[i]"say Lady, I dont know who you are, I think you have been watching tomany sci-fic's, the guy was electrified and do cyborgs really exist, besides, if the humans have DNA scanners that are small enough to be placed in a real live robo-cop, why are they not using it to hunt us down just like that, a small DNA scanner like that should find the X-gene"[/i]

Dr Douglas' ground her teeth together, in an attempt to keep calm.

"First of all, it's [i]Doctor[/i], not [i]Lady[/i] and secondly, I'd like to inform you that I am a physics professor with a university to degree of the highest calibre - I know exactly what is and isn't within the realms of today's scientific technology. Robotic technology is fast advancing and any old CSI forensic scientist could identify you from a lock of hair, or stray fingerprint on a drain pipe - all that man would need to do is collect it and examine it later, as I'm guessing that a man sized robot wouldn't have room for anything beyond human actions - probably not room for a DNA scanner; again, I'm not even sure whether he was a robot. But he was powered by electricity - trust me."

[i]"But I do agree with the personal safety stuff, just think your looking bit to far for why, non the less, I am in, Just call me Silver Ryu, or Silver or Ryu, what ever you like, when I am powered on, figured if people go out having powers and doing stuff, we need code names right?"[/i]

"Glad you do have a sliver of self preservation. Codenames?" Dr Douglas raised an incredulous eyebrow and swallowed the sarcastic remark she'd been about to say and just regarded him, blankly "Whatever keeps you happy - I'll leave that to you."

After marching around the town square - keeping healthy distance from where the cops were swarming, examining the aftermath of the explosion for victims - Dr Douglas found her way to her car, by use of the street lamps. It was well and truly dark, now. She approached her car and automatically dug around in her pockets for her keys. It took a couple of seconds for her to remember that the whole event had been caused as a result of her leaving her keys at the office and she sighed, vaguely annoyed. Fine - she was just going to have to resort to her magic tricks.

As discretely as she could, she closed her eyes and allowed her electrical sense to enter to front of her mind, feeling the buzz of adrenaline that usually accompanied it. She placed her hand on the car door and felt the hum of electricity coarse through her, as it animated the locking system and clicked it open. She withdrew hastily, opening her eyes only when she was certain they had returned to their usual hazel colour. She cracked the door open and slid in the driver's seat, reaching across to the glove compartment and retrieving a spare set of shades. Since she had no keys, she was going to have to power this baby the old fashioned way - using herself. 

She allowed herself a glance across the square to see if anyone else was coming. 

To those that were, she glanced down at her watch with obvious impatience. She wasn't used to working in a team - lecturing at the university was usually a solo mission and having to both be efficient and relatively friendly was something she found tricky. 

"Hurry up," she said, trying to prevent her voice from hitting a shout. She didn't want to grab anyone else's attention.
