That's fair. [ He might make some changes, or try to. Though his presence here, really doesn't hinge on his deal anymore. It hinges on getting people he wants - and needs - the hell off this ship. It's probably time to stop using the barge as an escape, at least, and go back to working toward fixing shit instead of... treading water. Somehow.
The rest, though....
He smiles, faintly. ]
Probably not full power at once, but I'll see what the Admiral can do about bringing it back in stages. After I read your file and figure out exactly what they are.
[She rolls her eyes; it's not really the answer she wanted, but it's better than nothing.]
Cryokinetic. We've been over this, right? All I can do now is make a couple flurries. Chill some drinks. [She gestures as she speaks, leaving tiny trails of snowflakes and ice crystals hanging in the air.] I'm not even 'Mildly Inconveniencing Frost' at this level. I should at least be able to get them to close school.
I know. I also know that one of my oldest friends is a guy who has a similar power set, and that he's fully capable of ending life on earth. I need to get a better idea of what full power looks like.
Then we'll work out a plan to get you back to it.
[ He's gained some... practical sense, over the course of working with Clark. ]
Let me actually read your file, then we'll get a plan together. Though not being able to freeze the planet solid is a good sign for getting them back sooner rather than later.
Given where we are, not wanting to might actually be more important.
[The fingergun and wink almost makes him want to laugh, but he saves himself from that at the last minute - mostly because trying to decide if Bobby is 'cute' breaks his brain. ]
[ He's blinking a lot behind his glasses - not that she can see that, but it's not a question he expected. He should have. He didn't. He's apparently gotten too used to the barge.
It does mean silence goes on a little long, though. ]
Fine with me. [She's playing it casual, but man, she is anxious about someone reading that thing. She doesn't even know what's in there.] Maybe you can even tell me what it says.

I was just hoping if I was going to have to change for something, it'd be something that's really good. Like your last one.
[A slow grin.] Speaking of ... how would you feel about cranking me back up to full power? I hear permanent wardens can do that, for their inmates.

[Finger gun, wink.]
So tell me about this friend of yours ... besides the potential to usher in a new ice age, what else can he do? Is he cute?

That's like asking me if my brother is cute.

Oh, come on. You've got --
[ A curious headtilt, and she leans in a little closer, to peer at him more carefully. ]
You can see, right? Not that it's a problem if you can't.

Yes, yes I can see.

[If she could blush, she probably would be.]
Anything else you need to know?
no subject
No. I'll read through the file and see what's there, then we can catch up again.
