"Here," Clint said, shoving a block of knives at the first person who came into the kitchen. "Do me a favor and throw these at me, okay?"

His blue eyes were wide and just a little crazy.

	Clint shot her a wry smile. "Yeah. I think my powers are malfunctioning, but I'm pretty much okay." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She looked relieved for a minute until what he said registered completely. "Clint! You wanted to test them with KNIVES?" Petra threw her hands up in the air, looking at the ceiling as she spoke.

	He rubbed the back of his neck. "It was a working theory!" he protested...pretty weakly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Petra just shook her head as she began to open the drawers in the kitchen. "I don't suppose you all have anything like a deck of cards here, do you?" she asked as she continued to look for the inevitable junk drawer. "We can totally test your powers with those." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No, but I can run up and get some." He paused at the kitchen door and offered her a quick, flashing grin. "Knives would've been cooler." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rolling her eyes Petra just made a shooing motion with her hands. "We can do that later!" she called out after him. "After I'm sure I won't kill you by mistake!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Clint was gone for a few minutes before returning with a stack of cards. He tossed them onto the counter before hopping up after them, casually sitting with his hands between his knees. "Just don't look too carefully at the backs." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

In the time he'd been gone Petra managed to wash the dishes that had accumulated in the sink. It was only polite after all, she was using their oven.

Taking the deck, she raised her eyebrow at Clint's instructions, but did as she was told, barely glancing at the back of the cards. Petra shuffled the deck several times, only dropping the cards once. She was quite proud of that.

"Okay, so how would your luck usually work? If I look at a card, put it back in the deck and ask you to find that card, would that be a good test?"

	"That'd be good. Or we could take turns randomly selecting cards and mine would beat yours nine out of ten times." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Okeydokey," Petra replied happily, setting the shuffled cards on the table. She cut the deck, lifting up the top half to reveal her card. Jack of Diamonds. Not impossible to beat but the odds were against Clint. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He chose a card, flashing the Queen of Hearts at her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Petra grinned and cut the deck again. "Bleh," she said, making a face and showing him the five of clubs. "That's easy to beat. Although I suppose, if you don't beat it, that'll tell us something." (Reply to this) (Parent)
