Daekie This is Destiny City, full of weird happenings, strange people, and one of a kind monsters. You’re used to youma, probably, even if you don’t know what they are. Trick or Treating is getting more and more dangerous every year; are you making any precautions to keeping the neighborhood kids safe? Or are you banking on carelessness to get some extra energy?
They had worked so hard on his Springtrap suit! He better win at the costume party at his school...
Huffing, the Chibi senshi had wandered off from his Page brother, opting to cover more ground by doing so. Maybe if they decided things were clear early, he could get out of there before missing anything too fun? He was hoping so, but somehow he doubted it. A hero's duty was never done, and all that. He was supposed to be trying to be a better super hero but...
There was candy... and caramel apples... and marshmallows...
Ugh. Why did he have to be Chibi Senshi anyway? It was turning out to be more hassle than anything else, and he did not feel very special or awesome at all! Maybe all his favorite comic book super heroes knew something he did not yet, that made it better...

Anakeion - well, Amaris, but also Anakeion at the minute (this whole secret identity thing still tripped her up, and she knew anime! She knew anime! She was the VERY BEST at anime!) was trying to, stubbornly, protect herself against the cold by not wearing a jacket. If her enhanced abilities were any indication, the only reason her outfit wasn't super chafing right now was probably magic, but metal and the cold weren't a great combo -- so she was stubbornly nursing a pumpkin spice latte, a spiderweb-patterned shawl thrown over her shoulders, a small plastic bag full of candy on her lap where she sat on a park bench. (If anyone asked, she was a Sexy Gladiator. It wasn't the most flattering costume idea, but honestly, Amaris figured that as long as she wasn't Sexy Oscar the Grouch she was probably good.) Wait. There was a tiny baby Senshi over there in bright yellow "Oh my god," Anakeion cackled, her voice clearly audible, "you're adorable, do you want a Snickers or something? I'm sorry, but you are so cute."

Cygnus was kicking a stone down the road, looking just as grumpy as a scarecrow could, when he sensed another aura. He still could not QUITE distinguish all the different types and different power levels, though he was doing his best to study up on it. He had never been a very good student, though.
But at least it was not math, right?
He spotted the... other...powered...person... coming his way and stopped, hesitating at her approach and her burst of energy. His mom always told him to stay away from strangers, and definitely not to take candy from them, but those rules kind of went out the window on Halloween, did they not? And also he was a senshi, not a kid. He was a super hero.
"You have a candy bar on your? Where do you put it?" Besides the jacket, he was not sure their powered up costumes had a lot of pockets. Even the ones on his suit were not real or very big, and had no useful application that he had yet figured out. And he tried to sneak candy before.

"Plastic bag," Anakeion shrugged, twirling a shopping bag around one wrist that she produced a sandwich bag out of, shoving a Twizzler into her mouth. "I don't have pockets, I gotta make do, and nothing in Earth or Heaven or Hell or whatever is gonna stop me from eating a s**t ton of Snickers a few days before Halloween. Or Twizzlers. Or candy in general, t-b-h." She pronounced the letters independently, movements showy, putting on a one-woman show for an unappreciative tweenage boy audience. Ah, the plight of the struggling thespian. "I mean, I could store them other places? But you are a baby and I'm not gonna do that when babies are lookin'."

Cygnus immediately sucked in a big breath and puffed out his cheeks, looking very much like Kirby for a moment as his face turned red. Anger was rising in him, though and he puffed out the breath before firmly grumping.
"I am NOT a baby! YOU'RE a baby!!"
Good one. He was sure that would make her regret calling him one. Things like that worked on the playground, anyway, though these days it seemed to be losing its potency even there. Maybe they were all just growing up a bit too much. Except Cygnus, who was just as small as he ever was, as far as he could tell. It was torture.
"Did you go trick or treating while powered up?!" He could not believe it if she had, that would be cheating! "Aren't you on patrol?! I didn't know you could eat candy while you're on patrol!!" He'd been lied to, if that were the case. Well, not really, as no one had ever told him he couldn't. Just that he needed to patrol before he went trick or treating. Still, exaggerating was just one of his many faults.

