That depends on whether you want to risk concussions or not.

[janebond]

Let's go with no.

[thephix]

Then you'll require a heavier material.

[janebond]

Cape Y/N

[thephix]

Definitely not, they're too dangerous. I don't have the resources here I would in my world, either, so it may be best to work with pre-existing garments: leather jackets, motorcycle gear, etc.

[janebond]

That just leaves a good codename.

[thephix]

Is there something wrong with Wildflower?

[janebond]

[ oh she is never letting that one go. ]

Nothing's wrong. Just Plan B.

[thephix]

I believe most names are themed around a person's powers.

[janebond]

Isn't that too obvious?

[ Nikki has never met superheroes, oops. ]

[thephix]

This is superheroes we're talking about. Subtlety isn't their strong point.

[janebond]

Point taken.

[ she's going to have to get used to superheroes. ]

How's "Guardian"? Too on the nose?

[thephix]

Again, superheroes.

I find working with common nouns to be somewhat difficult, though.

[janebond]

Maybe I need a theme first.

[thephix]

A good place to start as any, which is where powers tend to come in.

[Not that she's fishing or anything.]

[janebond]

[ Max pls B| ]

You know, you could just ask.

[thephix]

I thought subtlety would be the best approach.

[Somehow she manages to make a text sound sheepish.]

[janebond]

Most days it is.

[ Speaking of, how's that for "don't worry about it". ]

I'd rather not say over these. When we meet?

[thephix]

Of course, though you don't have to share if you'd prefer not to. There's just that saying about cats and curiosity.

[And the Sphinx is part lion.]

[janebond]

[ She doesn't, huh, but a good relationship - even a transaction - is built on trust. ]

You should probably know about this one.

[thephix]

Should I bring you coffee?

[janebond]

I'd like that. Decaf?

[thephix]

You are a strange woman, Wildflower.

[janebond]

keeps them guessing ;)

See you soon.

[Max just shakes her head at the message, but doesn't reply, because she's busy heading to a local cafe, ordering two lattes (one decaf) and a box of cupcakes, before making her way to Nikita's safe house.

The click of her high heels likely announce her arrival, but she knows as well, just to be safe.]
