It moves one leg a bit. "Cool! You got metal powers?"

"Not metal. Rock, and things that come from rock. You a tinker?"

"That too," they say, dismissively. "Name's Glam. They pronouns, please."

"They is a pronoun? ...Guess it is. English." She shakes her head. "She for me since you said that. Are you planning to do anything unpleasant or destructive? I've got nothing against big robots, just stealing and killing and so on."

"No killing. Some stealing. Some scaring people. I'll definitely not hurt anyone who doesn't try to hurt me."

"Better than I thought but not great. Why even steal? You can obviously make stuff. Someone would buy a giant robot... Wait, that annoying approval process."

"Yeah," they agree. "Plus some other complicated stuff. As for the stealing, it's mostly for the attention. The robot, too. I wouldn't really use a giant robot if I wanted to be subtle about it."

"That's also difficult and kinda dangerous to explain."

"How annoying. If you won't stop or explain why, I'll have to stop you. Not that I don't like you, it's just how it is."

"I know. But that's okay. Fighting a new hero also satisfies the mysterious unexplained things. What's your cape name, by the way? And why aren't you calling the rest of your team?"

"I'm Mountain. I don't have a team, I'm just here 'cause they hired me to fix some of what Behemoth broke. But it's not like you can beat me. I punched Leviathan in the face, you know."

"Ooh, that's cool. I made a gun that burned Leviathan, though, so I think I'm still better!"

"Those two things are just stupidly tough, and even diamond is only so hard. Maybe at the next fight can you make me something hard enough to actually hurt them."

"Yeah! That's a good idea. We could work together on the next fight, if you want."

"Sounds good... I still have to stop you for now unless you want to stop stealing things, though."

"I'll stop stealing things if you take enough of my time stopping me from stealing things that I deem it Worth It."

"You can fly, right?"

"...well, I wasn't planning to, today that wasn't on my powerset list, but yes, in general it is an ability I possess."

"They're just granite and ruby and diamond and so on. But I'm pretty tough by myself too. Plus I'm holding them right now, and-" At this point chunks of concrete quietly but not silently leap up from the surface of the sidewalk (behind Glam) and try to sneak up on them. "-they won't melt or accept electrons or whatever unless I let 'em. So fire away." The concrete then tries to wrap around Glam like it's a liquid, then solidify.

They notice the concrete, and fly up, aiming down and shooting at the concrete with kinetically charged blasts. "Okay, firing away!"
