So, uh. I was kinda wondering. Me and the others who went down to fight Harrow on Braal, we were all close-range types. And Harrow had super strength. That would have blowed if we'd slipped up and gotten hit. Man, Videl was even throwing things at him.
So, uh. Considering that not all of us don't have ranged powers, like flamethrowers or energy blasts or whatever, shouldn't we have, like. I don't know. Blasters or phasers or something? Just in case closing the gap turns out to be a really bad idea?
[The idea that such a decision made earlier would've meant that Parker had her hands on a ray gun doesn't seem to have occurred to him.]
I'm sorry if this has already come up or something, but I just thought of it and... Yeah.
[Maybe he should've just pulled one of the Legionnaires aside and asked privately rather than blare what's likely a stupid question all over the omnicomms. Unfortunately, he only realizes that after he's said everything over a live channel. Fortunately, it's audio-only, so his wince and blush don't get caught by a camera.]

[That means that yes, you too could have learned how to use beam spam.]

Do you fire energy blasts? That'd be pretty cool.
no subject
[He's experimented a bit with what he can do now, so he knows his ability to fire energy blasts is one he's kept. Possibly the only one. He can't fly without the ring he's been given.]
That seems to be all I can do now.

Weren't you just saying that we were gonna go to nerd hell? And now you want a phaser?

And believe it or not, shooting at things is a skill I already have!

Sheesh. Make up your friggin' minds.
Anyway. I'm good at making stuff, I just need parts and time. How blasty of blasters are we talking?

[ When did Rocket get here. He didn't hear any gunshots or explosions so surely it can't have been that long. ]
no subject
Yeah, I'm Rocket, but I'm probably not the one you know, at least based on what I heard from Rich. Your voice isn't ringing any bells, anyway.

[ Feels like bad strategy, to him. He's not a genius, but chess club is helping! ]

Videl's got enhanced reflexes and... Something else. I forget. And Parker turns people's powers off. Me, I amplify people's powers or their regular physical abilities. No ranged stuff on any of us. They probably needed everyone with blasty powers up against the Surfer and Stardust, just in case.
[No sense in repeating the Surfer's trick with Rich if they could help it.]

There's a wide range of stun weaponry available for law enforcement use, and those of us who are technologically inclined can also make you custom weapons.
no subject
Why isn't it a standard thing, though? For people with non-offensive powers, I mean. Just choice?

On the other hand, what if it turned out that Harrow was super tough on top of being super strong? Or we go up against another enemy like the ink dudes, where bright bursts of light are really their only weakness and they could possess people?
[Wait, was she around for that? Doesn't matter, point stands.]
I'm not saying we all pack shotguns and jump straight to shooting people up the first time we see them. But if we get into a situation where we don't have a ranged attacker on the team and it's too cramped to get everyone into close quarters or we're seriously outnumbered and need to stun a few people before we're overwhelmed, it'd be good to have the option at the least.
[The idea that they might program their weapons to only respond to people wearing flight rings hasn't occurred to him.]
