[ Being held hostage... They should just let the guy get kidnapped and put Mouse in charge of the city instead ]
Shorter than me short? [ #important to know ]
Killing is a bad thing, but... [ it's a terrible, unforgiveable deed. also illegal. but sometimes necessary... right? ] Isn't that how you lost the other heroes in your group?
Yeah! Really short. [ Bending down to put their hand at knee level ] Super duper short! Oh, but I shouldn't talk about people like that, huh?
[ They don't seem very sorry about it. They do look down at the mention of the others. ] We did. It was really, really sad. They were trying to protect us all, and while we did win in the end, I don't know if it'll ever feel better.
Horse, Pig, Dragon, and Monkey. [ They catch the ball and hold it for a moment. ] It was about a month ago and it happened so fast. One moment we were getting our butts handed to us and then the next we gained the upper hand thanks to the others. I didn't even realize they were gone gone until after it was over.
[ As for the last question. They roll the ball in their hands before tossing it back. ]
I don't really know. They have been really, really, really quiet. They disappeared soon after the fight, so maybe they actually perished?
If you're not sure, then it's safest to believe they're still out there. How many were there? And what do they look like?
[ If they're still hiding out in society as that large a threat, they have to be taken care of as soon as possible, none of this waiting and seeing. Not if he's supposed to be a "superhero" and becomes a target, he'd want to get them out of the picture immediately ]
That would be such a funny image! I don't remember if they had a monocle... they did the whole boring speech that villains usually do and they had a whole bunch of ruffles.
[ Oh, he loves that, actually. Villain speeches are the best opportunity to swoop in and slice them in half while they're distracted ]
Aw well, that's too bad... So, tell me! What was their "superpower"? You guys have a plan in place to counter it by now, for when they attack again, right?
[ he winces a little, sorry to keep bringing up your dead teammates!! ]
Maybe you should bring it up with them. It's hard to get things done without a leader, especially with so many people to organize. And sometimes, somebody needs to step up and make the tough decisions, when everybody else can't come to an agreement.

[ The mayor he and Will couldn't corner and beat up? ]
Troublemakers wouldn't misbehave if it's understood they'll be destroyed if they cause too much harm to people.

He is kind of funny though! And very short. [ #important to know ]
Some of the others don't really like killing and I don't want to disappoint them.
[ Mouse would be down otherwise ]

Four people, right? How long ago was this? What happened? Is the one who did it still out there?
[ Should he not pry and bring up bad memories? maybe. But he wants to know.

I'll bring it up next time we have a meeting. Is there anything else you think would be a good idea to bring up?

[ SIX MONTHS he can't get over this ]
You have all of us now, too. So put everybody to work on something more important than playing tag.

We can do both. Play tag and working on important things.

There others tried really hard to figure things out, but didn't come up with much. I wonder if we weren't supposed to until you all came here.
