He’d trained for Total Victory. Not necessarily for what comes after.

Those that ventured out to Minoru’s world to watch this year’s American Ninja Warrior Finals live and in person, knew exactly why the resident hospital orderly had been on freerunning across Cloud 9 since he got back. Those who couldn’t make it out there might have caught an interdimensional replay on TV. The twins had already seen it playing on one of the many screens in The Angel’s Retreat.

To those who hadn’t, though, Minoru’s question was entirely hypothetical, an innocuous kind of thing lots of people chatted about after a long week at work. And perhaps that was for the best.

“Okay, so… if you suddenly had a million dollars, what would you do with it?”

"Save it and then before you know it you'll have one billion dollars."

Tony believed in holding onto the first million and then building on that to grow that profit into something bigger. Hey, a million dollars was a starting point, right? Or, depending on your circumstances, it could be a ton load of money for someone who's not used to money.

"Mind if I ask how you got a million dollars, kid?"

Wasn't this Ziggy's cuddle boyfriend?

Cookie knows how to count! Only up to ten though so a million dollars might be beyond his fuzzy brain. Minoru though! Cookie's friend.

"A mee-lion dollars? Dat a lot? Cookie can't count more dan ten so----ummmm.....Min-oru got lots of moneys?"

The blue monster now staring.

"Me buys de biggest COOKIE IN DEH WORLD!"

Of course.

Aal coughs half bemused half wry in the way of..a wee bit surprised by the sudden question but also like..You want a list friend?

She coughs again at the thought in lieu of a full chuckle. "Well, besides taking care of some immediate things, invest some in several things and places, and fund a few pet projects." Not just her own either.

"I don't know...that's a lot." There is a little girl near you Minoru, twiddling her fingers as she thinks very deeply about the question. "I guess, give it to the school I live at? They always give me everything I need, so...they should get money to better help the students and heroes who work there."

She pondered the question for a moment before giving a slight shrug.

"Truth be told, I've always been pretty well off... Perhaps I'd use it to travel. I've always enjoyed learning about people, how they think, cultural views and the like. Either that or maybe I'd buy a nice place out in the woods here in the Nexus, something a little more like back home..."

She sighed, giving him a smile.

"I hope you weren't expecting something a bit more exciting from this old bat."

Mikkel had seen the performance in real life and was still startled by it. He and Fredrik had been talking about what it might take to do what Minoru had. While Mikkel was strong and light footed from dancing that wasn't exactly the same as what Minoru pulled off.

Either way, he's glad to bump into Minoru. Though their conversations often turn embarrassing, for both of them, the Dane values Minoru's advice and is glad for an opportunity to maybe return it.

"I talked to a financial advisor and they gave me a lot of ideas but... a lot of things seems to be better than just one." That was what the young Dane had taken away from it. Being in LA and his profession meant he was making more than he was used to and it sometimes felt like a million dollars even if it was only a thousand.
