NanoSteps Brainstorming 2 - Stepping Out

[robkelk]

I'd been in Kyoto for a little over a week, although it was called "Koto" in this world. I'd found a place to live, and was taking the commuter train to a job interview to save money on gas for my bike. That's the only reason I was there when the train's brakes failed.

While I was cursing the fact that I'd left my helmet at home, somebody flew past the window, landed in front of the train, and brought it to a stop - after it overshot the station, but before it entered the intersection.

What do you know; this world had metahumans. Well, it had at least one metahuman.

After the adrenaline rush wore off, I thought about what had happened. I wasn't going to complain about her saving everyone's lives - that would be wrong - but she did need at least some advice on how to use her abilities more delicately, and for some reason I thought I was the right person to give her that advice. Now how was I supposed to find this "Nana Ranger"?

Spoiler

Set somewhere between the Harry Potter step and the Nadia stagger. Oh, and the story is Seven of Seven - an early starring role for Nana Mizuki.
