I like that answer. I would not want them either.

[coolcostumes]

yeah we both do pretty good without superpowers. i don't think it's really for me. i can help those with the powers just be better.

[white_widow]

Good. I'm glad to hear that.

Not just because sometimes the ones with powers need a lot of help in that department.

[coolcostumes]

and i really wanna fly, maybe i'll jump off a building like you do!

[white_widow]

I can teach you how to do that, if you want.

[coolcostumes]

you would do that? that would be so cool!

[white_widow]

Of course I would do that. Why would I trust someone else to teach you that? No. I've been doing it a very long time and I am veery good at it.

[coolcostumes]

i bet you are.
i'd love to learn it from you.
i promise i will listen.

[white_widow]

You will, or you will not be jumping off of anything. Safety first.
Okay. Have you ever been skydiving or anything like that?
I will need your measurements and weight to get you correctly fitted gear.

[coolcostumes]

uh i did like a bungee jump at a carnival once
no sky diving though
and i can send you those.

[white_widow]

From how high?
Do you want to do skydiving, or just base jumping?
Okay.

[coolcostumes]

it was about
it was maybe three stories? it was pretty tall for that point in time.
what do you usually do? skydiving or base jumping?

[white_widow]

Okay. Fair start.
I don't know which I do MORE often, but I like base jumping best. I have jumped off most of the tallest buildings in the world, and eventually I will complete the list.

[coolcostumes]

how do you base jump?
like i assume you have to have something to stop you from going splat.

[white_widow]

Yes, there's a special type of parachute you wear.

[coolcostumes]

okay, cool.

is it fun?

[white_widow]

I think so, yes. It's one of my favorite things.
The sense of weightlessness in free fall, the views, the adrenaline... Yes, I think it's very fun.

[coolcostumes]

do you like it better than skydiving?

[white_widow]

Yes. It's more of a challenge, skydiving is often done over a wide open space, but base jumping requires a different type of navigating. I like that.

[coolcostumes]

so, riskier?

[white_widow]

Well... it can be. It depends on the variables.

[coolcostumes]

and i'm sure when you jump, it's from the highest building or the one that's the riskiest.

[white_widow]

Well, not always. Sometimes the highest building or the riskiest building is not best for wherever I am aiming to get.

[coolcostumes]

okay that makes sense.
see i have a lot to learn
i would have just gone for the highest building for bragging rights.

[white_widow]

We can do that, once you've had enough hours of practice.
