What do two wizards do if you are tensely awaiting meeting some important man’s enforcers. No, sadly, no. We are talking about powers. It even involves probing, but the other kind.

L: Do I really have to do those medititations? It feels stupid.
P: As far as I can tell, they help. You still need to use your abilities, which should be easier in your case. I guess the training aspects could also be improved, but I have no idea how to do that.
L: What do you mean that it should be easier in my case?
P: I have abilities that have aspects I don’t understand. For example, I have no idea what the skill books I am supposed to be able to incorporate in my designs are, nor how I would use them myself. And I need allies. You could in principle operate as a single superheroine and grow stronger.
L: I am not going to be your Robin.
P: Being number 1 really means a lot to you.
L: No. Not being number 2 means a lot to me. Do you really not mind taking orders?
P: No. Hierarchy is a necessary component of any social order. I don’t like being somebody’s tool. But as long as I am not too low on the ladder, I have no problem with that in principle.
L: It is funny that you are the fugitive then.
I hesitate
P: I don’t really mourn for it. I never felt like celebrating an order that let people that believe in horoscopes and homeopathy, who live on benefits, consider them as good as a taxpayer.
L: Do you think we are better?
P: Not necessarily better. But more. When you push your aura out, don’t you feel something more?
L: No.
P: Speaking of auras, These cars are heading for us. I count six people.
L: I agree. Let’s get out and show that we are alone.
They have a Mercedes and a VW van without windows. Two people are getting out of the Mercedes. One of them looks like a body guard. The other is harder to place.
L: We were expecting somebody prominent.
„It is better for all of us if you do not learn too much. Hence I am acting for my father. You may call me Anthony“
L: Well, then my companion is Brutus and you may call me Cleopatra.
He is grinning.
A: I need to know how hot you are.
P: The car is legal, but would link you to events you do not want to be linked to. My companion is fully legal. I am wanted.
A: Who of you does the substance come from?
P: Me.
A: I know, but precautions don’t hurt. Are you willing to tell us your name?
L: The risk is yours.
This was to my advantage. I need to learn what they can find out. I tell them my name.
A: You are wanted for desrtion and destruction of property. Also as a witness in other cases. Are you you willing to get into the van and leave your car here?
P: No. My cats can’t stay here.
A: Very well, one of my men can drive your car. You and your cats can go into the van.
P: Lisa?
L: Very well.
