11:32 p.m.

Miles Edgeworth sat upon his bed, back rested against the headboard. He had a book in hand, reading a particular passage on cosmic rays when the narrating astrophysicist had delved into a particularly fond memory of his childhood in which he would hide and wait in a tree after class for another young friend of his, in order to procure a particular piece of confectionary that was otherwise forbidden to him at home. This friend would provide him with his sugary fix while he would help his friend with his homework. Clearly, a mutually beneficial arrangement.

...Not that it had much to do with cosmic ray spallation, in any case.

Edgeworth smirked, reminded promptly of a fond memory of his own. In his youth, he was also quite fond of climbing trees. Such a simple, relaxing activity gave the shy, introverted boy a moment of solace whenever he wasn't being drilled for an upcoming flute recital or playing a rousing game of chess with... well, the faceless person in his memory.

He could almost picture himself on one of the top-most branches of his favourite tree as a child. He would lay on his back as his eyes traced out patterns of sky shining through the leaves, as his little fingers stripped away small chunks of bark.

"Miles?"

In the younger form of his memories, he looked down at his spiky-haired friend standing at the base of the trunk with those large, blue eyes peering back up at him.

"You wouldn't do that to me! Cause we're best friends!"
takethat: Phoenix staring with huge, wide eyes, and a word bubble that says "....." (shocked)

"What kind of code?"

Phoenix was in awe of such a brilliant idea, and his eyes shone as he waited for guidance.

"Oh." His countenance fell, and he chewed his lower lip, trying to think of something good. "It's gotta be something no one else can crack."

Present-day Phoenix, too, remembered the silly little song he made up with Miles all those years ago, as he grinned ruefully and rubbed his face with his hands before removing his earbuds long enough to try to recall the ditty.

We did come up with a code, sort of... didn't we? Our song... "N-O-B-O-D-Y as A-C-E as U-S!" wasn't it?

What little fortune-tellers we were.


He laughed to himself.

The name of the "superhero" team wouldn't come to Phoenix, either, though he found his mind wandering in the same direction. The name and face of the third child who formed the group was lost to him, but he could remember Miles--with "nerd powers"--and himself, to be sure.

He recalled insisting that he had the power of gravity because of his hair, and laughed at the memory of a young Miles telling him all the reasons why that didn't make any sense.

For a moment, Phoenix thought to crack open his journal and start doodling the team logo in it, just to see if Miles ever noticed; he thought better of the idea, but not without some chagrin. After all, he'd been the one to design the logo, hadn't he? Even though he hadn't been the leader of the group.

Who was the leader, anyway?

He couldn't remember; it seemed as though it was no one in particular, the duty being shared equally.

What had been Phoenix's superhero name? It was something altogether unoriginal, given his "power"--Gravity Man. That was it. He shook his head, remembering it, and muttered aloud to himself, "Way to show your creative side, me."

It might have been silly and trite, but he recalled insisting on one lazy summer afternoon, "You have to call me Gravity Man for the rest of the day!" to Miles.

"Because today, that's who I am," Phoenix replied matter-of-factly.

"Yesterday, I was Nick," he sighed, exasperated at having to explain this, "and tomorrow, I don't know yet!"

"Control gravity, of course!"

Phoenix rolled his eyes and then turned to make a dramatic leap into the air. "He can jump as high as he wants to! Or he can make himself weigh two tons because he might need to be really heavy for something!"
takethat: Phoenix as he usually appears--bright eyes, happy smile. (huff)

That might've been meant as a jab, but Phoenix nodded seriously. "Yes! Now you understand!"
takethat: Phoenix as he usually appears--bright eyes, happy smile. (mad)

"No!" He shoved Miles and frowned. "Gravity Man isn't fat! He's just about gravity!"

"Then you be Fat Man!"
