"Uh, sure, why not?" Elsa agrees with a shrug. "But you better not try anything funny! No touchy-feely stuff like y- like people try on me sometimes, on account of I'm so gorgeous, or I'll pop you one!"

“Whaaaat?” Val looks stricken. Utterly stricken! “But we could be gorgeous together!” she exclaims, clutching her soda can dramatically to her chest. After a moment though, a little smirk makes its way onto her face and she adds, “Especially if it’s in bed.”

If it was anyone else other than Valerie, Elsa might be down for some casual nookie. But not with Vortex. No, no, no, no, a thousand times no. Brawl has shared a body and a mind with Vortex, which means he knows the 'copter well enough to know that he never ever wants to share a bed.
Elsa shudders involuntarily.
"I'll pass."

Valerie pouts, but that shudder doesn’t go unnoticed. So not the kind of relationship that included being potential bedding partners. The earlier slip suggested that Elsa knew her to be touchy-feely which was also quite curious. Valerie has never been touchy feely with anyone in her life.
She could have just misheard. And maybe Elsa was straight. But if there was one thing Val had learned in her life, it was the ability to read people and she wasn’t about to stop trusting her instincts here.
“Well, whatever,” she grins, tilting her head thoughtfully. “Just movie then?”

"Fine, just the movie," Elsa agrees, finishing her sandwich and giving Valerie a sidelong look. She'll have to keep an eye on her, to make sure she doesn't . . . do . . . stuff.

Elsa, if Valerie is anything like Vortex, she’s either going to do it or you’re going to punch her in the face when she does. Which is to say, Valerie is a lot like Vortex, but she is also very, very different from him.
“Since you’re a wanted crim, I guess we’d better stick t’ onboard entertainment,” she glances around and shrugs. “Eh, a sleepover here can’t hurt. If Octopus doesn’t need me later in the evenin’ we’ll meet in the lounge, I guess.”

"Where else were you gonna go? Don't you live here?" Elsa asks, incredulously. The idea of leaving never really occurred to her, honestly. It's a giant flying airship fortress thing, with a bowling alley, even. Why would you want to go somewhere else?
"Octopus?"

“Live here?” Valerie nearly snorts the soda up her nose. “Look, I know he already spies on me in my own goddamn house. I don’t have any intention a’ signin’ up for fully bugged rooms as well,” she laughs, setting the can down. Well, that and she liked her house. It was tiny, cramped dump, but she’d worked to get it for months.
“Oh, was that a slip? Meant Octavian.” Honestly, Val doesn’t sound too apologetic about that.

"Why is he spying on you?" Elsa is pretty sure she's never done anything particularly worth spying on. She has occasionally picked her nose when no-one was watching.
"Oh, I get it. Because they sound the same. Right."

Valerie arches a brow at Elsa. Is that woman seriously that dense or was this a cover? Her guts say dense, but her paranoia didn’t necessarily agree. Outwardly she does not show any of her weariness, merely cocking her head to one side, asking, “You checked, huh?”
“I got worse names for him. Ought to be glad I’m just sticking to the cutesy ones”

She used to be even denser, but she's not made of metal anymore. Also, she used to be male, and women have a higher percentage of body fat than men (in general) which makes them less dense. This fact probably doesn't matter, given the one preceding it.
"Wait, checked what? Checked that they sound the same? Checked for bugs? Are you making fun of me?" Elsa asks, voice dropping to a growl.

Oh, that was just- “You cannot be that dense,” she says, all pretense of control vanishing. What the hell was going on? Was this a set up? Did Octavian set this up? But why? A snarl scrawls itself onto her face and she stands up on top of her chair, stepping onto the tabletop, boots clunking heavily in her wake.
“‘Why is he spying on you?’ So you know he’s spyin’ on me,” she sneers, crouching down to jab a finger at Elsa’s face. “You know the guy well enough that Lord goddamn Slaughter was willing t’ come down n’ pull you out of a prison truck himself. Why don’t you tell me why, seein’ as you’re in the better informed position here, huh?”
That was the question wasn’t it? How in the world did Valerie fit into this picture? She was confused and pissed and probably not about to get an answers. Starting a fight and making the lunch room into an irreparable warzone wasn’t going to solve her problems either but it was sure going to help improve her mood.

"Wh- You just told me he was! That's how I know!" Elsa snarls, looking like she might bite Valerie's jabbing finger. Or possibly grab it and break it. Onslaught probably wouldn't like it if he broke fingers that Vortex needs to piloting though. Also, Vortex might enjoy it.
She reaches under the table and flips it instead. It's possible Valerie is quick enough to jump off and not go flying along with it. "You wanna fight about it?!"

Valerie is not believing that bull for a second. She doesn’t say that though because Elsa just flipped the table. She’s not quite fast enough to jump off but she lands on the floor and does a quick backroll- back onto her feet as the table clatters heavily against the floor in front of her.
“Why d’ you think I’m pissin’ you off?” she laughs in answer, the pupils of her eyes turning white. And then the table is sent flying right back at Elsa accompanied with a very violent gust of wind.

Brawl isn't really clever enough to lie convincingly. About the most advanced deception he's ever been capable of is turning into a tank, and now he can't even do that. Poor Elsa is just having trouble following the conversation!
"Mostly people don't do it on purpose!" she shouts over the gale, punching the table as it flies at her and shattering it like cheap glass. She roars and runs across the room toward the smaller woman.
