[Gohan is sitting in the High School library, reading books, obviously studying for a test, though he sometimes glances up to see if someone comes.]

Huh, I wonder what happened. They were supposed to be here a few minutes ago.

[He looked slightly annoyed, but he had little better to do this afternoon. As it had been relatively quiet.]

[Sigh] I guess I'll just wait a few more minutes.

I'm the Flame Hair burning eyed hunter, contracted to the Flame of the Heavens. Of course I'm the best.

[ She gives Gohan an amused look. ]

I don't know, I think his costume is actually pretty lame. It's nice that he fights to be a hero of justice and all, but that's not really my job. I maintain the balance.

[Gohan looks serious for a moment]

When I was a kid, Shana, I had to fight someone called Cell, the ultimate fighter. He was a cyborg from the future, who was made using the cells from my father, and several of his enemies and allies. He was a monster, and easily destroyed almost everyone he came across, even the greatest fighters in the world at that time.

[He pauses a moment, then looks down]
He killed my dad, but not before he trained me so that I'd be able to fight on that monster's level. I ended up killing the ultimate fighter, though dedication, training, and a reason to fight. And it was a hell of a fight, probably one of the best that I've ever been in. Those days are behind me now, though I kind of miss it. Only a little, though.
[He blinks and then looks up at Shana]
What I'm trying to say is that a title doesn't mean anything, and there's always someone stronger. If you don't think of things like that, it could be really bad, and I don't want to see you hurt. I've lost too many friends that way.

[He looks hurt as Shana tells him the costume was lame]
What? Lame! That costume is the coolest thing in the world, what with the helmet and the cape! What makes it lame?
[He crosses his arms and looks down, almost in a pout]

[ Shana listens to what he says, but dismisses it by turning away, and not answering his words, but when he mentions the costume., she says,]

Because it looks like something your mom made, Gohan.

[Gohan just frowns at her dismissal, but says nothing about it. Of course, after that, she says something that really triggers him.]

Looks like my mom made it! She didn't make it, it was Aun...

[He gets a horrified look of realization on his face, and the color drains from it.]

I, uh, I mean it doesn't look like someone's mom made it. It looks like it was exquisitely designed to the utmost standards of keeping one's identity...

[A pause.]

It doesn't look any sillier than Booster Gold's costume, anyway! Or that Spiderman or Iron Man guy. Well, actually their costumes look really cool, but...

[Another pause, then Gohan drops his head with a dejected sigh.]

You're not buying this in the slightest, are you? What tipped you off?
enpatsushakugannouchite: (pointy)

[personal profile] enpatsushakugannouchite 2012-01-16 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
So it WAS you.

[ Shana points at him and grins. ]

I knew it! And you're the lamest hero of all.

Well... [ Shana shrugs. ]

Most people don't notice me when I watch them, because I'm so small. That's how I caught you.

[At 'lamest', there is a slight flicker around Gohan, who grits his teeth]
It's *not* a lame costume. It's a *symbol*. When I wear the costume, I'm doing it so that I can fight bad people while keeping my identity secret. I'm not doing it for fame or glory, but because it's the right thing to do.

[He takes a breath, and then seems to calm down a bit.]
The second that it becomes about glory, or because it's too much fun to just lose myself in the fighting, I'm done. I love to fight, but I don't like it. I just want to be a normal teenager, but I can't ignore my abilities or strength, because that would be a waste. Plus, I don't like seeing others hurt. [A shrug.] Guess that might make me weird, but that's just the way I see it.

[There's a pause as she mentions that people don't notice her.]
Well, I'm sorry about that. I guess I should pay better attention. I should have learned that from Krillin a long time ago.
