Nyx has posed:
Samantha is spending the end of her first day sprung from S.H.I.E.L.D. GITMO at the mall across from the Bridge to HQ. She hasn't had enough time to go up to her parents house and box any of her stuff but she figures she will end up doing that at some point this weekend so why not escape now that she isn't on the clock and do something more normal.

By more normal oshe has a Starkbucks in one hnad and a Wetzel's pretzel in the other as she walks through the mall. This may be her second pretzel to be honest. Also it isn't like she got a paycheck yet, so no this isn't a shopping spree.

Sam is wearing a set of SHIELD fatigues, the dark blue and silver, with the black eagle symbol on her shoulders. She even has a real ID badge, though she has it tucked in her pocket on the front instead of telling ever pretzel clerk who she is.

Being this close to the Triskelion it doesn't stand out too bad, but she does look at least five years to young to be working there.

Sam's journey takes her in front of the electronics and phone store, just staring longingly at the various devices. Sure she has her new SHIELD approved phone but man these things are shiny.

Impulse has posed:
Impulse is taking a break. between the soup kitchens on Gotham, and the fixing of the houses, and the annonymous hospital donations for needy families, Bart hasn't done a lot of looking around.. Earlier today he spotted the Westfield Mall so with his last 'chore' for the day done, the teenager comes zipping into the mall, running to and fro. It's when the smell of the pretzel in Nyx's hand catches his attention that he comes to a complete stop. "That, smells Ahhmazing.. Where did you get it?" he asks curiously

Nyx has posed:
Samantha tilts her head a bit to the side when Impulse starts zipping to and fro in the mall. Honestly she isn't entirely sure why either, she only half understands the sensor suite in play with Nyx.

When Impulse zips by her though she actually glances after him and by the time he comes back at super speed and stops she is watching him. "Holy crap!" is her reaction, though she doesn't drop her pretzel or starbucks.

"I thought I was imaginging things.. but ... actually.." she pauses and looks him over. "You are real right, you're not the Flash. No you must be real you are giving off a lot of energy." the young woman blinks a couple of times. "My pretzel... you .. oh... over there." she gestures down towards the pretzel shop now. "They are good."

Impulse has posed:
Impulse nods. "Tangentally related!" he says before he vanishes in a flash of blood red and bronze gold lightning. "Pardon me, scuse me, these are awesome don't mind me, just helping out." he says as he zips in and actually helps himself to the pretzels, one regular, one cheese covered, one cinnamon and sugar coated, and a final one that looks to be wrapped in bacon. At the same time the cash register starts beeping and booping ringing up and cashing out the speedsters order without anyone touching the register. With that done, he returns back to the girl who pointed them out to him. "Pretzels? Never had them before, they look tasty.." he says excitedly holding one up and starting to eat it at a superhuman pace...

Nyx has posed:
Samantha definitely is watching Impulse, she watches him zip, tracking him. Brow furrowed. Then she watches him zip back with his hands full of pretzels. That may be a bit unusual really.

"Wait... what.." she takes a bite of her pretzel at normal speeds. "You've never had a pretzel before.. that... is some sort of crime. The ones in the Salt and Cheese and Salt are my favorite really." she takes another bite of her cheese pretzel then sips her coffee.

"Huh.. I really didn't get out enough before... a speedster related to Flash. I should keep a checklist like a game..."

Impulse has posed:
Impulse finishes the bacon wrapped one.. "They don't exist where I come from.. Pretzels, pork, Big belly Burger.. Beef really.." he starts ticking things off with is free hand.. "There's so much GREAT food in this era. Like ohh my god, have you /had/ chocolate before? or butter? I could just eat a butter by the stick, but granpa won't let me." he says with a bit of a frown and pout. "I'm Zippy by the way! What's your name?" he asks in introduction holding out his hand in greeting.

Nyx has posed:
Samantha blinks a couple of times at all of that about food and his era and all of that. "Uh.. well... " she just oggles for a moment trying to process it all. "I've worked at most of those places... I mean yeah it is good but if you have it .. like that much." she sort of grestures at his pretzel collection. "You'll eventually get sick.. also no dude.. that much butter is .. man.. your grandpa is likely right." fading from confusion to amusement.

At the offered handshake she sticks her own hand out into his to shake. "Samantha."

The contact, well there isn't a spark but there is a recognition and a whole sequence of protocol checks there as her technopathy, or rather Nyx's, kicks in. It isn't your suit though no, it is you, and there is another A.I. present so Nyx recoils back in and security ramps.

None of that was terrestrial from the Samantha side, the technology is lightyears beyond current human technology.

Sam pulls her hand back startled. "Woah what."

