[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?
((( This is a free for all mingle post! Grif will reply to everyone who responds, but if you want to have a character jump into a conversation with anybody you are absolutely welcome and, in fact, encouraged. Feel free to have characters ignore the point, talk about other things, etc etc. Threads are assumed to be public unless you mark them otherwise. This is set after the Ambush of TTHS but the Investigation is still ongoing. )))

I can follow signs, Rich!
[That's actually questionable, given that she flies everywhere, usually above skyscraper height. Fortunately, Legion World is laid out for that.]
Stay put. I'll see you in a few.
[The learning curve on a flight ring is shallow for someone who already knows how to fly, and soon Nita is zipping onto the Observation Deck.]
Rich!
[Prepare to be hit by a small blond guided missile, Nova Prime.
Apparently she's not angry enough to punt him to escape velocity...but she also doesn't realize he's lost his near-invulnerability, and that's a pretty tight hug he's getting.]

Ribs. Ribs!
[His face scrunches up in a cringe.]
No invulnerability right now, so I'm annoyingly squishable.
no subject
[Nita overcorrects and lets go entirely. It's really embarrassing when you screw up with your superstrength, okay.]
Do you still have the Nova Force at all? Are you gonna be okay?
[Nita's remembering what Robbie told her about Rich's body needing the Nova Force to sustain itself now. She hasn't really processed how long it's been for Rich, and that the Legion must have at least found a way to stabilize him, and she looks scared. There are only so many deaths even someone as strong as she is can take.]
no subject
[He knows that's what she's worrying about. He's lost the Nova Force before and one of the times he did, he actually died right there in front of his ex, Laura. It's what he'd worried about when he first got here, too.]
It doesn't matter how much I have, just that I have at least a spark of it.
[He looks at her arms, and gives her one of his pouty puppy dog faces, because said arms aren't around him.]
So you can hug me, just mind the ribs.
