I'd call it about about fifty-fifty. If I were in their position I'd leave you alone, but they might panic.

[Sniper would assume competence, but power had been stable for a long while. Jovavich's backers might have fallen into complacency. Idly, they blow a strand of their own hair out of their face, unsatisfied with their own lack of accuracy. They'll have a better idea of how the big three act when everything is said and done, but that left them with too many unknowns right now.]

Killing us would be pretty difficult to pull off—Not to mention a bad idea. But it's possible you'll be put in situations that are frightening and dangerous.

[They could say the situation would be too dangerous with no qualifiers, and that would be a correct assessment, but Sniper believed in choices. Alex could make her own.

[ Alex folds her hands together, just in case they end up shaking more than necessary. It's not that it's a particularly surprising answer. She's had a gun pointed at her more than once, but it had always been done as a form of intimidation or a lazy threat. Trouble always chased after her and she is well use to that idea, but this is the first time she's ever tried to make herself be known on a radar. To ask for a fight. ]

I'm all right with that. I am.

[ Ojiro can probably guess the types of things Alex's seen just by the vague mentions of her past. ]

My power might help, but... It's very weak. And I'm not sure where to buy firearms here, although I can use one.

[ zero to a hundred real fast ]

[Zero to a hundred real fast. Sniper's not in the business of telling people what's good for them, so they just nod.]

Once you get more familiar on Petrov territory, there may be someone you can ask about it. It's doubtful anything will happen before the election. [Unless Sniper screwed up, which was unlikely.]

What is it that your power can do, exactly?

[windowsills]

[ now that’s a question. Alex still isn’t sure how to describe it without it sound like.... hysterics. Or something equally impotent. The truth of the matter is it is the most power she’s ever had— in every sense. ]

It’s a scream, that can break things. Or shatter them? [ fidgeting because even saying that with a straight face is ridiculous. ]

During our dreams, I killed a monster with it.

[deicider]

[Sniper considers this, and nods approvingly.]

That's pretty good. It suits you.

[windowsills]

Do you really think so? People have always said...

[ well, it’s probably very obvious what people say. She isn’t exactly the most assertive of people. To distract herself from that fact Alex asks the first thing that comes to her mind ]

What is you power? I don’t think I have ever seen you use it.... have I?
