[Yang is standing outside Maurtia Falls #006 when she turns on her communicator, and she looks so excited, with this big grin on her face, and she's practically vibrating in place. Usually she can put on a cooler air than this, but not right now. She also apparently ran outside without putting a coat on so...whoops? There are some very obvious bruises on her arms and shoulders from the tournament the day before. But she's way too worked up to care.]

Guys! Okay. So I know everybody gets a power here right? And I'm sure everybody thinks they have the coolest powers, hey, maybe you were right until now, but I'm preeeeetty sure I win.

[She spins around, turning the camera as she goes so she's only in half the frame and it's pointing at an empty spot of street.]

Check this out.

[She points, and snaps her fingers. For a few seconds, nothing happens, and people listening closely might hear her breath catch thinking she just made an idiot of herself. But then the air starts to shimmer and shift, a swirling wave of colorful light that coalesces into a rather distinctive looking motorcycle!]

It's my bike! From Remnant! I had a hunch and it worked! I can make it disappear too!

[She snaps her fingers, and the air shimmers again, but this time there's a blip like watching a broken vcr and the bike is suddenly gone. Another snap, another delay, the dancing lights, and it's back.]

Isn't this amazing?

[She makes the bike disappear and reappear a few more times, each time with that delay, but she's laughing. Yeah, she's excited. Finally she seems to realize she's being ridiculous and turns the camera completely back to herself.]

Right! So, anybody else got one? I mean, powers or bought or whatever. I'd love to see them. [Her grin turns a tiny bit feral.] Maybe have a race?

[Filtered to Rose a few minutes later]

Rose! You still up for that roadtrip? 'cause we've got a riiiiiide.

[He's on a plane and remote accessing the network through his laptop because he's just bored enough to do it. Twenty hours is a long time. He also doesn't mean to sound rude, but he probably comes across that way anyway]

Is that the only object you can summon?

[Hmph.]

Why would I want anything else when I've got my bike back?!

Do you know how your ability works?

I concentrate and then BAM motorcycle.

No calculations are involved? Such as the bike's size, weight, where you're transporting it from, or the precise location of where you're transporting it to? Is the snapping necessary?

Nope, nope, nope, nope aaaaaand nope. The snapping is for dramatic effect!

Very well then. Thank you for answering my questions. Enjoy your bike.

Thanks! But that's it?

I was only curious if your ability shared any similarities to mine. I'm not after the technical specifications of your vehicle, if that's what you're asking.

What do you do?

[There are a thousand answers to that.]

I work at StarkTech, and run one half of the biotechnological division.

That's cool, but I meant what're your powers!

[Right.]

Ah yes. Well I can teleport a wide range of objects, but it does require a fair bit of mathematics to do so.

Your power came with homework.

Well it helps that I'm something of a mathematician.

Well I'm something of a mechanic but I wouldn't be happy if I had to assemble my bike every time it appeared.

That's a fair point. I don't necessarily need to write the equations at least, simply be able to calculate them accurately. Physically writing them does help with that of course.

I find that it's well worth it, however.

I guess. What happens if you get the math wrong?

[Bristles. His math is not wrong. Though alright, he'd made mistakes with it before.]

Then I may not get the object as I'd wanted it. Perhaps only half a desk for example, or a computer missing some key parts. In the former case, that's easily fixable, but the latter may be difficult, as it's certainly more sensitive and complex equipment. Worst case, it's entirely irreparable.

As you might imagine, I try not to make a habit out of that, and mostly use it for simpler objects for best results. Even so, the applications are vast.

Hmm. But if you did it wrong on purpose you could make dangerous stuff, right?

[Sharp girl]

Yes. Not something I'm particularly keen on.

But I bet you've thought about how to do it.

Where is this going, Miss?

Nowhere? I just thought it could be cool. I mean, I don't even have the power and I'm thinking about it.

Yes, it is highly versatile.
