Dirk would call it tech but… yeah it was basically magic.
He felt oddly bereft when Jason put the gun away, acutely aware of the places it had been pressed against him a moment before in a way that he hadn't been when he thought Jason was just a robot.
Fucking human, yeah. Dirk drew a breath, didn't take his own helmet off right away so he could make sure his face wasn't doing something weird first before he reached up to loosen the snaps on his own mask, taking it off to return Jason's stare for stare, bright honey-orange eyes practiced at looking indifferent even if he spent most of his life with nobody to look indifferent to.
Without the helmet, the paler scar tissue around his neck was visible, circling it fully, an incongruently blank spot amid skin otherwise peppered with freckles.
"Well I stand corrected then fellow human. Fuck, honest mistake."
