So, uh-- this is gonna sound pretty weird, I guess.

[ The sound of Abby tinkering around with something near her comm. ]

But, um. There wouldn't be someone around who would hook me up with like, adamantium-jacketed bullets, would there?

[pacifisted]

[Mental check over substances he knows--this one? Not one of them.]

What's adamantium?

[tothecloud]

Oh-- it's like. [ A considering pause. ] This really, really strong metal stuff. It's basically indestructible.

[pacifisted]

[More thinking. How to ask her without actually, like. Giving secrets away?]

Sounds hard to handle. How would you manipulate it?

[tothecloud]

Uh.

[ That's a darn good question. ]

I-- I dunno, really. Usually, they just kinda give them to me. [ A beat. ] I bet somebody else from home knows though. Like, you know, a scientist or something.

Voice;

[ahhmahgawd]

Why do you need those?

Voice;

[tothecloud]

Er, well. [ A bit awkwardly. ] I think those're the only kinda bullets my sniper rifle will take, and uh. I. Left my grenade launcher and pulse rifle at home?

[littlebratziska]

What?

[tothecloud]

Huh? Wait-- what did I say?

[owwmyspine]

Indestructible bullets? What the heck back home needs shooting that requires that?

[tothecloud]

Uh-- Skrulls. And. Other really big, scary bad guys?

[owwmyspine]

Kinda figured regular bullets were destructive enough...But, uh. There is that Weasel guy. He builds guns and stuff, from what I've heard.

[tothecloud]

Oh. [ A bit deflated. ] Yeah-- maybe it's. Not really all that important. I just. In case. You know?

[meowminx]

[ Ping! ]

Adamantium-jacketed bullets?

[tothecloud]

[ A hesitation. ]

Yeah?

[meowminx]

Wouldn't need ammo like that unless you wanted to make sure someone was dead.

[tothecloud]

[ Another pause, then a bit awkwardly: ]

Uh-- well. I. Don't think the rifle I came with takes any other kind of bullet.
