[video] With Great Power Comes Great Irresponsibility

[ Grif is in high spirits today. He seems to actually be in one of the training rooms for once, which makes that a lot weirder. ]

Hey guys. There are a bunch of weirdos running around and it's been a while since we talked about powers. So guess what we're going to do today?

[ 'We' because he expects participation, dammit! ]

And because I'm feeling generous, I'll start. Guess who learned a new thing?

[ He points at himself with both thumbs and backs up, revealing a line of targets. He steps back, lines up his shoulder with them, and winds up his arm like a softball pitcher. He doesn't stop. Grif's arm blurs as he speeds up, and finally the force of the moving air is enough to tip over the nearest target. But only the nearest one. He stops, gestures at it with definite pride, and continues. ]

So let's talk about your powers because we already know mine are pretty awesome.

[ Of course they are, Grif. ]

Has anybody else figured out anything cool? And if you're new: I'm Grif and this is basically my job around here. Tell me what you got, because I'm still way disappointed about the lack of eye lasers we got going on on this team. I could read profiles, but who has time for that crap?

If I know you already... I don't know. Injury status report? What did you have for lunch? I'm just bored, okay?

But are there invisible baseballs? Or maybe just like a laser or a potion that makes things invisible?

[ This guy looks like he would know for some reason. ]

Super heroes need invisible stuff all the time, right?!

You'd be right but usually not baseballs. The last time aliens challenged Earth to a baseball game for the fate of the planet we were stupid enough to hand it over to the Mets, and well...

Now we just punch the aliens. Way easier to win.

[She absolutely won't get the joke but he's not giving up an opportunity to mock the Mets. Ever.]

Usually we need invisible jets, invisible spaceships, sometimes invisible uniforms for invisible people so the clothes go invisible the same time they do.

[ Yep. She doesn't even get it a little. But she's learned from her summer with Gruncle Stan to smile and nod for approval. ]

But it is possible...

[ Because now she has plans for Dipper's shoes. ]

What exactly is it you that you need to be all clearified?

[ What would be the worst to put your foot in? The baseballs were a good idea, but there's definitely got to be something better. ]

Spaghetti!

[Rich has a sibling so he immediately keens onto what she's thinking.]

Nah, if you're thinking stuff to put in your brother's shoes? Not spaghetti. Peanut butter. Invisible peanut butter. It's sticky, it's oily and hard to wash off, so it's perfect. But if you try doing it when it's not invisible, the person sees it.

Believe me, I've tried it.

[Robbie had been annoying sometimes with that smart brain of his. Occasionally.]

[ Her eyes grow wider, and you can almost see them sparkle as she imagines it. ]

You're a genius...
