You are John James Green, mutant vagrant.

You live in the subway now.

With Laura’s help, you make your way back through the criss-crossing net of tunnels to the station under the scar. The fire is burning low now, but that doesn’t make it any less agitating, and you make sure to give it a wide berth. Kinda funny, really – you’re probably the only one here more afraid of the light than the dark.

Sitting down, you explain Laura’s plan. Responses are mixed.

Kevin is surprised that you’d even consider it possible. The idea of you actually killing someone seems to not align with his personal idea of the world and how it works. Gaby is quietly horrified, while Noriko just listens intently, offering no objections and no support, only a silent acknowledgement. Lucas, the newcomer, seems eager to shut down whoever put him in one of those metal boxes.

Layla doesn’t speak for a while. When she does, you can’t help but notice that she’s eying Laura a little suspiciously.

“Is this really what you’re gonna do?”

“At the very least, we have to make coming after us too costly for Creeper.”

You make sure to leave the whole ‘murder in cold blood’ thing up in the air, as an intangible, looming maybe. Creeper probably deserves to die, but wilfully killing a guy, no matter how shit-eating despicable, doesn’t sit well with you. Which you should probably be thankful for, really. You’ve known hobos that’d gladly stab a man to death over the most trivial of scraps. You’re still, in some small way, intact.

“I still think we should just fuck him up.” Says Lucas, his fists balled at his sides. “We’ve all got superpowers, right?”

“And half of us can barely use them.” Interjects Noriko. Funnily enough, her tone doesn’t suggest disagreement.

“Also, some of us don’t have any.” Layla adds, a little sheepishly.

You nod.

“They’re right. This is… complicated.” To say the least. “Creeper has resources. We can’t just roll up to him and punch him out. If we could, somebody would’ve done that years ago.”

“So, then…” Kevin tentatively edges his toes into the conversation, looking vaguely guilty already. “…how would we do this?”

we don't know Pete is Spider-man in universe. as far we know, he's teenage mugga living the good life. Why ruin it for it him?

(I can't think of a way to involve Spider-man without meta gaming)

I say our 1st move should be to expose Creeper. Break his fictional boogeyman rep/status thing he has going on and inform Mr. Urich who is running the Jack trade on behalf of Wilson Fisk.

The thing is, do we any reason for Mr. Urich to believe us other than our word?

we can go one step easier, and just tell the citizens of new york about the mutie creeper, they would surely kill him for us.
>>
>>29462895
which one?
>>29462890
We know his girl is a mutie and he works at a news paper so maybe we could use him to expose the creeper.
>>
>>29462890
Well, that's not to say we grab Peter to help us. I Was actually thinking we do something to get Spiderman to notice us. Or, since in character, Peter should know something about Spiderman, we ask him what the best way to get Webhead's attention.
>>
>>29462922
>which one?
What do you mean "which one" the little girl with no powers to speak of. Tell her to go home or to a homeless shelter. Anywhere better then with us.
>>
>>29462937
She is destined to get broken powers.
>>
>>29462937
we also picked up a little 9 year old mutie who was going to drown on the ship too.

mugga please, Kang blew up her first home, we blew up her 2nd home

So is this quest going to be like PPQ with a loli who has God powers? Am I going to have to stop following this one as well?

nah, crusty said he would tone down on her powers a bit.

I think she is a younger version of another character in the marvel universe though

have you ever considered that having a normal person on our side could be quite useful, seeing as pretty much everyone is anti-mutant in this world ?

So its pretty much agreed of what the creeper was doing right.

1.Smuggling muggas to somewhere else
2.Sending them to the brother hood for re-education
3.A little investment from the kingpin

>[X] HELP! I NEED SOMEBODY! HELP! NOT JUST ANYBODY…

“Well, for starters, we find help. We can’t do this on our own.”

“Who exactly would be willing to help you?” Asks Layla, an eyebrow raised. “Um, no offense.”

“None taken.” Yeah you’re a smelly hobo you know it.

But, oddly enough, you can think of a few possible helping hands. You know that Tombstone had a beef with the Creeper Clan back in the day, and he’s under the employ of one Silvio Manfredi… who you kinda technically work for, too. You’re quite certain that Silvermane and his boys would love a nice big power vacuum to take up residence in. Then there’s those guys from the thrift store, the Hellions or whatever. They seem like total tools, but tools are better than Creepers.

And, you guess, there’s Peter. He could maybe do something at the Bugle? Some newspaper thing?

