Yeah... my powers are a real double-edged sword. They do bad things to me sometimes, but at the same time, without them I don't think I'd be Bridge. It would take away what makes me me- what makes me think the way I do, the way I understand and relate to other people.

[He laughs, softly and a little bitterly.]

It IS tough sometimes, but I can live with them. It's better than when I first got here and didn't know how to control them at all.
