"That's actually kinda awesome!"

Stefan listened to Broen talk. Hd didn't mind in the least. The details about her costumes and stunts. All of it was fascinating. It was good that he had someone there when he needed it. Everyone needed that at some point.

The question came and Stefan laughed a little. It was a two fold answer. Well....it was more than that but could be broken down easily.

"Well I was tired of only being 'Frejya's Boy' and not being known for anything I could do so I struck out on my own to find my mortal father. After finding him I kept having run ins with the law for supposedly drugging people. Only way they could explain how my singing caused visions. "

He shrugged a bit at the last statement.

"Fuckin yikes," Broen replied with a laugh, shaking his head as they went. "I never really had that kind of problem - biggest power related bullshit I ever had to deal with was some villains trying to taunt me cause I have no strength of my own. I must steal the strength from others!" He used his best Skeletor voice at that last part, rolling his eyes.

"Like. Me using their powers better than them isn't the scathing blow they thought it was. But hey, you're here now. Maybe that drug-song thing can do you some good now that you don't have to dance around the issue. You got any specific plans now that you're here, or are you just winging it?"

Stefan laughed at the impression. He wasn't sure where it came from but it was amusing all the same. He was very much in Broen's camp of not getting how that was a big bad insult, but then again, when you're on the losing end of things, people tend to do what they can to salvage pride.

"Yea that makes no sense. Uh...I guess I'm more winging it. No real plan set in stone. Kinda hard to make plans when you make the.....3rd....4th... person I've met here."

Before giving a number Stefan countered quickly on a single hand trying to recall his few encounters.

"But I'm thinking of the whole singing thing, got an ability to put out illusions while singing why not use it?"

"Singing sounds fine. I mean, I kinda went the same route. They were nice enough to test me and reissue me a culinary degree, so I might as well make use of it. I work down at the Bear Claw Cafe as a patissier."

Broen waited a beat, knowing full well that his appearance and mannerisms didn't at all match up with someone who made delicate pastries for a living. "But hey, I haven't officially met many people yet either. Mostly coworkers, or a few people that mistook me for someone else. You'll get there, is what I'm sayin'. Just take your time. Enjoy yourself, take your time."

Stefan pursed his lips together approvingly and nodded a little as Broen spoke of getting his degree back. It didn't seem the figure standing before him was a qualified chef, but that was far from the strangest thing that he had seen or heard since coming to the island.

"Oh yea. I'm sure I'll get along fine. I'm never really ever out."

A chuckle came to his lips. His mind circled back to Broen mentioning they RE-issued his degree to him. Hopefully it wasn't too touchy of a subject, because Stefan was about to bring it up.

"You said they re-issued your degree? What happened to it initially?"

"Oh it's nothing serious. I'm just not from the Earth Manta Carlos is attached to. I kinda came here by accident, so I didn't exactly bring my credentials with me. Would have sucked to have to go all the way through school again just to be right back where I was before. I've been in worse scrapes, but I'm in unfamiliar territory without my team or any way of calling in backup. So I'll take whatever handicaps I can."

Stefan raised his eyebrows and blink a few times behind his mirrored sunglasses. This was a first for him. Then he remembered from his travels that people had talked about different universes existing all at once.

"Wait...like an alternate universe or whatever it is?"

He was actually genuinely curious. Was there another him out there in a different universe? Was that how all this worked?

"And yea having to start all the way over would have sucked hard."
