Why don't you want to be treated differently?

Because they automatically assume I'm some spoiled brat without a single thought in my head.

People sometimes assume the same thing when they hear that I'm royalty. They think that I must have been handed everything on a silver platter; that I've never actually worked for anything that I have.

I had a feeling you would get it. [sighs]

It's just a pain in the ass. I don't want to deal with it. Especially over a possessed internet site.

Most of the people there probably wouldn't recognize your name, anyway.

You didn't. It's a good sign.

[That didn't mean she was giving it out anytime soon.]

I never heard of you either. Fire Lord Azula is quite a title.

I'm from another world. The Fire Nation.

Simple name. Do your people have an affinity for fire?

We're firebenders. I can't show you here, but we can create and control fire.

[She glances at the door.]

Good idea. If a fire started in here... my bodyguards shoot first and ask questions later.

Well, that's where controlling it comes in. I haven't accidentally set a fire since I was four.

Now this I have to see. How about I get you that coffee I promised and you can show me how you firebend afterward?

... Fine.

Will the address of this place be enough?

Yes. I can worldhop there.

Let's do it then.

[Moment of truth. Despite herself, Elektra is kind of excited. If this is true, things are bound to get interesting.]

... I have to touch your arm; you won't hop with me if I don't.

[For a second Elektra looks a little self conscious but, offers her arm. She hates being touched but, if this was true it would be well worth it.]

Go ahead.

[by the ginger, awkward way she puts her hand on Elektra's forearm it's clear she isn't used to or comfortable with touch either, but she does it without comment]

[and away they go!]

[She's happy that it is such a slight touch lest she flinch away. Once they arrive outside the place Elektra is both disoriented and greatly impressed at once.]

That's amazing.

I know.

So you believe it now.

[Elektra laughs.] Yeah. I do. Unless you're mutant with too much time on your hands, there's no way you could have gotten me here just be touching me.

No, I'm not a mutant. I'm a normal human.

[... except for the bending thing, but that's normal on her world]

Except for the power to bend fire right?

[Elektra opens the door to cafe and walks on in.]

But that's normal at home.

[follows!]
