[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]
-
[u]Ok, fine.... maybe a little bit. But shut up. [/u] James replied, laughing a bit
-
"You kidding me? Just because it's normal doesn't mean I'm not gonna make fun of you!" [i]He said through a laugh[/i]
