Because the thought of explaining the whole thing, verbally, just makes him tired. He's pretty sure he'd run out of energy to do it halfway through if he tried.
Right. Skip to the end, and answer exactly the question. It really isn't even avoidance it's just. so. much. ]
[If Scott wanted him to have the full context, he figures it would have been offered. Just like he's pretty sure without having been there, he can't really grasp the situation, just like Scott can't fully understand what Jesus has been through. He takes the answer as given.
Your people are always a good reason to keep going.]
[He shakes his head, smiling a bit at just how abrupt it all is. Scott was in prison. Now he's in an eternal sex city.]

Sure. Just don't expect a whole lot from me immediately, though I can tell you that the Creator probably has some kind of psychic working for him - or is some high level of telepath. So be careful.
[Fair enough. He won't press.] Well, going after the Creator sounds like it's out of my paygrade right now anyway. I'm still figuring out how the ground floor works.
[ For him. It'll keep Wade busy, probably, and he's... probably going to draw the line with Jesus and stop at having supplied two guns before it becomes a situation that might draw attention to them but he'll work on it.]
I do. They were turned off briefly in the aftermath of an...incident, but otherwise as far as I can tell they're operating normally. I need to do something about that soon, actually.
No. The force beams are continually... produced by my body. The glasses or visor stops the discharge, not the production. They are incredibly powerful. I have methods of limiting them and still using them to varying degrees, but there are fewer opportunities here.
