Was it Kabal? Because Kabal's always saying stupid shit. We don't really take him seriously.

[He's half joking, but also Joe doesn't really seem like the sort who Gets jokes, so he's just gonna roll that back a bit.]

Okay, the only poking or prodding I would do at all would be because I'm trying to help you with your condition. I can't promise medical procedures aren't going to be a little painful, but nobody's going to hurt you, nobody's going to take you apart. If anyone does want to, they're gonna have to go through me first.
