[Pretend there have been News Updates on the progress of the dojo (the kids being rescued by various heroes, the place getting blown up, etc.) all day. Also: The Danny appearing on your comm is in a once-fancy, now-wrecked business suit. There's some scrapes and bruises on him, but otherwise he looks pretty good. Other than the fact that he is

[Hey look, it's Annabeth. Who is at one of the not blown up hospitals with a big bandage wrapped around her shoulder and upper arm.]

Once they let me out of here I can help you with that.

Building it, I mean.

[There's a small smile. It's also full of regret because god annabeth you are hurt he feels horrible about that.]

It's fine. It was more of an expression. I've bought a larger building in another part of Brooklyn.

[A pause. He nods at her arm.]

How bad is it?

[permavideo, filtered from the Joker]

[wisestcamper]

Oh...well, okay. It still stands, though. Building stuff is kinda what I do.

[She shrugs, then winces, then sighs.]

I've had worse. It went right through, so it's fine. Bandage, cast for two weeks, no racketball...they actually told me that.

I'm not even sure what Racketball is.

[iron_fister]

It's fine, I guess. I've been planning on expanding for awhile now.

[There's a crooked grin as he crosses his arms.]

And that's the reason I don't go to hospitals.

[wisestcamper]

I'm sure it'll be awesome.

Back home I wouldn't have to, just eat a little ambrosia and it'd heal in a day or two. Kinda stuck with them here.

Though I might go to the clinic and see if someone there can heal it faster. Whatever pills they gave me are makin' it not hurt but I doubt that'll last.

[iron_fister]

[The smile is warming up a bit.]

Come see me.

[wisestcamper]

Uh. Alright. They won't let me leave, though. Not till at least tomorrow or when they're 'sure'.

Why am I seeing you?

[iron_fister]

Because I owe you for helping with the rescue. And I can heal.

[wisestcamper]

Oh! Seriously? That would be fantastic.

[iron_fister]

I'll come see you tomorrow. I'm going to see if I can help out at the other hospital now.

[He yawns, dragging a hand down his face.]

... What did you mean before? "Building is what you do"?

[wisestcamper]

Okay. Good luck.

[She holds up her hand, after after a few seconds a nail appears between her fingers.]

I make building stuff. Out of...uh...I don't know. Air?

[iron_fister]

[He blinks, surprised.] Useful power.

[wisestcamper]

Yeah, sometimes. I can make a lot of really simple stuff, like...after the bombing in California I was helping out at the relief camp. I got very good at making boards and things like that. But more complex stuff makes me really tired. I made a chainsaw once, and then felt like I'd run a marathon.

[iron_fister]

[He starts walking in the direction of the surviving hopsital, speaking to himself:] Wonder if I can help you with that.

[He pauses, looks back at the comm.] Do you think you could make heavy equipment? If I gave you a boost in power.

[wisestcamper]

I...maybe?

I don't know. I mean, I've never really figured out what the limits were. I tried to make that Screwdriver thing the Doctor guy has once but it came out...badly.

[iron_fister]

Are you willing to try? I could pay you.
