A scientist's "Heroic" son

Thus he passed the watch around his wrist. “How does it look on me? Oh, wait, I still have a part of your gift to give you.”

"I don't get it, there's nothing there." he commented, it was obvious nothing was there, but he wanted to make sure. "Or, are you planning on showing me something?" he asked, crossing his arms and tapping his foot and was silent.

Not for long, though, because as soon as he offered the watch to him, he took it, marveling at the design under the dim light, in a grave, silent- but cheerful- judgment. Until a little thoughtful frown took its place on his features. He liked the color, he liked the form, he liked the absence of ticking sound it would make as he tilted his head and ear over the dial. But…

"Naturally! I made it as close to mine as possible, but I will admit, there's one thing missing from yours..."

He had just finished picking up the unique gift he had chosen for the youth in exchange for the wristwatch he was promised, and was excessively content of his choice- to him, it was nothing that special, but he hoped it would get him to talk about all the secrets he alluded and eluded with skill until ‘a later date’, which the thief decided would be that very day. He was amused to hear the other call him so vehemently- though it might be prudent to do so, knowing Phantom R’s ill reputation in Paris. And decided to surprise him in the very own fashion he suggested: sneaking through the window, back flipping, passing his head over the shoulder of the petite body and talked as if he had always been there, tranquil, slightly mocking.

"You really did do what I said 4 weeks ago...amazing...You really are like a Phantom, are you sure you really aren't one?" he shook his head, of course R wasn't.

"And it’s not too bad, trust me. Not unless you go looking for scares." Which she’d probably end up doing from the safety of her living room. A solitary scary movie marathon with candy? Yes please!

"Who am I...? ha, it's clear now! you're an alternate!" close Rock, but no cigar on that one.

"I’m Phantom R, but of course you already knew that, didn’t you?" She quipped, indulging in her mischievous Halloween spirit. He could have been asking who she was dressed as, for all she knew!

"Hm...Yeah okay, I suppose I'll take it." he sighed.

He back up a bit at the others statement.

"Who are you?" it was also best to answer this ones question, he guessed.

or or or

"Oh uh, hello there!" he had seen alternate dimensions before…Just not ones of him.

"I didn’t like the ‘fighting’ thing anyways to be honest. I think that lab assistant suits me better." He smiled, thinking about why he stopped doing the hero stuff in the first place.

"Hobby as  a lab assistant? as i you weren't one first? you were just a straight up hero? that's kinda neat..."

"I've always been my father's Student..."

He bit his lip at the mention of Blues.

I’m rather down today….
