Kendrick startled, but shook his head and grinned. "Sorry, but I'm afraid I can't do that. It's kind of my job to stop crimes. Look, they're cowards okay? I don't think you need to hurt them or anything, just scare them and let them run." He was not sorry for saying that as the men ran off, not wanting to get involved with a hero's fight. He didn't have much hopes for being able to talk it out, so he didn't shift out of the fighting stance.

"Come on, couldn't you look the other way just this once?" The boy coaxed, taking another step forward, purple eye glowing brightly, the rest of his tattoos giving off a pale glow, clearly ready for a fight. The eye squinted for a moment, as if taking in more information before 'Neku' lept forward, feinting left so he could get passed this hero. Even in his current state the male found himself reluctant to physically harm the innocent, and was more focused on the man who cut him, the small red stain growing slightly as he lept forward.

{Ugh, sounds horrible}
"No can do, sorry about that. I'd be a horrible hero if I did." He didn't take the feint, quick to jump at him in return and try to subdue him by pinning him to the ground. He wasn't aiming to hurt him. He just wanted to keep him down and talk reason into him. Ade would have knocked him out and been donr with it, but Kendrick--or Regal--preferred to talk if he could be reasoned with. "It'd be a whole lot easier if you just stopped, you know! We could bandage you up and you'd be fine and no harm done!" {I'm bad at action why did I make a superhero RP}

(Yikes that sounds brutal.) Neku felt himself be pinned to the ground, the weight of the hero on his back. The boy struggled against him, not angry, more irritated at the fact that he couldn't finish what he started. He let out an aggravated snarl, thrashing a little and making his side wound worse with his struggling. "Don't tell me what to-" suddenly the boys face twisted in pain, his eyes growing darker and his shoulders slumping, the glow that had been coming from his forehead and the tattoos throughout his body fading. Neku let out a cough, coughing up a small amount of blood before going completely limp, his consciousness slipping as his Eyes lost hold, no longer able to control Neku. The aliens face was pale as his eyes fluttered open, suddenly panicking when he woke up, pinned down, pain radiating from where the knife had cut him, feeling weak. "Eh- hey! Get off!" He managed, although he felt too tired to fight. He just remained pinned, body only slightly tense with consciousness, but he couldn't muster the strength to actually fight. 'What happened? What did I do?' He thought, terrified. (Hey! You aren't that bad XD you is pretty good, plus it's good to practice things )

Kendrick swore and quickly let go of him, although still on guard in case it was a trick. He didn't think so, not with the way he genuinely seemed confused. He was mostly concerned with his injuries. It wasn't exactly protocol, but he liked to think he had good enough instincts to know to trust that he wouldn't attack. "Sorry about that! Are you okay? You should really get bandaged up." He held out a hand to help him stand. "Also, if you could tell me what was with all the glowy tattoo stuff, thatd'd be great."

Neku frowned, rolling over onto his back and propping himself up on his back, too disoriented to even notice he was missing his hat and scarf, frowning, staring at the hand in confusion before taking it, allowing himself to be helped up, recoiling immedietly when another tidbit of information hit his already pounding mind. His third eye shot open, as if in surprise at what it saw, before fluttering back into a closed position.It was always like this after an attack- he was more susceptible to small visions and letting his Throat do the speaking, too weak to build strong enough barriers around them. He backed away for a moment, going into another coughing fit, covering it with his mouth and wincing when he saw a reddish smudge on his hand, frowning when he realized his side was burning, looking down in confusion when he saw a small, growing patch of blood.Man, whatever happened did some damage, and he didn't know if he wanted to find out what he did. Neku glanced back up at the boy, the small vision telling him that this guy was Kendrick, the boy he met earlier in the day. "That depends. You gonna tell me why you wear fake glasses?" The question slipped out of his mouth before he realized what he was asking, what he was insinuating.

