What is normal for "hedgehogs"? Do you even know?

[Maybe they were brown, like earth hedgehogs.

It got worse all of a sudden? Puberty, maybe. If space hedgehogs even had that. He knew humans did, and a lot of other Earth mammals.

He watches the sparks, then holds up his hand, mirroring Sonic's action. Golden orange instead of electric blue.

Energy so powerful, it could be felt galaxies away... traveling even faster than the speed of light. He knew he was powerful... but he never really thought how powerful]

"With great power comes great responsibility", right?

[Maria hadn't been a huge fan of comic books, but some of the younger researchers at the base were.]

[He shook his head.] No. Before you, I don't remember any other hedgehogs. I was too young when Longclaw found me and saw what I had. I don't even know if my birth parents are actually dead or if they had to give me up for my safety. One of those 'when you're older' conversations. So probably a sad story, however it was.

But there weren't hedgehogs in the worlds I remember. Maybe so she could pretend blue was normal if she had to buy time for us to pack up.

[Probably puberty. He has grown in height, thanks Tom for being a measuring stick.]

[He chuckles.] Ah, a Spiderman fan, huh?

Yeah. Just feels like, if I have all this power, I should do something with it. And it sucks feeling trapped and helpless, so helping people when they need it, that feels like the thing I should do.

[A pause.] But you don't have to feel that way. Sometimes responsiblity is just not abusing power to hurt others for no good reason.

You should still do what you wanna do.
