➣ Super-hearing was an asset beyond compare, but even if he didn’t have it Splendid likely would have been able to hear a scream that loud from a few blocks away in a quiet town like theirs. For the local hero, noticing cries of distress on the way home was a lot like getting a call from work, excluding the fact that the speed with which he reacted to the former was notably quicker than that with which he reacted to the latter. He wouldn’t get out of bed for his job, but he was more than happy to tumble through Giggles’ living room window for the sake of saving the day.
He dashed into the kitchen prepared for battle — only to find the girl on her own and relatively calm, if a bit GIDDY, assuring him that the wound was nothing. He was a bit sceptical. Losing a finger was a fairly minor thing when compared to the misfortunes he was used to causing seeing, but mild or not the amount of blood was almost dizzying to look at. Eyes wide in surprise, he shook his head.
“ Now, there’s no need to put on a brave face!
Never fear, Splendid is here to bandage your wounds! ”
And with that he yanking the cupboards open, with such force (having forgotten his own strength) that several of the doors came off their hinges, sending bolts and screws catapulting through the air. Unbeknownst of this potential safety hazard, he scanned over the shelves with intent, before turning back to giggles, a box of bandages in hand.
“ Stay calm — I have located the first aid supplies. ”
Despite his being the less calm one in this situation.
it crossed her mind that she could protest the help because it was very unnecessary -- but it basically meant that she could spend some more time with the super hero, and she wouldn’t complain about that. of course, she was worried about the crash that she had heard with his entrance - and she knew it was fair to assume that he had just flown in through the window and left a shower of glass in his wake. no biggie. what’s the worst that could happen with that?
“ Okay, if you really feel it necessary. “
she watched with pink hues as he LITERALLY pulled the cabinet door off of it’s hinges, scattering yet another arsenal of sharp objects to the ground. it was only natural for her to hold her hands to her face until they fell safely to the ground. okay -- maybe not safely, but at least there she could monitor where they were.
that smile never left her face as he finally pulled the bandages out -- never mind that he could have just ASKED her where she kept them -- and she once again raised her hands to clap with a laugh, only slightly wincing through the pain.
“ Oh, I can stay calm, I promise ! I’m not afraid while you’re here. “
and cue more giggles escaping her lips as she cautiously held out her hand.
