we found the one place that might need a Samora as much as Golarion does

The one is wearing a heavy dark coat and thick boots. She gives you a wave, and smiles a little nervously. "I'm Panacea, better known as Amy."

"And I'm Victoria!" The taller blonde one isn't bothering with a coat, going with a pants-and-short-sleeve-shirt combo that Samora's untrained eye is starting to recognize as the local indoor standard. "We're so glad to meet you. Our mom -- she's a hero too -- told us how you saved all those people in Denver yesterday. And now you're going to be working here, at least for a while? Amazing."

She eyes Samora thoughtfully, lingering on the sword and shield. "I'll just order us a cab real quick, and you two can get acquainted!" She takes a few steps back with a fending little please-wait gesture, and pulls out her own phone.

"Pleased to meet you both! So, Amy, what sort of healing do you do? Or would you rather I went first?"

"Ah, we call it biokinesis.  When I touch someone, I can see all the cells of their body, all their blood, their bones, and I can fix the things that aren't working.  My power helps a lot with understanding it, but it still takes a little while to find all the problems and figure out what to do with them.  It's...intense."

"Wow, that's so complicated! But it must be really thorough. Someone would have told me if you could raise dead people with it, but can you regrow limbs? Can you make people stronger and healthier than they've ever been, or only put them back how they used to be?"

She sighs.  "No, no regrown limbs.  My power needs something living to work with; for normal changes it's fine to just steal some fat cells, but for like a leg?  I can stick them back on if you get to me right after they get chopped off, but that's kinda it. But yeah, I can make people healthier. I can fix up their eyesight, tone their muscles...I try to do things like that if there's time, especially if they got attacked, or something, just to make it up to them.  It's nice to help."  It's nice to do something more interesting than attaching torn arteries for the millionth time, is what, but honestly her spa-in-a-can routine is starting to get old, too.

"What about you?  I heard it was really fast, but the details didn't make sense."  She has already decided that she will not die of envy when Samora explains it.

"Mine's a lot, hmm, stupider? There's this stuff called positive energy, and dumping it into people can fix a lot of problems but not replace missing parts or cure diseases. And there's a couple of other spells for things like curing diseases or fixing energy drain or raising the dead, and every morning I choose what spells to prepare, but most of them I can turn into more positive energy. So I can fix anything that can be solved with enough positive energy and otherwise it's very limited and hit-or-miss. I wonder what watching someone get healed with positive energy looks like to your power. Maybe you'd be able to, hmm, catch it? And get it to do things it's normally too undirected for."

Snrk.  "I think most powers are stupid that way. We have this Ward Clockblocker who freezes people in time, and nobody knows how that works, including him. He just decides when it should happen, and then it does. He cant even control how long it lasts! My sister takes college classes on powers and she says that's normal, most powers don't need thinking about."

and Amy's doesn't either, really, what's challenging is to get it to stop

Wait, should she have mentioned Clockblocker? Samora will hear about him eventually but it doesn't make a good first impression, does it? If Carol finds out she said that...well, maybe Samora's translation power won't explain the joke.

Wait, raise the dead? "What do you mean, raise the dead? Can I watch?" Wow, way to sound normal, Amy.. "I mean with my power? I probably won't be able to do anything with it. Not with positive energy either, that really sounds like normal power bullshit, no offense. But it'd be interesting." And she really, really needs something interesting in her life.