{I have Ade, but I'll most likely end up going to sleep soon}
--
Kendrick startled once again. Then he grinned. It was an easier grin than the friendly smiles he'd had at school. It would do absolutely nothing to deny it. His family would have a fit, but he'd always been more laid back than them, even with secret identities. "Well well. You're a smart one. It only took you two meetings and stalking me to the library to find that out. How about a truth for a truth? I tell you about the glasses, you tell me what's going on while I patch you up. Come on, I can take you to my place. We'll talk there." His mother at home would understand. Probably. Then again, it would probably be best if he just attempted to sneak past her...

Well this boy was full of surprises. It certainly came as a shock to Neku, the fact that he didn't deny it, and he couldn't help but flash a weak grin back towards Kendrick, appreciating the sense of humor that was injected into his retort. Honestly, he already liked this guy, and he couldn't help but hope to get some of his questions answered now. "Deal- I guess. How fars your house?" He asked, taking a step forward and stumbling, still clearly weak from his fit. He'd be like this until he got some sleep, Neku knew that much, this had happened way too many times so he knew how to take care of himself afterwards.

"Ehhh..." Erisil Heights was... pretty far from where they were, but he could get there quickly if he swung through the city. "It's kind of far, but I have a grappling hook that I use to get around quickly. I can carry you." It would be much better than walking, and scaling through the buildings would allow them to be concealed more easily. People would notice if they started walking to towards Erisil. Swinging was a lot easier because people didn't tend to look up unless there was some sort of fight going on. Carrying him might be a little hard on the injury, but it was safer in the long run.

{Good afternoon! I have no idea how consistent I'll be on today, but I'll try my best!}
Kendrick smirked at him, of course finding the humor in what he'd offered. "Would you rather walk where people could see us? I don't see anywhere else we could go or any way else to get there. You'd really just have to hold onto me and I can get us there quickly." He could always break into Lani's house, which was a lot closer, but he wasn't sure if her family was there and she would be pretty cross with him.
--
"Yeah, I think most people would just be wary of you until you establish yourself, but not hostile unless you're a horrible villain," Lani said. "They would start taking selfies with you once you become someone they like. Still, it can get a little... intense..." She'd seen new heroes grow from suspicious to admired. Even Ade, as Wild Card, was pretty liked, mostly by the residents of Noir Street. It wasn't that people weren't put off by all the strange things in the world, but they learned to accept it. A few extra traits meant little in comparison to all the chaos that made Erisil, Erisil.

"That could get irritating on your stomach. I considered carrying you bridal style, but that would be very difficult to move around in. And I have experience getting punched for trying." The guy had been cute okay? "Just--here. Hold onto my neck or something. I'll try not to jostle you much." He wrapped an arm around Nikolai's waist tightly as he took out his hook from his utility belt. It was a small one, but it was much more reinforced than a bigger one. The perks of having money and being able to afford creating strong wire to hold them and not snap.

"Alright." Neku responded, before wrapping his arms around the boys neck, laughing to himself at the thought of being carried bridal style, and before he realized he was saying anything words flew from his mouth. "Y'know, you could say this is a pretty good pick up line," he commented, before letting out an embarrassed noise. "Wait, did I just say that out loud? Shoot man, that was bad, I'm sorry," he said quickly, his face turning a pale pink in embarrassment. He really needed to stop it with the puns. (Okay I couldn't help it I had to make the pun )

Lani nodded. "Four years. I got used to it after the third hostage situation." She'd been with her parents and when they got held up, the people inside just kept quietly eating their food. When Regal had busted in, everyone just ducked and evaded and exited as they had to. It was a learning experience, and now she just went with everything that came their way. It helped that a few months later, she learned that Kendrick was the superhero Regal. "Um, when did you move here? Must not have been long ago..."
--
{Beautiful. That was perfect} Kendrick was startled into a laugh. "Good, you have a sense of humor. When I try this with people I know, they always glare at me for trying. A shame, really. Now, this may be a little strange, but you'll get used to it." He aimed and fired at a closeby building, and allowed the two of them to zip up through the air. He laughed, always enjoying the adrenaline that came with it. He made the same motions as they passed buildings through the air. True to his words, nobody paid much attention to the superhero holding a random boy as they moved above their heads.
{Both of these things are happening at the same time and I'm imagining Lani just looking up as Kendrick passes and being like "what is that idiot doing now?"}

