“You Okay?” - 3x14 Flashback

[staticshockya-blog]

“You’ve been shorted out before and your powers came back– besides, I’ve still got the Bang Baby antidote made, too.” He reassured his friend, his test subject for most of his inventions. If he and Virgil weren’t so tight, he wouldn’t even make such a request. But growing up they’d been closer than brothers. Despite initial jealousy over his superhuman powers, he eventually accepted Virgil’s unique abilities.

Even before his own bang baby powers developed, he worked to invent new devices for Static to use. Now of course, he had his own inventions to worry about. He’d even been fiddling with the idea of modifying backpack…

“Fine fine– if you’re out more than a few hours, you can help yourself to whatever comics you want from my collection.” Crossing the room he gestured to a cardboard box on the floor. “Or you know– whatever I managed to sneak out of my parent’s place before–” He trailed off, clearing his throat.

“I’ve got your back, V-man. Always.” Instinctively he reached up to push up his glasses that were no longer there– ever since junior year he’d opted to wear contacts. They were easier to work with and made changing into his Gear attire more swift.

“You know what, fair.” a few comics in exchange for gettin the possible piss kicked out of him? Yeah, that sounded like a trade to Virgil. The awkward pause hadn’t gone unnoticed by Virgil, but he knew better’n to bring up Richie’s folks. Touchy subject, all that.

“Aight Richie, let’s get this over with. Hit me.” Now that he thought about it, this was pretty exciting. Testing out Richie’s inventions were always a new insight into something, and they could definitely use this for some good later on down the line.

A tiny portion of Virg just wished it weren’t always at his expense, or bein tested on him. Couldn’t they get like, monkeys or somethin?

“Rich when have you ever let a gal other than your ma into your room"  ”Bro you can’t even talk. The only girl who ever comes into your room is Sharon, and she needs a gas mask to do it!“  ”Hey– ….wait, y'know what props that’s fair game. hell.“

Piccolo smiled at the boy’s politeness, but slowly looked confused as he had no clue where this “Dakota City” was.

“I’m sorry, but I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of ‘Dakota City’s before.” He rubbed his neck nervously, straining to think of what information he could offer to help. “We’re currently in West City, if that gives you any perspective?”

Virgil’s eyes went bout as wide as dinner plates when the big green guy explained that he had never heard of Dakota City before; whoa, had he really been thrown that far? What was that, some kinda teleportation technique then? But, this dude was speakin a language Virg could understand, so he had to be close by, at least....

“West City, West City...” he was repeating the name, trying to place it, but well, Virgil had never been that good with global stuff. Besides, maybe it was a smaller city tucked away that no one ever talked about. He hummed, but smiled regardless because he didn’t want to make the other dude worry so much,

“Afraid that isn’t ringing any bells, Sir. Uh, thank you though. I’m sure I can f-- find a way around this.” he had just about said ‘fly around and look’, stupidly. His mind was in all sorts of places, damn, get it together, Virgil!!

Piccolo looked down at the young human and raised a brow. Seldomly did a human, let alone a younger one, come up to him and speak of their own free will.

“Uh…sure?” He offered. “Where are you trying to get to?” It felt strange talking to someone on the street so casually. Normally when he went into town to buy water he was only met with blank looks and disgusted stares.

He was somewhat glad that he had been approached so kindly, yet he could tell something about the boy was…off. different.

“Dakota City, sir,” somethin bout this guy, Virgil was realizing, felt like it held a strength. Kinda like the guy who took notice in a room, just this presence. That kind of person deserved respect, sides, his pops had taught him manners -- Virgil had just been a bit quick to be casual given the other’s, uh, appearance, n’that was pretty shitty.

“Just some general directions should be fine, I’m sure I can find a route there.”

“I’m gonna be honest with ya, V. I don’t know how long this would knock out bang baby powers– hence why I need a live subject to test it on.” He did his best to project confidence. He’d made a solid product here– taken the time to balance the chemical ratios. There had even been early tests of the concoction on himself– once he’d made sure it wasn’t permanent. 

Massive intellect and electromagnetic powers were two different things. If he wanted to see how it would affect a strong bang baby, he’d need Virgil’s help.

“Besides, if you short out we’ve still got the backup plan.” Static in a can, essentially. They’d faked it before.

“Worst case, Rubberband Man and I can handle things until you spark back up.”

“Richie ya say that like it’s just a walk’n the park or somethin,” Virgil sounds amused, more’n scared now. Trust it to Richie to think that Virgil could handle just bout anything. Honestly, he felt he could, but he wasn’t as prideful or cocky as he’d been two years ago. He knew his own limits now, and well, not knowing something fully kinda freaked him out.

Specially when it came to his powers’n all that.

“F’this shit knocks me outta commish, you’re gonna owe me more’n a canister of static.” could that be-- flirting? Nawh. Just a friendly banter, a light jab. That aside, Virgil had been looking for an excuse to see Richie more outside’a ‘work’ and the occasional call. They both had it busy, and that severely cut into their hang time.

Virgil: It's amazing. There are black people everywhere.

Ritchie: Dude, you're in Africa.

Virgil: No, Ritchie. Ever since I got here I've felt different. Connected.

Ritchie: You know, my dad went to Ireland. He got all goofy, too.

Virgil: It's not like that. It's like I've been carrying this weight around all my life without knowing it, and now it's gone.

Ritchie: What're you talking about, Virge?

Virgil: In Africa, I'm not a black kid, I'm just a kid. Is this what it feels like for you all of the time?

Ritchie: Yeah... I... guess.

Virgil: Feels good!

@king-of-dads​ (the green guy.)

Virgil couldn’t help but stare, cause’a two things.

One) this guy was tall as fuck.

Two) he was green.

Now, Virg wasn’t one’t judge a man by his skin colour. Bein’ of a darker complexion himself, he got the guff. He knew that struggle, real hard. That said, outside bang babies, he weren’t used’t seein people the colour of fuckin tree leaves.

Clearing his throat, he managed a smile,

“--Hey there man. Y’mind helpin a brother out? M’kinda lost, yeah, I don’t know where this place is exactly.” he’d gotten hit with a weird light from a bang baby earlier, before he could get into his static digs ( they were, as always, in his backpack ), and then he’d woken up after a dirt nap, no longer in Dakota City.

[staticshockya-blog]

"Hey V. I need your help with something-- I'm testing a new metahuman trap. Gonna need you to spark up, just so I can be sure it works." He hefts an orb in his hand, appearing as nonchalant as any other day. "If I'm right-- this should help us handle jerks like Francis and Ebon. Without all the--- you know-- senseless destruction of public property."

He smiles, mostly to hide the fear cause Virg knows that Richie’s inventions are not somethin to just laugh off. Indeed, a light chuckle does leave him, and his hands raise, palms outward,

“Just a minute, Richie. Y’sure that thing’s… safe? I ain’t knockin’ your traps man, they good, just– hell. How long I gonna be out if that thing works the way you’re thinkin it’s gonna work?” He’s down to test, just, wants to know what he’ll be stepping into.

If he’s gonna become some kinda half-baked, blubbering mess for a few minutes, he’d like a heads up first.
