“That’s very kind of you, but I really don’t live that far from here.” Serpentine said between her teeth. Now that they were just walking and not fighting a supervillain she was starting to feel a little self-conscious in her suit. They were drawing some attention from other pedestrians, a few of which commented on how, “It ain’t Halloween yet y’all.” Luckily they were few and far between and Serpentine only had to grin sheepishly at a few people as they passed.
	
	Talon didn’t seemed concerned with her slight objections, and began fumbling for something to talk about. What put Serpentine to pause was his suggestion that they should show each other their secret identities. “My Kwami said I should never tell anyone my secret identity…” Serpentine didn’t really sound convinced at her own words. She was surprised that Talon would bring this up now, she’d been thinking about it herself only moments before after all. How harmful could it be to tell him? She couldn’t deny that she was painfully curious to know who the boy behind the mask was. And Furitta’s too for that matter. Still, she’d only had a secret identity for little more than thirty minutes, and it seemed a bit too fast to be giving up that secret so soon.

	Just then Talon’s weapon began signaling an incoming call, and Serpentine raised an eyebrow at the convenience of the tool. Her own battle fans must have that feature as well, and sure enough moments later her left fan began beeping, but she ignored it for the moment looking around Talon’s shoulder to talk to Furitta. “I’m here too Furitta? What’s the issue, did another bad guy spring up already?”
