Sneeze!! Sneeze!! Sneeze!!
Ahh, who the hell is thinking about me? 3 sneezes? Really? I don't have a cold because Iron Fist and the Ten Rings should not let me get a common cold… Wait, I need to test out how different my body is compared to a human... Sure, I did a lot of testing when I got the Iron Fist, but there were no real differences internally in my body. But ever since I got the Ten Rings, I just have not gotten the chance to see if my body has changed somehow, but from my chi detection, I am still just a normal human…
But every time my heart beats, it's like chi pulses all over my body, which is not normal for a normal human… Anyway, what was I doing? before?
Yeah, this was like my 20th stop and the last break before I reach the Ten Rings. Ahh, I have to take breaks every 30 minutes to make sure I don't time out the Omnitrix. Overall, it takes me about half a day to reach China as XLR8. I also get to hang out in places like the middle of the mountains; it's actually pretty cool seeing the world like this… It's so pretty. This world is so pretty…
What a shame that all of this might one day end… But I can change all of that… Again with those thoughts… Ugh, Abby's stupid hero speech has been stuck in my head for how many days now? I really should not let her affect my mind like that…
Hero… I never liked the heroes. No, they were just not the type of people I liked. Saving someone just because you have the power to? Sounds stupid to me if you asked old me… Power is mine. Why would I use something that is mine to help you?…
That's the answer I would have given if I was still my old self, but now, honestly, after staying here in this world for almost a year and getting these powers… becoming strong… I honestly don't know if I can still say that as my answer… If you can help someone, do it… It's not about being a hero; it's just about being a good person…
But then the question comes: Am I a good person? Do I view myself as a good person? No, I don't, so why should I help someone if I myself don't think I am a good person?
I was spacing out while eating some noodles in a small Chinese restaurant.
But just then a group of 4 people walked in the small restaurant and started to, well, harass the waiter… who was a young woman… The 4 people were young and seemed to be drunk by the way they were walking and talking….
They spoke in Mandarin. ("What is a pretty girl like you doing here?") Another one of the thugs says, "Go get some Baijiu for us!" ….
The waiter spoke ("Um, Baijiu, sorry, we ran out of it..."), and she stepped back, and the group of 4 thugs looked actually angry, and they started to scream at her…
"Ting"
I put my water glass down on the table hard… And I just keep eating my noodles like they do not exist… But now all of them were looking at me, and they walked towards me.
But just then one of them sits next to my seat and says fast, "Hey! Are you a foreigner? Do you have some money? Ha? Hey guys, this guy looks like a foreigner, and free money! ~ "
["Do you speak English or Chinese?"]
One of them spoke really bad broken English… And I still don't look at them; I just keep eating my noodles….
"Ugh, hey! Fucker, don't act like we are not here!" And one of them tries to slam his hand on the table, and I still don't move…
What should I do? If I beat them up, won't I do something good? Then my view of myself is wrong… Did I change or grow?…
Right now Leo actually did not even care what was going on around him, which is why everything felt so damp, because Leo was inside his brain thinking about whose side he was on. If he was not good, then he should just walk out of the restaurant, but… why did he think so much?
But just then there was a voice that woke Leo out of his deep thought….
"All of you, get out! of my restaurant! And stop harassing my customers! Or I am calling the police!"
The young waitress screamed…
("Oh, shut up, annoying bitch. Hey guys, I think this girl needs to learn some manners! ") One of them spoke and started to step to the waitress…
"Yeah, bro, first of all, you don't even have a good drink, and now you're screaming at us just because we were talking to that guy? Why do you even care, huh? You need to learn manners!"
And then the other 2 guys also started to walk closer to the waitress. There was only one guy who was sitting next to me. He was keeping his eyes on me, clearly trying to scare me…
("Ha, and you, pretty boy, you think you can keep acting like you don't see me? You are annoying as fuck, whi…")
Crash!
