[Steve is thinking the same thing as evidenced by the fact he's walking around with a container of water while he checks out the damage. He grew up in the last place anyone was growing plants so he's stuck on what to do here. He shakes his head.] I don't know what my powers are.

[hackedhistory]

Me either.

[Not that she's considering that a bad thing, mind. She's been a normal human for a lot longer than she's had super powers. But she'd rather figure it out now than have it come out at an inopportune time later.

Little does she know she's already been using it without realizing it, but that's something for her to figure out another day.]

I figure it'll show itself eventually, probably with the worst possible timing, because that's the story of my life.

[Steve smiles at that. He may as well use this chance to take a dig at himself as usual.] I ran into a glass window on my first day so I figure it can only go up from here.

[hackedhistory]

[She laughs.]

That's ... I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh at that.

[But it's quite the image.]

[valuedstrength]

No, you should laugh. I laughed at me once enough time passed for it become funny. [or the grief ebbed down. That was the day he lost Erskine.]

[hackedhistory]

[She nods.]

It's always easier to laugh at things once they're behind you.

[valuedstrength]

You can say that again. [He speaks from all the experience.]

[hackedhistory]

[She sniffles again, before shaking her head.]

I'm definitely not ready to laugh about this mess yet.

[valuedstrength]

[Steve nods in response.] That's fair. I've never liked being sick either.

[hackedhistory]

Hopefully it'll pass sooner rather than later.

[She does not want to be stuck feeling like this for longer than a few days.]
