"Damn right I'm ready," Lana... now in her Buster outfit, replied before snapping on her yellow tinted goggles, completing the supergeek chic look she was going for. As soon as they came on, a heads up display linked with her combat suit pulled over her eyes. Her pet project and lifes passion for the past few years now was also her superpower so to speak, a blending of both her own martial skills and advanced technology. It allowed Alexis, normally a very highly skilled and talented martial artist, to be Buster, superheroine vigilante who could go toe to toe with gun and power wielding criminals with nothing but her feet, fists and a mild case of mood disorder.<br/><br/>When she was younger, she had always marveled at the best martial artists, how they seemed to naturally be able to flow like water with the execution of their moves and follow one technique with another, merging and balancing styles and arts almost effortlessly, like it was instinctive. While she pushed herself to be all she could be martially, training in a different martial art every year and showing herself off as a quick learner herself, she still had trouble memorizing previous fighting styles she learned, much less how to adapt it to what she was learning currently. Unlike the best martial artists who could blend their styles flawlessly, she could not despite her skill and intelligence.<br/><br/>So her nerdy bent finally gave birth to the software and system that turned her into a literal human weapon.<br/><br/>She developed a software program loaded with thousands of moves from dozens of of different martial arts styles. An interactive martial arts database that has also analyzed hundreds of fights whether described in text or video from all kind of sources. College wrestling events, professional boxing bouts, UFC fights, street fights on YouTube, Kung Fu movies, martial arts instructional and even medieval combat manuals to see what works in what situation. Then with the help of her even more technically gifted best friend Alexis, she designed a program as a miniaturized battle computer which instantly analyzes and recommends courses of action to her via mental or telepathic thought commands whenever she is wearing some sort of apparatus like a mask or goggles or helmet or something or even a suit. Thus whenever she's in a close combat the battle computer subtly directs and influences her mind instantaneously and continuously to the point its second nature for her to respond instinctively to its guidance, its main limit being Lana... or Buster's own physicality and skills, both of which she trained truly hard to improve constantly.<br/><br/>It was a tall order, but she was willing to put in the hours.<br/><br/>But having to support her vigilantism with hours in the dojo, the gym and the workshop, combined with school and the feint remnants of a social life took their toll on her.<br/><br/>She punched one padded glove of a fist into another and smirked at Alexis. "This is going to feel great with Finals week," she then said, realizing they hadn't had much time to cram crimefighting in between studying this past week. "Some people use stressballs... I use criminal skulls," she then added with a grin. "So... wanna do the old roof leaping or should we take the car?" she then added.
