Hotstreak could tell it bothered her. "...It's nothing against you... I just... got issues... I dunno if I'll ever be able to trust anyone completely..." he admitted, hoping it would make her feel at least a bit better.
"Heh, just think of the Justice League as a club for superheros," Gear replied, smiling. "C'mon, Backpack, back up ya go," he commanded.
Immediately the robot stopped looking Kirara over and climbed up on Gear's back, shifting back to its backpack-like state.

"Sort of like our group? Well...for the most part..." Kirara said as she chuckled to herself, watching Backpack become one on Gear's back in an instant. That would always amaze her.
"Oh, okay. So, tell me Hotstreak, what can I do to at least earn more of your trust. I don't mind not having all of it, but I'd at least like it if you trusted me enough to know that you can count on me when you need it..." Hitomi told him, smiling gently as she loosened her grip on herself.

"Yeah, actually, I guess it is..." Gear mused, putting a finger to his chin. "Only the Justice League doesn't have anybody who doesn't actually help people in it."
"I dunno... I guess just keep bein' straight with me," Hotstreak suggested. He wasn't, nor did he want to be, a psychiatrist, so he couldn't exactly say what would be best. The fact that it at least seemed like she cared about him helped a little, too, but he didn't want to admit that aloud just yet. "Just don't give me any reason to not trust you and I guess I'll have to, y'know?"

Kirara had to replay his answer over and over again in her mind until it finally made sense to her. "Oh, yeah, right." She said, realizing that he was referring to Hotsreak with that one. Or, at least, she though he was.
"Ah, okay. Good." Hitomi said with a nod, smiling lightly before she noticed the fire was beginning to spread, burning more of the forest than she really wanted it to. She sighed as she turned around, her pendant and eyes beginning to glow a bright violet before two spheres appeared around her hands. She then created a giant barrier around the trees into sections before she began to close her hand. And with that, the barriers began to shrink in size. After a moment, the fires burned themselves out. Because without the steady supply of oxygen, they couldn't live. Hitomi then sighed as she closed her eyes, the glow fading before she looked back at him, smirking gently. "I'll try really hard to not give you a reason, 'kay Hotstreak?" She told him with a giggle, tucking a strand of her brown hair behind on ear.
[[Like, with Hitomi's powers, I'm referring back to Gwen from Ben 10, like the way she projects it. But Hitomi's powers have more of a psychic quality to them, y'know? xd lol.]]

((I get ya. 3nodding ))
"Well, at least there seems like more good guys in this group than bad, right?" Gear asked, with a small shrug. "We'll be able to hold 'em back if any of 'em get too outta line..."
Hotstreak smiled a little himself. When was the last time anyone wanted to work so hard to get him to trust them? When was the last time someone seemed to truly care if his actions got himself killed? "'Kay," he replied, smiling a little himself. He then stood up and stretched. "So what else can you do with those powers of yours? You said you could see the future, right? An' find people?"

[[Goodie. ^^]]
"Hehe, right right. I don't think the group has any tolerance for people like that, as we clearly saw before..." Kirara said with a nod, smiling lightly. "Or at least you don't..."
"Well, I've already showed you my teleporting power and such. But well, the 'seeing-into-the-future' thingy's kind of...off sometimes. I can't just be all like, 'Hmm, so what am I going to do next Tuesday' or something, you know?" She said as she scratched her cheek quickly. "But if there's a given reason, the vision will just appear. Like, I was wondering about your past earlier and those visions of the 'Big Bang' appeared 'cause they had something to do with you. It's kind of like a 'cause and effect' sort of thing, if you think of it logically like that..."

"You don't, either, right?" Gear asked, giving Kirara a questioning look. She did get pretty ticked when Hotstreak threw the fireball over a few minutes ago...
"I think I get ya," Hotstreak replied, with a nod. "But, y'know, instead of just thinking about what my past might have been like and hoping for a random vision, you could have just asked me," he teased, before heading off back in the direction of the group. "If there's somethin' I don't wanna share, I won't be shy about saying so."

