Heart Game: Hurricane - Run 2

[At first, all is still; all is silent.]

[The only light is the light from your phone, where a checklist has taken over the screen. It reads:]

___ Make a change
___ Repair something
___ Protect something
___ Find the True Heart
___ Survive

[Then the light comes up, bright, and then brighter, and you are in…]

[ He stops in the doorway for just a few seconds to take in the layout and contents of the room, eyeing everything and everyone curiously. He takes a few steps towards the suit that stands out to him, glancing around at the workers busy with the other suits ]

Are these the munitions Intensity spoke about?

Ah, Talon. We've been expecting you.

Yes, yes, this is what R&D's been working on.

Have you...

[ Well, that's a little reassuring. ]

Can you give me a rundown of what the suits are capable of?

They improve your natural abilities, provide additional defense, and offer weapons that have a chance of actually taking the harbingers down.

I see. It sounds like a traditional exo-suit with specific upgrades then... I believe I should be able to get the hang of it quickly enough.

You synced with the heart in HQ, didn't you? The interface should come naturally to you.

Do you want to see yours?

I did. Glad to hear that was the right choice to make.

[ Nods eagerly! ]

Please, I'm excited to see it now.

This way. I'm pretty pleased with how this one came out.

[He leads you to your suit.]

[It's person-sized, slim but powerful, painted in gleaming shades of black and green. When the light catches the lines of it, it shimmers like an expensive sports car. The twin daggers that rest on the workbench beside it have laser-based blades instead of steel ones, glowing a muted green to match the armor. ]

[The hologram display hovering in the air nearby shows a turnaround of the schematics, underneath a header that reads CODENAME: ROBIN.]

[ Oh. Oh wow.

He's lighting up like a kid at his own birthday party, reaching for the laser daggers right away. LASER! DAGGERS!!! ]

You have really outdone yourselves.

Glad it meets your approval.

Ready to try it on?

I was born ready for this.

Just step in, then, and the suit will do the rest.

[ Yes yes yes; he's setting the daggers back down before climbing right into the suit, a little cautious since he's not sure what "do the rest" means ]

[waves from behind a holo-display]

[ Makes a face!! ]

Talon, hey! We're gonna save the whatever!

Hurricane. We're saving Hurricane, regardless of what his heart is calling it.

Yeah, yeah! He's really got a lot of defenses though, don't you think?

[ Looks at C

Looks around the room...

Looks back at C ]

It looks normal to me.

[wheeze heroes]

Of course it doesn't.

Well, it looks cool in any case, but there might be more to just saving the day, y'know.

I can't deny that possibility... Do you have any ideas about that to share?

I just find it telling that whatever metaphorical scenario we're in for Hurricane's headspace actually decided to ask us for help and put us to work immediately.

When's the last time Hurricane's like, ever asked anyone to really help him out?

I don't want to think about the answer to that question.

Do you suspect the harbingers may be Hurricane's recklessness itself? It does often turn out to be quite self-destructive.

It possibly could be. Hurricane's not as straight forward of an adrenaline junkie as he makes himself out to be.

Just be careful is what I'm saying. Look before you punch.

I know. I have seen how he is after things go badly. He underestimates the severity of his plans too much.

And I am nothing like him. I do not plan to destroy anything unless I am completely confident it will not impact him negatively.
