[ Those at the top of Lux Spire may notice things creeping in the shade of plants. These shadows are tiny, reaching the size of rats and no bigger, but take all shapes and formations. Small they may be, but fearless and curious: some of them might snicker and whisper amongst themselves as you pass, while others skitter away underfoot. They seem unwilling to go near the fountain.

Elsewhere, the shadows may reach the size of a cat, and are a little more aggressive. The darkness doesn't seem to be taking kindly to this new cure introduced to the city, and while not ready to launch a full scale attack, they seem to be causing a nuisance to the local citizens in retaliation. As annoyed as they are, these people don't seem too happy to see newcomers - though no one will explain why. ]

in which bruce blatantly lies

[batdweeb]

[Bruce's hand twitches, and he holds both of them up in a defensive gesture.]

Me? I don't- How are you so sure of this? I'm not exactly Mr. Freeze, Bette. Or any other kind of costumed character.

And I don't drink that much. Not enough to warrant "Count Drunkula."

[Bruce listens along to Daniel's questions and Bette's response, then points towards a nearby, innocent potted flower that has done nothing wrong.]

If you want to try again, how about that for a target?

[He triple-dog dares you, Bette.]

Re: in which bruce blatantly lies

[With a grin that basically straight up calls Bruce as a liar, Daniel bounces off his suggestion.] That's an idea, a little target practice to see how much control you have. Focus on the heat and the determination, and imagine flames shooting from your palms.

[Daniel pauses and think for a moment, he's worked with a flame user before, though this one was largely a melee specialist]...How did Ryu describe it again? I think he said it was like moving a flame from the pit of his stomach or something like that. [Daniel's in the great position of having worked with a very large number of supernaturally talented people in the past, even having helped train a few, but considering that his sort of support comes more gadgets etc, active powers aren't really his thing. Still, he's very very interested in seeing if Bette can recreate her powers in a more controlled environment.

Backing up next to Bruce, he whispers something when Bette's facing the other way (such as if she were shooting a flower with fire.)] That was an awful lie, but if you don't want to draw a spotlight to yourself, that's your business.
