[ The video is of Raina. At work. On a Sunday evening. Lit by the glow of her computer screen, and even as the feed begins -- she's finishing off her typing. Workaholic, much?

But she does give her attention to the communicator then, offering a sweet, charming smile. ]

Hello, fellow imPorts. I just have a few questions for the community as a whole -- a curiosity, if you will.

[ Her fingers lace in front of herself on her desk. ]

How many of you are satisfied with the power set you received upon arrival? For some of us, powers are new and strange, things we have never encountered in our own world. But for others, we're used to having far more. Abilities that were lost in translation either because they were far too strong or far too destructive. Some abilities may seem relatively useless. Some may be uncontrollable. Some require more thought, practice, and skill than others. While some seem like almost something of a joke on the porter's behalf.

All of this to say, these abilities of ours don't really share a common pattern. But they have become part of our identity as a whole and something that has branded us all as imPorts. And like our identity, there may be things about them we dislike -- things we wish we could make different. So if you had the opportunity to change your powers or alter them in some way, would you? If you could enhance them and make them stronger, would you do that as well?

Please consider my questions something of a survey to measure who may or may not be interested in my next leg of research. Thank you for your time.

[ With a friendly wave, she cuts the feed. ]

That's not entirely true now, is it? What you want is control over someone that isn't Fred. You wanting me is not gonna end up with us in the sack together tonight.

You could always join Frederick and I. That invitation is still open, you know.

You two really that desperate to get some excitement into the bedroom?

Hardly. What we do is incredible in its own right. We just thought we would be kind enough to extend an invitation. Are we three not connected in some way already? Why fight destiny, Jeff?

[ Raina logic. ]

[This logic is creepy logic. She's just lucky she's so hot.]

Pretty sure sharing similar rings doesn't mean we should be sharing... rings in the bedroom. Wow, that came out wrong.

Wow, Jeff. Way to take it to the next level.

Yeah, yeah. You're the one trying to get a threesome to work. Only threesome I'll be into is me, you and Bela.

Sorry. If Frederick can't take part, neither can I.

Though funny that you bring up Bela. She may join Frederick and I at a later date. We'll let you know how it goes.

Seriously? She-- I don't even wanna know.

[Beat.]

Well, maybe tell me about the bits with you and her.

I'm not sure mere words can do justice for the union of Bela and I.

I'd be okay with video evidence.

Why not just join the fun too? Is Frederick really enough to keep you away from such an enticing offer?

Can we get back on the subject of why you want to give me new powers? [Avoiding Frederick threesomes forever.]

I thought you wrote off strength as being the lamest of the super powers you listed.

I did. And I don't want a new power set. But there's still the question of what's in it for you? Isn't it a little generous to be handing out new powers like some slightly shady fairy Godmother?

Why so suspicious of my intentions, Jeff? It's pretty rude to assume I wouldn't do these things out of the goodness of my heart.

[ lolol what heart. ]

[He doesn't bother to hide the short, sharp bark of laughter.]

Good one.

It's nothing personal, you know that. I wouldn't trust anyone handing out free powers. It's shady as hell.

Are you saying you don't trust the government then?

Accurate assumption. I mean, it's difficult to trust anyone who condones universal kidnapping and free powers for all.

But if it wasn't for our shared circumstance, you never would have gotten the honor of meeting me. How can that be a bad thing?

[ Smiles sweetly. ]

Hey, I'm not complaining. I've been upgraded from crappy college professor to TV star and lawyer with literal power as well as the other kind.

And you. Obviously. Total plus. [Such a convincing add on and totally not just tagged on after joygasming over power and powers.]

Obviously. You certainly know how to charm the ladies, Jeff.

[ Said with a fond little eyeroll. ]

I can show you just how well I charm. You just won't let me near enough.

But when the time comes, when we two entwine -- won't it be glorious for having suffered all of that sexual tension over the months?

[ Casual: ]

Frederick being there won't even matter.

[Silent long enough for careful consideration.]

Is he just gonna sit in the corner and watch? I might be able to deal with that.
