1. Oh. Look. Another Deviobot attack. Seriously, could anything really get any more boring as far as attacks were concerned. Deviobots were just so... normal.

Which is why, despite being a member of the Omegafriends, Dante was pretty much ignoring the whole thing. In fact, he was standing to the side, drinking a bottle of tomato juice (don't ask), and just generally watching the other heroes dealing with it. At least, until two of them come right over to him, equipped with blades that were very, very obviously aiming for his chest.

In the next second, Dante's behind the two Deviobots, his large sword grasped in one hand. The two Deviobots? Split in half and fell to the ground with rather loud exaggerated clangs.

And Dante's still drinking that juice, though at least he seems like he's actually going to head to join in the fight now.

4. "That's the obstacle course?" Dante asked, just taking a look at one of the 'higher difficulty' training courses. "Seriously? I know a couple of people whose pet cats could get through that thing without a scratch. I'm surprised you're able to do much in a real fight if this is one of your 'advanced' training tools."

He walks towards it, before shrugging and pulling the Rebellion off of his back. And stabbing it into the floor. No reason to leave it around where anyone could easily impale themselves on the pointy end, which he knows will happen if he just left it on a table or something.

"Alright. If I don't use my sword, my guns, or most of my powers, I bet this thing just might be able to serve as a pretty good warm-up. Why don't we see which one of us can handle this thing easier? Me using almost none of my abilities, or you using all of yours?"

"They're kids," Cloud replies with a shrug. His own over-sized sword was leaning against the wall, looking a little like a huge slab of metal someone with a sick sense of humor put a handle on. If he tried to stab it into the floor, no doubt the floor would split and he did not have the money to fix up that kind of damage. He had a pension, not a trust fund or access to money from another world.

"'All of mine'? You're serious, right?"

Cloud. Cloud. Cloud. What kind of ridiculously overpowered hero were you, actually caring about property damage. Civilians were one thing and off limits, but buildings? Buildings were totally okay for destruction.

"They might be kids, but at their age I could still get through something like this with my arms tied behind my back and my eyes closed." Sure, that was completely ignoring the fact that he could survive being impaled, set on fire, impaled, being flung from a skyscraper, being impaled, being completely frozen. And, oh, being impaled.

"But yes. I am completely serious. I have to make this fun for me somehow."

Someone has to be the responsible one around here! Either that, or he just so happens to be an old man in a young man's body. In either case, he just doesn't seem like he is that much fun to be around.

"I don't think that they possess unlimited healing like you do." Yup, he just has to point that out. He also just smirks a little.

"And how will it be fun for you?"

Nope. Not much fun to be around at all, Spikey. You should try to lighten up. Or at the very least get a sense of humor.

"Even if they don't, there's bound to be a few people in this place with healing powers. Just have them on the side if anything goes wrong and they'll be good with almost anything." Sure, the keyword in there was 'almost', but that wasn't that big of a detail.

Besides, if he wasn't mocking something that'd normally be easy for him to take care of, he wouldn't be him.

"Well, for starters, it'd make me actually have to, you know, try." Without his sword, gun, or the magical demon powers that weren't always active for him, he'd have to actually work to avoid getting through this. No more getting hit by a massive fist or something just so he can jump off a wall. Or whatever equivalent to that would happen here. "And second, I have someone else I'd be competing against. If it's not heavily lopsided, that makes it fun by default."

Funny. He was told that all the time too.

"I haven't seen any." At least, he hadn't found anyone that would heal him. Not that Cloud needed one of them, since he had all the markings of a super-soldier gone haywire and was really hard to damage. He really didn't want to know why - the idea of being already fused with alien DNA and some kind of magic water really wasn't conductive to him wondering what was else in that SOLDIER serum.

Cloud looked at the obstacle course and then looked at Dante. It looked standard which meant that he could probably go through at a decent pace. Like Dante, he thought it was a little too easy, but he could keep from showing off. "It might be fun against someone."

Good. He was starting to think he was going to have to do it alone while hobbling on one leg to make it a challenge. Though now that he thought about it, Dante couldn't really place whoever this guy actually was. Not that it was really saying much of anything, he was new to the Omegafriends here, after all.

"Glad to hear that you actually know what fun is," Dante said, lips curled into his trademarked smirk. "I was beginning to think you didn't know the meaning of the word. But before we start, name's Dante. What should I call you?" He paused. "I mean, 'Spikey' might describe how your hair looks, but somehow I don't think that's a name that you actually go by."

"It depends on what the fun is." Flying in a plane with a pilot that thinks that he's driving a kite? Not fun. Doing squats? Not fun. Running an obstacle course without using any special skills? Maybe.

What can Cloud say? He was a bit of a grump these past few years.

"Dante, huh?" Great, the dreaded name question. Cloud was use to his name being a bit, well, weird, but he still didn't like the first introductions. "Most people do call me Spikey... I'm Cloud."

Well, he figured that this guy was probably called Spikey a lot. But come on, how could he be annoying in the future and ignore what his actual name was if he didn't know it? It wouldn't be anywhere near as effective if he didn't actually know what he was supposed to call him.

"Cloud. Bit of a weird name," Dante said. "Of course, in this day and age, I'm not really one to talk either. My mom was a big fan of the Divine Comedy, at least as far as I can tell."

He paused for a moment, before shrugging. "Anyway. Enough talk for now. Let's get this started and show these kids how it's really done."

"I was this close to being name Dweezle," Cloud said, spreading his fingers out by half an inch. His parents were a little odd that thought themselves as born-again hippies, and outside of some of the odder lifestyle choices he lived with while he was a kid (the crystal therapy sessions came to mind), they weren't bad people. They just were different.

"What are you buying me when you lose?" After all, if they were going to make this a contest of any sort, maybe there should be some kind of reward at the end of it, right?

Dante actually didn't say anything for a moment. Because geeze. That potential name was so incredibly stupid that it actually left him speechless for a moment or so. "Okay. I'd say that you lucked out with getting named Cloud."

Though at least he could get behind the whole wager. It'd make things more fun, to start with. "How about dinner? I'd offer a couple of rounds of drinks, but apparently the whole 'superhero' thing involves actually being a good role model for kids. And, you know, not going to bars."

Probably would've been solvable if Dante actually did the whole superhero getup thing, but oh well. Too late to change his style now.
