Firestar has posed:
Sometimes you need to just get away. A walk is probably her second favorite means for doing such a thing. The park isn't necessarily an unsafe place, but she keeps her eyes open anyway. A lone woman in the park can be a little too enticing for some low life. She keeps to herself for the most part, not recognizing anyone out here at the moment.

Pink Ranger has posed:
"I'll see you soon, I promise," Kimberly offers lightly to whoever was on the other end of her phoneline, a grin on her lips suggesting she was quite happy to be having the conversation. Her own path through the park was comfortable, confient enough while she strolled in her shorts, skirt and bright pink top. "Bye!"

With a boop of the hangup, she was moving along...

Firestar has posed:
While she tries to keep to her own thoughts, the sound of the other's voice draws her attention for a moment. She narrows her gaze for a second, trying to place her. Recognition flashes in her eyes and she offers the other woman a nod if she meets her gaze.

If conversation ensues she will stop, but if not she continues on her way. It is easy to say she is carrying way more weight than should be possible looking at her. A quick glance at her phone get a nod and then she slips it away into her back jeans pocket.

Pink Ranger has posed:
"Oh hey!"

Yep, conversation it seems was indeed going to start up. Kimberly herself was the friendly sort. "Climbing place girl, right?" she questions lightly while tucking her own phone away. "How are you? Sorry you had to run so soon. Would you believe Captain America actually turned up there?"

Firestar has posed:
Slowing to a stop and settling in a comfortable stance, she smiles and nods,"Climbing girl that can't tie up her hair. Hated to leave since I haven't been able to try that yet." she agrees and tussles the rebellious red hair. She smirks a little and offers a hand to shake,"Angelica Jones." she adds.

"Over all I am OK. Just running a little heavy on the thoughts tonight." she replies. The mention of Captain American makes her eyes widen a little,"Stop! Really?" she asks. Suitably bummed out for missing that,"One of my oldest friends used to do just about anything to meet him once. It is at once cute and a little sad."

Pink Ranger has posed:
"Kimberly Hart," she offers back, hand taken in a shake before she tilts her head to the side. "Oh? He -was- super nice, his friends were a little crazy, although I think I only know who one of them was." Just because she was a heroine herself, didn't mean Kimberly wasn't a little bit of a fangirl after all!

Firestar has posed:
"Pleasure." she replies. After a few shakes she withdraws her hand,"I have always heard he was really nice. Pretty chivalrous as I understand, but that's just a rumor you know?"

"I suspect in his line of work there has to be crazies on both sides of the fence, good guys and bad. I met someone recently that everyone says is irredeemably bad. I am not saying I want to go out with him or anything, but over all he's been nice enough to me. I wouldn't trust him as far as I can throw him, but overall he's been decent enough."

Pink Ranger has posed:
"Oh people are complex, that's for sure." Kimberly nods. After all, when she'd met her boyfriend he'd been brainwashed and tried to kill them. When they'd met their 'Girlfriend' they'd all been fighting atop a balance beam within 10 minutes. "People have a bit of good and bad all the time. I think 'Crazy' just tips the scale one way or the other."

"So you've met him before?"

Firestar has posed:
"If we were all the same it would be terribly dull." she concedes,"I hate to think there is too much bad in either one of us. I mean we're too pretty and friendly to be evil right?" she teases with a wink.

She shakes her head,"I haven't ever met him no. I have heard good things, but that's about it. I am one of the few women left in the world that can appreciate a man that holds the door for her and doesn't mind being treated like a lady. Too many women out there miss that part of things. If a man holds the door for you it's not because he thinks your unable, it's because he values you."

Pink Ranger has posed:
"I'd like to think so," she laughs lightly before giving a little snerk at the comment and nodding. "He does have some strangely potent 'big brother energy' in a more literal sense. Or I suppose I'm assuming so. I don't really have any siblings so..."

Kimberly shrugs, tilting her head to the side.

Firestar has posed:
The laugh from Kimberly gets a more convncing smile from Angelica. She struggles to get to know people at first, but eventually she warms up,"I don't know about the sibling thing either." She offers her fist for a bump,"Single shot children unite."

There is a strange noise and then suddenly there are six strange bipedal critters jumping around and making weird noises as they close on the two of you,"What in the world...?" Angelica murmers, eyes locked on them. Her legs loosen up a little in case of trouble.

Pink Ranger has posed:
Unfortunately for Kimberly, she very much knew that reality 'tearing' noise that announced the arrival of Rita's monsters...and the angry burbling noise of the putties. "Really?!" she demands before she lifts her hands, instinct taking over. She wasn't going to morph, she could handle this but...

"Angelica, stay back! These guys are...less than nice."

Firestar has posed:
"Clearly." she mutters as she studies the strange beings,"Maybe we should look into that better part of valor Kimberly?" She hates running, but six on two doesn't look like a lot of fun.

When Kimberly's attention is totally away from her, Angelica points her right index finger at the nearest of the critters and mutters,"What in the world are those things?" Her posture settles into one that is defensive, waiting to see if they come at her though Kimberly squares up on them.

Pink Ranger has posed:
Odds are they were headed for her, the other woman was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is why Kim would only date other supers after all, these random attacks tended to drive off potential friends.

"Sure! You go that way and I'll go this way!" she calls...but it was entirely a lie as the first of the clay ambushers rushed her and she was already moving, swift steps taking her sideways before she twisted around to carry the motion into a kick across the back of the creature's form.

