Leif led her fellow Jr. Agent out of his pod and towards the Academy, hands buried deep in her jeans pockets. 

"What were you doing in there, anyways? You mentioned your shields but didn't actually give me any information."

"Oh, that!" Josh laughed.

"It's a little embarrassing, actually. Uh, so my shields are centered on my location, right? So like... when I move, they move. Sooooo I put one below me and was trying to support my weight on it. Like, so I was floating."

"For a minute. Then, uh... well, remember that thud you heard?" Josh rubbed the back of his head.

"Yeah."

"That's still epic. Really cool, man! What else can your shields do?"

"They can... block stuff?"

Praise usually made Josh feel a bit uncomfortable, not that it was something he wasn't used to. He'd just been like this his entire life. To take people up on opportunities like this felt too much like being a braggart. After a moment of thought, he figured there was a way to answer the question without going too in-depth.

"So, uh, how I THINK they work is that they move with me, but they don't have to touch me or anything. They're also pretty darn hard, so I can hit people with them sometimes. It uh, it's come in handy. Like, you were there, yeah? I took out that Ricky guy by belly-flopping him with one."

"I went to the back," she explained with a shrug. "I'd love to see your shields in action, though. Wonder what they're made out of."

"Oh. That's why I didn't see ya."

That last question gave him pause, though.

"I have... NO IDEA what they're made of. Psychic... mind beam energy? I'unno. They're green-ish, maybe they've got some of my snot in 'em." He shrugged.

She laughed lightly. "My powers green too, and I highly doubt they're made of snot."

"Bile? Ectoplasm? Shit, I'unno. What is it with powers and the color green?"

Josh doubled back. "Wait a sec, what IS your power, anyway?"

Leif laughed again and gave a shrug as they entered the cafeteria.

"I'll show you," she said, grabbing an apple and a drink.

A softly glowing green scalpel would appear between her fingers, held expertly. She began to peel the apple with it.

"... You're the Green Lantern?" Josh asked blankly, a twinge of confusion in his voice. "Or can you only make scalpels? Pretty sure one of my friends in high school watched an anime about a dude who could do that."

"Scalpels and other small bladed weapons. I like scalpels, though."

She grinned and gave a little shrug of one shoulder, cutting a piece of the apple.

"They're made of bioelectricity. The electricity my body produces, naturally."

"Superpowers are weird." Josh filled up his own tray, choosing to go for a banana instead of an apple after Leif's display. Something about bioelectricity wigged him out a tiny bit, and he wasn't in the mood for apples. Setting his tray down, he bit into the club sandwich first.

"So..." He said, covering his mouth as he chewed. Once he swallowed, he allowed himself to continue. "It's like the anime, then. Cool beans. Not really my thing, more my friend's thing so I couldn't tell you the name of it, but I swear it's a thing."

"I don't doubt it," Leif said with a chuckle, continuing to cut her apple into pieces. "I've never watched much telly. I've kept out and about more. Staying still for too long bugs me."

"Oh, that's cool!" Josh set down the sandwich, peeled and bit into his banana. Those things basically didn't have to be chewed at all so he just got right to swallowing and wiped his mouth with his wrist.

"You wouldn't know it lookin' at me, but I like sticking to the outdoors as well. The closest I come to being an indoor kid is that I've got a thing for D&D."

"D&D?" She asked before popping a piece of apple in her mouth.

"Yeah. You know, Dungeons & Dragons?" Josh cracked open his chocolate milk and took a sip. "Aaah... this stuff is good, not the cheap kind. But uh, yeah, my friends and I would play it all the time. Got me into fantasy or... whatever."

He screwed the cap back onto the bottle of chocolate milk, resting his cheek on his hand, propped up by his elbow. "I guess you think of kids who're into sports and other kids into geeky stuff, but I did both. What about you? Where'd you go to school?"

She gave a little shrug, not knowing much about the fantasy game. If she thought hard enough, she might remember something about one of her brother's plating it, but memory was not her forte. Not anymore.

"Grew up mostly in a little town," she said with a grin. "Did my schooling there. Little bitty thing where you had K through 5th on one campus, 6th through senior on another."

"Hey, that's cool! Illinois, or another state? Jus' curious, yeah?" Josh glanced down at his tray and saw a large amount of uneaten food, and so he set about remedying the issue.

"Illinois. Not too terribly far from here, actually." She gave a little shrug, half of her apple perched on the table.

"WWhat about you?"

"Me?"

Josh gulped down another swallow of milk.

"I'm from Wisconsin, don'tcha know!" he said, doing his best impression of a character from Fargo. That was Minnesota but... whatever, the stereotype still worked. "Milwaukee, if we're getting all exact. Finished up school even though I blew my cover about having a power. Lost a few friends, gained a few, kept a few. Not a big deal, I guess. Then these guys, they come to my house, badda bing badda boom, I'm working here as an agent outta graduation."

"Not... not yet," Josh said, a bit nervous having to correct somebody. "I only finished high school. I guess I should be thinking about college here shortly, but I'd have to balance that and this whole, err, tryin' out this 'Superhero' gig."