“…I have a few ideas.” You state, holding on out on naming any names till you’re certain there’s some merit in them. “For now, though, I’m getting some sleep. We can get started in the morning.”

As much as you’d rather get started now, you’re tired and bruised and your mouth tastes like smoke. You need rest.

You curl up on one of the mattresses they dragged down into the station and try to get to sleep. Eventually, you feel cold hands surrounding you, and you know that it will be morning soon…
>>
>(2/2)

…They drag you, kicking and screaming, into the light. Except there’s very little light here.

You open your eyes, vision quickly adjusting to the dimness of the station. Fire’s out, just a pile of ashes and rags now, a black stain standing out against the half-dark of the air. The others are huddled nearby, vague shapes plastered against the gloom. Something moves in the corner of your eye, amidst the wreckage of the train, and your eyes pick up the neon blue of Noriko’s hair. You guess she’s up, for whatever reason.

You pull yourself up and check the time.

>Present Time: 9:34 AM
>Current Funds: $165.05
>Hunger Level: 4

Well, no reason to rush, you guess. Not like you’re going to work today.

Though, you have other matters to attend to. There’s the Creeper matter, and then there’s that creepy grey kid who won’t talk, who should really be somewhere else. You’ve been meaning on getting Lucas’ take on what was really going on at the docks, too.

You shuffle around, generally getting your bearings and notice that there are two missed calls and a text on your phone. All from Peter. Huh.

Well, well, well. Aren’t you suddenly popular.

You pull up the text.

“You alright you were at the ship last night right? At the Bugle right now, theres a story running, your description’s all over it. What happened?”

It’s dated to just over an hour and a half ago.

Shit. How they hell did anyone get a good look at you? You were invisible half the time, and Creeper’s secret slave boat wasn’t exactly open to the public.

Okay, okay, think. This isn’t too bad, is it? Last time this happened, the Bugle was far from unkind to you. And as long as the description they have of you is only general, then who cares? You’re Mr. Invisible.

Noting that there’s little left in the way of supplies, you head out into the scar, dialling Peter’s number. You shiver as the winter cold rises to meet you, and listen to the phone ring for a good thirty seconds before you hear Peter’s voice on the other end.

“Hey, uh, hey, John?” He’s practically whispering.

“Yeah, it’s me. Why’re you whispering?”

“I was kinda in class.” Whoops. “Don’t worry, I told my teacher it was a family emergency. Have you seen the Bugle yet?”

“No.”

“It was you, though, right? At the ship?”

“…Yeah.”

There’s a short pause.

“Oh, uh… wow. You okay?”

“I’m fine. For now. Look, I need to know a few things about the story…”

Well, what do you want to know? You want to know just about everything, really.

“What does the story say? Is there a detailed description?”

“Right now, they story is that you”– You recognize the sound of air rushing by on the other end of the line, and Peter interrupts himself with a short grunt –“or, this guy that is you, busted some kind of trafficking deal. There’s no word on who was responsible, how the ship got totalled, all that stuff. I guess the description of you… well…”

You don’t like that pause.

“…It’s not great, but one of the witnesses – one of the, uh, captives – said you were flickering, like in and out of sight. So I guess it’d public knowledge that you can do the invisibility thing. Oh, and, um, the story notes that your description matches the one from Sacred Tree fire.”

He sounds a little out of breath. Is he running? What’re you doing over there, Peter?

“Are they calling me a supervillain yet?”

“What!? Heck no.” Another grunt and a heavy thud. “Jameson loves you. He’s got the whole story focused on how there’s some Good Samaritan mutant out there, running around without a mask, helping people. I can’t say the same about other papers, though…”

Huh. Okay then, that’s not all bad.

“Oh, something else. Right before I left, these people showed up looking for any information on you. I don’t think the Bugle had anything they didn’t put in print, but they had badges or something. Vanessa had to let them into see Jameson.”

That’s less promising.

You contemplate the subject of badges as you trek by the remains of a burnt-out school. What could badges mean? Could be Mutant Control, but considering that Peter’s a mutie himself, you doubt he wouldn’t have recognized them. And said ‘people’, not ‘cops’, so we’re not talking Officers McAverage Police Guy here. Creeper’s boys, then? FBI? CIA? NSA? SHIELD?

God, there are way too many scary acronym people in the world.

“Did you get a look at them?”

“A bit, yeah. It was a guy and a girl. The guy was blonde, kinda thin, had glasses. The girl was pretty tall, tanned, and…” He pauses. “…kind of thick, I guess? She had muscles under her suit. Oh, yeah, they were in suits, both of them.”

