“might not’ve done shit but you sure as fuck tried.” he couldn’t say he had tons of experience with this sort of thing - he only knew a few people with superpowers, and most didn’t tend to direct them at him - but he did know what it felt like when it hit him. he raised an eyebrow at her question, shaking his head and offering a slight shrug. “nah not a power, just some sorta defect. and i didn’t steal anything - that’d imply i took it and you didn’t have it anymore. so if that-” he gestured to the dumpster that had exploded- “is what you’re power does, should i assume you were tryin’ to blow me up?”
・° / eyes narrowed a little as the man spoke, the idea of someone just casually being born with the ability to replicate powers sounding . . . well, sounding like a piss-poor excuse —— it didn't take a genius to figure out that something was clearly off with his explanation. still, said eyes did manage a roll when he implied she'd tried to blow him up, a hand lifting towards a street lamp a little ways down the alley —— it burst, glass flying for a split second before all shard froze in mid air, the little flame that had started to spark freezing as well. “ i tried to freeze you and walk past, you'd unfreeze in a few minutes —— you ate up the wrong power, amigo. “ nose wrinkled as she unfroze the mess she'd made, the sound of glass falling reaching her ears as she turned to look up at the stranger. “ y'know, 'm not a genius or anything, but i wouldn't call whatever you did a defect. sounds like you're in denial or something —— not that i blame you. this shit's not exactly fun. “
