[ The feed focuses in on a dark-haired teenager sitting on a chair in the middle of ... well. It's junk? Definitely junk, though it's currently floating in midair, like about six exploded diagrams all intermingled and hanging out at once. ]

Okay. I've already been here like twice, so I don't need the usual stuff about how housing works, and swear-ins, and blah blah whatever blah. Buuuut it's been three years since I was last here, so updates? Updates would be great.

[ He swivels in his chair, reaching out to adjust one of the parts in midair. ]

Anyway. I'm Hiro and I'm a tech genius. Also apparently Stark bailed somewhere in the last three years, so I'm out of work? Which sucks. It's such a pain finding somewhere that will hire a teenager for actual work without it being an "internship" or crap like that.

[ A tiny flying robot drifts over, handing Hiro a can of soda. ]

So I'm changing it up. Freelance only. I can build pretty much anything if you've got the resources for it, buuuut robots and superhero armor are my strong points. Also built a wicked holodeck back home, just saying.

[He listens and starts to grin once he understands.]

That could work. ...But what about the power cancelling fields or whatever they got in there?

[microbrobotics]

That's the beauty of tech, dude. It's not a power. Cancellation fields won't do anything.

[hot_handed]

[Shit, he's right. Katsuki flattens his expression so he doesn't look too hopeful.]

Name your price.

[microbrobotics]

[ Ha. Hiro grins and rattles off a ridiculously high sum. Not expecting Katsuki to take it, but. He enjoys haggling. ]

[hot_handed]

WHAT?!?!

[Katsuki's eyes widen when he realizes how long that's going to take. But...it is a spaceship-slash-robot. That could get them out of there. It's worth it. He shakes his head and grumbles.]

Fine. But I can't get it to ya all at once.

[microbrobotics]

[ Oh man. He likes this guy. He likes this guy a lot. ]

All right, I guess. But you gotta keep my help a secret from the government if they catch you.

[hot_handed]

Yeah, yeah don't worry. [He smirks.] I can keep a secret.

[microbrobotics]

Sweet. Then we're in business.

[ He grins into the camera. ]

I'm Hiro, by the way. Hiro Hamada.

[hot_handed]

[Katsuki returns the grin, but his is a lot more aggressive.]

Katsuki Bakugou. But you can just call me LORD EXPLOSION MURDER!!!

[microbrobotics]

[ It takes every single ounce of willpower he has to keep a straight face. Fortunately, he has practice from dealing with Fred. ]

Can I call you Lem for short?

[ ... Okay, it's only mostly a straight face. ]

[hot_handed]

[Give him a second to realize he's been insulted. His eye starts twitching in irritation.]

You wanna die?

[microbrobotics]

If you kill me, I can't make your robot.

[hot_handed]

FUCK!!! Fine. [Damn nerds and their logic.] Just call me Bakugou.

[microbrobotics]

You got it, Bakugou. Gimme like a week to make a mock-up.

[hot_handed]

Cool-

[Hang on a fucking second.]

Who's your brother?

[microbrobotics]

Tadashi Hamada. Tall, wears a baseball cap and an "I know what's best for you" face all the time?

[hot_handed]

THAT CONDESCENDING ASSHOLE!!!!

Tell him to hurry the fuck up with my gear.

[microbrobotics]

[ He really likes you now. ]

You got him to make something for you?

[hot_handed]

[Katsuki rolls his eyes so hard it gives him a headache.] He thinks he can improve upon my already flawless design. Says I might be straining my arms.

I'm just waiting to prove him wrong!

[microbrobotics]

Yeah? What's your design look like?

[hot_handed]

Hang on-

[He goes out of shot for a moment, bringing back one of his grenadier bracers.]

I wear 'em on my arms.

[tadeadshi]

Getting the right parts and materials takes time you know. I assume you wanted me to take this seriously?

[hot_handed]

????


WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU COME FROM?!?!

[tadeadshi]

This is a public post.

[hot_handed]

Mind your own business! Don't just interject in our conversation, it's bad manners!

And yeah I want you to take this seriously!