…Do you know anyone like that?

“Anyone get caught? What’s going on with all the mutants?”

“Police won’t say.” Says Peter, a little bitterly. “I don’t think they know where even half the mutants are, though. Other papers are focusing on that, how it’s gonna increase crime and stuff. Apparently most of them weren’t from here. What’s going on, John? What is all this?”

All QM decisions are final, and i doubt he would change one just because a few of us find the idea of a hobo with a photography hobby stupid.
From what we can tell we come from a middle class house hold where we grew up learning piano and shit, but somehow a young child between the ages of 8-11 would try to learn photography a hobby about patience, plus now that we are a hobo such an expensive hobby would do us no good.

Warn him about Kimura and mention that blondie is probably a sensory type mutant or enhanced human. Also let him know Kimi's mildly insane, a massive sadist and essentially invulnerable.

Let him know they work for an organization known for kidnapping, brainwashing and exploiting mutants. Serious bad news.

Well, what did happen?

You grimace to yourself.

“I did the right thing at exactly the wrong time.” Again. You had your way out and you shat all over it. “Look… I don’t know everything, but I know I’m in trouble with a really, really awful guy.”

Peter attempts to chime in, but you cut him off.

“I have to go now, but I have an idea I’d like to fly by you. Alright?”

The line is quiet for a moment. Then: “…Yeah?”

“I want to talk to the Bugle. To the guy who was following up on Kingpin’s Jack connection. Somewhere safe, if possible.” You take a deep breath. “You can tell him it’s an exclusive interview with the guy from the ship, and from Sacred Tree. That I know for a fact that Kingpin has his cronies hustling Jack across the city, and that I worked for one of them for almost a year. Does that sound like something the Bugle would be interested in?”

“…Yes. It definitely does.”

“Good. Anyway, I’ve really gotta go… Oh, and watch out for those guys the Bugle. I think I know who they are, and one of them is extremely dangerous.”

You lick your lips. That was a lot to get out in the open.

“That’s fine, I’ll… call you, I guess.” He sounds a little stunned. Well, he should. “Oh, and, um, John?”

“Yeah?”

“It may not have been the right time, at least you did the right thing.”

“…Thanks.”

You hang up and head on out of the scar, onto one of the sidestreets nearby. A 7/11 catches your eye, and you make your way toward it, silently counting the number of mouths you have to feed.

You stop.

The Bugle job is shot. You’ve no idea if the Tabbycat thing will come through. And now this thing with Creeper. Can you afford to spend money? Would it be wrong to just go in and take what you need?

Don't steal from a seven eleven.

Well, you’ve still got some money. For now, you can afford to pay for your shit like a real person. If it doesn’t last, it doesn’t last, and you find new ways to keep the wheels turning. Until then, you’re JJ Green, upstanding citizens who is not that mutie from the exploding ship story, and is in no way associated with that mutie from the exploding ship story.

You head on in and load up on supplies, bagging a bunch of tinned foodstuffs and random snacks – anything you can boil or eat raw, basically. You check your items out, making sure your shades are secure and your face is never quite in full frontal profile, and get out of the store.

You check the time.

>Present Time: 10:12 AM

The sky is grey and lifeless up above, clouds bunching like together, like huddled pilgrims grasping for warmth. Snow again. Soon.

You head home, trekking back over the grey desolation of the scar.

It takes you a little over half an hour to get back, and you descend into the (barely) subterranean depths of the station to find the gang scattered about the platform. Layla and Laura seem to be watching the little kid… who, as far as you can tell, doesn’t do much other than stare. Noriko sits by the remains of the fire, her fingers knotted through Lucas’, who looks wholly uncomfortable and a little sheepish.

You don’t see Kevin and Gaby anywhere, but you can smell them nearby.

You dump the supplies by stairs, where it’s a little cooler, and grab a packet of chicken. Seems about the right time for lunch.

You put the stove on, and call Layla over to handle the matches. She appears to find it absolutely hilarious that you a tough ghost hunting mutant vagrant like yourself can’t get close enough to fire to strike a match, so scrabbles over pretty quick. As she’s setting the fire around the top of the stove, you clear your throat.

“So… has the kids said anything?”

“Nope.” She shakes her head sadly. “I dunno what’s up with him. He won’t say anything. I’m not sure if he can’t talk, or if he’s scared, or anything.” She furrows her brow and leans a little closer to you. “We are sure he’s a he, right? It’s kinda hard to tell…”

You shrug. You’re not finding out anytime soon.

