Samantha is absolutely captivated, and it's a wonder she's never tried this before, but then she was always anxious about being seen as masculine. It doesn't escape her that Melanie has way more in the way of feminine attributes than she does, even if their personalities are just about opposites, with Sam being a bit on the girly side and Mel more of a tomboy.
Curled up on the grass with her, she really feels what she's been missing, to the point that bitter anger rather than worry is her first reaction to Kin-and-Six's warning.
Still, she's already acting before the call to suit up arrives. She sends a command to base to send her costume out.
{Continue monitoring, try to get me eyes on the spot.}
The moment the call from the YPA comes in, she orders Dragonfly to warm up, and the scarabs part from their stations to enter special loading docks on the ship. She decides to leave the Ahlat at home this mission. The scarabs will be there to provide video coverage and intervene if needed, but she wants to show her team that she can function without an army.
Her pistol is a bit underpowered right now, sure, but it's better than nothing.
"Now I'm really mad," she says aloud while that goes on. "I was having a really good time. We should do this again soon. Maybe next time it can be a music lesson!" She reaches forward and pecks her cheek. "I'll catch up, I've still got an identity to protect after all~"
Slipping off, she makes her way out and passes into an alley. A moment later, a scarab descends with her costume and she quickly dresses over her day clothes, passing her jacket, jewelry, and shoes over, until she emerges tightening her gloves at the far end, startling passerby as a full superhero steps out. She's met by her bike and zooms off, back to base.
No matter how fast it is, though, she's counting the seconds and minutes. First responders need to be fast, and the time it took her to get ready was far too long. What she really needs is something that stores her equipment, perhaps in a large piece of jewelry...
{Dragonfly prepped and ready to go, Captain,} she pings Stream. {My ETA: 5 mins.}
