[There are days when it pays to be the most powerful Pokémon in existence. Moments like these tend to overshadow the bright spots, however. Mewtwo sighs, thankful that his telekinetic power at least blunted the SUV's impact, even if it is now very hard to get up with the vehicle resting over him.]

«Would you please remove your vehicle, Miss Foster?» [Of course he knows her name; he's the world's most powerful psychic.]

[She really isn't sure exactly what she hit, but it's not the first time. Jane bites her lip and reverses the SUV. Scrambling out a second later, while leaving it running. Jane is all apologies and concern.]

Are you okay? I didn't even see you! [The telepathy doesn't bother her, working for SHIELD is radically adjusting her sense of 'normal'.]

[At least getting up is easy-- no wait, it's not. There's soreness there, there, ooh, and especially there. He climbs back to his feet slowly, rubbing the back of his head where he can already feel the early twinges of a headache forming.]

«I have been worse. And ... I apologize. Teleport is a useful power, but I had assumed this desert would be mostly uninhabited. I fear I lowered my guard more than is usual.»

You're not wrong. I mean, normally this area is empty. [But Jane chased down anomalies for a living, something about the atmosphere here was reading unusual.]

[He's just going to lay on his side for a moment and groan sluggishly. What. The. heck. Was. That?]

«Then perhaps I have been the one to draw attention? If so, I apologize. I had not intended on gathering anyone's attention.»

I'm going to bet that you're right on the money. ...do you have strong feelings on covert government organizations? Umm- because I think the one I sort of work for is going to want to talk to you. [The other option being rival operations that might not be so cool with telepathic, teleporting entities.]

[That, my friend, was one hell of a hit from a swerving van. Courtesy of the woman that emergency breaks were invented for. Sorry about that.]

«I try to make it a habit to not speak with or associate with any clandestine government organizations, Miss Foster. SHIELD isn't the first I've ignored; they won't be the last.»

Well, I can't really blame you. I mean, they still give me the creeps half the time, and so far as I know they've kept up their end of the promise for being good guys. Plus, they pay well.

[But Jane isn't an agent, and she's not inclined to try and force anyone to do something against their will.]

[He rolled onto his back onto his belly and shook his head, it felt more like a giants punch than something humans used for transport. He turned this mug to glare back at what him him so forcefully, he was going to give this one a piece of his mind!]

Are you not going to apologise?

«I know what they would want, and it holds no interest for me. I came here for no other reason than privacy ... a place to stay away from humanity.»

Oh. [Well, how about that big elephant in the room.]
