"Athena is not just my patron, she is my beloved. You need not worry. I am a being of good. My mind is impervious to corrupting influence. You should have seen what I did to the demon who tried to kill Athena. I'd wager his ashes still haven't completely settled." He didn't know the tower had seen that attack and didn't understand tech yet.
"If its a melee weapon I can use it. This Powergirl, she sounds like an interesting challenge. I have no idea what an atomic bomb is, but if its anything like my final attack, she must be extremely powerful. I look forward to sparring with her. I know of places where sparring can be done without tremendous damage to everything. Sparring isn't war, but the thrill of a challenge to a warrior gets the blood and adrenaline flowing. I'm anxious to spar with her, and what better way for the organizations to see what I can do in a controlled environment?"
Escaflowne was anxious to face this Powergirl, not even suspecting that they had crossed paths before.
