And now for something completely different, a perfectly normal child! ... From... the 23rd century.

Johnny had seen plenty of city parks before, living in Tops and all. But he was pretty sure he'd never been to one that was actually on the ground before. Some of these trees had probably even been here since before there was even a park! This was like one of those neat nature preserve trips his class had gone on! This whole alternate-universe-time-travel-whatever thing was actually turning out kinda cool so far.

Then while he was walking around he caught sight of this little kid out of the corner of his eye. ... A little kid who was punching a tree, for some reason. Johnny just kinda stared for a sec.

But even besides the whole "punching a tree" thing, something seemed kinda different about this kid. Like he'd seen her before somewhere, or something. After that Ruka and Remus stuff he was definitely starting to figure out that that feeling meant something important, so Johnny figured he oughta check this out.

He started trotting over to her. "Hi!"

She turned toward the voice and gave him a small wave and a smile. Was he here to fight? His body language didn't seem like it. So she resumed her training--punching at invisible enemies and occasionally evading an unseen blow with an acrobatic maneuver.

Nope! Mostly he was just there to watch, because except for the fact that it was like, some little pre-K girl with pigtails doing it, this was starting to look like some real-deal martial arts movie stuff and that's always awesome.

Johnny waved back and walked up to just a little outside getting-punched range while looking progressively more impressed. "Those are some pretty cool moves, kid!"

[batghoul]

She turned and nodded enthusiastically. Someone also appreciated great fighting moves! She flipped into the air, landing on her hands and performing a spinning kick just to impress him further.

Okay this girl was now officially the coolest little girl of all time. "Awesome!"

Johnny plopped himself down on a nearby rock with the clear intention of sticking around for a while, because seriously how often do you run into a kid half your size who could probably flying ninja kick a grown-up in the face. "Where'd you learn to do all that stuff?" he asked enthusiastically.