"Precious," Anakeion teased, putting a gentle hand on his head and removing it almost immediately - only his mussed hair a sign she'd been there. "Nah, don't take me seriously, lil' dude. I say that to everyone. You turn 18, then we can talk about you being a baby and me not getting hit with a lawsuit." She swallowed what was left of the Twizzler whole, making a weird spooky slurping sound that was almost definitely exaggerated. "I bought this candy with my very real, very legally obtained money, from my adult job that I do because I'm an adult." Despite her s**t-eating grin, it was 100% real truthful things. "I can eat candy whenever I want -- 'cause I'm an adult, y'know?"

Cygnus huffed, though her pat to his head told him he needed to get his mohawk redone. It was losing its edge, and getting pretty long. He had not cut it for a while, but he really liked his white hair looking edgy and tough. It was kinda the only thing he had to rely on: looking tough.
If anyone got too close to him, they would immediately know he was not, in fact, very tough.
He sighed at her explanation, though, slouching a bit.
"Adults always get the best stuff... I have to patrol before I can go get any candy, and it will all be gone by the time I get there! It's not fair... uhm... would you mind if I uhm... had a piece of candy?"

"No problem, little guy." Anakeion's grin stayed s**t-eating as always, like she knew some sort of incredible secret nobody had remembered to let Cygnus in in, but that was really just her way. Unfortunate as it was for anyone else. "Whaddya want? The Twizzlers are all mine, ok, but I've got like seven types of generic Halloween candy in here. Kitkats? Snickers? Milky Ways? ...wait, those all taste basically the same. Uh. Bubblegum? Wait, no, that's totally mine too." She pondered, one hand to her chin. "How about a peanut butter cup? I have some of the super huge ones that nobody sells unless it's Halloween."

"I'll take anything!"
Cygnus' mood was immediately improved at the promise of candy. If it was poisoned or full of razor blades, he would just have to deal with it. It would be worth it, as he was a kid and he just needed candy in his life to make things okay. Even if they weren't actually all that bad.
He did know he had responsibilities, though.
"I'll have to get back to patrol, though... I don't want my brother to find out I'm goofing off. He's going to be mad..." Though, his brother was actually really good with him, and since finding out they were both powered, things were getting even better. It was like something to bond over, which he'd never really had with his older brother before. At least he felt that way, as closed off as he was before. Now they had something in common!

"You can hang with me if you want. I'll say I lured you into the sordid life of eating candy when you're powered up." Her smile shifted, softened, turned a little maternal. "Besides, it doesn't matter if you're a superhero, right? Kids shouldn't be out alone -- and don't tell me you're not a kid, until you're an adult you're a kid, I had this conversation like fifty times at your age." Anakeion winced in sympathy, recalling the fact it had never quite seemed to get through to her until she'd hit the age of maturity and then it'd made more sense. "Here -" she tossed him a sandwich bag - "this one's nothin' but mini Snickers, boyo. Get crackin'."

Cygnus looked delighted by the offer of candy, though he stopped himself from taking the whole bag. He took a couple of the snickers, then gave her back the bag, looking like she had just given him a million dollars and his life was perfect forever.
It was a wonder what candy could do.
"Well, I should probably go find my brother and get back to patrolling with him... but thank you for the candy! It makes not being out trick or treating better! You're one of the only adult people that don't... you know. Suck. So thanks!" He grinned broadly and then waved as he ran off, candy in hand.
Hopefully his brother didn't ask where he got it.

"Have a good one!" Anakeion called after Cygnus with a wave, giving him a thumbs up he probably wouldn't see but that she felt obligated to give. s**t, she felt like Santa. Sexy Blue Santa. That was a pretty good feeling, especially given it was only October. Ah, well -- it wasn't like she didn't carry snacks around most of the time. If she spotted the kid again, she'd gift him some more.
