Who| Parker and YOU
What| Parker crawling around in the vents and working out
Where| Around Legion World
When| post-missions
Warnings/Notes| N/A
Half the time people assume Parker is crawling around in the ventilation system, she's actually working out. It isn't that she doesn't spend a lot of time in the vents, just that it takes a lot of time and effort to stay in shape for the things she needs to be able to do for her job, and that on top of the training she's getting for being a super hero. A lot of it is pure body-weight training, which she tends to take care of in places where people won't stumble across her. When she's working out, she doesn't generally want to be interrupted by people asking how she got that strong or that flexible. Today is a training day that requires more equipment, so anyone who pokes their head into the Sim Room will find it full of moving laser grids and a blond in dark clothes ducking, spinning, bending, and rolling her way through them like someone dancing between raindrops in a storm.
Which isn't to say that Parker doesn't spend a lot of time in the vents. Legion World is a space station the size of a moon, and unlike a moon its livable area is not limited to its surface. Someone with a flight ring and a good mental map of the vents can travel between point A and point B with a great deal more efficiency than someone limiting themselves to approved areas and the lifts.
Parker isn't patrolling them, per se, but now that people have decided to curry favor by leaving things in the vents for her, she does tend to stop by the places that are easier for people who don't travel the vents to get to. Plus, sometimes she sees people doing things that look interesting from the vents, and it's a good way to keep people on their toes. They're super heroes now, they need to start remembering to keep an eye on all the ways people might enter a room. Especially everyone who's joined the Espionage Squad.

"Hi Chief," Parker says though the vent, folding her hands and resting her chin on them. She hasn't been able to sneak up on him (or past him) yet, but it took special circumstances for her to surprise her hitter back home too, and she's not sure if Chief would ever perform a country song on stage. Or whatever Chief's equivalent would be to what that had been. "Interesting reading?"
no subject
"Almost got me that time."
Okay, maybe not almost, but it's a friendly gesture. She has been getting better at it, she got closer before he noticed than the first time anyway.
no subject
"If I ever sneak up on you, I'll be able to sneak up on anybody. Or you'll have unconsciously recognized me by the little sounds and classified me as non-hostile, but I'm not sure how likely that prospect is."
They're friendly, but their respective skills and abilities tend to keep them in different roles in the super hero fights. It would take a lot of dedicated time and effort to get to that point, time and effort that could probably be used on other things.
no subject
"But here? Yes."
He doesn't showboat, but the Chief appreciates the recognition of his ability. He likes to feel sharp, sometimes he worries about if he's keeping his edge. If he can keep track of Parker moving around in a wall, it's a reassurance.
no subject
She's not sure if he's ever been asked to pretend to fight badly. Probably not, she doubts anyone would ever buy Chief as someone who didn't know his way around (or through or over) a fight.
no subject
"What century?" he asks. It's finally occurred to him that he never has asked, it's not a question most people ever have to consider in conversation.
no subject
There's a reason she's been referring to this place as the vegan spacefuture. She mostly assumes anyone here with more advanced technology than she's familiar with is from some other future. When there's a lot of time and space to be from in a thousand year gap.
no subject
It's future tech, Parker can be excused for not automatically having the chops to beat his tracker.
no subject
Parker grins. Chief, being the sort of person he is, who grew up with the people he did, probably recognizes it as the facial equivalent of 'challenge accepted'.
no subject
In response to her assertion, he just nods a cocky, hell-yeah-26th-century nod.
Go for it, Parker. Be the best sneak there ever was.
