[Ava doesn't smile at the camera. For those that don't know her, she's a young woman with bright red hair and slightly unnatural blue eyes. She's wearing a grey shirt and seems to be sitting in a window seat as she looks at the camera, a pencil tapping idly against a pad of paper leaning against her knees.]

As some of you may or may not know, there are formerly dead reactors and power relays in the Abandoned City that are no longer dead, and there is also now a functional SkyTram line that runs from the city gates out to the waterfall.

So, I'll keep this short and sweet: I'm looking for some people that can help further this. We need to connect the reactors to existing facilities, and expand the SkyTram lines so there is easy transportation. Engineering, construction, experience with electricity and energy grids. I'm looking for anyone who's good. I don't care what your training is, just convince me I need you.

I could also use some people willing to work guard duty or man patrols while these projects are in process. The Perimeter Guard are great, but some volunteers would help ensure we're not taxing them as the project expands.

If you need encouragement, one of the facilities I'd like to see made accessible is a natural hot spring.

[She smiles, and then he mentions doing it right, and she can't help watching. It's the lightning that catches her eyes, that bolt on his chest. She takes a breath, sighs with a slight shake of her head.]

Well, fine, if you want to do this properly, I might as well play along.

[Had she been intending to skimp on this? Absolutely. She'd been intending to show off with a little electricity between her fingers, maybe a few spheres of light. Something small. But with his intention to do this for real, she decides she might as well join in. He'd said he wouldn't tell anyone, and he seems decent enough. And she's been trying to be more accepting of it, see if that makes her powers easier to deal with.

For Ava, it's less about a suit. Instead, there's just a smile and a lift of an eyebrow, and then there's the area over her heart that glows blue, roughly in the same place as Wally's lightning bolt. It crackles with electricity as her eyes glow, first at the iris, then spreading. Her fingertips turn blue, crackling with lightning that slowly climbs up her arm, her skin rippling with blue bands of energy.

If Wally's perceptive, he might notice that it's less something that she reaches for, and more something that she stops choking down. She's smiling though- she does enjoy showing off. Just a little.]

There. Fair is fair, right?

[otherflash]

[ There is a look of awe on Wally's face as he watches Ava's power display play out. The crackling of lightning and the way it surrounds her is something he is familiar with, but where he has to tap into a source to access his powers, it is almost like she is simply letting go for hers. ]

It seems we've both been touched by lightning in a way.

[ It becomes clear what he means as he taps deeper into his connection to the Speed Force, and by doing so, his own bluish-white lightning starts to flicker and crackle around him as it feels like the surrounding world is beginning to slow down to him. The lightning bolt emblem on his chest isn't just for show. ]

So, how do you want to do this? [ He awkwardly rubs the back of his head with a hand. ] I could run, but you really wouldn't be able to see anything. Or, maybe I could give you a lift somewhere?

[ Which he would do by carrying her. He did say the best way to appreciate his powers is to experience them. ]
