Aww yeah, science saves the day. [Kid grins to himself and drinks half of his blue Powerade so he can mix it with the red.]

Anyway, sometimes you gotta field test in crisis situations. Spontaneity is the ally of the physical scientist or whatever.

You can quote me on that, that's mine.

I'll be sure to do that. Do you want me to leave in the 'or whatever'? [She's laughing, but it's friendly. If she gets the opportunity she will definitely quote him.]

Would you go by Dr. Flash?

Ehhh, Dr. Kid is fine. Dr. Flash sounds like a porno character. [PURPLE POWERADE aww yeah.]

So you really don't wanna do the hero thing, or was that because this time it really sucked?

It probably exists. [Which isn't a thing she tends to think about at length, so moving on.]

I...

It wasn't that bad? I can't deny the thrill of it, and I really don't like the taste of sitting back and watching while people get hurt. But I'm not a hero, you know? I put on the armor to capture one guy, and I was told we won, but I don't remember that at all. I kinda feel like a kid just dressing up and pretending to be important.

[She winces slightly. It sounds like she's crying for attention or something and that's just...no.]

I've used the armor all of a day before being brought here. Beyond our objective I'm just an engineer that likes to race.

[KF shrugs his shoulders, unconcerned as he sits back on his hands again.] Loads of heroes feel like that sometimes, it doesn't really go away.

My mentor told me that he feels like that at least once a month, and he's been doing this for years and years. But then he remembers what you said, about not wanting to see people get hurt when he knows he coulda stopped it, and it's an easy decision then.

[She watches him for awhile, thinking about that with the same amount of attention she gives a new design. Finally, she smirks.]

Your mentor must be a pretty lucky guy.

Because he has me?! Psh, I know. [Kid stretches out his legs in front of him and cocks his head to the side.] I'm so great and I'm basically the best sidekick anybody could ask for. He hit the freakin' jackpot with me.

Because he clearly has the patience of a saint. [Nevermind that he hit it right on the nose. Gogo thinks he's awesome.

She stands and stretches, still sore from running around all day.]

Come on, I believe I promised you food.

Oh my god you did! [Kid jumps up and brushes off his legs, gathering all his garbage and shoving it into an overstuffed trash can nearby.] You're my favorite. Have I told you that? Of everybody here, you are my favorite.

I bet you say that to everyone who feeds you.

[She moves to hold the door open for him, her expression just shy of a grin.]

I only say that to the people who deserve it. [so the people who feed him. also totally just walking in like he's not failing in chivalry over here. gogo, you befriended this......]

[Please, as if chivalry is a thing she looks for in her friends. She gets plenty of door holding from Tadashi.]

I'm honored to be on the list.

[She'd let the staff know when she'd got here that there was a good chance they'd be ordering like a full party, so consider them forewarned and prepared for your appetite, KF.]