“Just… just make sure he doesn’t hurt himself or something.” You conclude, not entirely sure of the protocol here. “I’ll figure something out.”

Maybe the Bugle can help. They have investigators and stuff, right? You’re leery of handing a mutant kid over to social services or the police – they don’t really have such a grand track record with this stuff.

You turn your attention to Lucas.

“Hey.” He ignores you. You raise your voice. “Hey!”

He blinks, and turns his head toward you. And, immediately, he hisses in pain and snaps his hand back.

“Ow, ow , ow…”

“Sorry.” Noriko grins a little. “Should’ve told me you were gonna switch off.”

“I didn’t mean to…” You guess he can absorb Noriko’s charge, then. That’s useful. He sucks on the tip of his finger momentarily, glancing over at you. “Uh, what’s up?”

“I was just wondering about the ship…” You begin, trailing off a little as his features harden. This kid is all armour. Reminds you a little of another brusque young teenager that shall remain unnamed. “What was going on there? What was Creeper doing?”

He looks down, a little apologetic.

“I don’t know, man. All I know is these guys grabbed me in the street, and then next thing I know, I’m in one of them boxes, all cramped in with all these other guys. Sometimes you could tell we were on a ship, other times it’d stop and we’d get some new arrivals.” His face contorts in disgust. “It must’ve been days, man. Some of us just up and died in there. I spent like nine hours hustled up against some guy’s corpse.”

Jesus…

“I’m sorry. That’s…”

“Don’t be.” He cuts you off. “If you hadn’t stopped by, I’d still be in there.”

You let that sink in.

…What the hell were you doing, Creeper?

Not sure how I feel about this idea...

On one hand, JJ's done some pretty bad stuff.

On the other hand, their members have done plenty of bad stuff in the past too.

Plus, wouldn't this like, point a big target on JJ's back for, y'know, those people hunting after Laura? And Creeper? And even the Kingpin depending on how he's taking all this.

>(3/3)

Finally, there’s the bad news.

You glance over at Laura. As if sensing your gaze, she looks up from watching the kid. Her face is static, but you’ve gotten pretty good at disentangling some meaning from those big green eyes of hers. She’s waiting for you to tell her. She knows you have something. She can smell it, maybe.

“Hey…” You begin. This is kind of hard to explain. “Um… I think, maybe, one of your…”

You can’t say ‘handlers’. That’s what she calls them, but it doesn’t sound right. It’s creepy and weird.

“…Someone from your facility may have turned up at the Bugle.” It flickers through her eyes. You barely see it, but it’s there. Something like fear. “Probably looking for me.”

She’s quiet. You can hear heart beating oddly, though.

“Or maybe not, you know… it could have just been”–

“Was it Kimura?” She asks, quietly.

You pause, trying to skirt around the question. But, no, there’s no dodging aside or slithering around what you heard from Peter.

“…It sounded like her.”

She leans back a little, as if trying to distribute the weight of it evenly across her. Her eyes focus distinctly inward, at something only she can see, some memory or thought. You remember how quickly she lost her composure the last time Kimura turned up – till now, that had been a shadow at the back of your memory, hidden behind the taciturn, precise girl you’ve gotten to know over the past weeks. But yeah, there was that, wasn’t there?

Laura Kinney, human after all.

No. Well, it depends. When the Avengers are just another S.H.I.E.L.D. Team then yes, there's pay (usually deferred or held by a third party). When Stark's running things independently then he covers everything expense wise, but there's no paycheck in it.

Hold her hand.

In all seriousness though

>>29467083

I second this.
>>
>>29466742
I think I'll add the latter of those to the wheel.

That said, I'm putting together a bunch of familiar and not-so-familiar possible powersets for her. I'm trying to avoid anything as generic as, say, pyrokinesis or whatever, but there's a varying level of wackiness.
>>
>>29467085
This works, too.

That one is damn hard.

>"Well, i guess with me attracting that much attention it was inevitable that you were seen too. Sorry. But they don't know where we are yet. Sure, the timing is horrible, but we are still one step ahead of them. And i'll help you as best as i can."

You were just mimicking your background back then. You can selectively get bits of yourself to turn invisible, but you can't control what colour you turn.

>>
>>29467036
>>29467083
No hugging, I doubt she would appreciate that.

