[ 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.

Oh wow, three years. I was only gone a year before the Porter brought me back.

..Well, there's another Porter city, now. I don't think Jeopardy would have been here three years ago.

[microbrobotics]

[ Judging by Hiro's eyes widening, it sure wasn't. ]

Wait what? Seriously? Where is it? Please tell me we finally have one on the West coast.

[recommendations]

Not quite, but almost! It's in Nevada. Are you from the West coast, yourself?

[Okay so.

So.

There are a lot of things in this video that have his attention. Many questions to be asked, lines of professional inquiry to be investigated, cool things to nerd at.

BUT ALSO]

Please tell me that’s your Quirk.

[There’s already the obvious clunking and shuffling of someone trying to prop up their comm and messing with papers. Priorities, he has them!]

[bifroster]

You've been here multiple times and have retained your memories upon coming back?

[She thinks she's only met one other person who has had that experience, but she might not be sure.]

But cool robot. Freelancing might be the way to go, since internships are a horrible institution anyways.

[microbrobotics]

[ Hmm. He tilts his head back and forth, thinking about that. ]

I mean. Nevada kind of sucks, but sure, I'll take it. I'm from San Fransokyo.

[microbrobotics]

[ Hiro keeps the video feed running, but he really doesn't care if it's audio or video, really. He just kind of blinks, confused. ]

Uh, what's a Quirk?

[microbrobotics]

Yep. Kept 'em both times too. Though honestly I don't remember much about the second time? Like, it's a blur.

[ Because it was three years ago and his player can't be assed to look it up, okay. ]

Seriously. I only took the one with Krei because he's an idiot who needed me to protect him.

[mysterioisthetruth]

A tech genius, huh?

And if you're talking about Tony Stark, you can do far better than working for him.

I could use a technical assistant if you're not all talk.

[recommendations]

[ ...What. ]

Do you mean San Francisco?

[microbrobotics]

[ Hiro brightens with interest. ]

Depends on the tech. I only work on cool stuff.

[ Caspar's been here a couple months now but modern technology always has new things to throw at him and these little robot things are new! ]

Whoa, what are those things? And what's the difference between normal armor and superhero armor?

[microbrobotics]

Noooope. San Francisco is the inferior version that apparently every other world has.

[tadeadshi]

good to know you're still a show off

ID reads "All Might"

[onederfulhero]

Building support items is a great job for a hero! Not everyone has the skill, and so your expertise will be valued, I hope!

[microbrobotics]

What, these?

[ He holds out his hand and a tiny, chubby white robot lands, blinking at the camera with its tiny, beady eyes. ]

This is a Baymini. I made 'em the last time I was here. And I can demonstrate the armor, but you're gonna have to hold onto your butt.

[bifroster]

Well, a lot has happened. So maybe it won't matter too much?

[It would be impossible to look all that up anyways. Unless someone took notes.]

Really? That's a bodyguard, not an intern!

[microbrobotics]

exCUSE you
i need to make an impression here
and as much as i appreciate that full bank account tech is expensive

[mysterioisthetruth]

What you already mentioned are all also interests of mine and I have greater and more far reaching plans for this technology than Stark ever had.

[microbrobotics]

I mean, that's the idea, yeah. Ideally the money kind of value, but I'll also take "helping people because they need something really cool built."

[heroondecku]

Oh, right. Your, um, superpower?

[There’s a sheepish chuckle. He has really got to slow down more here...even with the uncanny effect it’s easy to forget not to call them that to strangers, especially when he’s excited.]

That’s what we call them where I’m from. Sorry about that.

[recommendations]

Oh.

[ Strange, but not too strange. Momo has tried to look up cities from her own world on online maps here, only to find they don't exist in this world's Japan. ]

Come to think of it, there was someone else who told me San Francisco was inferior...

[microbrobotics]

I mean, in his defense, I'm not sure what else he could have called me? I'm kind of a superhero back home.

[microbrobotics]

What, robots and superhero armor? Hologram stuff?

[onederfulhero]

The desire to make a living is indeed a worthy pursuit, but the latter part is noble as well!

Is this a superpower you have, or is it self-taught skill?
