"So why the Dojo of all places?" [i]He asked, meandering over to the counter and leaning against it. [/i] "It's not like this place is conducive to you or really all that safe." [i]With people like Wilson around, it was kind of hard to be totally safe. Watcher really just wanted to find out what he could about James before he turned the questions around towards him.[/i]
-
[u]Well we both know why I came here. I heard that through some other thieves about this place and I decided that I would come to get trained and then ditch. After the deed was done, I decided not to leave. This place is definitely safer than not having a home at all. There's some psychos, but there's psychos everywhere.[/u]
-
"To be fair, the average psycho isn't carrying a fifty caliber machine gun. To be fair, the average psycho isn't like the guys here who are basically gods. Thankfully." [i]He replied.[/i] "I get the point though. Most people here are generally caring. You just have to get to know them."
-
[u]I mean, by that logic, one day you and I will be gods. From thieves to gods, eh?[/u] James actually managed to crack a smile at that one. The homeless orphan with a superpower... what the hell had his life become. Awesome, that's what.
-
"Look dude, I'm just an average kid stuck in really weird place. I don't think becoming a god is feasible for me. Maybe for you." [i]He said. Watcher wasn't lying, he really wasn't anything special. He was fast and intelligent, but he didn't have any abilities without his suit. He was just a regular sixteen-year-old.[/i]
-
[u]'Average'... That's quite funny. If you were average, you wouldn't be here. I mean, is anyone here average?[/u] James still had a wide smile on his face and was chuckling slightly.
-
"Yeah, as far as being normal humans without powers goes. I'm average, Rose is average, Clarkson is average, Wolfe is average, and I'd say that Wilson is, but he's basically a sociopath, so that kinda rules him out. He doesn't have powers per se, but he does have some enhancements." [i]Watcher replied. He was pretty average compared to some of the others.[/i]
-
[u]Enhancements make you above average. The average person, they don't have a -blam-ing super suit. They don't have powers either. No one here is average[/u] James said, still chuckling for whatever reason
-
"They're not super. They're not indestructible, you know. Had to do a lot of work on mine after Wilson tried killing me." [i]He said.[/i] "What's so funny?"
-
[u]Nothing is indestructible. Still better than the rags I've got. [/u] James took a second to answer the latter question. [u]Also, nothing's really funny per-se, it's just amusing how painfully average you [b]think[/b] you are. You're wrong.[/u]
-
"Not necessarily. I can't stop time and dodge bullets." [i]He said, a smirk on his lips. [/i]
-
[u]Well, I don't know about dodging bullets. That's a bit past my current skill level. But I get what you mean.[/u] James also began to smirk
-
"Takes effort and practice." [i]He said, shrugging.[/i] "How'd you get the whole time thing? Born with it or..."
-
[u]From what I can tell, yes. There was a time that I had an of man to mentor me. He was blind and basically he told me that I have some special power. He told me how to active them. Then he died. Then I stopped talking for a few years. So yeah, I think it was just a birth thing[/u]
-
"Interesting." "Do they have any effects on you if you use them for a while? I know some people basically run themselves to the point of exhaustion using their powers." [i]Watcher sounded to be genuinely interested in James' abilities.[/i]
-
[u]Umm... I've really only used them for less then 5 minutes at a time. It's a good question, but one I can't answer. I've been told I'm [b]very[/b] dangerous. I don't see it. [/u] James could tell how interested Watcher was in his powers. James was as well, at one point.
-
"Well, if what Rose said is true, then yeah, you're probably capable of some catastrophic stuff, dude." [i]He replied. [/i] "Time's a really powerful thing to be able to manipulate. Not a lot of people have that ability." [i]Watcher hadn't met anyone else in the Dojo with the abilities to manipulate time, so this was a first.[/i]
-
[u]Rose is pretty smart. I wonder if that old guy had time powers.[/u] James got his ever so infamous light in his eyes, showing that he had an idea. [u]I wonder... Could i make immortality possible? [/u] James was seriously considering immortality but he then realized that was an evil thought and stowed it away. [u]Nevermind that. Could I slow time for someone else I wonder... that'd be revolutionary in war...[/u]
-
"Look, I really don't know what you can do, dude. I'm just glad you're not a psycho and trying to kill anyone." [i]Watcher said, a relieved smile on his face.[/i]
-
[u]Says who?[/u] James asked jokingly
-
"I'm just not getting the vibe from you. You're too honest to random people like me and Rose, dude." [i]He said, smirking.[/i]
-
[u]Mmmmm... Yeah, I guess I'm not a psycho. Not yet at least.[/u]
-
"Seeing as you were crying about killing someone, you're not a psycho. Last time I checked, people that are insane don't do that." [i]He replied, shrugging his shoulders.[/i]
-
[u]Oh come on, I wasn't crying. [/u]
-
"I'm not deaf. I may have trust issues but I know I heard you crying down here." [i]He answered, [/i]
