Hikaru's hands fly to his mouth in horror. He can't meet Akira's eyes anymore; he looks up at Sai, who gazes solemnly at the young boy before them as Akira ducks his head to hide tears.
"You're no hero," Akira spits at the ground. "Are you even a Next? I can't draw any power from you... You're a-- cheater! You're just-- inexcusable!"
After a moment, Akira roughly whips his head up, and his eyes blaze a startling blue.
"Fight me."
"What?" Hikaru gasps.
"I am going to become a hero," Akira says firmly, voice still vicious. "Yes... And if some day you, too, are going to become a hero, and get a lot of fans and money, and maybe help people in the interim... Then surely, you won't lose to me here and now. "
Akira extends his hand, invitation and challenge in one.
"Come on!"
Hikaru gulps and glances up at Sai.
Yes, Sai murmurs. I will fight him. Lend me your body.
Hikaru raises a trembling hand. Akira grabs him by the wrist. It begins to rain.
Akira lost his parents because a hero was trying too hard to be flashy. Akira was saved by Wild Tiger, who personally apologized for the tragedy. Akira never could bring himself to be a fan of heroes, but he adored Wild Tiger, and stridently took on Wild Tiger's beliefs that heroes should be public servants, and that saving people is the only thing that matters, property destruction and angry sponsors be damned.
Akira's power is to copy powers, like Kaede. He is freaked out by Hikaru because he doesn't pick up anything when he touches Hikaru, even though Hikaru is supposedly a Next.
In fact, Hikaru channels Sai-- who is a ghost, but not nearly as old as in HnG proper --and what Akira saw was really Sai's powers. Sai's power, even while alive, was to throw his consciousness into the bodies of others (a la Marianne in Code Geass). Sai, like Jake, also had a rare secondary power-- something rather like an invisible force capable of pushing and pulling objects.
Akira is so powerfully in control of his abilities that he is signed as a hero at a young age. He uses his real name because he feels he has nothing to hide or lose. Hikaru watches him on TV and is terrified to see Akira in danger so often.
Hikaru later comes into his own Next powers-- which happen to be the same as Akira's. Hikaru attends Hero Academy and becomes a hero so that he may fight by Akira's side and protect him. Akira is initially quite appalled, but also baffled by the sudden change in Hikaru's powers.
Together they become the next Barnaby-Wild Tiger-esque crime fighting duo.
