I'm not going to endanger a mission, or innocent people, just to be the one who did it. But if the chance comes up, I'm taking it." He pauses, mulling over how contradictory that sounded. "I guess I don't know? Ha, that didn't make much sense. But like, I'd be okay with someone stopping her, and soon - she needs to spend the rest of her days rotting in the Vault. I'd just really like to be the one to go 'You are under arrest'." Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

But really, as long as people are safe, you know?" Because this isn't a competition. "I'll help stop these people from hurting anybody else. It's not about my own personal goals, or whose name goes on the headline; that's what I try to keep in mind." He'd already had his fill of reporters from people covering the school story. For a while, at least. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

Aaron stalls, part because he didn't realise he'd said that aloud, part because he's trying to remember the guy's last name. "Davis. The Hollywood guy, he's part of Paradigm Miami.

"I just don't like the guy; I know it's silly, and you make a good point, but people shouldn't be here just for themselves. Paradigm's something bigger than any one person, or we'd all just be vigilante superheroes doing our own thing." That's how he sees it, anyway. And he knows vigilante superheroes are a thing, no judgements there he supposes, but still. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

He remembers making a complete jackass of himself because he assumed Adam was the kind of guy to sabotage the sparring matches. "Guess I just don't like arrogant people. Who the hell is someone like Adam to treat people like they're lesser than him because of something as stupid as who they were born to, or whether they have a power? Nobody can help that." Well, people can go find a sentient power and merge with it, but still. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

All she was working off of was the fact he wanted to bop him in the nose. "Why does he irritate you? How does he get under your skin? Is it just the fact he represents something you don't want to be?" Back to Top   Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

But on to a more helpful answer. "As to him representing something... yeah. If Mom and Dad raised me a little differently, I'd be like him. Arrogant, thinking I was the only thing that mattered, treating everybody as lesser for something they couldn't help and I hadn't done one thing to earn. Rich, important families, both legacy kids for what our parents do. I know where he's coming from and that makes me want to give him the lesson in humility he obviously never got." But then, not everybody got to grow up being trained by metas as powerful as his parents. That'd make anybody a bit humble. « Last Edit: Mar 2, 2016 6:54:37 GMT -6 by Aaron Silverman » Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...
