The tightness of the dressing seemed to help with the pain somewhat. Well that and the local anesthetic/anti-bacterial application that had also been applied. But he was sure that tomorrow his leg would hurt something fierce. Oh well, nothing a few pills couldn't take care of. He had plans after all.
The Cap was talking to the woman. Ivan looked her over. Tall- maybe up to his eyebrows- and swathed in black wrappings of some sort with some sort of pack. Looked like a ninja to him, though he'd never heard of a woman ninja. Well maybe on that reality show from DIV everyone talked about- the one with all the homeless kids who fought and stuff. It was seriously messed up, that. A joke he'd read came to mind. "DIV exports crazy like DV exports oil." He didn't get how that was supposed to be entertainment. Then again, there were a lot of things about the CCD he didn't get. He hoped Ascendancy would be able to take care of stuff like that.
But this woman- and from the way she moved, she was definitely female. A part of him wondered what she looked like under all those wraps, so tall and statuesque and clearly strong to have tossed that head as far as he had. He smiled. Nice! An Amazonian Ninja down here in the Moscow tunnels. Remembering that old show Pops used to watch, he though, Or maybe Xena! And once he thought of that, that was it. She was Xena.
"Got an arm on you there. Nice toss.
With his power-enhanced vision, he noted something interesting about her eyes. They looked to be slits or something, like a snake. Cool contacts. So anyway, he just stood there and listened to the Cap make his spiel. He doubted it would make much of a difference with Xena here. It hadn't with the others. But he could be wrong. She had followed the Italian guy after he'd had a run in with a monster, from what Ivan could tell from having listened in while getting patched up. So that was something he guessed.
At any case, he waited with the Cap to see what Xena'd do. And for the wagon to arrive for the Italian guy. And the monster cleanup crew.