>>29466987
Apologize for drawing their attention (again). Suggest to maybe use the current mess you are in anyway to get them of your tail for good
>>
>>29467259

Hm... So like Othala from Worm? I could dig that. Can temporarily bestow one out of a library of powers through laying on hands. Starts out with minor stuff (lesser healing factors, peak human strength, ZZAP hands), with more X-points and experience (maybe through observing or experiencing other mutants powers?) she gets stuff like superintelligence, invulnerability, hulk tier superstrength, and she can affect more people at the same time.
>>
>>29467302

Alright, changing mine to this. Except make the hug a hand on her shoulder or something like that.
>>
>>29466987
"I still owe you a buttload of favours, you know."
>>
>>29467407
It's why we wanted her to teach us, if our fight is her's then her fight is our's
>>
>>29467239
Yea, that too
>>
>>29467342
True. Turn the suggested hug into hand holding. We already know she likes that.
>>
Hugging is a bit too much I think?
>>
>>29467286
I think that probably requires training or an explorative mutation.
>>
>>29467486
Yeah that works.
>>
>>29467286
Pretty sure that would be some sort of visual projection ability, so new power not an upgrade.
>>
I don't recall if this was ever discussed previously but is drowning an option for killing Kimura?

I do remember it being said that she is somewhat resistant to electricity for whatever reason so I was wondering if simply suffocating her might be more efficient, we are stronger than her after all.

Before anyone freaks out at me I'm just curious as to if this would actually work, not really advocating that we go off and try it anytime soon.
>>
“I’m sorry…”

You pause, watching her. There’s a lot of stuff in your head, and getting it all in line is a little tricky.

“All… I’ve they’ve got is that there’s an invisible guy in New York. They don’t even know what I look like.” You sidle a little closer. She’s staring at her hands now, but not really at her hands – her eyes are still drenched in memory. Her fingers are shaking. It’s almost nothing, nothing anyone else would notice, but you see it. You just about see it. “They’re probably checking every newspaper in New York, and none of them know anything much. They don’t know you’re still here, they’re just shooting in the dark. We just have to be careful.”

You feel like you’re adding plasters to a split stomach. They go on and the blood just soaks through them. The bucket tosses the water out, but the ocean’s still there.

“We’ll get through this.” You hold your breath. Your fingers edge their way over hers. She starts, as if suddenly returning to the living, and pulls away minutely, staring silently at you. “We will. Don’t worry.”

She’s still. She lets your hand envelope hers. Her fingers are small, you forget how small.

I think her skin dissipates kinetic strenght or something. Not sure if we could choke her to death with enough strength.

Though, maybe, locking her in a metal container and throwing the container to the ocean could do the trick.

I was just wondering how indestructible Kimura really is. Can she withstand environmental factors? Does her body react the same way to stimulus, or does it just not react at all? We're going to have to get creative if we want to slow her down, let alone stop her.
>>
>>29467785
NO!

I'm so sick of thirsty people needing to get their release through CYOA's.

>>
>>29467856
She can't feel properly. She has a sense of touch but it's different. Not necessarily worse, but weird.

She can withstand at the very least the heat of a powerful gas explosion. Whether cold can kill her is a mystery.

http://marvel.wikia.com/Kimura_(Earth-616)#Powers_and_AbilitiesEdit
Powers
Kimura's body was designed specially to rival X-23 in an experimental process to achieve regeneration. The outcome being a small sub-conscious control of her own molecule structure.

Molecule Manipulation: Kimura possesses a limited ability to phase (pass) herself through the spaces between object's molecules both subsequently ending unharmed and undamaged, if she so chooses. The extent of this was once able to reach inside someone and pull their brains out but an apparent weakness towards adamantium is shown as-well an inability to phase all portions of her body at once needing her to move around walls or open doors as a human.
Density Invulnerability: Using a minor form of density control she compacts her molecules increasing Mass (weight) while keeping intact her Volume (size by length, width, and dept) this in effect increases her Density (damage durability) making her virtually indestructible and impervious to even adamantium weapons, her insides, however, are not as indestructible. Still keeping a compact construct of her nerves she can feel the impact but no pain and is not damaged by explosion, fire or high falls.
Strength level
Unknown, though she is seen in X-23 Target X #5 to have the ability to kill a person by simply driving her fingers into their body, without damaging herself physically.
Weaknesses
Her insides are not as indestructible as her skin, if they can reach her internal organs for example, she can be damaged. Point-blank grenade and high falls have stunned her.
She can be effected by any telepathic attack.
An apparent weakness towards Adamantium leaving her unable to pass her molecules through it, and if thrown or used with enough velocity and strength can pierce her hardest skin.
An inability to phase all portions of her body at once, needing her to move around walls or open doors as a human.
>>29467879
It has something to do with her powers.
>>
>>29467905
Hmm. That gives us some things to work with. I wonder just how properly grounded she is...

