Look, sometimes these powers develop naturally. And Shirin's career military, to spy, to...free agent, as it were. She's mostly retired, or taking care of jobs that are too dangerous for most--which is why she's now out in the middle of nowhere, in the woods, sitting on a tree branch and questioning her life and her choices.
Her contract was to subdue, and she was given pictures, but she's got no real idea why her target would be out in bumfuckerstein, nowheresberg. A job's a job, we suppose.]

[She'll come back out with...well that shirt's dead so she's stripped down to her sports bra and he's gonna have to deal.]
The power you're feeling, that you're developing...it's known as a stand. It's essentially a power born of some part of your psyche.
Time was, they were pretty rare. I guess the arrows the Ionesco Foundation gave me sparked something strange in your great-grandfather...they suspected that beings like him might have some connection to the formation and origins of these powers, that's why the wanted him alive, but, well.
