Does it extend outward? How does she handle utilizing it?

[hands4healing]

It came out sideways from the leg. Sort of a...whip blade, I guess? It was spring loaded, and popped out when she thought she needed it. It was really well done, but I think if I'd designed it, I would've made the sword detachable.

[selfequipped]

I think detachable would be best. Less expected. Maybe extendable once removed. I use a sword sometimes, too, but to tell you the truth, I prefer to avoid it if possible.

[It hasn't had its place on the battlefield with her for a while, at any rate.]

[hands4healing]

Mmm, I agree.

I don't really know anything about fighting...I just watch my friends and see what works for them.

[selfequipped]

Yeah, I've been doing some kind of fighting for a while. It comes with the gig.

[hands4healing]

I'm...my friends don't like it if I fight.

[A very soft smile.]

[selfequipped]

Oh ...

Your friends aren't all boys, are they?

[hands4healing]

Yes? [Why does that matter?]

I used to beat them up when we were kids.

[selfequipped]

So now they want to protect you from fighting?

[hands4healing]

I...they think of me as a healer. They would rather fight for me, so I don't have to, and I can keep healing people.

[selfequipped]

That makes sense, but it's still ... a little too chauvinist for my tastes.

[hands4healing]

They have a good argument. And they don't care about anyone else fighting...Miss Riza fights, and Miss Maria. And their teacher! And Major General Armstrong.

...She's frightening. Have you met her?

[selfequipped]

I think I've seen her around, but no, not myself.

[hands4healing]

Her people are very devoted to her, but she's very harsh.

[selfequipped]

And a fighter? I think we have a few of those on the Avengers. Not so much on the devotion side, but I think I can picture what you mean.

[Black Widow is terrifying.]

[hands4healing]

...the who?

[selfequipped]

Oh, the Avengers ... they're a superhero team back home. Sorry for the context-less statement.

[hands4healing]

Oh.

[Superhero team?]

What's a superhero team do?

[selfequipped]

We save the world!

[hands4healing]

[Politely disbelieving.]

Really?

[selfequipped]

Yeah, at the rate it happens, it makes sense that we'd have a group dedicated to it.

[hands4healing]

Seriously?

[That's so wrong!]

[selfequipped]

Oh, yeah, between the alien invasions, the evil organizations, the upstart business men, and the evil time travellers ...

[hands4healing]

...and we just have to worry about war....

[selfequipped]

Hate to break it to you, but some of those bad guys are here.
