have I been waiting for a chance to say "like robocop?" no comment.

Wren was instantly abashed, anger (misplaced as always) snuffed out like a candle in a wind tunnel. Sure, they had meant insult with that comment, but there was a huge difference between a casual cutting remark and a below the belt sucker punch. Especially against someone who had previously not been bothered by anything said. And it had seemed like a sore spot, even though V looked fully human as far as Wren could see even if he had a tech 'aesthetic'.

They didn't recognize all the words V said, but with a moment to think and the context clues of what they could understand they were pretty sure they were able to piece it together, brow furrowing a bit as they mentally worked through it - and then those tattoos got a second look.

… Wren's powers had vanished, but what had happened to other people who might be more than human? Wren couldn't be the only one dragged in here.

"... Like RoboCop?" Wren asked after a moment of somewhat awkward silence, just to make sure they were on the right page.
