Issue #10 - Revenge of the Marketing Drones!
[Christmas came and went, and Booster recovered from that terrible cold that the raid on the Milkman's factory generated after all the singing. So much singing. So much Skeets telling him "I told you so." When the cards came on Christmas Mike threw them in a corner, finally opening them today

[After she gets to the sign at speeds that no normal human can hope to match, she stops and gawks. It is apparently an ad for a strangely named cereal endorsed by a strangely dressed man. She wonders if this is a bit of foreshadowing for Mayfield's next trick, but dismisses the idea when she notices the man from the sign standing on the street.]
Was this your regain?
[Did a sign count as a personal item?]

[This is an interesting development. Could she ask for the items she had been allowed to use on her missions for the Association? Could she ask for things that had been connected to her, but were not hers per se?]

I don't think I can trade in a billboard for Rip, he's a person. A person who would probably have busted out of this place by now too, so I don't think they'd do that.

Your main suit? Is it some form of armor? What are time circuits?

[If it was really capable of enabling him to time travel, did it mean that he was a master of the Third Magic? However, with how easily he gives away his identity, he did not seem to be a magus.]
[Or perhaps, as with much of the other things here, it would just be a case of alternate universes. Magic and magecraft probably both worked differently there.]
What exactly did you do as a "superhero?"

Basically, I was the guy who watched the city when Superman was off doing something that protected the whole world. On an Earth where there were metahumans and super heroes everywhere.... I was one of the other guys... The ones who tried, but, nobody picked first.
[He lets out a sigh and shakes his head]

I suppose I should be honored to make your acquaintance then, Booster Gold.

[Aside from the class cards she had to subdue, she had met several Heroic Spirits here.]
While I cannot say I have the same line of work, there is enough of a resemblance that I understand your responsibilities and the stress of maintaining them.
[Since he had given her his name, she might as well as give him hers.]

[It is strange to hear him say that he does not understand a thing about magic. How could he perform the Third Magic without understanding how it worked?]
