MHA #2 | Tuesday Morning

[knife_bender]

Diego and Annie had gotten back from Australia super early, and she almost immediately had to get back to New York for work. Which left him alone at the apartment. Well...maybe he was alone. It was always hard to tell what was going on in that guest room.

Ugh. He was going to have to apologize for being a jackass, wasn't he? First he was going to make coffee, he needed coffee in order to do this.

A few minutes later he approached the guest room door, mug in hand. He knocked on the door lightly. "Five?"

Maybe he wasn't in there doing crazy stuff?

[Done spamming. For the brother!]

Comments

"Of course we do," Diego said. "Especially if I need to be involved in this whole equation somehow."

[apocalypsehow]

"We can measure it based on how good your abilities become with me around," Five suggested. By what? Throwing knives at each other?

[knife_bender]

"What, like I aim better than I already do?" he asked. "How the hell am I supposed to know if my abilities get better? How did Klaus know he could contact Dad?"

[apocalypsehow]

"I don't know, he didn't say." Well, everyone sort of ignored him when he had tried to share, but, you know. The world ending and all that. "Maybe... maybe it'll be like the Ben thing. Or how I went from moving through space to moving through time. A new extension of what you can already do."

Like holding your breath forever or something else dumb.

Pfft who would have a lame power like that?

"So I'm just supposed to know?" he asked. "That is not helpful."

[apocalypsehow]

"I didn't know know I could move through time, I just... felt like it was possible." That totally helped, right?

[knife_bender]

It was not helpful at all, but Diego could tell when Five was actually trying to help. So as unhelpful as that was, Five would not get a shitty comment in return.

"Okay," he said. "Okay, I'll try to figure it out."

This would be so much more helpful if his powers were more showy than "good aim".

[apocalypsehow]

That was fair.

"Another thing the old man inexplicably knew," Five grumbled.
