Pairing: Hardison, gen team
Prompt: Chronic Hero Syndrome
What They've Become
It started the afternoon Parker stole candy *back* to give to babies.
Okay, it probably started way before that. But that was when he first really started noticing it.
It seemed… odd… to even think about but the more Hardison watched the more and more he saw it happening.
Parker stole candy from a bully and gave it back to the baby. Sophie stopped a woman from buying a truly hideous pair of shoes on one of their "team outings" and spent the next twenty minutes giving her fashion advice. Eliot beat up a couple of guys who were harassing a waitress at a bar they were meeting a client in. And Nate… god Nate Helped an old woman cross a street.
The team had developed freaking chronic hero syndrome! Even if they all looked at him like he was crazy when he started ranting about how they were a trope he knew they had.
But he hadn't. He'd knew better. Yes, Hardison was a good guy but it was important to know when and how to say no. He did. He really did.
Anyone who pointed out he'd been helping out the old lady on the fourth floor by picking up her groceries and mail for her would be ignored. That was just being a good person right?
