“I don’t like to talk about it.” The smell of burnt cheese still stained Arin's nostrils.
“That’s awesome. It must've been something really awful!” Flux only got more enthusiastic. “No parents and an accident to give you powers? Wow! Some people have all the luck with tragic pasts. Those really seem to be the ones that make it the furthest in this industry, though. Isn’t that funny? Aren't you happy to be in Urban City? I hear it has the highest crime rate in the world, but almost all the heroes are here to control it. Though, all the villains are too.” They managed to say all of these words in less than eight seconds.
“If that’s really true, then why does anyone else bother to live here?” Arin asked with one one-hundredth of the enthusiasm of Flux.
“I don’t actually know. That’s a good point. Seems odd that normal people live where all this super stuff goes down. But hey, maybe they will get to see something cool! I can’t wait to get in my first fight!” Flux continued to babble on and on long after Arin lost track of the conversation. They finally stopped when a shadow passed over them.
They both pivoted to see Dr. Rage was now standing over them ominously. He shot his finger directly out to Arin. Thunder clapped at the whip of his hand, and he belted, “You! Name? Powers?”
Arin squinted her eyes and cocked her hip to the side. “Seriously? You were literally with me five minutes ag—”
“DO I NEED TO REPEAT MYSELF?”
