[Jason certainly felt more comfortable talking to the other teenagers -- though he'd held his own with the adults as well.]
That's right. I can also control the wind and use that to fly -- so the name fit for multiple reasons I think. I had a few other options I was considering -- but for me it was a little awkward coming up with a name. So I tried to go with one that wasn't too...[he searches for a word to use here.] pretentious.
[The way Deku talks makes Jason think that he wouldn't be judged if he admitted to having made a whole list of names before narrowing it down to Bolts. He still wasn't entirely sure of THAT choice either, but it was what he had landed on.]
Sounds tough. I guess you could look at this place as a sort of...study abroad program then? Not sure how you'll convince your school back home to accept it as credit though.
[He's partly joking. After all, they ARE technically here for a serious reason and to save the entire multiverse. But Jason's used to dangers on the global level, so upping the stakes hasn't really sunk in for him yet. He's also doing his best to make the conversation easy -- so he hopes that helps.
It's Jason's turn to look a little embarrassed now. Every time he mentions this he feels like he's bragging, because he has a feeling he knows what MOST people must think when they hear that term. But, it's just a part of who he is and he can't exactly lie about his parentage.]
Ah...yeah. Do they have Greek or Roman mythology where you're from?
