002 - [Action/Voice]
[Late in the morning, only just after he had his morning coffee and just fixed toast for breakfast, Teddy had been surprised to find himself being shoved out of the apartment by his own boyfriend. Soon, he found himself blinking at the front door, a piece of cinnamoned toast still in his hand as the post-it note with his name beside Billy's door sign fluttered mournfully to the ground.
He got out a pitiful whine and forlornly posted the note back up before he ushered himself outside, finishing his toast in the meantime.
During the day, Teddy can be found at multiple places. The first is the Battledome, where he fiddles with the settings, some as harmless as a movie theater and some as dangerous as a warzone, but he doesn't fully go through with them. He's merely going through the options for later use. He may mutter to himself about how this must be what the Danger Room is like, and he may even be up for a light spar or something different if someone found him.
The second is Seventh Heaven, where he eats a light lunch of a small burger with fries, and he's a little proud of how he didn't compare it to New York's food outloud. It doen't mean he doesn't think it, though, and he spends more time subtly people watching and listening to conversations than really focusing on food and what the homelife was like. When he's done, he doodles a few musical notes on a napkin, again to possibly be used at a later date, before he stuffs that in his pocket.
The final place is on the roof of the school. He's not doing much of anything up there, just sitting with his legs pulled up and looking out over the village.
Teddy still can't help marveling over how different this place is from what he's used to. There aren't any sounds of car alarms or horns, no distant conversations or laughter, no police sirens or a far off explosion from an invading force (though, Teddy thinks to himself, he ought to be more thankful for the lack of the latter). Occasionally at night, he still wakes up and thinks that it's too quiet, too dark. And he really hopes he's not the only one who thinks that way.
With that thought in mind, Teddy reaches behind him to take the journal, left open in case Billy decides to let him back into the apartment, and decides to address the masses.]
Does anyone else feel seriously out of place here, or am I just being weird? And I don't mean the whole, "being held captive and having to suffer through lame shifts", but just the setting in general. Anyone else out there come from a home that's completely different from a village straight out of Golden Sun?
[He decides then that he'll chat with people for a while, then venture off the roof and see if Billy will allow him back inside. Not that Teddy knows what he did to deserve being kicked outside, but maybe he can beg for forgiveness enough to be let back in.]

[Voice]
[He grins big, because you've clearly hit the best topic ever, bro!]
It's always good to see other younger fellas getting into the hero business! What's your hero name? I'm Wild Tiger!!
[or like WAIRUDO TAIGA! Take your pick. Heh.]
[Voice]
Was it barely containable happiness over the way he said that name
Yeah probably.]
Haha - uh... I-It's not that special. I'm Hulkling.
[Voice]
[I SUPPORT ALL HEROES NO MATTER WHAT
Besides, it's really a cool name to him, so whatevs.]
[Voice]
But wait. WAIT.]
That's kind of what I was going for, but... you know about Hulk? The Avengers too?
[And omg he actually thinks his name is great
omg]
[Voice]
I guess I'm part of this little, uh... group-of-heroes thing. Since we're all scattered from our usual teams.
[Voice]
WELL THAT'S FINE AND STILL AWESOME. Teddy just can't hold his giddiness back, gosh.]
That's awesome. I actually know about them back at home, too. Me and my... group-of-heroes thing, we were trying to impersonate them a little when we first started out. I'm a shapeshifter... so I could turn into something like the Hulk. We've gotten away from that when we became more of our own group, but the name just stuck with me.
[Voice]
[Voice]
Yeah, yeah, he thinks he remembers that. Even if he didn't, he can certainly understand it.]
Oh dude, I had so many heroes I looked up to when I was a kid! Captain America, The Wasp... Captain Marvel. [Never mind the guy actually being his father and him never knowing it until recently.] I must've collected everything hero related back then; still do now. Heh, I even wanted to be a part of the X-Men before I got with my own group. [Though now that's impossible. No, he's not just slightly bitter on the "why".] It... ha. It took me a while to figure out how to use my powers to really help people, but now that I have? I try to fight just like them; with justice and for the good of the people.
[Voice]
[HE IS SO NOT AN ADULT, and he is so okay with that.
More importantly:]
I bet those heroes you looked up to'd all be really proud of how good you're doing for yourself, Hulking.
[And hey, you got the justice bit down, so that's great. 3:^D]
[Voice]
[fffffff this is SO AWESOME, he had NO IDEA Kotetsu was a fanboy too! And he's even older than him! Oh man, this is great. Now he knows his hero worship and geekitude isn't "just a phase". He is TOTALLY going to be Kotetsu when he's older.
... Who knows if that's a good thing to shoot for.]
[Voice] 1/2
Teddy, it's great to meet ya, from one hero to another! Don't sweat it too much--some heroes are kinda snooty sometimes; I used to know a guy who thought he was cream of the crop just because he had some experience goin' for him. Lately it's been the younger kids who've been harder to work with...
[Voice]
[Voice]
So - what's your younger generation like, if they're not into that?
[Voice]
[Voice]
[Sure, he's seen a couple episodes and knows the premise, but to hear it from a hero like himself; it just seems kind of... wrong.]
So they'd let the bad guy get away just because a commercial's coming on?
[Voice]
[Voice]
[...] Well, maybe not punch them, but definitely keep fighting and not listen to any of that crap.
[It's irritating. But a thought comes to him, one that makes him smile.]
You act like a true hero to me, you know?
[Voice]
I just try to do good by what's right. That's pretty important for a hero to work for.
... I'm glad you think so, though.
[Voice]
[Kate is one. She doesn't have any powers yet still manages to keep up and give to people who need it. Eli is one, even before he got his own powers. He was a little insane, yeah, but he put his whole heart into stopping people from doing what was wrong.]
So... yeah. That's just what I think. [And wow that was a little awkward - This is Kotetsu, who knows this, lives and breathes being a hero. He doesn't need some kid saying all that.]
[Voice]
[Voice]
One of the greats? That's - Honestly, it's very flattering, seeing how the adults in Teddy's world don't seem to think they're capable of going that far. Heck, they tried to shut them all down at first - right now, it's enough to think that they're accepted as a group, even if everyone thinks they're still wet behind the ears. And they are, but...]
Uh... thanks. I'm... still a kid though, so... I've got a long way to go.
