[The feed cuts on to reveal a young teenage girl in a slightly dirty and definitely revealing dress, a shaky smile on her face as well as a slightly bemused look. Above her heart, if someone looks hard enough, they’ll see a floral tattoo. She tucks a strand of blonde hair behind her ear.] Um, hey. [What now? She rubs her hands over her bare arms, going quiet for a second before taking a deep breath.] So. This seriously happened, huh? Universal kidnapping or whatever it is. You know, I was... I was supposed to be going home finally. I was supposed to be going back to school and picking my life up again and...

[She falls silent again.] Not that anyone actually wants to hear all that, just one more person whining about things. I don’t want to be a whiner. [Yes she does. Fuck all this injustice.]

Anyway. [There’s a bright grin on her face now.] My name’s Vanessa. And I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of the nearest clothing store? Or a mall> I’m, uh... Not really dressed for whatever this is. [She feels really uncomfortable being in her low cut white dress.] That’s what I get for being dressed to go partying, right? [Ahahaha......]

I've always wondered what a mental breakdown would feel like. You think this is what it's like? That you start hallucinating being kidnapped to yet another alternate universe, except there are actual people here? Because... [She pauses.] God, that sounds way more mental than having a breakdown would.

[Excuse her, she's just. Having a moment. And squinting at him now.] You really fight crime?

You are not having a mental breakdown. I promise. I've been to other dimensions and stuff, this one isn't really all that different except for the whole, you know, 'trapped here because people are assholes' thing.

[And then he rolls his eyes a little.]

Yep. I really fight crime. In spandex.

Normally, other dimensions aren't supposed to exist, you know? [Eeeeeeven if she's been to another one before.] It's just a lot to take in, and I've had a lot to deal with lately. This is like the cherry on the sundae.

[A small smirk.]

Spandex is really unflattering.

Yeah, well, neither are guys who conduct lightning. Whatever, science. Your move.

[he just leers at her.]

Somebody's never seen my ass in uniform before.

Point taken. Does it hurt? Conducting lightning, that is.

[She goes quiet for a moment, eyes wide as she blushes. And then she huffs.]

Trust me. Nothing makes spandex look good.

Tingles a bit. The trick is not to overdo it.

[He redirected a bolt of lightning once and it knocked him unconscious. Does that count?]

Oh, ye of little faith. Guess I'll just have to show you just how wrong you are one of these days.

That's probably the general rule to most powers, right? Not overdoing it?

[Totally counts.]

You can try, but I doubt you'll make a believer out of me.

Unless you're the Phoenix, sure.

[VERBAL EYEROLL ON THE HAPPEN THERE because pfff Phoenix.]

Babe? Challenge accepted. Where would you like your slice of stud delivered for proof of your wrongness?

The Phoenix? Like the bird?

[8|||||| Well, look at what you've gotten yourself into, Vanessa.]

What? No. No, I am not... [Choking a bit here.] I am not about to judge your ass in spandex!

No. Like the mutant. Long story.

[oh he just leers. he's leering. this is a thing.]

You have no sense of adventure.

[What, no. Don't leer. She just wants to roll off a cliff and suffer alone.]

I- [Hit the nail on the head there. Sort of.] I so a sense of adventure, okay? I go on adventures! I mean, I do things that aren't just straight-laced... Sometimes. [Cliff, please.]

[He is so leering.]

Girl, you used the word 'straight-laced'. Pretty sure that tells me everything I need to know.

[She grits her teeth.]

You know what, fine. So maybe I don't have a big sense of adventure. What's wrong with that? I like not getting into trouble.

Or maybe you're just not an ass girl. It's cool. Happens to the best of 'em.

[There's a long pause before she lets out a noise that's half-sigh, half-laugh.] It's usually not the first thing I check out.

Lemme guess - pipes?

Doesn't hurt to have some.

Please don't tell me you're a 'personality' chick. You're way too hot to dig a guy for his Ps and Qs.

What? [She doesn't know whether she should be insulted or pleased.] Personalities are really important, you know. You can't have conversations with muscles or an ass.

No, but I hear the hook-ups are fantastic.

[She makes a noise in between a noise and a choke.] Sometimes they are. I'm more of a relationship person. [A pause.] Not that you need to know that.

[He is having fun trolling her like you would not believe.]

Well, normally I'd argue that, but I'm already dating one fabulous blonde chick. Guess I'll have to let someone else do the wooing here.

[She makes it really easy, lbr.]

I have a boyfriend. Back home, okay? I don't need to be wooed.

I'm pretty sure saying 'I have a boyfriend back home' here is like saying 'I have a significant other on the internet' on Earth.

[Oh, he believes her well enough. He's just dialing in the jackass card.]

[Wow. That's actually pretty depressing. Actually her whole life is depressing, so don't mind her as she slumps a bit.] That doesn't make it any less true. Right?