Firestar has posed:
"Right." Angelica mutters. She watches as Kimberly gets settled into a fighting stance and then a short burst of microwave energy gives one of them a hot foot. The toes smoulder and Angelica looks around to see that nobody is watching. The first one, while not dead, is probably out of the game for the moment.

Mindful of her own power, Angelica puts a stop to that and works an opposite circle to Kimberly, trying to draw attention. A lot of things she'll do, leave a potential new friend in a six to one brawl is not one of them.

Pink Ranger has posed:
When morphed, Kimberly was a force to be reckoned with like any other ranger. But without, well...the cute gymnast was suprisingly well adept. Angelica might even notice the confidence and indeed the heavy impacts of the blows as she weaved, struck, twists and lashes out at the putties that might try to swarm her.

The limping one? Well, clay and intense heat didn't tend to go well over all and indeed as Kimberly saw the creature off balance and swept the weakened limb, the monster's leg shattered before he hit the ground and exploded into magical clay dust.

"Huh...wow..." she blinks as she looks at Angelica, though she doesn't have the time to ponder mutant abilities when there was still five on two.

Firestar has posed:
The cat is out of the bag and there is nothing for it. Angelica looks over the park again and when she sees Kimberly sweep one down to the ground she shrugs. Not even close to the level of marial artist or gymnast Kimberly is, Angelica does at least manage to get in the way of another, leaving 4 for Kimberly at the moment.

She wrestles for control over the creature and drives her hip into its stomach to take it off its feet. She rotates her hip to prepare to throw it,"I have our exit when you're ready. I hope you aren't afraid of heights."

Pink Ranger has posed:
Kimberly says, "Exit?" Kim repeats before a sharp cry of a 'kiah' is offered as the brunette swept a kick against one of the creatures chests to send it slamming back into a tree enough to crack bark beneath it before driving her knee into its sternum and exploding it into chunks of enchanted clay.

3 on two was looking better!

"You can fly?""

Firestar has posed:
Another draws near to them and Firestar sighs, a flash of light between her and the alien things make them take a step back. Now there is a Pink Ranger and Firestar, known to some as a memeber of Canada's Alpha FLight,"I can." she replies and gives the one nearest her a seerious hot foot, making it dance painfully.

Pink Ranger has posed:
Oh hey! Dinah had tried to convince her to apply for Alpha Flight try outs when the other woman had seen Kim's super strength and fighting ability, unaware of her ranger abilities...Kim herself was Canadian after all!

A surge of motion and she jumps, grabbing the hopping putty and leap-frogging to drive its head into the ground. Another explosion of clay and Kim actually grins. Firestar! These poor putties were in for it even more than usual. "We can't leave them behind, they'll start attacking others. Besides, we have this!"

A sharp change from her earlier words to run when she thought Firestar was just another civillian. Was she actually having fun?!

Firestar has posed:
There is a smile that matches Pink Ranger's entusiasm. She takes off from the ground enough to make things more difficult for the Puddys. Another blast, a little more intense hits her play mate center mass, knocking it back and she shakes her head when it falls apart,"You will have to tell me about these things some time."

Pink Ranger has posed:
"Angry clay monsters sent by a witch on the moon," Kimberly offers simply as the last putty has its moment of panic before that 'reality tearing' noise echoed through the air and the creature was gone, having decided on a retreat (which was likely going to end in its destruction when Rita found out) before Kimberly stood up, stretching her arm up over her head before grinning once more. "Thanks for the help! Sorry they uh...interupted your park day."

Firestar has posed:
Floating back down to the ground, Angelica takes the hand stretched up to shake as she lands,"It's the perils of the job." she admits with a smile,"Angelica. It's nice to meet you. I heard about these things a while back and a group of people that fought them. Monsters from the moon?"

Pink Ranger has posed:
"It's not the craziest thing out there," Kim nods rolling her shoulders. She didn't even seem out of breath!

"Still Kimberly," she offers in a grin at the reintroduction before looking down at herself. "But, I think I got clay dust all over me, so the next place I'm headed? A shower."

Firestar has posed:
"Well. I am already dressed for it. You want me to give you a ride before I fly home?" she offers with a smirk,"Those things do die rather messy I have to agree." That full head of wavy red hair is going to need washed as well.

Pink Ranger has posed:
An offer was an offer, Kimberly gave a shrug before dusting herself off lightly and gesturing toward Angelica. "I mean sure, who would turn down a free flight?"

Firestar has posed:
Angelica smiles behind the mask, making her easy to identify for one that has see her smile without the mask. She considers the options and then offers,"Weil, either your arm around my neck or my arms around your waist. That is the easiest ways for me to carry anyone. You are light enough I don't think I should have too much trouble carrying you. What is comfortable for you?"

Pink Ranger has posed:
"You're telling this story," Kim offers, stepping up and lifting her arms to be directed. She couldn't fly, that much was true, and teleporting was a whole lot easier to manage.

"It's not far, I did tun here after all."

Of course not too far is relative, given that one time she and Tommy had run the great wall of China for fun.

Firestar has posed:
A soft laugh and Angelica slips her hands around Kimberly's waist and then takes into the sky with her. She flies off in the direction she is indicated and it is a smooth ride, no turbulence or anything,"Sometime we should sit down, have a coffee or something and trade notes."
