[The words are barely out of her mouth before Ned starts asking questions.

All the questions.]

How do your powers work? Can you really see out of ALL those eyes? Are your teeth real metal? Where'd you pull all that stuff from earlier? Do a lot of the Omegafriends have powers like that? How do you-

[Aaaand he's got such an excited gleam in his eyes, but someone should probably stop the little nerd before he runs out of breath.]

[Oh wow those sure are a lot of words coming out of his mouth. Important words. Words directed at her. No, no, it's cool, she can work with this.]

Whoa ho, easy there shortstack! One question at a time.

["Shortstack", even though she's almost five foot nothing even with her hat on.]

[Regardless of everyone's relative heights, Ned isn't even phased by the insults. He's far too used to hearing them from the class bullies, and from his perspective it's hard to take anything an actual superhero is saying to you badly anyway. He does stop and calm down a bit though, immediately looking guilty and sinking back down into his chair as he realizes how rude he was being.]

Oh, sorry. It's just so exciting getting to talk to an actual superhero! So, um... how do you pull things out of thin air like that, Miss Peacock? Because I'm pretty sure physics doesn't work that way.

...Actually, isn't "peacock" technically the name for the male of the species?

[SHE SAID ONE QUESTION, NED.]

[It's great that he doesn't take it personally, because she insults pretty much everyone. It's part of her charm. Ned's just lucky he's not the first person to ask about the name, so he doesn't get much more than an eye roll. Also because verbally unloading onto a ten year old seems like a breach of superhero conduct.]

Hey, I didn't pick the name out myself! Lousy dorks, thinkin' they know what's what.

[AHEM HEM.]

Aaaanyhoodle. Iunno how it works, but the eggheads hooked me up with some kinda spacial link doohickey. Anything on the other end'a these bad boys, [She taps the edge of her empty eye socket here.] I can yank right through. Like so!

[Peacock reaches behind her back and pulls out an old, weathered banjo, strumming a few notes with it. Y'know, in case everybody needed a little demonstration.]

Sooooo... it's linked to a special storage place somewhere? How do you make your eye-portals appear different places?

[He hopes she doesn't say she doesn't know how that works either; this is interesting! Ned's probably the only kid in the class who isn't batting an eye at Peacock being little miss walking body horror, though. There had definitely been choruses of "eeeew!" earlier from the other kids, and a few had felt sick and had to leave when they realized that yeah, those sure were empty eye sockets.

But Ned? Nah, he pretty much deals with this level of creepy all the time from his own subconscious; it's gross but he can ignore it if he wants to.]

[Oh man that's right, some people are actually kind of weirded out by the whole "eyes on my arms" thing. Ah well.The whole display actually gets a laugh and a smile out of Peacock. If there's one upside to everything here, it's that she gets to traumatize children. Really, what else could a girl want?

Tucking the banjo back... wherever it came from, she turns back to Ned and just shrugs.]

Eh, never really bothered to ask. Word of advice kid, ya try not to ask too many questions when yer a super. Saves ya a lotta headaches.

But how do you know how to best use your powers if you don't know how they work?

[SORRY PEACOCK, YOU'RE TALKING TO A GIANT NERD. He's not gonna stop asking questions anytime soon.]

I mean, what if you were fighting a really smart bad guy, and he disabled all that stuff somehow? You wouldn't even know how to make everything work again.

So I march right up and smack 'em around 'til he turns it back on. S'called thinkin' laterally, kid.

[Is that actually what that means? Probably not.

Does she care? Nah.]

Um, I don't think that's what thinking laterally means, Miss Peacock. It's more like thinking in an indirect and unusual manner, really.

[And Ned calls her out in the most polite, matter-of-fact tone of voice possible.]

Would your arms still work, anyway?
