Two things. One, I'm one of the flight officers now. Name's Clint Barton.

Second... Still looking for some materials. If anyone has an extra mattress you don't want, I'll take it off your hands. Old winter coats, scraps of clothes from home you'd like to see someone tear up? I'll take those, too.

[He is about to end the feed when he has an additional thought:]

If you see a little dark-haired kid in a suit in places he's not supposed to be, let me know. He answers to "Anthony".

[Satisfied now, Clint slings a quiver of arrows and a sleek black bow over his shoulder before shutting off the transmission.]

Did anyone else have an issue with those masks? I haven't felt right since those things showed up.

I do whenever I need to, out of paper.

[Papers suddenly fly out of the sleeves of her dress and into her hands, folding and bunching up and forming a bow with an arrow waiting to be shot.

It's totally not just your average origami trick. The arrow point is indeed sharp.]

[W H A T]

That's interesting. Where'd you learn it?

[Michelle lowers her weapon a bit and frowns in thought. Then she shrugs.]

I've always been able to do it. I'm a Paper Master, and so are my sisters.

[video]

[bring_em_down]

So you make things out of paper? I'm guessing with your mind?

[He's seen weirder things.]

[video]

[bibliophilism]

Yes, I do. And...I guess thinking of them helps. [Her bow and arrow fall apart into sheets of paper that are quickly sucked back into her sleeves.]

[video]

[bring_em_down]

Well, I can't say I'm not impressed. Obviously my own weapon's a little more conventional.

[video]

[bibliophilism]

I haven't tried shooting a more conventional bow myself, but maybe I should try it.

[video]

[bring_em_down]

If you've got a built-in weapon, you might not need it... but you might be a natural. You never know.

[video]

[bibliophilism]

I don't have a lot of paper with me, so it might be useful for when I run out of paper.

[She's hoping that doesn't happen any time soon, though.]

[video]

[bring_em_down]

Does it go away when you use it?

[video]

[bibliophilism]

No, but I can't keep using the same paper over and over, especially when it gets wet, or worn, or destroyed.]

[video]

[bring_em_down]

Is it special paper, or can you just get more?

[video]

[bibliophilism]

Not really, as long as it's paper, I can use it.

[video]

[bring_em_down]

Just need to find a supply, then.

[video]

[bibliophilism]

I do have a supply right now, but I wish there was a way to get more. Just in case.

[video]

[bring_em_down]

I guess every resource in this place is finite. So what do you use it for, hunting?

[video]

[bibliophilism]

Before I came here, I was a bodyguard, along with my sisters. I use my powers to fight, find people and things, and sometimes make clothes and other assorted items.

[video]

[bring_em_down]

[Alright, so we've got a lot of avenging archers around here...]

Paper clothes?

[video]

[bibliophilism]

Yes! They can be uncomfortable, but they will do in a pinch. And, it's easier for me to have paper ready on hand that way.

[Don't worry, she wears something underneath all the paper.]

[video]

[bring_em_down]

But then you'll use the paper, and you have a different problem entirely.

[video]

[bibliophilism]

A different -

[Oh. Ohhhhh. She laughs.]

I wear regular clothes or a leotard under the paper.

[video]

[bring_em_down]

That solves that, then.

[AMUSED.]

[video]

[bibliophilism]

That would be even more uncomfortable, you know!

[video]

[bring_em_down]

Well, yeah. You might get a paper cut.

[video]

[bibliophilism]

That's very true! Anyway, are there any targets for us to shoot in the gym? I'm sure there's a gym here...
