Tweak says, "just spam curaga!"

[Mr.Terrific] Mr. Terrific walks the corridors of the Justice League Watchtower. He has just been in the Trophy Room, learning things about the League's history and how strange the world can apparently be. The strangeness is actually comforting, because he is strange. The dog pads along next to him.

[Piper] Piper was on the move looking for Mr. Terrific after checking his room, talking with Ryder through her earpiece as she did. He was letting her know that she had to come home tomorrow because they had sunday dinner with their parents. It really would have taken a minute to tell her that if he didn't grumble and mutter about it for about three minutes before that. He's acting like an ass. She shuts her earpiece off so she can look Terrific without Ryder muttering in her ear, finding him less than a minute later. "You're a hard man to find." She pats her legs to call the dog over and give him a scratch behind his ear. "Thought you'd be in your room."

[Mr.Terrific] Mr. Terrific smiles. "We were in your Trophy Room. I was curious." It is probably the most interesting place in the Watchtower. Learning some history was really interesting for him, considering he barely has any history himself. "I was in there for longer than I expected to be. I wanted to see it all."

[Piper] "I'm sure that was interesting for one of you." The dog probably didn't really care for it. At least he hopefully wasn't smudging up the glass with his paws. She gives him another scratch and let's him go back to Mr. Terrific. "I need to head back home tomorrow. I have something with my family so I'll probably be gone most of the day." Thought she should let him know.

[Mr.Terrific] "Oh, he likes most new places. And we even found a name for him there. This is Tornado." Mr. Terrific motions to the dog. He decided to name the dog after the former android Justice Leaguer Red Tornado. It was comforting to find out that he was not so alone and unique as a sentient android in the world.

[Piper] The fact that he's not should mean that there's less people surprised by him, doesn't seem to be the case. "Tornado. I guess you've talked it over with him." She's not sure how well Mr. Terrific and the dog understand each other. "Is it okay leaving you here for the day? I can ask Redbird to keep you company again if she's free."

[Mr.Terrific] "Having a name is a new source of attention for him, which he likes." Mr. Terrific likely could have called Tornado anything and the dog would have liked it all the same. He pets the dog on the head and stays quiet for a moment. "I've been thinking of other things too. And this isn't easy for me. But I think I should leave."

[Piper] Piper pauses, staring over at Mr. Terrific. "Why?" They can keep him safe here. "I know it's hard to get use to, but you will. It just takes time."

[Mr.Terrific] "I've had time, which I'm glad for. I've been able to think, and now I realize what I should do." Mr. Terrific can make a decision now without being cornered into it. "I'm safe, but you aren't safe. Your friends aren't, and neither is this city. Not if there's a way to remotely detonate my brain."

[Piper] "We're on the Justice League. We're never safe." Just about every criminal out there wants to kill them. "...I can talk to Ryder. He can figure out something temporaily while he works on something permanent." Some sort of blocker or jammer or whatever it is to make sure he can't be detonated. What ever it would be. It's not her job to figure it out, it's his.

[Mr.Terrific] "Finding a solution will take time, and I'll be dangerous to everyone around me during that time." Despite everything else he is, Mr. Terrific understands that he is still a walking bomb. "I have to isolate myself somewhere and learn how to prevent anyone from using me as a weapon."

[Piper] Piper stays silent for a moment, and then nods her head. It makes sense, she just doesn't like it. "I just wish you'd..." She stops herself, there's no point in getting upset at this since it's obvious something he thinks he has to do. It's best just to pull herself back from it. "When will you leave?"

[Mr.Terrific] Mr. Terrific knows though, and he won't say anything either. "I suppose... tomorrow." Since Piper has said she'll be leaving for home tomorrow, it seems like a given time for him to leave as well. That's easier than arbitrarily picking another day.

[Piper] There's another pause and another nod, now she's not so much looking at Mr. Terrific as looking past him. "Okay." It's hard not to fall into old habits of getting distant, even if Mr. Terrific can tell. "You'll have to pick up things for Tornado." He'll need food.

[Mr.Terrific] Mr. Terrific understands it somewhat -- or at least, he's aware of how Piper understands it. "Will you... help me with that?" It is something they could do before he leaves, picking up things for Tornado.

[Piper] "We can do it now if you want." She's not busy, considering that she was going to spend the time with him anyways. Or was hoping to. It would also be distracting for awhile.

[Mr.Terrific] Smiling, Mr. Terrific nods. "I do want to. This will be a date." He knows what dates are now. Mar'i's brain can be thanked for Mr. Terrific having dating knowledge now.

[Piper] Okay, so that might have got a smile out of Piper. "You know, dates usually mean dinner and not going out and buying dog food and chew toys." If that's what comes from Mar'i's mind then she has some scary dates.

[Mr.Terrific] Good! Mr. Terrific wanted a smile. "Yes, but..." He has to think for a second. Is Mar'i's brain still around? Ah! "It is a shopping date. Or aa see the city date."

[Piper] Piper would let him know that a shopping date is usually a girl thing, but it's nice that he's trying. It's even sweet. "Okay...just let me get changed." She can't go to the store in her costume.

[Mr.Terrific] "Then I will be in my room when you're ready." Hm. Mr. Terrific thinks he can turn his face T off. He will go stand in front of a mirror, trying to do exactly that.