Impulse has posed:
Impulse's eyes glaze over for about a quarter of a second before he tilts his head.. "Neat! I didn't think anyone else would have tech like mine in this era. And yeah, that's what Grandpa says, but I just tell him I'm a flash.. I can't /get/ fat, or bad colesterol.. just high blood pressure." he explains eating the cheese covered pretzel next just as quickly as the first the teenager zipping around Nyx "So, where you from? Is the tech Colu? Dominator?... wait.. you're not a badguy right? You seem really neat, but if you're a badguy I'd have tofight you and all, and after you showed me pretzels I'd be really sad about that." he says reaching out to try and poke her shoulder "Gideon says you shouldn't exist, are you from the future too?" he asks pelting the poor girl with question after question. "Ohh wow.. regenerative nanites.. mine can only make clothing and tools. Mom and Dad didn't think I'd need regnerative properties in /my/ NanoMesh, The Speed Force takes care of most of that.." he adds conspiritorially..

Nyx has posed:
Samantha is staring at him like he is mildly freaking her out. Not majorly but definitely a bit as he pivots from technology to colesterol. "Uh."

Then he starts zipping and yeah, she is definitely tracking his movements based on her own eye movements. "No. No. What no." which may or may not be true, but does give away that she, or rather Nyx, know what a Dominator and a Colu is.

She also gets poked, though she tried to lean away, just too slow. "I.. uh.. yeah. It's protecting us." then she just blinks "Who the heck is Gideon... and uh.. I'm not from the future, I'm from the Bronx." though for all Samantha knows Nyx may be. "You're from the future??"

Impulse has posed:
on Impulses right pectoral his suit shifts and morphs, a small metallic 'port' appearing that suddenly has a holograpic display of a feminine robotic face. "Thirty first century!" he says with a smile coming back to a stop. "That's Gideon, she's the AI, and Thank goodness it's not Colu Tech, She'ed be gushing all week about it!" he says in amused tones, the Robotic face turning to look at Impulse before turning back to Nyx.

"As... Zippy.." she says giving pause when giving the codename. "Just stated, I am an artificial intelligent construct the operating system if you will of the NanoMesh computer system bonded to.." again that pause "Zippy's body."

Impulse has moved on to the plain pretzel eating it as well.. three in less than three minutes.. where /is/ the boy putting the food.. "

Nyx has posed:
Okay that has Samantha watching very closely as the holographic display appears. "Huhm.." she notes softly as she soaks that in. "There is a Coluean Nano-A.I. in town though.. she tazed me like an asshole." true facts.

"Why does a Flash need a NanoMesh computer system?" that part still has Samantha and Nyx puzzled really. "Also.. that is a really cool holodisplay. That makes my phone look like junk.... man I need a better phone than this SHIELD issued one but I don't want to piss them off having just got cleared to have any phone."

Samantha leans close peering at the display. "Does everyone in the future have nanomesh computers?" and Samantha ponders if Nyx is from the future instead of space.

Impulse has posed:
Well yeah.. everyone around here has their smart phones, and their tablets and their laptops, and their bluetooth whatzits... in the future, unless you're a luddite for some reason, everyone gets a NanoMesh. Mine's a lot more advanced and customized than others. Usually you just use LexCorp OS, but Gideion's a bit of a family heirloom and has been with me since I was but a wee kipper." he explains with a grin.. "Why don't you use your NanoMesh? Why have a phone at all? Gideon says it's a lot more powerful than what you can get at a place like over there." he says pointing behind him at the store, the word SHIELD doesn't seem to get any sort of reaction out of him though..

Nyx has posed:
Samantha slow blinks and then cocks her head not looking at Bart. She tilts her head this way and then a bit that way. Yeah is it like she is having a silent conversation with herself and doesn't know she should be acting chill about it. "What the hell...."

Of course what she has is not .. quite NanoMesh, it is a lot more than that. Still. For gods sake.

"I .. um.. Okay woah hold on Nyx." she flails her hands, still full of coffee and half a pretzel.

Sam takes a deep breath. "Okay umm... no... I should probably not do that. The whole reason SHIELD put me in isolation was because we were hacking into every network with a port around us and they were scared of that. Also if .. we uh.. piggyback on the cellular networks for phone and internet... shouldn't we be paying someone for that and using an actual account?" she clearly hasn't thought of just using the networkID and SIM from her phone for that.

Impulse has posed:
Impulse shrugs.. "Use the phone number and sim card in your current phone! I had to go backwards when I went and did things.. Had Gideon hack into the cellphone system and create an account, and then create a fake Sim card for her to use, and then get a phone number. But no worries! I then went and got money and made a bank account, and had Gideion hack back in and put the money where it needed to go! So I've got a legit cellphone account, paid in full and everything!" he explains "So.. What's Shield?" he asks curiously his own eyes glazing over again for a brief moment. "ohh! So you're like a super spy, like Jane Bond or something? Is your NanoMesh part of you being a spy? Do you have a gun? Does it shoot normal bullets or is it an energy blaster like what Bond had in Enough is Enough?" he asks once more zipping around the woman and looking her over.

