This cellphone would have made things a hell of a lot easier back home.

The name's Diego Hargreeves. Not so happy to be stuck in another time and place. It's getting real old.

[OOC: We are assuming he showed up at the apartment in the middle of the night and scared the crap out of his siblings and was brought up to date at that point.]

	I appreciate the honesty. You can add one more hero to to the ranks. Who else we got here? Mary? Love that name. I'm Diego. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Too many to count, if I'm honest. There are a ton of people with powers here. Jedi. The Avengers. My brother and I. Witches and Wizards. All sort. I would say that at least 85% of people have some unusual ability. Thank you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're joking. Is it rude to ask what you can do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Not rude.

I would probably be skeptical if I were you too.

My adopted siblings and I were all sort of imbued with the powers of the ancient gods/demigods. The wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the great courage of Achilles and the speed of Mercury. When we are transformed we have supernatural strength, speed, stamina, durability. We can fly. I can withstand heat really well-- which I only learned here, if I'm being honest. It's not like I go running into fire a lot. You know. Super hero stuff. But that's only when we invoke the name first.

Most days I'm just studying pre-med, working in the clinic and trying to be as absolutely normal as possible.

	~~I can throw knives~~ Damn. That's impressive stuff. How many siblings do you have? Me and mine were adopted too. I'm going to assume you know of them, they're hard to miss. Just look for the walking disasters. Ah, but normal's no fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have five siblings, we've all been in foster care most of our lives. The Hargreeves? Yeah, my brother tends to make friends with a lot of people, so I've at least seen them around. Some of us only became heroes to help our brother. And because its the right thing to do. Some of us still want to be normal people most of the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Five is a lot to handle. That's how many I deal with on a daily basis now. I'm guessing you're included in the latter category? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	now? Yeah, only my brother is here now. Yeah. I love them though. I even picked a college close to home so I could stick around for them. I am. I've only had my powers for a few weeks before I showed up here. I've only used them when I've had too. I much prefer helping everyone with my brain, working in the clinic.

	That's more than mine did. Once we were old enough we all went our separate ways and didn't see each other for 10 years. Someone's gotta do it. Thank you for your service. It's an important job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That... is really sad. I spent a lot of time wishing wanting to start over and be someone else, but when the time came to do it... I realized that my family was more important. Couldn't be away from those knuckle heads. My service? It's not that serious, but thanks. I'm just an assistant right now, mostly just make sure everything is clean and stocked.

	It was... quiet. I think I preferred it that way, honestly. Sounds like you guys are really close. Hey, even the people at the bottom tend to hold everything else up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ladyshazam 2020-08-05 02:10 am UTC (link)
	I can get behind that. Five siblings can be a lot. As someone who was deemed unadoptable, finding a home wasn't something I thought I would ever find. So yeah, we're close. Even if they are pains sometimes. Yeah. Thanks. Hope I don't see you there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Glad you managed to find that here. I wouldn't count on it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I'll have to set aside a bunch of special band aids for you then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
