Alright, just don'- [His mouth hangs open when he watches him do that thing where he seems to vanish just to reappear at another place again and his brain stubbornly whispers 'Superspeed. This's got to be spuerspeed.' in the most matter of fact way possible.
Stumbling over his own feet Cutter shakes his head and tries to focus.
This is all weird as hell - why is his dancing bro suddenly acting like some urban fantasy hero who's showing off during his first encounter with the heroine?! - but there are more pressing things to worry about like killer-ladybugs and- ]
I'm so fucking not okay with this! Why is this all- [Spotting a fallen toothpick he rushes toward it, feeling like crying from the overload of the situation.] -like some freaking cartoon story? Most importantly, why didn't I get some awesome powers as well?!
[Wiping his tears away he jerks the pointy piece of wood up and grasps it like a spear. There! Ready!]
Hold still for a second so that I can catch up to you, roadrunner!
But uh, give it a little time and you might have some superpowers???? That is a thing that happens to people - oh, shit. [ he has to block another strike from like, the killer ladybug. god. ] I refuse to die in such a stupid way? I'm not too cool for it, but it's so stupid!
[Cutter huffs, unable to keep a small smile from appearing on his face.]
Nice to see you've got your priorities all sorted out, bro! If you want to have a better superhero name you gotta make one up yourself and tell me about it!
[But it's reassuring to the point where he feels fine leaping over his worries and actually attacking the beetle that's going after Dave by pushing his toothpick beneath its side and trying to topple it over.]
No getting eaten by bugs before you're dead and six feet under here!
[ it's. maybe not a superhero name but it's the title he's most comfortable with, even if he doesn't know, still, the full extent of what that means. still, he offers a slanted sideways grin as cutter topples the beetle, easing back so he doesn't get in the way and guarding the rear. ]
But if we're doin' superhero names, you need one, too. Or is it just gonna be Cutter?
Sounds cool, but like a mouthful to s-OW! Stupid bug, do you mind?! We're having a man's talk here!
[He engages in a brief fencing duel with the swaying beetle leg that just whacked him over the head while it tries frantically to get back up. He could move in to kill his opponent and he knows he should, but something keeps him back. The opponent is already defeated and it's a freaking ladybug for god's sake! How could he ever say he's killed a ladybug and feel good about it?]
Tch-! Forget the name and let's get out of here, okay? It's not like I'll ever be a hero anyways!
[He doesn't like the idea of hightailing it out, but they're just bugs so it's not as if he's running from any real enemies! Hell, he can probably turn it into a joke later on.]
Let's go to a place where we can talk about your heroes!

[ he's fast enough to keep them busy, anyway, flickering in place and then seeming to move motion-blur fast, when he can even be spotted.
WHEN THE HELL DID DAVE GET FAST. ]

You know, showin' mercy.

[He snorts as starts running as well, half debating whether he should just try to hitch a ride with Dave or not.
Oh hell, he's just going to go for it!]
Hey, can you do that speed-thing again while I'm holding onto you?
