That said, I suppose I should have clarified that Zenith is examining the damaged tanks.

Use Move Object to push away honey so she can step on the ground to look.

Corinne sits very still on the back of a giant bee like this is her normal thing, cross legged, and her arms folded across her chest. She watched, and she listened before they landed, her frown deepening, as she realized what would come next, or more accurately what was coming. Slowly she pushed herself to her feet, knowing she had to reach deeper, and would have to do the thing that she had been hoping not to, but well, she had no choice. "Well, crap." A sigh as the gleeful, ecstatic sensation burbled and started to rise, and she jumped off Super Bee, and before she hit the ground the change hit her. The energy crackling around her, before she landed in the air, and there was laugh that rose joyously out of her, as Corinne stopped being Corinne and was Zenith for now. Her hair a multicolored crown that rose up into the air, as light poured from her eyes, and her median was surrounded by a crackling halo that stark white, living energy that trailed after her as she veritably danced on air down towards the honey. "Hm, well." She reached down with her power, pushing the honey away from her, before her now bare feet touched the short grass. "Not how I thought I would be spending my day."

Oh, pop culture check for that earlier thing too: 15 Search check 17 once ah, it comes up. But matter manipulation means Corinne/Zenith has solutions

End of year for the Juilliard, and Corinne was needing some time to recuperate, and just space. And he dad asked her to 'look in on an investment,' his words, though when given the briefing it was an offworld charity, that gave the late-stage teenager pause. Though her father's note that while his help was taken, he had pissed off caretaker because he was speaking 'capitalism to an altruist.' She was a graduate of Claremont, so she sort of had an in, and her powers gave her a larger leverage to be of 'assistance', if she could keep the otherside from emerging and being an ass, or really her responding to criticism. The towering blonde looked around at her environs. Having a messenger bag on, over light flannel long sleeve, unbuttoned with a grey t-shirt underneath, a pair of dark khaki cargo pants, and heavy hiking shoes. She arrived a bit after the... time traveler? Sure. Okay. And she hopped onto the giant bee, going along because... well new experiences, broadening horizons, and maybe she could help.

Listen, he is just Larry Birding them. He is going to explain what he is going to do to them, and then do it.

Diplomacy: Being Reasonable: 10

It was then that the Bouncer's stance changed, his arms dropping, hands leaving line of sight, but he already had an open boxing stance as it was, squared off in a way that people didn't immediately assume a fight. "I mean, that is one way to do this yeah, but hey, you saw me right?" Half turning his head, and lifting an arm to pantomime his movement from the roof to the pole, and then pointing at his feet, before he looked at the talker in a way that almost beggared disbelief. "Let 'im go, man. Or, I'mma tell ya how this goes, if ya like?" He spread his hands wide and shrugged his shoulders, not fully going to speechifying yet, but he'd lay out what would happen if pushed, and then he'd do it.

APPROVED

Benny patrolled too, he know he wasn't s'posed to, but was patrolling with Hepcat before this, so it wasn't a huge a thing to him, and this felt more something he could accomplish than just normal. He landed on a roof, his fancy dress shoes skidding along the rooftop, as he shifted his weight and slid down the slop, spying the altercation forming, before he leaped forward, into a neat roll to set himself into a coiled crouch and he exploded up into the air, aiming for the nearest lamp catching himself with gloved hand and swinging about as he slid down to the ground, into his squared off fighting stance. "Hey, knock it out guys, or The Bouncer will knock you out!" Doing his best to shrug off the heavy accent. He wasn't in his normal Claremont uniform, instead in a crisp white shirt, with the sleeves rolled up neatly around his big biceps, black slacks, black vest, black and white saddle shoes, with red bowtie, black domino mask, and gloves. However, that big infectious seeming grin was there one he had shown off at the school.

Talked with Kaede about Descriptors.

Notating that changes were made to the Metamorph form due to conversation between me and Kaede.

Benny nodded his head on that thick neck as he looked at Elena, and the others, "Oh, I mean I ain't bragging, just learned to box, y'know." That smile on his face was big, broad, and friendly. He slipped the little pamphlet into the pocket of the tux. as he didn't really jump in to what they were saying. "But yeah, I'm happy ta spar, or whatever with youse guys. Just lemme know, I'm usually in the gym by like 4 AM, if I can help it." A sage nod, as he moved away from them, lifting a hand to kind of wave a good bye.