Nyx has posed:
Well on the surface Sam looks just like a normal teenager, probably about eighteen, a little harried at the moment like she may need an adult at this rate. Of course she is anything but ordinary.

"No they didn't give me Nux and I'm not a super spy. I'm pretty sure I will never be a super spy. I'm a trainee though as of this morning. today is my first day.. was my first day. This is my celebratory pretzel." she profers it up.

"They do have a lot of guns but no, I don't even know how to shoot one really. I also don't really need one. Actually .. I'm not even sure what I am allowed to talk about..."

Impulse has posed:
Impulse comes back to stop and nods.. "Got ya... Salt and cheese and salt right?" he says not waiting for an answer, as once more the pretzel shop is accosted and he returns with another pretzel in his gloved hand holding it out to the girl. "Have another! Congrats on the new job! I'm sure you'll be a super spy in no time!" he says with a grin. So Nyx is the name of your NanoMesh OS?" he asks curiously the final pretzel cinamon, sugar, and butter vanishing in the thresher of a maw that is Impulses mouth at super speed..

Nyx has posed:
While Impulse is gone Sam watches him accost the Pretzel shop, eating some more of her pretzel and sipping some coffee. Trying to use the time alone to gather her thoughts really.

When he returns she accepts the pretzel adding it to the one already mostly gone in her hand. "Thanks!" and well Sam means it, that wasn ice of him. "Nyx is their name yeah, I don't really know if they are a NanoMesh OS though. I mean they seem to definitely be their own person." a light shrug. "The thought is they are an alien intelligence I guess, but maybe they are from the 32nd century or something." and yeah Sam isn't really sure evidently. "Also .. definitely not going to be a Spy but it beats being on the run from the Justice League and Avengers as a danger to people. Tony Stark turned me over to SHIELD."

Impulse has posed:
Impulse shrugs.. "Why not be a spy? What's Shield gonna use you for otherwise? ARe you the Tertiary adjuct for the secondary mail room? your job is to make sure every stapler has on average twenty three and a fourth staples, and all desks are supplied with twenty eight weight fourty precent recycled printer paper?" he asks tilting his head a bit at the ludicrous ness of what he's saying. "If you're not gonna be a spy and a superhero, Why work for Shield? Why Do what you're doing?" he explains..

Nyx has posed:
There is another of those slow blinks and well Sam is adjusting fast. She just blinks, eats her pretzel, and waits for a good time to break in with answers. The nice thing is she seems to be able to retain all his questions so she can string out all her answers.

"No I am pretty sure they don't want me to be a mailroom clerk. I'm pretty sure a good chunk of SHIELD wants to figure out how Nyx's technology works. The other part wants me to be around to blow up bad people." there is a shrug from Sam and another bite of pretzel, though she forges on while chewing.

"I never said I didn't want to be a super hero... I'm pretty sure I can work for SHIELD and be a superhero with what I seem to be able to do. Also you make it sound like the employment was an option.. I mean I guess it was but the alternatives are scary Zippy."

Impulse has posed:
Impulse frowns.. "So, shield would force you to work for them, or stick you in a lab and poke and prod you to find out what makes you tick?" he asks his forhead furrowing the Holographic port on his suit vanishing along with gideons face. "That's not very nice, My parents and auntie had to deal with some people like that before.." he says glancing in the direction of The Triskelon. "Well! It was nice meeting you! but I just remembered something /very/ important that I need to do!" he says in a very unconvincing manner..

Nyx has posed:
Samantha shrugs "The pay isn't bad and it has to beat working at Big Belly Burger." she notes optimistically. "Also the people seem nice.. but I get the concern. Nyx is a little scary." to be fair, she hasn't talked about what she can do other than being a super hero.

"Oh.. um.. sure." a smile from the teen. "Nice meeting you Zippy and thanks for the pretzel."

Impulse has posed:
Impulse nods. "Nice meeting you!" he says reaching out ant tapping Samantha's shoulder, a phone number appearing in Nyx's brain. "My number if you need help with anything!" he says before he's gone with a crack of thunder and a spark of crimson and gold..

Nyx has posed:
"Thanks." oh wait he is totally gone. Samantha looks around slowly and takes another bite, finishing her first pretzel and looks at her second one.

With a shrug she heads off to do some more window shopping thinking about her first pay check. "I wonder if all speedsters are odd."

Nyx meanwhile is wondering what to do to alter the timeline to prevent everyone in the 31st century from having A.I. NanoWeaves.
