Hiro yelps and ducks the swing of a pool cue. He may not be as strong or as skilled with it as is brother, but he's not without basic self-defense training.

He took care to prepare for the microbots, not thugs with fists, and even with the microbots repulsed for the moment they're still there at the edge of his vision, distracting him, creating a nervous undercurrent]
There are - oof - easier ways to test than this! [There's a hand on his wrist; Hiro grabs back and twists, until he can slam his heel into the back of a locked elbow, not hard enough to break any arms but enough to startle so he can get free.] I came to talk!