Benny had shifted his bulk to a wall and leaned against it, reading a little slim book he had pulled out of a pocket of his tuxedo, stuff for CPR certification. A frown was on his face as he thumbed through the pages. Eventually though, the noise was such it was hard to focus and he heard the magical words that summoned him, and he shuffled over to Astrid and El, closing the book and holding in his hands. "Youse gals talkin' 'bout fightin'?" It was this or let the inveterate bon vivant dilettante of Pan convince him to sing, which invariably meant Bobby Darin. An' the kids didn't look to hip to it, even as "Mack the Knife" was meandering through his head.

Benny watched everyone go do their thing, and he frowned a little, but laughing a little bit to himself. He didn't start moving until Kendra skittering away and flopping over herself, as he half expected that to happen, and didn't want to give her cookies she'd have sent sailing everywhere. Humming to himself, he picked up some cookies, keeping one for himself, as he made his way over after her lazily. Proffering the plate out to her, "Youse cookies madame." He waited for her to grab then, his expression mild, but there was humor in his eyes as he watched the shenanigans.

Benny snorted at her comment, waving to Hero when he got there, but Danica intercepted him like the bundle of happy she was, "Naw, I mean yeah, but everyone here is weird, c'mon-" And then there was the flash of blue light and Kendra was there. His ability to take things in stride was because he was the oldest teenager here, on a technicality. Or just because he was way better adapted than he ought to be. "See whaddai mean?" He laughed and gestures towards Kendra, "Hey there Kendra." That big grin on his loutish face opened it up like clouds parting for the sun. "Youse ladies, and Hero, want any food? Or somethin'" He shifted his bulk nimbly as he moved to the table, and look at the rest.

Benny was pretty much not bored, like he fidgeted, because he did things. He didn't mind people, even if he punched them in the face a lot. So he had his horse devors and drink, when El came up to him to loom before an awkward meeting. Quickly he finished chewing and gestured for her to wait. "Ya, sorry 'bout dat. Nah, ain't lonely non, ain't much ta tawk 'bout really." He rolled those broad shoulders as he laughed a little, "Don't really hang out with the others here, ya know? I go to class, do my thing, eat, bing bang boom, go ta bed." And then there was a pause as realization dawned on his face, "Ah, sorry, I don't know youse name, and I don't think we been introduced... Benjamin, but everyone calls me Benny, and youse is?" In that thick Joisey accent.

Benny watched everyone settle in, and he moved over to the drinks table getting himself a cup and sipping at it as he moved to settle against a wall. He was here because the Padre thought it was wise for him to show up to these sorts of things, and he didn't have it in him to argue. He'd rather be taking apart an old tube radio, reading, or hitting the speed bag. They were mostly nice and all, but he didn't fit in with them. He didn't really discuss his tragic backstory with them, not that he held it against them, or nuffin', it was just not a thing he discussed with them. Though he'd probably go get a burger from somewhere or patrol, maybe. He didn't get any extra leeway with... anything, compared to the rest of the school. He just was less flashy than someone with a swarm of robots, and his extracurricular activities were a lot more restrained.

It was rare, if impossible to see Benny in something that was new, or not related to mechanics, or fighting. His nervous tick of wrapping his hands during lectures helped that. Tonight, even if going stag, he decided to do different. A red tuxedo jacket, with a black vest, pants, a crisp white shirt, and a black bowtie, complete with glossy black dress shoes. He even shaved and got his hair cleaned up to complete the transition away from sloppy bruiser to... well positively sharp, or at least enough for him to feel such. He glanced over at others, realizing he never really got close to them really... but then... he did kinda have a perspective that made it weird sometimes. Still he put on that easy smile under that slightly crooked nose and he made his way towards the rest of the teens, and to the refreshments.

Benny was not a fan of that whole teleporting thing. A moment of no space, and then space, and it threw him off, like that other... Not the time! Though once he focused, he waited for something. Those previous words still ringing in his ear, or at least his mind as the other more outgoing people. After a moment he followed after Danica and Pan. "Yo. Fellas," he started, spreading his hands slowly, palmed upturned, showing a universal sign of non-threatening, indicating he had no weapons, and wasn't in a position to really do anything (That was patently a lie, as everyone on the squad knew that Benny was fast enough that he was sudden). "Youse guys made a mistake, it happens, right? Right. Ain't nuthin' that matters, ain't no-one gonna tell anyone's grandma or boss or nuffin, right?" He addressed the closest to him, keeping the Lon Cheney Jr. lookin' guy in the corner of them.
