Matthew
Matthew jumped, and quite nearly jumped into battle, when he saw the mascot of Panda Express bust through the door and tackle Adam. If he saved Amanda's dad, he was SURE to get laid, right? He was about to turn his arm into his huge enforcer of a blade, but Amanda beat him to it, sending super heated metal flying at the Panda, who he had heard talk. The Panda overall was huge, fat, and muscular, like the namesake animal the meta human took after. He was almost as big as Henry, but with the panda's build the creature had to weigh more. He leaned back against the wall and let Amanda go to work. He would step in if he needed to, but he was sure that Amanda could handle it. He leaned back against the wall as Adam sent an air blast out, and let if go right over him. As Adam introduced this new person, all he could do was mouth out the word "Idiot..." to himself at the Panda. What he had done was a terrible idea, and he had attacks thrown at him because of it.
Henry
Henry's hummed in response to Theresa, chucking to himself at her acknowledgement of what he did. "Well thank you, I-" he began, only to be cut off as a creature as large as he was burst into the room, and roared. His instincts flared, and his fight or flight reaction went crazy. Every one of his muscles grew taught and for a hair of a second he was completely still, his body changing color to match the background, his active camouflage taking over and his body becoming nearly invisible. Victoria most likely looked like she was floating. He had completely forgotten she was there.
His huge claws displayed themselves, but no one could see them. His body was hidden. He didn't want to fight something as big as he was. No apex predator did. He was scared for a moment, before he got ahold of himself. 'What are you doing?' he internally yelled at himself. He shifted back to his visible state, and watched as a few people sent attacks at the Panda while Adam got away and sent a blast of air in all directions. He reached his arm around and squeezed Victoria to him. Not enough to where it would hurt her, as he knew his strength well, but enough to where his body would take all of the force of the air, and for her to be completely covered behind his back. His tail also snaked behind Dana's wheelchair to keep her from rolling away. The blast wasn't as powerful as he had expected, but he was glad he had done something to keep everyone safe. He nearly roared in challenge to the Panda bear, his muscles expanding ever so slightly already, only for Adam to elaborate on who this was.
An animal student, much like him. But seemingly less logic bound than he was and more emotionally stimulated. Neither were bad things, just differences. He had too much respect for Adam to do that, even after not seeing him for a while. And Adam probably didn't see him a friend. But he was currently unaware of the relationship the Panda had with Adam and still had.
He relaxed, his grip on Victoria slacking and his tail coiling back up. "Sorry about that," he said. "Everyone okay? If you're scared remember he's a soft and fluffy version of me." Henry wasn't wrong. Panda bears were strong yes, but they were herbivores and had layers of protective fat and fur to keep them warm. He was reptilian, hard, sharp, and not at all fluffy. His body was covered in shark like scales that made dragging your hand the wrong way against his body a sure fire way to tear up your skin. His muscles underneath the skin were hard, taught, and predatory. If you were into that. "He's just like Winny the Pooh. Likes giving hugs." He said, smiling to the group.
