Pizza delivery girl by day, not-official-Robin by night
WHO: Maps Mizoguchi & Olive Silverlock
WHERE: Maps' home away from home
WHEN: Backdated to 1/15 or 1/16
WHAT: The girls spend time together and discover Maps' new powers
WARNINGS: Besides Maps' adorkableness? Nothing too serious
While Maps had gotten used to being in a world that was completely different from her own, and also stopped trying to decide why she only had her backpack and two items on hand, she couldn't help but be curious about what kind of abilities she might have. It was like something out of a plotline she would come up with in her games, with twists at every turn!
Plus, she also needed to figure out how she was going to deliver pizzas at her new job to anyone who ordered them which included her new friends. She promised them, after all.
So, just where was Maps right now? Hanging out with Olive while seemingly lost in thought, Batarang held up in the air as she looked at it. She started school once the weekend was over, and the only reason she wasn't too concerned about it was because her BFF would be there.
"Olive, you never did tell me what kind of powers you got! Are you faster than a speeding bullet? More powerful than a locomotive? Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound? Ooh, ooh, or maybe...you can use telekinesis or mind control powers to deflect any enemy attacks and stop bad guys in their tracks, making them deactivate their own bombs and saving the day and the bank from being robbed!"
Definitely a better suggestion than not-name-dropping the Man of Steel.

"Er, no, Maps. None of that," she starts off, crossing her arms around herself. "I have fire powers."
Like back home, is the quiet implication. Now that she knows for certain that they are powers, even if she isn't totally positive how Calamity plays into it all.
"And before you ask - I don't really use them much at all, because they're dangerous."
no subject
"Aww, that's too bad. You could make s'mores at a campfire if we decided to go camping, or I could collect firewood for us and you could use your powers to make us a small fire! Don't worry; I'll make sure to put it out."
Maps started stomping her feet against the ground as she went on, almost as if she was running in place in preparation for a marathon. She did make sure to quit 'throwing' her weapon, however. "Kyle always says if you start something, make sure you finish it no matter what. Did you ever hear him sound so well-versed, Olive?"
no subject
"Kyle can be pretty eloquent when he wants to be." And he always seemed to know what to say when she needed it. Except for the one time, when she couldn't put the burden on him. Didn't know what to even do about her pain. She watches Maps in her excitable march and is grateful to have someone to lighten her mood for once.
"S'mores could be nice, but I don't have the best control of them. I have a teacher here who's helping me out. Maybe you can get one too?"
It'd be a smart idea at least. She doesn't know anything about superpowers, or how to control and train them. Maps needs an expert to help her past the discovery stages she thinks.
no subject
"That would be wonderful! Your teacher's a regular person like us, right? Maybe I could get someone who could help teach me with more than just my powers! I have an idea of how to use this, but my aim isn't the best..."
Maps pulled her arm back and instinctively swung it forward but unlike before, her motions were fluid and without warning her Batarang went flying! Thankfully, it wasn't aimed at anyone but that was enough for the girl to let out a surprised gasp.
"OMG HANG ON OLIVE, I'LL GET IT!" Olive would see Maps suddenly come to a stop before vanishing in a blur-like motion. Seconds would pass before she came right back, Batarang safely in hand as she stopped in front of the older girl with wide eyes and mouth open in awe. Or shock.
"...Olive, I have super speed!"
Maps would definitely need an expert to help her get past the discovery stages of her powers, and unbeknownst to the girls this was only the beginning!
no subject
But in the time it took her to even say those words Maps had already ran to the batarang and came back and Olive's look was one of similar awe. The excited hushed voice breaks her out of her amazement and she nods with a small smile.
"Looks like it," the girl rubs her neck as she comments. "Well good job, guess we know what you have now. Don't really know anyone who has speed powers though."
no subject
She was still pretty excited, but not too excited that Olive wouldn't be treated to another surprise in a matter of moments. Maps closed her eyes in concentration as she went on, crossing her arms at the same time.
"Wouldn't that be incredible? To be the fastest girl from Gotham Academy, able to get around in the blink of an eye? We could solve any mystery in seconds, set up traps so fast Hammerhead couldn't even catch us if he peeked outside his office and even help out the occasional Frankenstein monster if he pulled what Croc did and hid inside your bedroom wall...! Can we bring him a ham, too? Or maybe turkey...?"
Olive would literally see it happening before her eyes: Maps vanishing completely from view as she talked, the girl finishing her statement but doing so while she was invisible! Apparently, Maps concentrating to a certain degree helped utilize another power she had tucked away.
no subject
However those words never came to her, as she watched Maps fade from her sight until there was an empty space of air. It was just like her invisibility powers - the ones she gained from the power switch.
"Maps -- I think you have more than one power," she says, reaching her hand out to the empty space of air and trying to touch Maps' head to get an idea of where she was.
no subject
As Maps ponders what other abilities she has, not quite realizing she can't see anything beyond what's in front of her -including her own body- she will feel some slight pressure on her head which signifies Olive's success in actually locating where she's at despite the girl being invisible.
"Olive, someone's touching me! Can you see anyone else here besides us?"
no subject
She retracts her hands from Maps, confident where her friend is now relative to her own sight, and crosses her arms.
"Can you try making yourself reappear?"
no subject
"...Really?! I'm INVISIBLE?!! OMG OLIVE THAT'S AMAZING! It's the story of the invisible Academy student! Who knows what kind of adventures we'll experience now that I can go invisible? I can sneak into any villain's lair unopposed, but that's if they don't have guard dogs on hand or one of those special security rooms where you show up and lasers pop up on the floor and you've gotta be like a ninja to avoid them all otherwise you get caught and the alarm goes off..."
As Maps went on and on, Olive would be able to see her friend reappear before her eyes until she was completely visible from head to toe. After a few more minutes, Maps would blink a few times and hold up her hands in surprise.
"...Olive, I'm visible again! How many fingers am I holding up?"
Maps would eventually realize she should've asked this question while she was still invisible, the young girl holding up three fingers right in Olive's face.
