the limits of your character have been broken.
Leo:So,basically I have control of nothing in my life because you made this all up. How come you didn't make my dick bigger ?! *Looks down*
Leo:*Close up panel of the serious face*:
If this is all really true then because I now see the world as it really is then I'm becoming free of the rules which means…*Grabs sand and transforms it glass*

Leo: I didn't think this all the way through but let's try this!! *Raises hand*
Leo:*Floor becomes bouncy similar to the jumping scene in The Matrix and lands*: I gotta work on my superhero landings!
Zero: *Appears in front of Leo* I stopped time around us all so the world doesn't see a child jumping to his death.
Leo:*Chuckles*: Thanks,dude. I got a bit excited and didn't think about all of that. It's just 1 big comic book,who cares,right ?!
Zero:If it were only just that,my boy! By the way,your eyes will adjust to the changes of the world in time.
Zero: I'll be keeping a close eye on you,Leonardo. Just look up. *Fades away and time unfreezes*
Leo: What a time to be alive,huh?! *Holds head*
Random bystander: *Yells*:Put some damn pants on!!
