It made her a little creeped out when the big boss man, Matt (she refused to give the idea of calling him after his champion name), started staring at her and moving his lips under his own breath. It was like she was being put under a microscope with the outward appearance almost reminding her of a person reciting some sort of silent incantation. It made her so uncomfortable that she decided to defuse it by engrossing all of her attention to her pizza.

Matt then went on to talk about said pizza and its humble origins. Sam thought it was a bit silly that they were wasting time on this topic of the pizza. It was just small talk to break the cold villainous tone that she still sensed in the air. If there was one thing she didn't like, it was small talk, but she decided to tolerate it for Artemis' sake. Perhaps it made her feel more comfortable. 

Finally, the man came back to the meat of the matter and explained that the names were only to hide their identities. It seemed like a reasonable enough excuse, except for the fact that when he introduced them he used both their first name and their champion name. Also, even if both of those four letter names turned out to be deceptive as well, it would be very easy to figure out what their names really were. All you had to do was ask the innocent, elderly apartment owner from downstairs about what their real names were. Of course, then if those also turned out to be fake, that would mean that even before all of this powers mess they had been faking their identity, and that would bring about some dangerous suspicions. Why would they need to hide their names before any of this? Maybe... [b]because they were villains[/b]!? It all seemed rather fishy to her, but she decided to let it go. She wasn't going to get anywhere on this notion. Besides, Sam wasn't the most pure, law abiding citizen either and that didn't make her a villain. She just wish they would stop acting so stiff, like talking to business men, and she couldn't deal with all of the formalities.

Then they finally got to some important points as they monologued. 1. Don't use your powers to hurt innocent people. 2. They were offering them all a place to stay. 3. They were inquiring about champions from Noxious or the Shadow Isles. "[color=a0410d]Well, you don't have to worry about me hurting any innocents, I just kinda thought that went without saying anyway.[/color]" She brought a pizza piece to her mouth and took a bite as Artemis made a good point and the woman nodded in agreement to what was being said. They might have acquired some new abilities, but they were still living in the same world; a world with police, SWAT, and military. Still, Sam could imagine that many could just go under the radar and commit small crimes or just be really sneaky about it. No one in their right mind would start out strong arming the populous by creating collateral damage. Once Artemis was done, Sam made her next point. "[color=a0410d]As far as living with two men, one of which I know is an ass, I think I'll have to decline. I have my own space and that's how I like it.[/color]" Besides, deep inside Sam was just very uncomfortable with very intimate social situation, communal living being one of them. She would loose her privacy and her quiet place to a venture introduced by two people she had yet to trust. In regards to the third point Artemis said no, and Sam replied, "[color=a0410d]Ditto.[/color]" 

Sam, like an impatient and eager child, went to her next point. "[color=a0410d]Now, I know this is a totally different subject, but I came here to learn more about what my champion might be and what I can do. Can we just skip to that part?[/color]" She said as she finished her last piece of pizza and wiped the flour and greasy residue on fingers onto the furniture she was lounging on and sat her plate onto a little table on the side.
