"Okay," says Enzo, leading Mark into the digimat room, "just stand over there in the target area so I can shoot you with this laser."

"Do you have protective code, too? Or... whatever you have instead."

Pretty much what the narrative just said in parentheses.

"Protective code...? Mark wonders. "Oh. Kinda. Everyone has an immune system. Kids are taught to exercise and eat the right foods to help the immune system stay strong, so they don't get sick."

"I guess mine's stronger than the average person's, given my powers. I've never been truly sick, just to the point like I said before."

(That was the E. coli. It was a bad one... for anyone who wasn't half-Viltrumite.)

"That's kinda like Guardian protective code," Enzo agrees. "We're shielded against a lot of stuff, including most bugs."

There are murmurs from the audience, in which can be heard 'blood' and 'the white parts.' Sounds like some people have been reading Enzo's reports.

"What kinds of things do you fight?" calls a cadet. Enzo's brought superheroes before, but it's become clear there's some variation.

"Supercriminals, mostly," answers Mark. "Sometimes monsters. And I helped my father fight off an invading army of extradimensional aliens, called the Flaxans. They were tough. I also try to help with any accidents that I know about, like shipwrecks or damage from earthquakes. Being able to lift parts of a collapsed building or clear a highway makes you popular in California." He pauses, then clarifies, "There's lots of earthquakes in California." He's not sure how familiar the sprites are with the meatspace geography.

"That's on the west side of the middle part of North America."

"Right. I should have brought some pictures." He shrugs. "Something to think about for the future, right?"

"Next question?" he asks the room.
