"Yes?"
"There's one thing I never could grasp. That whole time you've been killing people and no one, not even Hiro found out about it? Isn't she supposed to be science prodigy levels of smart?"
Suko thought back, there are things about her past that she's not proud of but she never knew the Kurosawas personally. She only met Hiro that one time when she picked Chidori up from work and, from what she sensed, there's more to her than her amazonian appearance. "To be fair. This was long before she fully dedicated herself into the Guardian role. And even then I was really careful not to get caught. You see the comics and mangas always make it so obvious for the heroes to catch the villain but real monsters like me had to put in a lot of work to not get within a hero's radar. Let alone encounter one. You have no idea how much I had to try and juggle that and operating a restaurant."
"That stressful"
"One time I had to take a me day. Got to have a focused mind to do what I do. Heck, even Chidori was just plain lucky when she found out. By the time she did, she barely made it out with her life"
Johnny nodded, "What if Hiro found out?"
Suko shrugged. "Worst case scenario I'd just target a member of her family to make a point. Something tells me Hana would hurt the most"
Johnny tensed at that, reflecting to that one particular crime he committed in his dimension. "Yeah"
This flinch did not escape Suko's attention and she held up her hands. "Ah shit was that a line? Did I cross a line?"
"Uhm, well, kind of. I..." Johnny sighed. "It's just, Hana, my Earth's Hana, was my final victim before I was caught. It was devastating for them. That was a goddamn line I never should have crossed. I've regretted it every day since."
"I know the feeling, well now I do, I've been regretting every innocent life I've taken since the old days." She rubbed her head. "Sorry about that, Johnny, I should've been more tactful there. I'm still getting used to this whole Empathy thing."
