1st Flight [Video]

[tookthename]

Seriously? Pokémon? I’m taken in my sleep to some alternate dimension and the big bad behind it can’t come up with anything more sinister than Pokémon?
[Carol isn’t pleased or impressed by your kidnapping of her, whoever you are. There is a Taillow currently flying around in the background of the shot. Carol’s ignoring that for now.]

I’m in a generous mood today, so here’s some tips to help you next time you try to capture someone and make them believe they’re part of a video game.

One: If you put in someone pretending to be my mom, make sure she at least looks like she could be my mother. [the video shifts over quickly to Mom, who is standing in the doorway whose cheerful offer of cookies is cut off by the video moving back to Carol.] Seriously? Did she have me when she was ten?

Two: The bird’s cute [As if on cue the Taillow lands on Carol’s shoulder and chirps happily] but you can’t sway me with cute animals that I assume will battle other cute animals on command.

And finally-[Carol’s face hardens. She brings the gear very close to her face as if to heighten the effect] taking my powers doesn’t cripple me. I will find you, and I will take you down. So I suggest you give me back my powers before I get any madder.

[Yusuke likes you too, Carol, especially now that you've let it slip that you have experience in hand-to-hand combat. Yep, he's definitely gonna have to see if she'll be up for a spar one of these days. He's already successfully convinced a few people to duke it out with him, but hey, the more the merrier, right? It's not as if he's ever not jonesing for a new challenge, and since the two of them apparently have similar occupations, he suspects that a scrap with her'd be really fun. This thought, predictably enough, is enough to put a grin on his face, which stays there even as he asks her:]

Oh yeah? What were you, then, a boxer or something?

[It's a fair question, he thinks. She certainly looks fit enough to be a boxer or some other kind of professional fighter.

Anyway... "Carol", huh? She must be American. (Everyone knows that all white blonde ladies with English names are American!) Yusuke nods.]

Likewise. So, uh, is that your starter there?

[He indicates the Taillow on her shoulder with a small inclination of his head.]

I was in the military. Ran some special ops missions before I got my powers so even after I got my powers I made sure to keep up with my training. Good thing I guess seeing as the powers are gone.

[Well, you guessed right, Yuusuke. She's about as American as you can get without being either completely obnoxious or Captain America.]

Yeah, the 'gear thing said she's a Taillow I think. I guess I should name her...
