Akio quite enjoyed flying. He'd been on airplanes since before he could remember, usually flying out to see his father for a few days one weekend when he couldn't make it, or on some family vacation his mother insisted they take. It wasn't so bad for him any more, he was used to the long lines in security, the bumpy air flight, the being stuck in a metal tube with a few hundred people for way to many hours. He also flew first class, but that was besides the point, he didn't mind it at all. So even though the flight from LA to New York was pretty long by most people's standards, for Akio it was simply a few more hours to catch up on his homework and a bit of a nap. Unlike many of his fellow passengers, he got of the plane feeling just as energized and awake as when he woke up that morning.<br/><br/>Only a few hours after landing, Akio already had his bags in his room at a lesser known hotel (still a pretty nice one though) and was out to see the city. And what a city it was. He had only been walking around for a few minutes before he'd already seen his first hero sighting, Spider-Women swung past, nearly skimming the tops of some of the busses as she zoomed by. Akio rubbernecked shamelessly, he didn't even try to pretend not to be a tourist. The buildings, the people, the constant thrum of noise, it was all so familiar and yet so alien. LA had noise and buildings and people, but all of them had a different pulse, a different beat that they moved to. LA was relaxed and fluid, but New York seemed so... energized. It wasn't a mystery at all to Akio why there were so many more New York hero's, the city itself felt heroic in some way.<br/><br/>Given only half an hour, Akio already saw two other heroes (or villains, if certain news papers were to be believed) flying over head. Now he was glad that he had chosen to walk around as a civilian before taking to the rooftops, he was pretty sure he would have already gotten in some sort of fight or misunderstanding. With this many super humans in one place, the whole idea of what Akio was here looking for seemed more and more complicated by the second. Maybe he would sight see for a little longer, and even drop in on Stark Industries. His father was a significant business partner with Ms. Stark, and Akio was fairly sure he could swing some sort of tour. Hell, maybe he'd get lucky and meet Iron Women and get some help without even having to suit up...
