[Nita is looking perkier than she has since the Malicant mess started. She's also looking moist, since, with the return of her gills, she's been spending most of her time underwater, and only came up now to make a network post. And, last of all, she's looking concerned, because there's something that's been bothering her, and she just can't figure it out.]

I'm not even close to a magical theorist or anything, and there's gotta be someone who knows more about this stuff than I do... I have a question.

How did some of us lose things we always had? Like, I understand, sort of, how Captain America--sorry, Cap, I'm gonna use you as an example--could lose his powers, 'cause he got them from an experiment. I even kind of get how mutant powers like my ankle wings could go away, because they're genetic but they're not really normal. But my gills--and the other Atlanteans' gills--closed up! That's not special! Every member of our species has those!

What's going on with this place that it can take away ordinary things?

Nita, babe so glad to see you! Glad you're okay as well. Y'know, besides the crappy gill thing.

[Kon is smiling and gives a slight wave which is more a jerk of his hand than anything.]

I don't even know what's going on, I mean I think everyone was hit regardless of what was normal or not.

Forget that, we need to hang out or something before the next crazy adventure begins.

Kon, hey!

You gotta come to me. I can't fly right now.

[She holds up a foot to the screen and waggles it around to demonstrate the lack of ankle wings.]

[He winces seeing he ankles being wingless and he knows how much it's gotta suck cause that's part of her power too and it's still not back. But hey, at least the gills are back.]

No worries, I'll be there in a few.

Want me to bring anythin'?

[She's fine now that she has a reasonable assurance the wings are coming back.]

I think I'm good, unless you've got some chips or something just lying around.

I might do? I'll check before I go.

[littlecousin]

Awesome. I'll be by the pool.

[Let's not kid ourselves--she'll be in the pool.]

[Video] Action cool or handwave then hanging out?

[tactile_telekinesis]

Cool, see ya soon!

[She waves at the console and disconnects. When he gets there, Nita's floating in the pool, elbows resting on the deck and keeping her head out of the water, though her hair is thoroughly soaked, suggesting she'd been under until just now.]
