Fifth Floor Common Room, Monday evening

Bruce had gotten over his cold just in time to be transformed into a poor excuse for a ninja last night. He woke up on a park bench this morning in a damp ninja costume with a little bit of a headache.

It had not been a pleasant few days.

And that's why Bruce was in the common room tonight with a DVD (to avoid the horrors of the TV's hatred of him) of a meta for Zorro movie. Were there some negative associations there? Yes, of course. But he still loved those old movies. There was just something about a rich playboy dressing up in a mask and cape to help people in need that appealed to him.

He even made popcorn in case anyone else stopped in and wanted to snack during the adventures of one of the greatest fictional characters ever created.

"I always loved these movies when I was a child," Bruce said, allowing the subject change. "Somebody who's willing to put absolutely everything at risk to help people no matter the cost is usually an appealing hero in fiction."

Elphaba had to admit, that was appealing to her as well. "And he's fighting against a government that is wronging the people?" she asked. "That must be even harder. To be a rebel for good, it's almost unthinkable."

"Not really. It's happened all throughout history," Bruce said. "The movies are laughable in terms of historical accuracy, but the spirit of revolt in the name of freedom and right is actually reasonable."

"Perhaps in this world," Elphaba said. "I can hardly think of any rebellions in Oz. Even when the Wizard graciously took over for the royal line," she didn't quite believe the rumors that it was less than pleasant, "it was quite peaceful."

"Your home is lead by a wizard?" Bruce asked.

"The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, he's called," Elphaba said. "Though hardly anyone ever sees him. But he saw Oz out of the great drought, which was a hardship for us all. He's a good leader."

"A wonderful one, even," Bruce said.

He had doubts about anyone who had 'Wonderful' in his name.

"I didn't come up with the name," Elphaba said, making a little face. "No fair to make fun."

"I'm not making fun. I'm just being suspicious of anyone who would include something like that in his official name," Bruce mused.

"I don't think he chose it, either," Elphaba said. "But he came from the sky, which was something no one had seen before."

"What does 'he came from the sky' mean exactly?" Bruce asked.
