'Lunatic's weight might be closer', Add mused, watching the other genius stomp around the backyard with faint amusement.  'I wonder if he could break my Dynamo?' Curious, he began mentally calculating the probability of that happening.  'Of course, I'd have to first let him near the Dynamo.  That's not happening.'

“Mastermind, damn you, answer me!”  Lunatic finally decided to look up, searching the sky.  His gaze landed on an amused Mastermind, floating relaxedly at roof level. “Kek, why weren't you answering?”  Lunatic jumped up, his own Dynamo configuring underneath him to lift him up to Add's eye level.  “I'm hungry.” “Do I look like your cook?”  Add's voice belied his annoyance.  Honestly, he had prepared one meal, and now Lunatic came to him whenever he was hungry. “Nah, you'd have to have a maid outfit for that.”  Lunatic laughed.  “Kah, what would I have to do to get you into that outfit?” “Manage to somehow kill me, keke.”  Add lay back again, lifting his book up to block the sun.  “Now, if you don't mind.....” Get the hell out of my space. “Pffft.”  Lunatic didn't leave for a couple seconds.  “Hey, I'm making mac and cheese, d'ya want any?” “Sure.”  Anything to make Lunatic go away, right?  Add honestly had no idea what drove Lunatic to do things.  A minute ago, he had wanted Add to cook, and now he was cooking for himself? Whatever, Add decided as Lunatic dropped back to the ground and walked inside.  The long-haired researcher wriggled around to get comfortable on his Dynamo, then focused again on his book. It was about fifteen minutes later that Lunatic came outside again, lifting himself up to Add's level.  Add had changed positions, now laying on his stomach with only precarious support from his Dynamo. “Kek, what now?” Add asked without looking up. Lunatic put on his best wounded expression.  “I made food, Mastermind, don't you want some?” Add nearly refused the offer, but realized that it was actually well past lunchtime.  He paused for a moment, gauging Lunatic's mood. “Sure,” he finally said, reasonably sure that the bowl Lunatic held wasn't poisoned.  Lunatic smiled, holding out the bowl of pasta.  The predatory smile was nearly enough to make Add reconsider.

After another pause, Add shifted his weight onto his right forearm and held out his left hand.  Now he was being supported by only five Dynamos as he made a grab for the bowl. Lunatic held it out of reach.  “Ah, you've got to say please,” he chided teasingly. Add glared, suddenly acutely aware that he was high off the ground.  The unused Dynamo that had originally been supporting his left forearm moved to hover just under his chest.  “Are you kidding? Just give me the food!” Lunatic only laughed. Add sighed, suddenly too tired to argue.  “.... Kek.  Fine.  Please give me the mac and cheese, now are you satisfied?” “Sure,” Lunatic purred as he brought the bowl within reach of Add. Two things happened very quickly.  First, Add reached for the bowl, putting himself off balance.  Almost at the same time, Lunatic pulled the bowl up and poured the hot contents over Add's head, drenching his hair in gooey cheese sauce. Caught by surprise, Add let out an undignified squealing sound. His thoughts momentarily scattered and his Dynamo reacted to the change, letting the researcher fall. Add's scream was loud and terrified. His Dynamo paused for a split second, then swooped down to break his fall, but the damage was done. The Mastermind ended up flat on his back, Dynamo hovering around him apprehensively, hair and clothes dirtied with a combination of soil, macaroni, and cheese sauce. Lunatic's lunatic laugh rang out as the berserker jumped from his own hovering platform, landing lightly on his feet. “Kahahahaha, you should see your face!  I haven't had this much fun since I caught Esper in a Nasod Armor combo, keke! Come on, what do you have to say for yourself?”
