026 VIDEO LIST TEN

[deadliestviper]

[Forget Tony Stark's recent re-introduction: what this broadcast lacks in an impeccable soundtrack, it more than provides for in terms of cool confidence. Beatrix's face is visible from a 3/4 angle, and she looks up to the communicator in her left hand. In her right is a long dark oblong, easily recognized by those who know weaponry as the grip of a Hattori Hanzo katana. Her face is cool, eyes emotionless, expression blank. She looks toward the camera and says clearly:]

Arthur King of Camelot, thanks your slur upon my honor and the honor of my esteemed Master Pai Mei, I challenge you to an amicable duel to first blood, your swordsmanship against mine. Let the ancient honor of my traditions stand against yours in a friendly match.

[Filtered to Ronald Sandoval, Narvin, Bruce Banner, and Riddick:]

Say one word about anything that happened this breach, and I will destroy you.

[Private to Bruce Wayne, Selina, Slade:]

I've got my sword back. Care to train?

Private;

That's music to my ears.

[Selina comes dressed in a t-shirt and black sweats. A catsuit really didn't seem right for this.]

Should I have brought my toys?

spam - the gym, i assume?

[deadliestviper]

[Bea is dressed similarly, wearing a boyfriend-beater and yoga pants. Dress is immaterial, though, and she raises a hand in pleased greeting.]

Only if you feel like it. Are you bringing them to Hell or wherever we're going?

Yeah!

[silvestris]

[Selina smiles, like the thought of whatever's coming is irresistible]

Of course. I want to bathe them in fire; they don't feel broken in yet.

Yeah!

[deadliestviper]

[Bea recognizes that smile. She's seen it a few times right before a fight, though most often just before the killing stroke. She thinks of Elle, briefly, and wonders precisely what Selina is anticipating.]

Have you broken them on anyone yet?

[silvestris]

Not yet, unless you count practicing on Bruce. I keep thinking the Admiral will take them away if I do...so I've been saving them for a special occasion.
