The Selfish and Selfless Hero!

welcome to avengers campus, isn’t it nice to be back, SENTO KIRYUU ?   it’s been so long since i’ve seen you being a typical TWENTY-SIX year old PHYSICIST  feels like forever since i’ve seen you hanging around APERTURE SCIENCE LABORATORIES.  makes sense too: considering you’re known for being + A GENIUS & + HEROIC, even when you can be quite - EGOTISTICAL & -STUBBORN, too. say, did you always have YOUR RABBIT FULLBOTTLE ?  i’ve never seen you leave home without it.

Canon timeline (Spoilers, also tw for manipulation and mentions of human experimentation)

A human pin cushion. That’s what Steve felt like when he first signed up to be tested, and that’s what he still felt like some two years on. Being told he was pretty much a miracle – as in it was a miracle he was even alive – Steve stuck with the testing for this long because if cures could be found for the ailments he lived with on a daily basis, who was he to not try and help those cures become reality? And he was tested for a lot. Astigmatism, scoliosis, partial deafness, arrhythmia, among at least four other heart related issues, stomach ulcers… The list of illnesses Steve had nearly filled an entire page. If it weren’t for his bad eyesight, he’d likely have seen glances of it sometimes and been embarrassed. But, he was also told he was a great help because of everything he went through and the things he was still going through. In the end, it had to be worth it. Something good would come of all this testing.

A huff of concern left Steve when the sound and tremors of an explosion shook the building he was in down to its foundation, before the next test was set to begin. Steve’s concern grew with the need to catch his breath as he ran towards the commotion to see if anyone needed help. It was harder to breath where the air became clouded but the sound of someone speaking had him stumbling over the layer of rubble, determined to help where he could. With being the smallest person around, he at least had that on his side of good things for once. He stopped short at the sight that revealed itself as the dust slowly cleared. A considerable dent in the wall and the person who was forced to make said dent joking about it?

Okay, then.

“From the looks of things, you seem resilient enough to survive that, as well. Are you sure you’re okay,” Steve questioned, holding out a helping hand.

“I’ve...Had worse happen to me.” Sento took the hand and stood up, his legs shaking a bit. A bit dizzy, but that’s normal (for him, at least). A sigh, he rubbed the back of his head. God, at least the explosion didn’t totally destroy the device he was making but it was enough that he would need to ask for an extension.

Who knows if they’re going to give it to him? Nebula Gas was hard enough to work with as is (well, at least what he knew of it when he found the...Fullbottles); ;he didn’t need to have bosses up his ass just because he didn’t meet the deadline.

(Science is fucking hard, physics is hard, working with unknown substances is hard; Sento’s a fucking genius so why--)

“What I am not looking forward to is being berated by one of my bosses for something failing; I’d like to see them work with fucking Nebula Gas--” he grumbled, letting go of the hand and stumbled forward to the device (oh god the damage was even worse. Shit). Dizzy....Dizzy. Dropped to his knees. Gently picked up the device (it burns, but Sento had way worse and he doesn’t care fight now). A sigh, a huge fucking sigh of disappointment and frustration.

Normally he would power through whatever is happening but right now? He just wants a nap. A long ass nap and some grilled mackerel.

“you alright, mate?” sirius had headed round the corner once he heard the loud blast, panic and concern plastered on his features and throughout his tone as he approached him. “do you need any help or have you got….this….under control?” he gestured toward him and the wall. 

“please tell me whoever you’re talking about isn’t gonna pitch up here? they hardly seem like the people i wanna be caught up with.”

“I’ll be fine, it’s just...” a groan came from him; walking towards the device,

“Ugh, I have to make adjustments--this is supposed to be a generator by the way--because I’m pretty sure something isn’t stable right now. I can’t tell if it’s the nebula gas that got destabilized or if I need to make adjustments to the one of the components that contain the nebula gas...” he rubbed his head. God, he was going to need to get a new coat (and a first aid kit; despite being a Kamen Rider, he’s only human after all). One hand on the generator, not giving a shit if it’ll burn his hand. He’s had worse from other experiments (a lot worse).

“I discover one thing  and the next thing I know, ‘hey Kiryuu, research on how Nebula Gas could be used besides--’” and he stopped himself with a sigh. Goddamnit.

“....Okay. Looks like I need to make some slight adjustments to...that.” Sento groaned as he slowly got back up after blast pushed him back into a wall, leaving a Sento shaped dent in it and the physicist with some...scratches on his face,

some things about sento:

-absolute genius in physics, also fluent in Japanese and English

-works at Aperture Science as a physicist and researcher

-used to be Kamen Rider Build (I say used to because....I have NO idea if he has all of his equipment to transform. he just has the Rabbit Fullbottle, which can enhance his speed.)

-He can be a bit egotistical and stubborn, so expect phrases like ‘aren’t I the greatest?’ from him and be enthusiastic about research and physics

-Don’t know if anyone would know about his identity as Kamen Rider Build since, yk, i have no idea if he has all of his equipment. If he does, then yeah the Accords would know and shit.

-Also he has to go through losing his memories a second time; he already did it the first time during his canon!

-His canon is set post episode 49??? I didn’t take into account Zi-O because that...causes time issues on his end. I think I’ll take in the Heisei Generations and NEW WORLD movies into account though

-This should be a given, but this isn’t a spoiler free blog whoops.