"Mostly on demon instinct.." Kirara said as she looked up to the sky, nodding slowly. "But if someone messes with my friends or companions, then I'll be sure to defend them by any means necessary..."
"H-Hey! Don't make it seem like I was trying to get visions of you, it just happened that way!" Hitomi exclaimed heatedly as she watched him head off with out her. "Hotstreak! Wait up!" She said as she ran over to his side, scoffing once she was there, playfully though. "Well, I'll be sure to keep that in mind then."

"Yeah, I know what you mean," Gear replied, with a nod. "Anybody being threatened can really bug me, but when it's someone I know... Well, I just gotta be careful not to go over the top." After a second or two, he started laughing. "Not like I need to tell that to a demon, though, huh?"
"Someone's a little touchy, eh?" Hotstreak teased, with a laugh. "Not like I got much room to be talkin', but still."

"You just.... shut up." Hitomi said as she rolled her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest. But she still could help but chuckle under her breath, smirking all the while. "I just don't like to be accused of stuff that I didn't do. That's all."
Kirara nodded to him before she, too, began to laugh lightly. "Yeah, I almost lost myself earlier. Hotstreak wouldn't know what hit him if my demon blood was fully released.." She said with a smile as, with a wave of her hand, she created a small fireball. But a light green color began to seep into it, changing the whole color of it to a light green. Kirara giggled lightly at this transformation.

"I'll remember that," Hotstreak replied, with a nod. "Ya think Gear and Kirara are still gonna be that ticked at me? Might be kinda funny if Gear gets so mad that he starts steamin' his visor up..."
"Green fire? That's pretty cool!" Gear exclaimed. "Usually only... Well, I'm sure you don't wanna hear me spout off on all the different kinds of plastics that burn green, since I'd be using words that don't mean anything to most people in my own world," he added, with a shrug. "But I thought you had normal, orange-red fire. What do you think made it change?"

"Chrono's astral power made it change." Kirara said simply before she remembered something. "Wait, you don't know about the powers of a kiss can have on this world huh?" She asked him as she began to mold her fire into that of a person, Gear actually. It was a smaller, burning version of himself. The detail was spot on, right down to the green coloring of his body suit.
"Good." Hitomi retorted before she blinked up at him, visioning the expression Hotstreak was describing. At this, she couldn't help but begin to laugh. "I don't think so. But oh yeah, that would just be priceless..."

"Nuh-uh. What does it do?" Gear asked, curious. "Hey, it's me! That's really cool..."
"Maybe I'll set fire to his pants sometime, see if that does the trick," Hotstreak replied, with a laugh. He seemed like he was just joking, but sometimes it was hard to tell with him.

"Thank you, I've been working on it for awhile now.." Kirara stated with a smile before it changed into two people. She brought her other hand to her right one, having the male walk across before she separated them. She then shifted them so that one looked like Hitomi and the other looked like Hotstreak. "Okay, so, the basics of a kiss on Quasar is that if a boy and a girl begin to have feelings for each other, they would kiss, right?" She brought the two hands together, allowing the small versions to kiss each other. "But on Quasar, a kiss isn't just a kiss. You see, once you kiss someone, your souls combine together to form one entity that you both share. A blinding light is given off and well, yeah. A rather interesting side effect of this is that your powers can combine together to form amazing combinations or the like. So when Chrono and I kissed, I gained his astral control, as he gained my fire..." She told Gear, the figurines in her hands acting out every word she said. But when their use was up, she just waved her hands and they disappeared. "So that's just the gist of it, yet still, does it make sense to you Gear?"
Hitomi laughed as she patted his arm with the back of her hand. "Wow, Hotstreak, you just have the greatest ideas." She told him with a grin, nodding the entire time. Her hand was then slowly removed from his upper arm before letting itself just drop down to her side, hanging there loosely. With the other, she brought back a few strands of her hair from her face and tucked them behind her ear.

Gear watched the little show, seeming almost transfixed. It was just so cool! "Yeah, I got it," he replied, once the explanation was over. "Although now I'm a little worried at what Hotstreak might do if he got some of Hitomi's psychic powers..."
"Hah, well, you're not the first to say that!" the metahuman replied, with a grin. "Of course, everyone else that's said it always did so sarcastically..." he added, with a small laugh. He wondered what was up with Hitomi slowly moving her arm away... It just seemed a little odd, and he couldn't quite peg why.
