[Seeing herself looking back at herself in the little window on the corner of her monitor, Korra gave a stumped look and tapped the little camera lens that the desktop was using. Seeing her huge finger tapping back at her caused her a smile and she cleared her throat. Music can be heard from the speakers.]

Ahem. Hello. My name's Korra, I just got here. I'm the Avatar, but I'm not too sure that means anything here. [She looks both angry and confused, immediately wondering why she just thought of that now instead before.] But anyway, the kedan informed me that I should probably get a job. [Of course it probably sounded a lot nicer when they said it.]

So if anyone knows of a good place to work at, I'd appreciate the help. [She leans forward and puts her forehead in her hand, admonishing herself for not bringing up what she would able to do for work.] Um, I'm a bender, I can create fire and move water or earth around or into just about any shape or form you need? [Ice sculpting crossed her mind. She'd never given any thought to it. Then again she was never too artistic to begin with.] I don't know if fire matters? Burning things doesn't sound a like it'd be in big demand...

Also I'm a former pro athlete! If there's any kinds of sports going on I'd like to get into that! [A smile spreads across her face.] Doesn't even have to be a job, just for fun.

I'm in the Metal Sector if that helps. If anybody's from there we can meet up and you could fill me in a little more about this place? Looks pretty cool to be honest. Oh, and food, meeting at a restaurant would be good. [She stares at her monitor screen with her lips pushed to one side of her mouth.] And any advice or pointers on these things- [She points at the monitor, which just seems like she's pointing at the viewers.] would be welcome too. The kedan gave me a quick once over for it, but I'm not sure that's going to be enough.

[There's an long awkward pause as she looks left to right nervously.]

Yeah, that's about it.

[Her mouth squinches to one side.] We tried our own group, Team Avatar, and everyone got arrested except for me. That sounds kind of like the same thing to me. With the kedan being the way most of them are right now, it seems like that’s what they’d do.

So, is this a full-time thing or just when some bad stuff pops up?

[wallcrawler]

Actually they've hated us helping out since we got here, from what I've heard.

[He attributes it to stubborn kedan pride more than anything else, though. Not like anyone on the team was woefully incompetent.]

Some of us treat it like a full time job, but not everyone. If a major emergency ever pops up again though, expect everyone to be involved. Pretty sure that's what Batgirl wanted, for it to be a way for us to coordinate when things get ugly.

[alphatar]

Well these consoles are pretty handy when it comes to communicating. Beats the telegraph, let me tell you.

All right, I'm in. If I need to get a hold of any of you guys in case I come across something big, how do I do that without alerting anyone else?

[wallcrawler]

Aaactually, no, you're not. One of us is gonna have to vouch for you first. Heck, maybe more than one. The girl who got this whole thing started's gone back home, so I don't know if they've changed the process at all.

But hey, you're in the sector I patrol the most, so at least it should be easy enough to plan out.

[alphatar]

You're kidding? [Her sigh sounds more like a groan as she slaps her forehead.] I'll be there to help if something dangerous happens with or without doing the vouching or testing that's needed.

Wait, you're in the Metal sector too? Where at? I'm in ME-2B I think. I'll have to check again to be sure.

[wallcrawler]

I am soooo not telling you where I live. It's called a secret identity for a reason.

[Also, not telling her anything means he's technically not being a lying liar who lies, so his conscience can be at peace with it too!]

I just patrol the Metal Sector most because it's pretty similar to where I came from back home. Lots of tall buildings, automobiles, rude inhabitants, the works.

As for the vouching, don't worry about it. It just means we've gotta see you in action, so we know you can handle yourself. Course, I can't say for sure if that's enough anymore, but at least it'll give us something to work with.

[Frankly, if the webhead was better at being a team player, he'd probably know this stuff. But he's still used to being a solo act, so he's only slightly less out of the loop than Korra is.]

Besides, I'm always on the lookout for more training partners. Sparring with White Tiger's only good for the standard hand-to-hand types.

[alphatar]

Oh, right.

Secret identity. [Her tone is completely dispassionate and her mouth just moves to one side of her face as she listens about the requirements for joining, eyerolling.]

Oh? Who's White Tiger? Or is it an actual tiger?

[wallcrawler]

Teammate. Here, and in the alternate universe she comes from.

It's kinda complicated, but no, she's not an actual tiger.

[alphatar]

I don't have to wear a mask too, do I?

[wallcrawler]

That's pretty much up to preference. Same goes for tights.

[alphatar]

I'm just going to leave those things up to you. No offense, but that's just-

No, that's just a no for me.
