[ He knows that Taako doesn't have any friends from back home here, and asking after people he's separated from is probably rude, but Cisco can't help but be curious, especially when the name has come up a few times now. ]
rogues use it too. one of those skills that works for entertainment or thievery.
[ Wow, Taako, way to ask the hard questions. ]
not exactly. i mean, there are only one or two metas who are actually superheroes, and yeah, for them it's a secret identity thing. don't want the bad guys finding out who they are and taking their families hostage or some shit.
[ Hahaha, wouldn't that be terrible... ]
some of them wanna cover it up because they're using their powers to commit crimes and don't want to be caught.
others have got dangerous powers, though. i met this woman whose abilities made it so everything she touched, like with her bare hands, turned explosive. she didn't want to hurt anyone, but... she couldn't turn it off.
and for other metas i guess it's just a shame thing. not like they had a choice. they just got turned into freaks against their will and now they gotta live with it.
