[There's an understandable hesitation before the camera clicks onto Rachel's tattoo'd face, bruised and tired-looking.]

So... I'm going to need a ride home from the hospital tomorrow. I'm fine, but I'd rather not subway it.

Laura, I'm sorry, we can move you in tomorrow, okay? Promise.

And whoever dropped me off, thanks. I think I owe you one.

Let's do this as simply as possible, without any unnecessary drama.

...I believe I owe you an apology.

voice;

[temporaltossed]

...you.

voice;

[twicethelight]

Yes.

I'm sincerely sorry. I can't imagine what possessed me--

I normally don't inflict violence on anyone unless they attack me first. Or unless they're extremely annoying. Repeatedly.

[temporaltossed]

So... you're saying you were affected by the gas or poison or whatever?

voice;

[twicethelight]

I can only presume that's the case. I wish I could offer some insight into what it was, but I smelled nothing out of the ordinary. It's even possible it was a psychic effect rather than a physical one.

[temporaltossed]

Doubt it was psychic, I would have noticed something like a city-wide brainwashing.

Name's Rachel, by the way.

voice;

[twicethelight]

Interesting. How would you have noticed that?

I'd like to say that it's a pleasure to meet you, Rachel, but unfortunately we've already met, and it was less than a pleasure. I'm called Snake.

[temporaltossed]

I'm psychic. Telepathic and telekinetic.

Hello, Snake.

[twicethelight]

I suppose in that case, I should be thanking you for not incapacitating me.

voice;

[temporaltossed]

I've got a thing about not beating up blind guys.

voice;

[twicethelight]

Perhaps you should reconsider. While I've no doubt your superpowers could have taken me down, I believe I've proven myself a more than adequate fighter in normal regards.

[temporaltossed]

Well, you won't hear me saying you're helpless.
