[If what they're assuming is that the abilities are based on something to do with them- a defence, or a craving to be able to accomplish something they don't have the means to do on their own- or something in their history, that they learned, were taught, lived by- then Dick's ability isn't anything he can feel applies. If he'd had a defensive ability born of the way he lived- in defence of others, in protecting himself so that he could continue to protect others- catching them, as their safety net- it would have appeared by now. When he'd stepped in for his brothers back in August, or when he'd gone up against the UNA.
Dick had no abilities prior to arriving here either, from which to draw from or twist into something slightly different. His mouth sets, and he glances away. Unlike normal, he's wearing darker colours to match Fitz as well, preferring to blend in with the space rather than his normal array of eye burning bright colours and LED light tracings. He's leaning against a smooth bit of metal, one foot resting on it, and his arms crossed. It's less a defensive gesture so much as it is designed to keep himself deliberately still.
And- maybe, perhaps, his hearts not fully in it. Connor isn't the only one who seemingly went missing, without any prior contact or warning in the form of something they knew they were supposed to fight against. His teeth catch his lip as he stares hard at the chunk of metal that Fitz had thrown, and then skipped throw a portal even farther away]
Hard to say is right. I can't visualize something I don't know is there. Nothing- [His natural abilities aren't affected either, as far as he can tell. He's not more empathetic, not more starved for contact or attention any more than he already is as a social creature by nature- not more charming, swaying people with a well placed word, other than his own natural charm and friendliness. Nothing is enhanced] I haven't noticed anything different. Nothing combat oriented changed anything for me. Whatever it is- it's not a literal defence mechanism.
I don't think it'll make a difference, but- show me again? Slower, if you can.
