He can't fly, and Ace keeps doing things alone so Marco's taking everything on himself, and faking that he has a handle on everything, but it doesn't seem to be enough. He looks up at her though, all determination just like adult Marco when he's being serious.] If I can help I want to. If there's something I can do in the future, I can do it now too. I'm a phoe-- Time works differently on me anyway, and I'm the second strongest person in the world. [Sort of. Second in command TO the strongest person in the world, but she doesn't know that. Probably.] So that still counts for everything, eh?
