Pff, everyone says that, but really with a little creativity, either one can work in any situation!!!

IS it personal, for a Death Dealer? Cause no offense, Sels, but you always struck me as a pretty cold fish!

Weelllll....uh...$70 an hour? That's how much dance teachers charge for lessons...

(Seriously, how do you know that?)

I don't...know! AAAHHH!

(You should feel duly emasculated.)

Buuttt...I also accept bartering, favors, etc etc from my buds. You a bud?

Cold fish?

No sense of humor, predisposed to shooting me in the face, no sexy times, etc etc

You move in, you kill, you move on!

Unless of course it's a British vampire that mind whammies you into love! But that would be oddly verse-specific...

Shooting you in the face is fun. You always bounce back. Are you saying you think I am devoid of a sex life?

Well, you never, EVER flirt! How do you even get to the date stage?

(Well, she IS smokin' hot.)

Okay yeah, you're smokin' hot. But you still have to be in the position to find the person to ask you on a date! And you're always all about the work!

Since when does dating have anything to do with being sexually active?

I would like to be a bud. Maybe there is something I could teach you in return.

Hmmmmmm.....Maybe! Whatcha got?

So, what? You just find a handsome dude, say "Sex. Now." and bam, you get laid and fill that need?

(Dammit, why can't we be more handsome? That sounds PERFECT!)

I paint. I cook. I have the Slayer training, not that you need it.

If that's what I need or want, yes. I have had relationships though.

Set up by you or arranged?

Hmmmm....tell you what, we'll figure something out. Right now, the important thing is teaching you to use a gun OTHER than the one wielded by the Man of Steel-

(heh heh...Man of Steel..)

-cause if you get jumped by a vampire with a vendetta, or even one that just sparkles, you wouldn't be too good with a sword trying to swing it around that belly!

I do have my own unique abilities. Telepathy. Telekinesis. The voices...

Fire.

[No, it was not an option. She made it the answer anyway. She has a...fondness for fire. Being a phoenix will do that.]

For every day occasions, I carry both. But I do prefer swords. Guns just seem a little like cheating.

And that's half of why I like them so much!! HUZZAH!

Always a valid response. Always. No matter what it is, you can always suggest "Kill it with fire".

Yes, exactly! Fire is absolutely always an answer.

(Hey! She has voices too! I wonder if they also speak to her in parenthesis??? And I wonder if it is considered cheating if I have an affair with her voices while she stays married to Supes!)

Proooobably. *whips out a gun and fires on her suddenly, no warning in his thoughts at all. She doesn't know that it's paintgun pellets, in large part because his mind is so insane that it is impervious to telepathy. That ain't Gary Stuing there, it's in his wiki!*

Or this. *leaps at her with a roundhouse kick. He knows how to pull it if it comes close to landing. If she stops him with telekinesis, the jolt sends a few loosened grenades her way...pins not pulled, but they COULD have been*

Or that. See now, if you'd had a gun and some amazing skittles, you could have gunslinged-

(Is that a verb?)

It is now! You could have gunslinged me and made me dodge so that my shots went wild. You could have shot me out of the air so I would never have gotten close enough to connect or blow you up. And all without disturbing SuperJunior! Still think you're okay without a good firearm? Abilities are great, but you can't beat a good bullet to the brainpan...

[Those said voices give April an alert of his attack. And second before he fires the gun, she has a mental shield in place. So the paintgun pellet just splatters on that shield.]

[That said mental shield also stays in place for him not to come close enough with his roundhouse kick. And by the end of his display, her eyes are red. She gets his point... but still...]

You don't depend on just guns alone. I do want to learn. I never said otherwise.

Hmmmmm... Okay, that shield thing is pretty nifty. There have to be workarounds, but I'll have to get back to ya on that.

(But those eyes. She's about to go all Cyclops on our ass!)

Yeah...what'd that defense cost you, hotness? What're the side effects, for you or the kiddo? *curious, rubbing his chin*

Ah well, you made your point too. But at least you still want to learn! Now if only you could teach me that nifty shield trick...

I am a vampire Deadpool. The side effects to me is the hunger. [April touches her belly] And I don't sense any distress to the little one when I use my abilities.

[She glances back up] If you had telepathy as an ability, there is a possibility I could teach you it.
