[His trip to Sternbild had been part of a contractual agreement between his company and the renowned HeroTV. On paper, it was to encourage relations between the two countries, as well as provide an interesting aspect to the television program. Just a little something different. Part of it was also competition, to see how well NEXT from other countries could stack up.
Because already, the duo of Wild Tiger and Barnaby Brooks Jr. had shaken up the scene– there'd never been a team of heroes before, not ones that worked together as partners in any case. Adding a new face on top of all that had been going on was sure to make things a little more exciting, which is all he cared about in any case. All the politicking was engaging, but nothing beat actually being out on the field and getting to work on a pseudo-team (as well as rack up all the points– he was number one in England for a reason). Still, he wasn't expecting much else out of this experience other than to be in Sternbild for a few months, look classy, level up points, and then go home.
To say that isn't what happened is a vast understatement.
Granted, he's still got three months left on his contract here, but he's already considering renewing on it. England was lovely, he missed his partner in crime (April) fiercely, however, there was something about this particular group of heroes that was way more interesting than he'd thought.
(Not to mention the sheer amount of trouble they seemed to get themselves into was astonishing.)
Moreover, he was having fun. Working alongside (and yet, against) Tiger, Bunny, Karina, Ivan... all of them had managed to get under his skin enough that he'd found himself completely attached without even meaning to be. Some had dug a little deeper than others (not that he'd openly admit this, at least not yet– he had a reputation to keep up). It hadn't all started this way, of course. The last couple months had been a little rough with the adjustment period and just the sheer amount of snarks being slung back and forth, particularly between him and Barnaby. But, once they'd reached some sort of camaraderie, the snipes became less dig-worthy and more of a friendly (and expected) banter.
Which is how it was now.
No literally, right now. They're all finishing off another episode, camera crews having cut to where Fire Emblem and Dragon kid were handling another portion of the crime. Kotetsu, Barnaby, and himself had been sent out together, to see how well the trio could hold up. The consensus? Fairly well, except for the sharp tongues.
Not really a downside in his book.]
Getting slower in your age, aren't you two? I'd expected to get to him last.
