Dan stood wearily in the living room next to a set of weights. He'd been lifting again and had lost a bit of weight, not much, but enough that people noticed.
He had the TV on in the back ground with the news, going as he lifted.

"Aww, now you're gonna make me feel insufficient," said Megan, entering with an ice cream sandwich.

"If I'm going to continue running around roof tops and getting these-" he pointed to a bruised shoulder "-I'm going to have to be able to take it better."
He set the weights down and stretched his back.

"New Year's resolution- size twelve by next Halloween. But still ice cream sammiches."
She sat down.
"Anything interesting on?"

"Good luck" he replied sincerely as he laid on the floor to do some crunches "just the news, there was a couple Christmas movies on, but I wasn't exactly in the mood to deck the halls."

"Nope, but we do have subtitles, it's badly translated, but it works" he clicked a button on the remote and a black bar started across the bottom of the tv.

Megan leaned back and channel surfed.
"Sports, sports, public access, sitcom- whoa wait Dan I think I saw-"
Megan sat up abruptly and turned back to the previous channel and started reading off the subtitles.
"-schach, identified as American Walter Ko- is it KO-vax or ko-VOTCH- oh, who cares- Charenton Asylum- oh my God, Dan, they've got Rorschach-"
The screen briefly flashed an image of a dull-expressioned middle-aged man with a shock of red hair.
"Dan, is that him-"

Dan turned staring very sternly at the television "Megan, I've never seen his face."

Dan continued staring at the television as the face slowly transformed in to a video of a police struggle with "-Rorschach."

"...oh Jesus."
Megan stood up and put the rest of her ice cream sandwich in the freezer and then hurried back out.

He slumped down in to his couch and sighed "Well it was bound to happen."

"What are we going to do?" Dan laughed "Well we're going to have to break him out, obviously."
