It was a bright, early morning, and Shingawa Transport Central was nearly lifeless, if not completely empty. Soon, there was the blast of turbines, as the only airplane putting on an arrival this early was a private one, a plane one would only be able to get through connections. A single man had stepped off of the plane and he listened, using his senses to feel the area. Looking around, a man put on an awkward smile, examining whether or not he was actually the only one here. Foot steps echoed throughout the area, *click* *click *click*. Indeed, it was certainly a silent place, other than the clicking of those foot steps. With a bit of a yawn, he began wondering if he could possibly get a ride out of here or if he had to walk. He pushed the blonde hair out of his eyesight and sat down, relaxing. Perhaps when things got a little more busy...
"Hmph. Unmei ga totemo hidoi... Demo shikatta ga nai."
Hmph. Fate is really terrible... But it can't be helped.
It seemed that this guy was going to wait for a car...

The transport center was empty, nothing audible but a few faint footsteps and an ever increasing WOOSH-ing noise.
The spandex-clad super hero arrived at the scene, spotting the new arrival. "A newcomer eh?" He stopped his "flying" motioning, walking up to the gentleman.
"A traveler from parts unknown... or perhaps a villain sent to commit nefarious actions of wickedness!?" Captain Obvious looked at Gatou, a tone of suspicion in his voice. "You look an awful lot like Dr. Awkward...

"Eh?"
Gatou looked up at this oddly dressed man. He was speaking English. It was a language that seemed to exist more and more in Japan, so hearing it from this man wasn't a surprise. Gatou gave him a sort of... awkward smile? Following that awkward smile was a chuckle and an introduction.
"A villain? Not at all, sir. The name's Gatou. Gatou Ankiate. Might I ask who you are...?"
And why you're wearing a costume?
But no. Gatou wouldn't ask that. It would just be rude. But it was certainly an oddity. Maybe his destiny would lead to him assisting those in need? Well, he could've been a police officer. But, in all honesty, this was certainly more appealing in the comical sense.

"My name is Captain Obvious, Defender of Truth, Justice and the Easily Understood Way!" He struck a dramatic pose, an annoying smirk on his face, as though merely reciting his name and motto would remind the boy of who he was.
"Gatou Ankiate eh?" he gave the boy an odd look. "I've never seen or heard of you, and I've lived in this city for 20-odd years. It was actually quite a bit longer.

"I haven't been to this city in years. Probably went when I was much younger, but I can't remember. Anyways..."
Gatou had slowly gotten to his feet and taken up his bag. As he looked around, he'd then began to wonder just where the man came from. It was clear that there was no vehicle. Perhaps he himself walked here? Which could mean that living spaces could be nearby. Looking at... Captain Obvious, it was clear that he was crazy, but Gatou would just have to deal with hm a bit longer.
"Um, Captain Obvious? Do you perhaps have a vehicle that could drive me into the main areas of Tokyo?"

"The Obvious Mobile was destroyed in an epic battle versus Megatron." he replied immediately, recalling the time the shopping cart he stole was run over by a truck. "But never mind that! I can fly!" he insisted.

Gatou gave this "Captain Obvious" a look of disbelief, knowing that there was no human in existence that could fly. As a result, he'd come to the conclusion that Captain Obvious was no exception to this rule. And, as such, Gatou couldn't help but chuckle after giving his look of disbelief. Certainly, this man didn't think he could really fly, could he? Slowly getting to his feet, Gatou merely shrugged and said,
"No thanks. I have a problem with heights. Do you think there's anyone with a car or something anywhere in the vicinity?"
For some reason, Gatou had a feeling that asking this man would be useless and that he'd be in an awkward situation sooner, if not later, than he'd thought. Though he knew there were bound to be odd situations in Tokyo. With the clan wars and all.

"Sorry citizen, but I believe this place is quite abandoned this time of night. Or morning. What time is it anyway?" Captain Obvious looked about confused for a second, before looking back at Gatou.
"If you sit tight, I think I can get the Invisible Obvious Plane here." He held out his hand as though he were pressing a button on a remote control. Then, he walked a few steps forward, opening the 'invisible' door and he stood awkwardly, possibly 'sitting' in an 'invisible' chair.
"Hop in!" he said, a tad bit excited.

"Ehe. Didn't I just mention I had a problem with heights?"
Gatou scratched the back of his head awkwardly, giving Captain Obvious the same awkward smile to match. It was official. This guy was nuts. And not just "bag of nuts" nuts either. More like... "if you shake me, you'll hear rattling" nuts. Yeah, that was the way to describe it.
However, it seemed that this guy was bent on believing he was a super hero. And Gatou couldn't take that dream away. But destiny had already decided for this poor fellow that he would not be a so-called super hero. And he wouldn't be able to change this destiny. Not that it would be a problem. Gatou wouldn't get involved with it.
He began to walk away, waving to Captain Obvious, wondering just how or why he'd had this sort of mind set to be a super hero anyways. Comics? Probably contributed. Troubles in the past? Also a good possibility. Shell shock? He was certainly old enough. In the end, though, it all didn't matter. He was crazy anyways.
"Well, I really should start walking then, if no one is going to be here that I could hitch a ride with."

"You're probably right citizen." He declared. "After all, there is no telling when an evil mastermind such as Dr. Awkward may show up to cause mayhem. I can't allow harmless citizens to be caught in the crossfires. I'll just be on my way.
He flicked some imaginary switches, made some weird buzzing and engine starting up noises, then continued to walk out, mildly awkwardly as he was still pretending he was sitting down on one of the seats of the Invisible Obvious Plane.

"Unmei ga totemo hidoi yo. Demo... tokidoki ii yo."
Fate is really terrible. But... It's sometimes good.
Gatou had watched as Captain Obvious had departed, Gatou also departing. It'd take awhile, but it seemed like he'd have to walk to the main city... Not that it was a problem. It was natural for a nomad to walk around. Perhaps it was because he was feeling a bit lazy today. But that didn't matter now. He was walking. It seemed that, for now, he would have to deal with this destiny. As per the usual.
