Knowing Jeremy before they'd ever embraced their powers and donned the cape and mask meant knowing exactly when he was hurting, and exactly what to say to him to at least get the guy to laugh, maybe a bit. And that was good, because call it codependent, call it “a bit much”, call it crazy, but if Jeremy was unhappy, Michael was, too.

He called it being a good friend.
