Prompt #198 - My Power

[john_ispyro]

Prompt: If you could have any mutant/super power, which one would it be, and what would you do with it? (If you already have a mutant or super power, what one would you trade it in for?)

You're fucking kidding me, right? You're asking Pyro if he would want to trade in his pyrokinesis? Not fucking likely. At all.

As if I would want to trade my

I feel like you didn't really answer this question.

I'm not criticizing, just pointing it out.

[john_ispyro]

That's because it's stupid and irrelevant.

Who the hell are you?

[onetime_actor]

Be that as it may, I presume that you voluntarily joined this community and in doing so assented to answer the questions.

Henry Hellrung, field leader of The Order.

[john_ispyro]

WTF? I answer questions all the god damn time. Just because I answered this one differently didn't mean that I didn't answer it.

The Order? Is that one of those human Initiative groups?

[onetime_actor]

Your answer wasn't responsive.

And yes, it is.

[john_ispyro]

What the fuck ever. Got a response out of you.

Oh. Why are you talking to me?

[onetime_actor]

The question says: If you already have a mutant or super power, what one would you trade it in for?

Your answer indicated that you would refuse to make such a trade, but that's not an option.

Isn't the purpose of this community to facilitate dialogue?

[john_ispyro]

I made it an option. And I'm certainly not the only one who has. Are you off nagging them about it too?

Yeah, but. Your sort don't usually talk to me.

[onetime_actor]

I wasn't nagging, I just thought you might have misread the question. And I've had this conversation, or one like it, a lot lately. So it was on my mnd when I saw your response.

So who are you, and what is 'my kind' suposed to be?

[john_ispyro]

Guess I was thinking outside the box. More than the question. Not limiting myself. You're a very "by the books" sort of guy, aren't you? *snort*

I'm Pyro. A member of the Brotherhood. And 'your kind' are members of S.H.I.E.L.D, who want to throw my ass in jail.

[onetime_actor]

What you were doing was not answering the question. And I'm not, especially, actually. By the book. I do like to pay attention to what the book says, though. Especially because I'm kind of new about all of this.

Oh, yes, the Brotherhood. Well, that's actually something I have no particular desire to do. Unless you try something in California, and you force my hand. And I don't think you want to do that. My team is quite formidable.

[john_ispyro]

New to all of what? Answering questions?

Oh, good to know. No, I won't force your hand. I'm usually pretty sneaky and you won't even know I'm there until I'm gone. Not that I've been to California much. Just once, actually.

[onetime_actor]

New to the metahuman business.

How did you find California?

PS

[onetime_actor]

I just wanted to point out that one of your colleagues answered the question exceedingly well.

You're kidding, right?

Should I be?
