[Olivier awakens with a start, discontent from a nightmare. She runs a hand through her hair, turning to her "husband" to wake him.

Later, she'll be in the war room, having dragged the phone in there; the door is cracked slightly.]

Yeah, you're definitely familiar.

I'm The Captain, I'm a super hero.

[wristsniper]

...A super hero. I remember you. Have you stopped being useless?

[heartstar_blues]

Still a ☠☠☠☠ I guess?

At least some things never change.

Also, I've never been useless.

[wristsniper]

If I was anything else, I wouldn't be half as effective. Deal with it.

Last I recall, you were just flopping around like a drunkard. I call that useless.

[heartstar_blues]

Yeah, we've been dealing with it for a while now.

Flopping around? The last time I flopped around was when this town ☠☠☠☠ with my powers!

Whatever, I am just telling you I am here. I don't care if I don't have to work for you.

[wristsniper]

If you're saying you're useful, prove it. What can you do?

[heartstar_blues]

I'm a ☠☠☠☠ super hero.

Right now all I have is super strength but that's not going to hold me back.

[wristsniper]

That's a start. Do you want to work with us?

[heartstar_blues]

Not really, but if you guys want help I'll tag along. Just tell me what to hit and when to hit it.

I don't really trust you to stick around all that long, no offense.

[wristsniper]

At this point, I'm in no position to decline. But know this: I will fight until we are home.

[heartstar_blues]

Good, lets hope you keep that promise.

I'll keep fighting until you all get home too, don't you worry about that one. If I find out how, I am going to ☠☠☠☠ those in charge of this town.

[wristsniper]

If we find a way to eliminate their power over us, I'm fine with letting anyone loose on them.

[heartstar_blues]

Sounds good. With my super strength I can hit it pretty hard, so if that's the key just let me know.

[wristsniper]

Really? I could always use brute force. People here seem to underestimate it.

[heartstar_blues]

I could rip one of these houses out of the ground... if the walls wouldn't just rip off first...

I got enough brute force to go around.

[wristsniper]

Good. Let's see it. You prove it, and you're in.
