<em>Doc - Basement lounge bar</em><br/><br/>"There is no such thing as 'real' Kid."  Doc said straightening up.  "When I'm here, I enjoy hearing the sounds all around.  I like talking to people that come in and the eye candy of my co-workers certainly doesn't hurt either."<br/><br/>He reached for a bottle of water and set it on the bar, pushing it towards the kid.  "Now when I'm not here, this me doesn't exist.  Doesn't make me any less real, just makes things different.  Gotta accept that, you'll live longer, have more fun.  Plus no one around here likes it when you ask questions about who is 'real."  Doc smiled hoping that the kid wouldn't get too upset, thinking he was attacking the kid.
