[Santo is actually okay with Raph being a few minutes late. It gives him time to climb up to the rooftop more carefully and not look like the destructive dumbass he can tend to be. Even though Raph already knows he's not graceful at all when it comes to scaling tall buildings.]
What's up, bro? [Santo grins a little, holding out his fist for a bump, because come on, you gotta.] Yeah, I, uh... Was caught in one of those tunnels we weren't supposed to go into. Apparently I was slated for execution too, until some lady pulled me out. [He shrugs. A lot of questions were asked then, and he only ended up with more questions instead of answers.]
That's what the lady who helped me escape told me. Some of us were supposed to be an example of what happens when you piss off the Emperor or something. [He shrugs again, looking out over the city. He doesn't really... feel that bothered by it.] She could have just been lying to me though. I mean, come on, how does that lady think she's gonna execute me of all people?
Great, so magic Emperor chick is a psycho magic Emperor chick who beheads people for fun. Awesome.
[Wow he's really glad he and Don dodged that bullet, especially since he'd been responsible for landing them in prison in the first place. If his fuckup had gotten Donnie killed...]
Did you know that apparently the whole reason she brought us here was so we could fight her, like, dream enemies?
[Okay then. Unconfirmed information is still information, just...possibly false.]
This old guy called Hellboy. Looks the part. He told me that she dragged us all here, and this is some kinda dream world for real, and that we're fighting like. Bad feelings or whatever, I don't even know.
I don't know either, dude. All I got from that woman is that the Emperor brought us here to fight, and that somehow she controls how we end up here... But that she might not actually be choosing who arrives.
[He only has more questions.]
Does that mean the crazy zombie apocalypse a few weeks ago... She might have been the cause of that?
I wanted to see if you heard the same thing. [Or knew it. Because Santo is now included in Raph's circle of People Who Know What the Fuck Is Up. Hellboy, like any other stranger, is not.]
You know everything that I do now, man. I've got not idea what we can do with all this information, but... Hey, you were right about needing to punch the Emperor's face in.
[He smiles just a little bit.]
Dude, like she even could execute me. She takes off my head, and I'd just pick it up and chuck it at her.
I don't know, dude. Probably psychics... Definitely psychics. [He probably shouldn't be telling anyone his one big weakness. It says a lot about his trust in Raph.] Maybe gravity too.

The same thing happened to you?

I got the part that she's bringing us here to fight for her, but I didn't... Get the lowdown on what the enemies actually were.

[The rest of that sounds familiar. So apparently there's either a great conspiracy going on here or Hellboy was telling the truth.]
Either that, or it's all crazy crap that happens here that we're left to deal with, 'cause apparently she can't do it on her own.

It seems like people have been building lives without knowing why they were here in the first place.

Me and my brother, we can handle psychics. [Actually, just Donnie can. Also Mikey maybe, if he can focus long enough, that dumb kid.]
You need any help with 'em, I'm there. [He knocks his fist against his plastron.]
