Snippet #1618824

Miles allowed Ruko to hobble ahead of him, since she seemed to be in some sort of pain and he wanted to make sure she could make it to the scene without passing out. He watched as she climbed atop the truck and after that, his attention was distracted by the blue-haired Nowhere that they'd all left at the apartments. He was relieved to see him finally coming to in time to join the action. He looked around to assess the situation at hand and calculate a proper move. When the giant brute of a creation went after Adrien, then Will, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He wouldn't outwardly admit, of course, that Randle frightened him on more levels than one, but he also wasn't going to complain about not having to deal with him.

"Oh, Adrien, I didn't know you had it in you," Miles said, smirking darkly as he stood confidently in front of Adrien who held a brunette-haired Control in his grasp, threatening to slice her up in not so many words. He put his hands on his hips. Four Controls: one nearby, one being threatened by Adrien, one distractedly attacking Will, and one on the roof doing something he couldn't quite see from his angle on the ground. Five Nowheres: Will distracting the hunk of junk metal, Adrien doing his surprisingly out of character act, the blue-haired boy jumping in for a 'heroic' attack, Ruko...somewhere. He glanced around but discovered she was nowhere in sight. "Well, that's not good..." he mumbled, shaking it off and turning to the Control with the light-blue hair.

He smiled warmly at the girl and strode cautiously over to her, unsure of what sort of powers she might have. "Well! Aren't you just adorable?" he said cheerily, going back to his little act. He leaned down so he could speak to her at eye level. "I understand you're upset with us, really I do. It was awful of us to leave you behind at the Labs." He cocked his head and looked to be confused. "But, you don't really want to leave anymore, do you? You like it there, don't you? The scientists, too?" He straightened up and patted the girl on the head. "Tell me--what's your name? My name's Miles. Tell me, why do you want to catch us? Because you were told to? You know, with all our powers combined, we could just take down that Lab." He raised an eyebrow, looking back down at her innocently. "Do you even know why you're fighting for something you hate?"
