[LN] Danger Zone
Every so often, in the rare times where things were quiet on Berk, Hiccup and Toothless would take off and tear around the sky for a few hours to clear their heads. Chiefing, and Alphaing, was difficult work even for those who'd been doing it for years, and the pair's experience with either was less than optimal. The flights were their way of relaxing.
Of course, it'd be more relaxing if they weren't, according to the position of the stars in the sky, suddenly hundreds of miles away from where they were supposed to be, being chased by nine armored humanoid beings flying monstrous creatures that even Hiccup hesitated to call dragons. To top it all off, the nine were followed by a small army of shadowy creatures equally as monstrous as their mounts.
Faced with this, it wasn't surprising that Hiccup had decided to put off figuring out why he could now hear Toothless's thoughts until after he and the Night Fury were out of mortal danger.
Hiccup turned his head back to take a look at their pursuers. "Okay bud, don't panic, but I think they may actually be gaining on us."
What?! Toothless's eyes widened, How can they be gaining on us? I'm supposed to be the fastest thing up here.
"I'm sorry, but apparently you aren't."
So then, what's the plan?
Hiccup shrugged. "Way I see it is we've got one of two options. We can either try to outlast them on endurance, or turn around and take them head on. Honestly, I'm not liking our chances either way."
Well, if we're doomed no matter what, I think we should do our best to make 'em regret it.
As one, the pair turned around, Toothless's spine beginning to glow a bright, luminescent blue. They charged, the dragon firing explosive balls of plasma into the mass of ink-black terrors.

She looked at the others, her eyes darting to each of them. They'd all helped to some degree.
"Thank you."
Her tone made it clear that it wasn't something she said all that often.

Now that nobody was dying he was letting himself enjoy this a little more.
"I only read the books because people kept trying to say the books were better than the movies and I wanted to be able to argue that they weren't, but then I actually read them so now I argue with people that they are better than the movies, mostly for the rhymes and lore, which a lot of people think are extraneous but I think they make the world seem real. Except now I know that world is definitely real so I guess that means the version in the movies is real, too. But anyway, what I'm trying to say is: this is so cool."
This stuff really was mythic.

Still, it's hard not to smile when it's clear that whatever he'd done had worked. Even if it didn't make scientific sense.
He rose to his feet and moved toward the girl with the magic staff. "Here, let me look at your arm, we should at least clean that and bandage it up."

The moment hipster guy touched her wrist, the injury tingled like someone had sprayed disinfectant on it and healed over like her already-supercharged myth healing had been taken up to eleven. Hipster guy seemed just as surprised as her, twitching backward and looking at his hands like he wasn't sure they were even his anymore.
"That wasn't supposed to be a permanent spell," she said slowly. "Just for using the athelas."

"Okay," he said. "Okay. I'm just...going to go deal with this in another room. Nice meeting you all, bye."
He bolted out of the room before anyone could stop or grab him. He just...needed to find a quiet corner and take a few deep breaths. He could handle this.
He could totally handle spontaneously manifesting super powers. Absolutely. No bones about it.
