"I saw another boy go in there. You can deal with the pervert while the hero deals with the villain.”
Aaron lay on the ground, too winded to say anything in response or give Eagle Boy the punch he deserved. Nobody talks down to Aaron like that. Jerkface didn’t even have the decency to check if the injured civilian (Aaron) had any major injuries. What if he died from head trauma, huh? Bet Bird Brains wouldn’t be so up himself after that. Obviously, this wannabe hero had never taken a first aid course. Whatever, at least he got the door off. Arrlo crawled out of Aaron’s hood, unharmed thankfully.
“I guess he was one of those other Miraculous guys you were talking about, huh?” Aaron coughed.
“It seems so,” Arrlo agreed, “but there’s also some sort of villain pilfering the library. That requires our immediate attention.”
Aaron sat up and groaned from the strain in his back. He was definitely going to find some bruises later.
“Right. Let’s show this Dodo Dude how a real hero works. Arrlo, plates ready!”
He transformed and headed to the library, where Bird Boy and Almaniac were engaged in mortal combat. Aaron in his new form took up a boxing stance, striking the projectiles with his gauntlets before they could hurt him. The other “hero” was jumping about the library like some sort of acrobat while trying to talk the villain out of her deluded frenzy. Hmph, showoff. The whole discussion thing could work though. But the chances of Almaniac listening to whatever emotional spiel he was going with was low. An appeal to logic would be the trick.
“Listen miss!” he called out, “You gotta stop this now, you’re going to end up destroying your precious library!”