(Bwahahaha thank you ;D I'm not usually very punny but the days that I am I just can't stop with them.)
Neku let out a terrified yelp as they shot forward, clinging onto Kendrick for dear life, not even getting a chance to respond to him about being funny (although it definitely was nice, being told so. Maybe it would have been a good idea to mention to the guy that he had a crippling fear of falling, but then maybe not. He winced as his cut rubbed against the guys costume, every time they dropped a little it hurt just a little bit more, but he kept his eyes shut, hoping it would be over quickly. "A-are we there yet?" He asked, voice tight and slightly muffled.

"Mm, luckily, whatever damages that superheroes cause are always paid for by either Rey Corp or the Committee, so--" She cut off as a blur of red and gold passed overhead, but she shook her head and continued. "So that saves some money at least. I don't think you should have much trouble if you become a familiar face around here, and Regal's always willing to help out newbies." There would always be those who hated superheroes and thought them all menaces, but they were typically to be ignored.
--
"Almost." Kendrick wasn't oblivious, so he tried to keep him as still as possible. He dropped softly to the ground without much trouble in the backyard of his manor. "Here we are. You okay?" He let go of him, but kept a hand on his back as he led him inside. "My parents'll be pissed if we get blood on the carpet, so we'll be going underground. That's where we usually get patched up." Originally, the entrance had been opened with a cliche book, but they changed that so it was a keypad hidden under a latch in the wall in the library.

It took Neku a few moments to realize they were actually on the ground, before he opened his eyes and realized he was still clutching onto Kendricks neck. The boy let out a cough, releasing him and took a step back, looking a little embarrassed. "Yeah- uh, not a fan of grappling hooks apparently," he said with a nervous laugh, aware of the hand on his back and realieved when he didn't have any unwanted visions. "So- underground? Like, as in a lair underground or like a basement, mudroom underground?" He asked, looking up at the mansion. This was probably the most expensive place he'll ever get the chance to go into, no doubt that even the plates where worth more than he was.

Speaking of Regal... Lani glanced down at her phone to check if Kendrick texted her. He didn't. Of course not. "Do you not know the name?" she asked, because it sounded as though he didn't. "Regal's the most well-known hero here. He's like, the primary one, since his predecessors, um, retired." The official story was that they had actually disappeared, but she knew they were just retired. It was nicer to say they retired. She never liked saying they disappeared when she saw them every time she went to the Rey Manor.
--
"I'll keep that in mind." Kendrick gave him another lopsided grin as they entered his library, then opened the hidden latch to enter the passcode. The closest bookshelf lowered into the ground, revealing stairs heading down into somewhere. "It's more like a lair. It's more organized and professional than a basement. And harder to find." Well, it was harder to find now. He really didn't know what his father was thinking when he made it possible to open by moving a book.

Lani moved as though to touch the petals, but stopped herself before she could. She flushed again. The flowers were really pretty, so she'd felt like touching them. "I'm not that busy. My friend just cancelled our plans, but alright." She shrugged. She still felt a little awkward talking to a new super. She'd only ever interacted with Regal and Wild Card because she knew them. She wasn't used to other supers. Anyone else was just... weird and uncomfortable. And any civilian identities she did know didn't know that she knew.
--
He chuckled and shook his head. "Not a gang, no, but you can call it a family business. I'm not saying much more than that." He wrapped an arm around him once again to steady him. "Geez, if you need help walking, just ask. Here we go," he said as they reached the bottom. "Sit on the bed there." It looked more like a hospital bed but without all the extra machinery. He helped him to the bed. Next to it was a desk, which he opened to take out the bandages.