So I remembered that a lot of the time Laura stared at our mouth when we talked. I googled that "staring at mouths while talking" and Autism research showed up.

Is Laura autistic?
>>
>>29467952

A shame, looks like I caught the tail end of my first foray into this stuff. It was still pretty fun though.

I'm dreading when I first roll a die. I have awful luck.
>>
Oh. By the way, I didn't respond during the thread, but I recall that a great many people were dissatisfied with the photography thing.

How many of you guys REALLY want to change this? Seeing as it hasn't had much impact, I could possibly retcon it a bit. Photography could be something you were always kinda interested in but couldn't do much of.
>>
>>29468000

Pretty sure she isn't. She's just...pretty socially awkward is all. Maybe she thinks staring into your eyes would be too intimate?
>>
>>29468000
She's just sheltered and used to the Operator life.
>>
>>29468000
If a Autism "expert" looks at anyone for a long enough time they say theyre autistic
so sure
>>
>>29468039
I would like to change it to something more fitting.
>>
>>29468039
Changing it sounds good to me.
>>29468000
Not autistic since her healing abilities would fix it, but she is socially retarded.
>>
>>29467827
>Laura breaks our hand
>A BOMB
>Deadpool steals the show
>spiderman has aids, gotta go to the hospital
>Kevin and Gabby did WHAT?!
>Suddenly realize Creeper is holding our other hand

The possibilities for interruption are endless.
>>
>>29468039
It doesn't matter to me either way, it's just a bit metagamey for such a young kid to have such a hobby.
>>
>>29468000
I figured it had something to do with telling if some one was lying or telling the truth.
>>29468039
The decision was solely based on meta gaming, so yeah change it.
>>
>>29467953
It kind of seems like she'd be a much better assassin/soldier than X-23.
>>
>>29467953
Oh, this is beautiful. Just beautiful. We may have a way to actually stop her.
>>
>>29468071
>Suddenly realize Creeper is holding our other hand
How hard do I have to believe for this to happen?
>>
>>29468039
If you can come up with a good reason why he would have picked up photography so young, I don't mind it.

Because it's kind of an unusual thing for a young kid to learn, so there must be some sort of story to it.
>>
>>29468039
I'm fine with it. I mean, I think being an invisible photographer might be fairly useful down the road.

But I'm not wedded to the idea or anything.
>>
>>29468039
Sounds good for me. I mean, just the interest part, no need to get another hobby instead of that.

I think JJ could be interested in photography - it's aesthetics, history and social meaning - but never used a professional camera or developed shots himself.
>>
>>29468000
Well, autistics tend to do that because of their low level of social adaptation. It's really more a result of not being used to other people, which is something autism often results in.

If you think about it, Laura has been kind of forced to live an 'autistic' life. She's been granted minimal contact with people, had all her efforts forcibly focused to the point of perfection on certain subjects, etc etc. It's not surprising that she'd have traits in common with an autistic person.
>>
>>29468039
just leave it as is
>>
>>29468039
Yeah I'd prefer to change it.

Either to just drawing/painting or the previously established options of gambling/astronomy.

Her main weakness is our claws/fangs level 3 or 4.

Huh. So Kimura is a based Phasebro (or Sis?). Interesting, that will probably be pretty dangerous to face, i don't want her pulling our heart out. I recommend getting the next Taserhands level ASAP.
>>
>>29468220
We're no hulk though, we can probably stun her our hits thanks to our super strenght, but probably not kill her.
>>
>>29468262
that won't work her durability is too ridiculous we either find a way to get a bomb inside her or get claws/fangs to level 3/4.
>>
Hmm. Okay. There's a majority in the "yes change it/whatever" range, so I guess we're changing it. JJ will still think it's cool, but not know much about it.

We shall vote. You guys remember the rules of voting, right? ONLY THE NUMBER NO GREENTEXT IF I SEE A QUOTE I'LL FIND YOU.

Don't change it, retcons always start a shitstorm, no matter how small.

Better yet, never mention it again and have JJ pick up another hobby that relates to him personally.

Like maybe he picks up a few genetics books from a local dumpster (science books, especially university specific ones, tend to not be resell-able, with new editions every year).
