Hawks grins right back. "There are worse ways to meet on these islands. At least we're not stuck in a car or, I dunno, pouring out all our secrets on a beach." He'll take shopper zombies and awkward vent crawls over telling his life story to Anders right out of the gate, thanks!

"I'm learning that other heroes kinda get the shaft, yeah. My world has some problems, but at least we do get societal recognition and whatever. There are things we're working to fix. Not everyone trusts us." That's an understatement and he's well aware of it. He's a good representation of how fucked their system is, really, having been raised in it, having his family name taken away (not that he cares, since he's not attached to his dad's name anyway), having to be a spy, having to keep secrets, which he hates doing…but he doesn't talk about it.

"But we do get paid and I run my own agency and all of that. I think the pros and cons balance out for me. What do you back home?"
