[ Five gives Peter a knowing look. It's a lot easier to say that you can't let the bad stuff get to you than it is to actually avoid letting it get to you.]

You're welcome, I'm really impressed with you. I could've used whatever your coping mechanisms were when I was stuck in the apocalypse at your age.

[ He lifts an eyebrow with interest. It's a little bit surprising to him that Peter still feels grateful to Five for being here when he got back after he's adjusted. It's nice to hear, but a little surprising all the same. ]

I'm glad I could be here when you got back, too. We missed you, you know. Here's home now for you, though...right? Here with Prim and May and I? Because, frankly, as much as I hate to admit it, I got pretty attached to you, kid. I'd hate to see you go back to a place that turned so cold. You'll always have a place here. You know that, right?
