Hero = Hiro + Friends?

Kai crinkled her nose, nodding. “True, true. Even my sisters cook better. And both are banned from the kitchen.” Her sisters…at least they were too high profile and too careful with their abilities to snatch. Who knew what HYDRA would do with a pyrokinetic and a cryokinetic. “Ah, by the way, you may want to keep anything electronic away from me.”

"Electronic? Like they’d let me have more than this little guy," Hiro pointed out the robot he held in one hand, then continued, "When they don’t have me working on something." He paused and looked her in the eye, expression contemplative. "So you’re… what, a living EMP?"

"Not quite that simple." She sighed. "I haven’t gotten full control over it yet, but I drain energy from things. Usually electronics. Sometimes less…conventionally powered things." The one time she’d been near Chitauri tech had been harrowing. "Occasionally I dispel the energy, but again…not in control of it, really."

"Well," Hiro said, and grinned. "Tell me what you do know. I think I can work with it~" HYDRA would regret putting him and this girl in the same place, if he had anything to say about it. Regret and lose their current prizes. The teenager would honestly prefer the latter, but eh, at this point he'd take the first, too.

"Maybe that’s fortunate? It would rather suck being dead." She sighed and leaned back against a wall. "I’m an experiment that didn’t know she was an experiment and they apparently wanted what it turns out I can do." She wrinkled her nose.

"Maybe, but then I wouldn’t have to eat the food here," the lanky, not-entirely grown-into himself teenager pointed at, leaning back in his chair far enough that he was in danger of tipping over. "You have to admit that would be a plus."

"No," Hiro snapped back immediately, scowling. "No way. Not ever gonna happen. That stuff’s lame and inviting me to get my ass kicked.”

"Dude, canes are portable, legal weapons.” She raised a brow. “How can someone kick your ass if you’re kicking theirs?”

"Because I'd be an easy target," the boy huffed irritably. "I mean, sure I could modify it, probably, but it'd still look stupid."

"Because there’s no way I can memorize the layout of the entire city," Hiro grumbled and adjusted the glasses he had to use now for his good eye. "And these only help so much."

"Never said you had to memorize it. Figure out another way to kick the problem’s ass." Kaida shrugged. "Hell, you could try the bad ass cane routine."

"No," Hiro snapped back immediately, scowling. "No way. Not ever gonna happen. That stuff's lame and inviting me to get my ass kicked."

"Slowing down would be admitting defeat," Hiro said - and didn’t pout. Nope. No pouting at all.

"Who said you had to stay slow, kiddo?”

"Because there's no way I can memorize the layout of the entire city," Hiro grumbled and adjusted the glasses he had to use now for his good eye. "And these only help so much."

My muse has been kidnapped for experimental 'research.' After months of searching, yours has finally found mine. How does your muse react to the condition mine is in?

"No," Hiro responded, wrinkling his nose. "Didn’t… see it." Maybe combing his hair down over his bad side hadn’t been such a good idea after all.

"Ah. You might wanna slow your pace down a little then? Easier to catch yourself before you run into it that way.” She chuckled.

"Slowing down would be admitting defeat," Hiro said - and didn't pout. Nope. No pouting at all.

"Uh…you okay kid?"

"….You totally just did." She rolled her eyes. "Chewing gum?"

"No," Hiro responded, wrinkling his nose. "Didn't... see it." Maybe combing his hair down over his bad side hadn't been such a good idea after all.
