These were supers, even if they were wannabe supers, with their secret identities and whatnot. JANUS hadn't fully inducted everyone into their database yet, with full information of their documented powersets, weaknesses and liabilities, and all the way up to their personal histories. Perhaps that would come later. If they did, John Lung would've known a critical fact about Atrophy.
But as it were, standing there, the JANUS aide could catch a glimpse of what seemed like the presence of two separate persons behind the curtain. Being a handler for superpowered beings, this wouldn't have cogntively surprised him much, but still, the initial reaction was startling.
"Thank you." The hollow voice resumed, and then the skull-like facade of Atrophy poked back out, as if nothing had happened.
"I wasn't expecting the compliment." He relaxed a little, reminding himself not to react too defensively now that he was on the right side of the law.
"Nowhere near as impressive as Lady Justice," Atrophy mused by way of making conversation in response to the estimation that John had shown him.
"Once I tried to make a getaway from Starpoint Labs, you know, out by the Observatory. She flew across half the city before I even made it past two blocks, and knocked me out with a single strike." Atrophy blabbed a little by way of overcompensation,
"Big shoes to fill ..." His last words petered off as he accompanied John Lung back outside for the debrief.
OOC:
Don't mind me just stretching my writing legs after all that combat.
