she had never had this conversation before, not with anyone she didn’t truly know, or completely trusted. the brunette in front of her did not seem like a threat, or like someone who would hurt her— on the contrary, she seemed genuinely interested on what had happened to her and her friends. clearing her throat, sue decided to relax, the more tense she was, the more undesired accidents would occur. “ we were test pilots on this mission, then something happened to the ship we were in— more specifically some kind of cosmic radiation ; we all got hit at the same time, each with different— well, abilities, you could say. ” she still didn’t know the right word for this. they were good, but could also be bad, depending on how you saw it. depending where you stood.
“ to answer your question— it’s more like voluntary camouflage, along with force fields … though they make me extremely tired, fatigued after using the latter, ” sue spoke, a gentle shrug after her words. she’d been using her powers for a few years now, but she learned something new about them everyday. “ brain activity lights up like a christmas tree, ” she chuckled. “ lunch? oh— well, yeah, that’d be really nice, it’s nice to meet you— i’m susan, everyone calls me sue, i like sue better, ” the blonde pressed her lips together in a shy, yet grateful smile. “ so, lena, you seem to understand a great deal of science. ”
cosmic radiation. her knowledge on astrophysics & the like are limited to the textbooks she’s read during the night, & even then, those books were neglected for sci-fi movies & her work. lena mentally promises to read more on the topic, to understand how cosmic radiation could affect the human body. there’s no advantage for her learning about it, par knowledge. she knows better than to recreate sue’s camouflage capabilities, not when every move she makes is compared to her brother & considered villainous, not when camouflage inventions can only be used in military & nefarious purposes.
“ physical and/or mental fatigue ? ” lena notes the information, her mind racing with question after question, though she keeps her mouth shut. later. her manners may have been lacking due to her excitement but she now has a grasp of it. offer food, offer company, then ask everything else. “ great ! i know this new italian restaurant a few blocks down. if you’d prefer to try that ? ” red lips form a softer smile & a similar red slowly forming on her fair cheeks as she brushes off her comment, “ i dabble from time to time... i’m sure it’s nothing compared to your work. test piloting a space craft... that’s... wow... ”
