[He probably shouldn't have said that, but his response at least...sort of confirms one thing.]
It's exactly what you think.
[Is it too late to go back to them talking about eating contests and doctors?]
I've had a lot of enemies, we figure out some loopholes. That's all it is.
[Scant on the deets despite bringing it up himself. A longer explanation might provide more mitigation, but he doesn't like talking about work at length, even if that's all he knows.]
[ Look, he opened this can of worms and now he has to either own up to it or... Well, there's no chance of him owning up to it. ]
And just who do you consider your "enemies" if you do not mind me asking?
[ At least Genos' views of justice are rather black and white?? If you do a bad thing you're a bad person and deserve to be brought to justice. None of that moral gray stuff with him, at the very least. ]
[Maybe Genos is actually part of some underground Patriot's movement? Nothing around him's been familiar in the slightest; not on a completely alien level, but everything he was in the middle of doing is an absolute nonfactor all of a sudden, in Cerealia's context...]
But justice has a different meaning for everyone. Who are you working for?
[ Justice, huh? Well that doesn't immediately appease Genos but he isn't thinking about attacking anymore, which is a plus. Especially when he has the mind to qualify the fact that it can have a pretty ambiguous meaning. ]
I don't work for anyone. [ Technically he does get a pension from the Hero Association but it's not really work, is it? Work is something where you have defined salaries and all of that. He just got compensated for whenever he'd save humanity or the common folk for when things went terribly wrong. ]
I'm a hero where I'm from and I make it my mission to stop those who would harm others.
[Which may sound sarcastic, but he's totally being serious. It's not worth questioning whether or not he's familiar with Desperado, not based on everything he's just said at least. He's not at all suspicious of him (anymore), but interested.
A good chunk of it still has to do with him being what he is -- visually.]
Where'd you come from? Seems like you're not a stranger to [....] people who can't get along with each other.
[ Genos will take Raiden's words for stock and he won't think anything of the potential/would be sarcasm. ]
Z-City. [ Because this canon didn't give me actual names of countries or anything else remotely useful. ] From what I've gathered, it is like Earth if you're familiar with that. It's not uncommon to encounter others like myself or even like those who are here.
Yes, like the monsters but even some of the other inhabitants. People with strange abilities were not all that uncommon.
[ In fact, that was what made up most of the Hero Association. Or the top tier at the very least. Also if Genos was more of the bitter type or not as surprisingly optimistic then he would have question the humanity of most politicians. Sadly, this is not the kind of cyborg Genos is. ]
But no, it certainly doesn't seem so. I'm certain that many of us here share similar qualities, in fact.
[Sounds like a movie, but for whatever reason, he doesn't think Genos is lying. What would be the point in that? To sound more interesting? He's already a robot -- a somewhat robot. A cyborg.]
Did you know anyone who was just regular?
[Using the word normal there isn't so appealing.]
Is there anyone from your city that you recognize here? I've only run into one person that I knew.
[But he's an antagonist and supposed to be dead. He probably doesn't count.]
[ Regular? That seems kind of vague. There are "regular" people that he knows here but that's probably not what Raiden is referring to. ]
My master is an ordinary human, however he possesses powers that are beyond compare.
[ So does that mean he's normal? Probably not...but all of the labs that Genos has sent in for his master have all proved to be unhelpful in uncovering the source of his strength. ]
And there is no one here that I recognize. No one yet. However, I'm not discouraged and in fact, it is probably for the best that they are not here.
[Why he gotta make things more complex. What he's described sounds like a conundrum, but he doesn't sound like an ordinary human if he's got superpowers.
He can't truly comment on the matter, though. Just vaguely frown, as per his default expression.]
