“I’m not giving up my stuff.”
Kid Win paused. This is like looking into a mirror to a year and a half ago. “Look, I can see your TV, your toaster. Chances are you’ve gone to the Trainyard or a scrapyard to find some stuff. Old batteries, car parts, chains, good metal, whatever.”
You might want to view it as more of a… lease arrangement than giving up your stuff.
“He wanted to go to the Trainyard,” Chariot’s mother cut in, “I told him no, caught him trying to sneak out.”
Chances are he’s been there at some point anyway.
I wonder how that area is doing these days.
Chariot scowled a little, looked away.
This would be easier without her here.
Yeah, probably. Maybe you should ask her to let you talk in private? She might respect that.
“I get it. Been there. You’re hungry to use your power, but more than any other kind of cape, you’re facing a hurdle in terms of the entry-level resources you need. This is where the team would support you. You get funding, a lot of funding, to put your stuff together.”
Hm…
“hungry to use your power”
I wonder if that might be a thing beyond just regular psychology, for other capes as well. An instinctive desire to use the powers that comes packaged with them.
