The two sidekicks were led silently through the building and into the office. At the invitation of Shadow Angel, Siren first took a seat, then Nico next to her. It was easy now to distract himself from the tension, as soon after they had taken their spots, the promise of further initiation into the agency hung in the air. But before they could get to that, a briefing of their individual quirks was needed, and Siren was soon asked to step forward.<br/><br/>As the dialogue between the two women indued, the young sidekick listened to the back-and-forth. A question was asked, then an answer, a suggestion, and so on. Hearing the details of the other sidekick's quirks had his interest piqued, he'd hate to admit. The quirk in and of itself probably wouldn't be much without proper use, but fused with Siren's impressive handling and execution, it was a quirk more than worthy of a hero's title. He listened with intent, displaying too much interest than he would have liked if he'd been able to see himself. Leaning forward, elbows propped on knees, his green gaze narrowed thoughtfully. Mimicry, suggestion, manipulation of emotions, even; the possibilities seemed endless. His mind raced back to the robbery before, how Siren had taken action, and subdued the threats with nothing more than a song. Lost in thought, it was his turn to speak before he knew it, and the sudden attention jolted him to reality.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #FF4040">What? Oh, uh..</span>" he murmured, then went was silent for a moment. He drew in a contemplative breath, a surprised expression now growing thoughtful as he interlaced his fingers behind his head. Leaning up and back, the chair's front legs were lifted as he took his gaze to the ceiling, gently rocking on his feet. "<span style="color: #FF4040">Well, my quirk is called Nova. It's a sort of energy manipulation, I guess. I'm told it works by the manifestation of energy, so basically I'm able to channel and combust--err, <span style="font-style: italic">manifest</span> energy. But.. whatever--forget all that,</span>" he waved a hand dismissively, "<span style="color: #FF4040">Basically I can steal energy and use it to create explosions and fires,</span>" he concluded simply, giving a gentle pause before continuing, "<span style="color: #FF4040">Whether I create a fire or an explosion depends on how much energy I put out and for how long. For example, an explosion is a powerful and sudden burst of energy, while a fire is slow-burning and constantly consuming,</span>" he explained, "<span style="color: #FF4040">The size and the intensity of the combustions also depend on how much energy is fed into them, so a small and intense flame consumes the same amount as a larger, weaker one, and the same goes for explosions.</span>"<br/><br/>Before he went on to explain further, there was a more lengthy, thoughtful pause as he stared at the ceiling, but when he spoke his tone was as relaxed as ever. "<span style="color: #FF4040">I can use my own energy, but the more I use, the weaker I get. So instead, with a touch, I can draw energy from anything with a life force and use it for myself. In a fight, I'll usually try to get close enough to steal my opponent's energy, but I can only draw it for as long as I'm in contact with them,</span>" he continued to explain, allowing himself a moment to recall anything he may be missing.<br/><br/>Then with a burst of realization, he rocked forward, the chair's front legs slamming the ground as he righted himself. "O<span style="color: #FF4040">h! I can also channel energy into almost any object, so if I have an excess I can store it to use later,</span>" he began to explain wildly, a hint of excitement visible in his emerald gaze, "<span style="color: #FF4040">The energy holds better depending on the material, so I have these-</span>" unclipping a small, rectangular bar from his belt, he held it between his index and thumb as he brought it up to display, "<span style="color: #FF4040">-to help me out of a rut. And since my quirk works by igniting energy, if I touch it, I can even light the energy inside of it,</span>" he demonstrated by igniting the thin bar, which burst into white flames, "<span style="color: #FF4040">and it'll keep burning until the energy is consumed. Of course, if I'm still touching it, I can stop the fire whenever I want,</span>" as he spoke this, the flames abruptly vanished, and he gripped the bar in his palm. "<span style="color: #FF4040">For obvious reasons, I've never tried igniting a person's energy, but I'm gonna assume it'd be very... traumatizing.</span>"
