[ Sam is wearing one hell of a grin as he makes sure his video is steady. He backs up, and in view behind him is a small pick-up truck with a high cap over the bed. It may have once been powder-blue, but those days are clearly well behind it.

But hey, it has tires. Honest to god tires. ]

It was hard enough findin' one that doesn't hover, but throw stick-shift in the mix and you'd think I was askin' to buy the first printing press. [ his grin widens. ] Hell, I feel like a hunter showin' off a trophy.

But bein' able to avoid public transportation? Or just go campin'? That's priceless.

She's gonna need a name though, for good luck. [ Sam levels a playfully serious look on the camera. ] Can't go drivin' a cursed truck. So, any suggestions?

[ Oh my god. ]

Men. Can't you ever settle anything nicely?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Very, very rarely. [He clears his throat.] But I do appreciate your efficiency, Power Girl. I've not been attacked since requesting your protection.

[A+ reviews from Chilton!]

private

[boobwindow]

[ He better leave a good Yelp review! ]

That's good to know. I don't want to have to carry you everywhere.

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

But you're so strong.

private

[boobwindow]

Don't get any ideas.

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

So strong and so kind.

private

[boobwindow]

But not above booting your own ass if you make this hard on me.

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

Have you seen how nice I'm being to him since your reprimand?

private

[boobwindow]

You're not getting a gold star for it, but thank you.

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

Of course, Power Girl.

In the meanwhile -- have you given much thought to the upcoming Ambassador Elections? That was something of an upheaval.

private

[boobwindow]

[ A beat. ]

I try not to get deeply involved with politics, though we could use strong leadership again.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I'm quite fond of Petyr Baelish for Maurtia Falls. Haven't decided upon De Chima, yet. May I inquire your opinion?

private

[boobwindow]

I haven't taken a good look at who the candidates are.

[ Peej... stay informed... ]

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

Ah, well. You have time.





I would recommend Baelish, of course.

private

[boobwindow]

I'll keep a close eye on it.

What do you like about Baelish? I think his only competition is a... dog. Some kind of dog.

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

He addressed the Network recently -- the man is certainly more astute at identifying why people act criminally than most. He seems to want to target the societal weaknesses before they become a problem.

Maurtia Falls lacks any consequential mental health facilities, he is at least willing to remedy that.

I'm happy to hear someone is. There aren't any other psychiatrists within the imPort community, are there?

... I don't count the Scarecrow.

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

I mean, no one should count Scarecrow. For anything.

private

[boobwindow]

Is that your expert opinion?

So, Baelish has your full support?

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

Absolutely. In both cases. I have it on good authority that he will be hosting a fundraiser at the Hotel Castile.

private

[boobwindow]

Is this your way of saying I should drop by?

[ She's not so sure she should do it as Power Girl... Karen Starr, maybe. ]

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

Yes, in fact -- I think that would be quite splendid. You do provide good company.

private

[boobwindow]

I'm not sure it would be appropriate.

[ Not that she thinks she really has any kind of influence on that level, but ... just in case. ]

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

Oh? Why not?

private

[boobwindow]

You don't think a superhero showing up to one particular candidate's fundraiser isn't some kind of unconscious — or I suppose in this case — conscious choice?
