Little more... little more... there...

It was always a delicate balance, amping up her density. Amp too much and it didn't matter how strong she got; it took too much strength just to move. Too little and she wouldn't be strong enough for what needed doing. And Rikki Cargill had never really been one for doing things delicately. Just her luck to wind up with powers that required that kind of care.

To the shore and no further my ass! We should be kicking flatscan ass over this! Show them not to mess with us!

She let out a grunt of frustration, put her back into tossing the broken robot onto the pile with the others. At six foot three inches, that was plenty of back.

Rikki wiped her brow with the back of her hand, sweating in the hot sun. "Damn. How many of these things were there?"

	"Here's hoping it was more than they could afford, muttered a voice behind her. Gio carried an apple and an excessively weary expression. "Hi, Rikki. Hoped to come home under better circumstances." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Yo, Gio," Rikki said, as she turned around. She brightened for just a moment at the sight of her longtime friend. "How's the Grandson?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Daaaamn," she replied. "I'd have loved to see that." "What's the word? We gonna retaliate and kick righteous ass in the name of Magneto or what?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Gio snarled with frustration. "Not until we have more information. We make a real move before all the ducks are in a row, and we leave ourselves open to a Russian attack -- which they'd definitely love to bring." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rikki clenched her fist in irritation, sinking slightly into the ground as her density increased with her anger. "Dammit, Gio! Some flatscan out there's making us look like fools!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You think I don't know that? But we stick to the plan. Francisco and the Tech guys get the information. Andrew makes his calls. Everyone holds the fort until we can take down the culprits, and when Father and Magneto get back --" Because they would come back, both of them. They had to. "-- We don't have to tell them we got the country turned into a Russian protectorate in a fit of pride."

	Rikki's knuckles were turning white from how tightly she was clenching her fist. She forced herself to unclench, forced her density to return to normal. "There you go again," she snapped. "Being so aggressively reasonable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
