Once Benny mentioned that Dr. Chaos may have planted a mind control device on her, she chuckled, looking up for a moment.
"You know, that's actually a very solid theory when you think about it. I trust him though, I don't think he would do that to me... or my friends for that matter." She said.
"He knows I'm not out to steal his scientific genius, nor am I the type to stab homies in the back." She said with a genuine smile.
"Uhm... I can call him and see if he can drive over here but don't go pulling him out of your hat... he'd get pissed because you might interrupt his research." She said.
After she was finished shooting, and once Benny replied to her statement regarding how to take hostages, she chuckled a little more.
"Well if you do outlive me, promise me that you won't do that Moral Event Horizon shit, okay? I don't mind villains that go after heroes in it for the glory, or other powerful people that could very well be dangerous by themselves. I just don't like villains that you can't distinguish between a rapist/murderer in jail, or a Jihadi in Syria or that fucking Nazi our own school." She said with a serious tone.
"Trust me, I'm a villain too. I'm just with Mayweather right now because I wanna work on the good side of me as well. I wanted to learn in a more peaceful, friendly environment where I won't need to be afraid to show my powers... but... that goddamn fire happened and the administration had to be PUTOS IDIOTAS!!!" She shouted, kicking a nearby tree before calming down.
"Sorry... I just... this whole... Mayweather and Delphina bullshit pisses me off sometimes. I've seen things like this happen before... I lived it." Carmen said softly.
"It's only a matter of time before a kid or two gets killed... hell one of them was already sent the hospital by fucking Shitler Genocidicles." She said, Shitler Genocidicles being her nickname for the Nazi in the school.
"Just... do me a favor and please don't get involved in all of that Mayweather/Delphina riffraff. We're all human beings here... and hell... I'm both a hero and a villain. I'm getting along with you and James just fine." She sighed.
"Yeah... sorry. I... sometimes ramble on when I'm upset." She said, leaning up against a tree.
"And... don't worry about offending me regarding my religion." She said with a smile.
"I'm a Diest. While I do believe in God... I just don't believe in the Bible or Quran or... whatever organized religion's out there. Don't worry, you can curse and insult my God all you like, I'm pretty sure it won't give a shit." She said with a chuckle.
"Yeah... again, don't worry about it. Make all of the religious jokes around me, I tend to make 'em too." She grinned.
"And..." She chuckled.
"... I'm pretty sure Dr. Chaos will make Dorito-flavored ice-cream once my birthday rolls around next year. They already made Dewritos for crying out loud!" She laughed.
Once Benny looked at his phone and regarded his text, she looked to him.
"Who?" She asked before getting her answer.
"Oh... her. Uhm... I don't know her too well... but please fill in a good word for me." She said, gulping, hoping that at least Eliana won't report this range or any of this to the administration. She looked around before chuckling a little at his statement.
"Well... anytime you're pulling me out of your top hat... just give me at least a few minutes notice via text, I could be in the middle of doing something important." She chuckled.
She then saw Eliana come out from the had, and land onto the ground back on her two feet. She saw how woozy she was, and was a little amazed by this... though the fact that seeing Benny summon objects all of the time made her a bit used to the spectacle, she still enjoyed him seeing people out of it nonetheless. Once Eliana told Benny out, Carmen stepped back a little with that signature 'We got a badass over here!' face, smirking a little. Once Eliana walked past her and examined the firing range, Carmen looked to Eliana.
"Eliana... I know we don't know each other well, but please do me a solid and do NOT report this firing range to the administration. This... this place is kind of my home... and I don't want to see it torn down-" She was then cut off by Eliana's question, asking them if she could shoot something. At that, Carmen blinked.
"Oh... you... actually want to shoot guns? I thought... you superheroes hated guns... and only anti-heroes like Deadpool and I used them." She joked, still surprised.
"Well... yeah! Sure!" She smiled.
"I can help you." She looked to Benny.
"Benny... uhm... please summon me a Walther P22 with a few mags." She requested, holding out her hand.
If Benny complied, she looked to Eliana with a smile.
"Okay... first thing you need to learn about shooting these things is how to safely handle them." She said.
"Make sure when you're handling this thing, always keep it pointed towards the ground... or at least not at anything you're not willing to destroy." She said, gesturing to how she's keeping the gun pointed down towards the ground.
"Always treat the gun as if it's loaded. Even if it's unloaded and the safety's on." She explained.
"Always keep the safety on and your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire." She said, showing her the safety on the Walther P22 and demonstrating trigger discipline.
"And last but not least... for the love of all things holy... do NOT SHOVE THE THING IN YOUR PANTS. I cannot stress this enough." She explained.
"I've been plenty of gangbangers nearly shoot their asses and junk off for ignoring these rules. Now... do you understand the rules?" She asked.
"If you do... repeat them to me." She said.
After the crash course, Carmen would load the P22 up, but keep the safety on.
"Here... be very careful with this. While .22s are easy to shoot, and are typically non-fatal, these things still can kill someone and they can hurt like a motherfucker." She explained, handing the gun to Eliana. She then pointed to a few cans downrange, which aren't too far away.
"Stand with your feet apart a little, pose your shoulders, and aim down the sights..." Carmen said, standing behind Eliana and guiding her to the
standard handgun shooter pose. "Disengage the safety... and when you're ready to fire... pull the trigger." If Eliana fired the gun, it would feel nice and easy, almost like a BB gun. Whether it was fun for her or not was up to her, but typically it's fun.
