Maybe you accidentally meet up with some estranged sibling from far away, or maybe your professor's old lab monkey becomes your worst nemesis. Either way, she wasn't totally wrong from experience.

Probably got that wrong, but...
Whatever.

A dubious look crossed the young heroine's face. She just wanted to make sure she wasn't getting scammed or anything like that.
Not that she thought she couldn't do it, but still, it was for the principle.

Buttercup admitted. Hell of a workaround, but if she wasn't flying around, then it seemed to get the job done.
❝ You really trained yourself to be able to do all that? ❞

Also ignoring the fact that the fight in itself made her tired, but, that was an entire decade or so ago. Her stamina must've increased by then, right?

Buttercup heard that word before. She associated it when Blossom was trying to explain some sciencey stuff about an earthquake monster. But putting two-and-two together, she started to gradually understand.
❝ So the way ya see me, it's through vibrations on the ground? ❞

The spice of the group would boldly proclaim, sticking out her chest and lifting her head into the air. She hasn't exactly... tested that though.

Buttercup tilted her head in confusion. She remembered something about sensing the minerals and whatnot, but...
That wouldn't exactly explain how she couldn't perceive her when she was right in front of her. That is, unless...
❝ Y'mean, ya can't see me normally? ❞

Buttercup spat back, arms folding close to her chest in a huff. The freedoms of growing older meant that the limits of bedtime were being broken gradually.
The future is now, and she's exercising these new rights however she pleases!

The heroine planted her feet on the ground once more, gesturing towards her previously floating body.
❝ Fly when I wanna. ❞

Buttercup lightly patted her body, stretching out her arms to let herself get a good look at her skin. Sure enough, hardly a thing changed. Only difference she could think of was...
❝ I only went up a few inches... ❞

Well, Buttercup's idea of a patrol, anyways. She always suggested they should go out at night like symbols of justice, putting fear into the hearts of bad guys, but...
That never really went over well with the team, so this is a much tamer version of that.

Without noticing, she begins to idly hover in place, using the air itself as a bed. Flight is one of the powers that seem to make her the most comfortable.

Buttercup would chuckle, leaning her head backwards with her arms behind.
Surprisingly, she hasn't picked up on that though. Nothing's quite given that away.

Sensing all those things, much less controlling it... Buttercup couldn't imagine. She had skill, but something on that level looked difficult.

Her eyes widened at the sight. She was able to just... control that piece of rock like it was nothing. Didn't even have to pick it up. Buttercup was kind of... fascinated by it.
❝ So, uh... How's it work? Looks pretty versatile... ❞

Consider Buttercup impressed. Her grin became wider as she bent down to take a look at those things. She tilted her head onto one side and gave a grin.
❝ That's pretty metal. Literally. So, is that your superpower? Controlling metal stuff? Never seen anyone like that before. ❞

She takes the drink and downs at least half of it before giving a satisfied sigh, smirking, impressed with the bender.
❝ Just don't tell my sis about this. She'd actually kill me. ❞

Wait, you have metal-bending powers? Dude, that's siiiick. You gotta let me see! ❞

Buttercup tries to rummage her hand through her pockets, looking for any spare change that could add up to the total of what she needs from the vending machine.
