How would the ROs react if every time they meet up with civilian MC they are always late and would give them different excuses when in reality MC was held back by super hero stuff
(Bonus is that Arya remembers that MC was normally always on time)
this is a great question because it’s definitely something that pops up in the story!
i imagine aguilera would be instantly suspicious. especially if something big has happened in the city that the police have got to know about, the cogs in their brain would instantly start turning. unless the cover-up is super convincing and they’re given probable cause to believe otherwise, the suspicion would stay.
nian would be similarly suspicious, but that’s only when she’s not involved in the same matter as well. if she was involved in the same superhero business as MC she’d be trying her hardest to dole out convincing excuses as well lmfaoo
jo would be annoyed at first, because their time is getting wasted as they wait. depending on how good the excuse is, they’re surprisingly the most likely to accept it as is and simply chalk it up to MC just not being a punctual person. if the excuse isn’t too good they’d assume MC was hiding something but not really want to probe into it deeper
vinny at first would also just assume that MC isn’t punctual, but as time goes on he’d start to get suspicious too. i imagine he’d be in denial about it for a long time though, especially if he’s close with MC, and before he makes a conclusion he’d attempt to gather as much evidence as possible so that he doesn’t falsely accuse or make ill-thought assumptions
arya would be worried at first, especially if MC normally used to be on time. they’d be concerned that MC is going through something really bad. they wouldn’t assume that it’s related to superhero stuff at first, they’d be more concerned that something was wrong with MC’s personal life that they’re struggling with
