He sighed as he put his phone away , no reception and he had no idea how to get from point A to B. He was in town for a job and had to sleep in a hotel...though he kind of got lost as the taxi driver dropped him off at the other end of the town instead of the hotel. “...great..” He then looked over to a person walking by. “Sorry...er..i could use some help. I need to find this Hotel” he showed the other the location on his phone. “But...i don’t know where that is..could you help me?”

“I’m fine- I’m just tired.” Jackson sighs, rubbing at his eyes. “Loooong day.”

        “Enjoyng it’s putting it mildly.”

         “What the hell are you doing here kid?” Bruce questioned as he tossed the last of the goons into the closet and locked the door. He turned his attention towards the younger hero and almost charged towards him. “Do you realize you could have gotten yourself hurt or killed? There is no reason someone your age should be out here doing this shit!” Bruce said, his voice raspy and stern as he exhaled a loud, sharp breath.

Adam wasn’t sure how to feel about the slightly flimsy excuse the other gave him, not wanting to start some sort of disagreement. But he figured a bit of passive-aggressive playful prodding wouldn’t do too much harm. “You know,” he started, a small smile beginning to curl up along his soft features. “--they have these newfangled inventions these days called ‘alarms’.” His tone was teasing as he spouted off word after word, not wanting to make this a bigger deal than it was meant to be. “It’s where you, uh...you pick a time. And then there is this loud noise that goes off at that specific time to remind you to, like, take cookies out of the oven. Put your laundry in the dryer. Wake up. Stuff like that...” No, it wasn’t a big deal. But it would be nice to not be alone tonight.
