( 'What is the fucking Cheesecake Factory?' is the inevitable question lingering on a certain parasite's lips, but it actually gets shelved in favour of other Interesting Tidbits when the young man says that he is a superhero, a fact that strikes both Shinichi and his alien hand into surprise.

Shinichi is, naturally, ogling the guy with apprehensive confusion and stun (sorry Rex, he definitely doesn't recognise anything called Guardian of the Globe), brows lifted up and posture still extremely defensive, like he expects the other to go off on him any moment. )

You.... really are one? ( Another quick wince, like he thinks that might offend Rex.... ) I mean— we just don't have things like that in my world. Not for real. They're just... just make-believe.

( Never mind that he has freshly started his own vigilante journey against killer parasites from space.

Of course, Migi is now studying Rex as though he's something extremely appealing. Weirdly, he does know about superheroes!! The topic has come up in his studies on humans — a fictional concept in Shinichi's world, but clearly not in all.

Shinichi's right arm lifts again, creeping a little closer. It's totally fine. )

To be considered a "superhero", one must have "superpowers", correct? I have read about the concept on Wikipedia.
