"You are already pretty awesome" Connor said, "that I think it would be a step down to be like me" he said this easily, "I mean, all I can do is put on a metal suit and blast people. Besides my brain, my abilities with chrmistry, engineering could be considered normal amoung other geniuses. You can do so much, that I honstly don't know why you seem to want to help me rid myself of my ignorance of the real world, to hang lut with me"

Kijani giggled. "Connor, do you even realize what you're saying? 'Besides your brain'? 'Among other geniuses'? Your mind is the most powerful, wonderful part of you. You're selling yourself way too short. We have got to work on your confidence. You have all the cards, we just have to teach you how to play." She grinned at him. "As for why I'm helping you?" She stopped to think about it. "...well, when I figure it out, I'll let you know."
