Snape heard her words "I am sure they are much like each other, in some cases yet diffrent in others like most things, how ever I am sure that you will get the hand of it" Of course he was not one like there that flew & such or in such a way, he was more bound to his wizarding blood then the none wizarding blood, likly becouse he favored his mother more then his father.

"Well, the U-2 can only go 805 kilometers an hour (500mph) while the SR-71 can go over 3,530 kilometers an hour (2,200mph) so I'm already used to going three times the speed of sound." Balder chuckled "It's kinda sad how we had to slow down, I'd love to go even faster. But both of them operate at over 21,300 meters (70,000ft), it's a good thing i'm not afraid of heights."

Snape heard her words "Well if you did then you would ether have to find away to deal with it or get a new job, though many do not like hights to such extent, though I suppose everyone has there likes & unlikes" Though it was true many people liked & yet did not like other things, that is what made them all diffrent & all intresting at least at times.

Balder nodded "I'm thinking of taking up the offer, I'd be transferred back next year. It'd be fun to fly over and scare the crap out of the guys at NASA again... I used to fly over their building at Nellis in Nevada and I'd put on full afterburners, full power, and the sound would literally shake the windows." Balder chuckled, even emphasizing the 'shake' with her hands shaking.
"The really good thing about having a government job is that I don't have to hide the fact that I'm a witch, the only people in America that don't know the existence of the wizarding world is the public."

Snape heard Balders words he was silent a moment before he spoke "Perhaps, but if the public knew or more some more then already do, it likly would not seat well. More so do to the fact that the government could only do some much to try to stop any harm that could come form the warding world & like any people the idea of some thing not being able to be stooped does not seat well with people. Though I suppose I should feel good that I do not have to worry about you trying such a tack tick on me as you did with NASA"

"Actually America's starting to accept a lot of things; we might be 2nd to Canada on being one of the most accepting places in the world." She chuckled "Yeah, I don't think Professor McGonnagall would be too happy if I flew a jet over Hogwarts...heck, I don't know if all of the magic here would mess up the electronics systems; they don't for me or my brother, but that's just one person; who knows if hundreds of people could cause interference. Heck, it took me a while to do it but I was able to modify my cell phone to actually run off of magic and electricity."

Snape heard her words, he nodded "Besideds there is a change you would get shot out of the sky trying such a stunt" Of course it could happen, just as much as it could not happen yet it was good to say all the same.
(It is alright I know the feeling)

Balder chuckled "Hey, i've never been hit when I've flown; I'm one of the best at dodging things!" she said proudly. "Many have tried to shoot me down but they've missed every time!"

Snape smirked "And how many things coming at you where with magic? Besides there are some that if there where going to hit you they would, it is just a matter of doing it so that it works"

"I honestly don't know what was being launched at me, all I know is stuff came at me." she chuckled "Sure, I got close to losing the aircraft, I pushed them all to their limits; I pushed them past their design, but I always came back home in one piece......well, at least from being in the sky...on the ground I will admit I've lost a few chunks." Balder smiled and shrugged. She just admitted to him she had been wounded at least once.

Snape did not miss her words, the potion was done & ready to be used he spoke "Well did we have are mind on being in the sky when you lost so called chunks?" Of course he had his own wounds, form his life as a spy form what came with it though some could be sceen & others could not be.

"No, our base came under fire during the night. I was on patrol duty and they caught us by surprise. At first it was RPG's, but then then a group of taliban forces came close to the base. I got shot in the thigh twice and once in my left arm. I didn't even notice I got hit until it was all over and I couldn't move my leg or my arm." Balder pulled a necklace from around her neck for him to see, it was the 3 bullets that hit her, along with a piece of bone. "The bullets I had inside me, and a piece of me when my left shin was hit by a chunk of concrete from another attack. It was practically shattered but thankfully someone had some skele-grow on them. This was the piece that was the largest that was knocked out of my shin; I picked it up off the ground, cleaned it up, and put it on here." Balder let out a chuckle, "It's a bit of a morbid tradition my family has, 'Wear your scars and wounds with pride'. My dad's is halfway filled, and my grandfather actually had to start another necklace. My brother only has one bullet on his, so does my mom."

Snape heard her words "Well cannot say many wear there wounds & scares as you, do though many have been wounded in wars & battles if not worse. Though you where lucky that someone did have skele-grow with them for I am sure it helped matters, though somthing I did not think would be amoung muggles" It was not so much a pash at muggles, just more that there was alway learning to be done, even if it was that the muggle world was using many of the potions that the wizarding world was.

"Well, there's also the fact that there are other witches and wizards in military service in America. We have as much duty to our country as muggles do, to fight for freedom and safety. In fact, there are a lot of wizards and witches in congress, and 11 presidents were wizards." Balder shrugged. "In the States, the majority of muggles do actually know we exist, well, the government doesn't confirm or deny it. We're only persecuted by a few extremist groups, the rest of the muggles are cool with it. And sure, there is a magic-exlusive school, but it's the only one; we all go to the same schools, live in the same cities, and do the same things. Personally, I think having magic is like having money; it's a special perk."

"Well the government, does that allot when it comes to things" Snape watched Balder "Well it could be a perk, but it has its bads as well, though perhaps people ether are getting better with the idea or you are just lucky with those that you know or more know what you really are & accepted it. But, it is good that they allow you to serve & do what you feel you must or the drive for, but you likely do better with the fighting than many others do in your place, because of what you have learned"
