Chapter 2-3

The boardwalk was honestly less busy than one would think. Especially from reading the source material.

"I wonder if Parian actually has a shop?" Georgia asks herself.

"God I hate clothes shopping. Maybe if I trick myself into believing I'm searching for Parian I might be able to put up with it." Georgia says looking at all the shops.

"Eenie meenie miney this one," Georgia says walking into a random shop.

"Hello, how may I help you?" A person says almost immediately upon walking in.

Georgia stares at the young college-age woman who matches the description of the cape out of costume to the T.

"Give me a second to process my luck and I'll get back to you," Georgia says

"What?"

"Right! So I have an issue. I am a brute… that sounded wrong. I am a parahuman with super strength, the clothes I have now are the only ones that don't rip and tear when I move. Would you be able to help me?" Georgia asks

However halfway through her declaration, the sign was already flipped to close and several pieces of cloth and string were beginning to float in the air.

"How did you find me?" Sabah asks

"Luck? Literally pure luck. If it wasn't for the fact I'm at least partially related to Enterprise I wouldn't believe it myself." Georgia says

The state down Georgia is getting would wither away at her if she wasn't made of steel.

"Here allow me to demonstrate. Siri flip a coin," Georgia says

"Okay flipping a coin," Siri responds

"Side." Georgia states

"So, you're not going to believe this but it landed on its side." Siri responds

Sabah is now even more confused.

"Who is Siri?" Sabah asks

"Oh, it's a virtual assistant on a phone from earth Alph," Georgia says

"You're from earth Alph?" Sabah asks

"Nope I'm not," Georgia says

Sabah goes back to staring at the girl in front of her.

"You're trying to confuse me."

"Maybe? I mean putting people off-center makes negotiations easier," Georgia admits

"Why are you here?"

"To shop for clothes?" Georgia asks

"... wait you are saying because of your power all of your clothes must be specially made?" Sabah asks

"Yes, thats why I was hoping to find you," Georgia says with a smile

"It's gonna cost money," Sabah says

"I have enough of that. So could we maybe use kevlar I am hoping it would be strong enough," Georgia says

"How bad could it be?" Sabah asks

Georgia giggles " Have you ever accidentally crushed a doorknob?"

"I'm guessing clothes aren't much better?" Sabah asks

Georgia makes a so-so gesture.

"Fine, I'll help. What's your power anyways?" Sabah asks

"You heard of that new hero who made the ship graveyard go poof? That's me," Georgia says smiling

"That, well thank you for that. Believe it or not my property's value went up when those ships disappeared," Sabah says

"Hey!"

'I just need to eat nuclear material now to get a sample is what your saying? And just where am I supposed to get uranium?' Georgia asks her crew.

"You there miss?" Sabah asks

"Oh right, I'm Georgia." Georgia says introducing herself

"Sabah,"

"Come out Parian! I know you're in there!" Is shouted from outside.

"Is that hook wolf?" Sabah asks

"I'll take care of it." Georgia says walking over to the door.

Sabah watches in stunned silence as Georgia walks over to the door and opens it. "geh homw du nasser Hund!" Is shouted which confuses her even more.

"I don't speak German!" Is suddenly shouted back from outside.

"Have one of your Lakeys tell you then!" Georgia shouts closing the door.

"You're German?" Sabah asks almost glaring.

"Hey, my great grandparents didn't flee their birth country when those freaks took over just so you could glare at me." Georgia says

"You're Jewish?" Sabah asks

"Maybe? We aren't entirely sure? How that happened we don't know either, however all those who could answer the question are kinda dead. Searching for the old family name comes up as German-Jewish. Yet somehow that makes it more confusing," Georgia says

"Huh, well that's certainly odd. How is it more confusing?" Sabah says

Georgia hits her head against the wall putting a small hole in it.

"Sorry, about that. So more confusing? Looking at the historical record there is no proof of them immigrating. Rather it's more likely that my family has been in the country since the civil war at the very least. Yet grandma they seemed pretty serious about the time frame in which the family moved here," Georgia says

'Considering I am no longer who I used to be youve got no clue,' Georgia thinks

"That's, yeah. I can see why it's confusing." Sabah says

"So clothes?" Georgia asks

Suddenly the shop's door bursts open.

"I said get out here!" Hookwolf shouts looking around the shop.

"Really Brad? I mean when they talked about your level of intelligence I thought they were low balling it. I guess they weren't," Georgia says aloud facepalming.

"Who the fuck are you!" Hookwolf shouts

Georgia gasps "Me?" Her hand is over her chest in shock.

"Yeah! Who are you!"

"Fine then mister grand wizard. I am a 60thousand ton and change battleship who's sole purpose was to protect the United States. I am a symbol of this country's naval dominance. I was built to sink the ships of the Kriegs Marine and the Empire of Japan. Who am I? I'll tell you you half witted fake nazi! I am your worst nightmare!" Georgia shouts

"That doesn't make any sense?" Sabah mutters

Suddenly there is a glow behind Georgia as her rigging appears.

"What the fuck! You're a cape!" Hookwolf shouts

"Try not to die okay? I'm gonna go a little easy so you shouldn't be turned into bloody mist." Georgia says with a cute smile.

Hookwolf transforms in a panic seeing the Naval guns pointed his way.

That's when a single 40mm opened fire letting out one round.

After the ringing stopped in the shop. Sabah looked at Hookwolf and noticed a steel leg was bleeding red blood.

"Wow, you got lucky it overpenned. Give me a second let me try my five inchers." Georgia says with a smile that must've been faked.

Hookwolf went back to human form and ran. Limping horribly as he made decent speed.

"You made him bleed," Sabah says

"I don't think he finished his transformation, then again at this range. It's a roll of the dice if a 40mm could pen 3inches of steel or not. At an angle like that, it could've ricocheted. Luckily I like to cheat," Georgia says

"Cheat?" Sabah asks

Georgia walks over and pulls the really hot projectile out of the ground. Before rolling it around in her hand.

"It's armor penetrating. Tungsten carbide meant to take out tanks and damage warships." Georgia says

"Is it nato approved?" Sabah asks as a joke

Georgia laughs a little. "Nope!"
