[He frowns a little when he murmurs it, thoughtful. He tries for a second to figure out if he should have known the kid was Japanese before now, but he doesn't know shit about the place. They could well have superheroes running around his Japan back home, for all he knows.
They don't. His home doesn't exist here, and there's no getting back to it no matter how long he flies. But it's a nice thought, for a second.
I've never spoken Japanese in my life, he could say. He kind of wants to say it, but he's not ready to look totally nuts just yet. He sighs, purses his lips, frowns at the crowd.]
Yeah. Yeah, this is it. You think someone might have taken him? I didn't have him leashed or anything, uh, I didn't think I'd-
[He didn't think he'd magically appear in the middle of a fucking city. Not really a great way to finish that sentence. But he's not really sure how to save the sentence with something normal either, so he just leaves it.]
No, I don't think so. At least, it seems like it would be hard to grab a dog without alerting attention.
[He mumbles to himself, trying to think. It's possible that the dog just got confused and perhaps lost in the crowd. In a new place, in strange country those things can happen.
Then he glances up at Hank and tries to give him a reassuring smile.]
We'll find him. I promise.
...Just a sec, I'm gonna get a better view.
[Green lightning suddenly crackles around his body and he leaps into the air, a good 20 feet, and lands up on top of a nearby building. There he covers his eyes with a hand and looks around, trying to find Sumo as if that was a completely normal thing to do.]
[And there the kid goes, up, up, and away. Hank shields his eyes from the sun and squints upward, watching him and mumbling to himself.]
Superheroes. Right. Superpowers. Okay.
[It's a good thing someone has that kind of superpowers here, though, because Hank would have taken a lot longer to spot a big dog in a back alley a few blocks from here. It's leaning against someone who's sitting against the wall, and then the person starts to stand up and the dog moves with them.]
