Metal Head made its way over to one of the public restrooms in the park and pointed toward the door. "I'm about to change back. When I do, I have things to take care of. Kindly have enough consideration to stay out." With that, the massive metal being squeezed through the door and latched it behind him.
Hardly moments after Terry had done so, he changed back. It hadn't been a moment too soon. Man, that guy was too clingy ... Careful to not make any sounds of his own, he whirled the dial about again. Now a bit of Ghost Buster should do the trick, and I'll be rid of him ...
But when the light faded and he looked in the mirror - albeit hesitantly - it wasn't the ghoulish face he was expecting, but a frustratingly familiar pretty blue face. She muttered a few rather unladylike phrases, then looked around. There were openings near the ceiling, wide enough she could slide through. It would mean coming into the men's side, but it didn't sound like anyone was over there, and it'd get her out on the other side.

Pulse nodded quickly. When the robot closed the door, the armored hero waited for a moment before glancing over towards the men's side.
"Hmm...well...maybe it's time for a change in tactics," he thought. He zipped inside the men's restroom, careful to be very quiet, and checked around. When he was satisfied with the emptiness of the room, he latched to door and concentrated. His armor faded off him silently and he glanced at the mirror. He looked himself over and frowned slightly. "Alright..." he thought.

The girl had just gotten herself up near the opening when she saw him come in, and before she could think better and stop herself, she blurted out, "What are you doing in here?"

Jamie nearly jumped out of his skin, stumbling back and almost falling. He glanced around quickly. Spotting the girl, his face paled quickly.
"Crap" he thought.
"What're you doing here?! This is the guy's side!" he exclaimed.

The girl seemed to realize what she had just done, but quickly put out an answer. "I'm not technically over there. Besides, it was empty until you came in." Then, thinking that answer was rather lacking, she added again, throwing something together quickly. "I saw the opening near the top and I always hear the condition of guys' bathrooms are worse, and I wanted to see if it was true."

"That's no excuse!" Jamie said, turning slightly pink. "If you were so curious, just ask!"

She scowled back at him. "Well, how were you supposed to know how much worse one side was than the other? Do you propose to look on this side? Because I don't see how that would be any better!"

Jamie sent half a scowl back at the girl. "I wouldn't need to know! All you would've had to ask was about the condition of the room!" he countered. "And then you just compare it with the info you already had!"

"Well what kind of conclusive evidence would that be?" she asked. "You could think this room was clean, and yet it could still be a good sight messier than mine!"

"Then you should ask more specific questions instead of just for a general 'is it clean?'!" he answered.

"Why is curiosity such a crime?" she demanded as she rolled her eyes. "All I did was glance over! It's not like I was peering into the stalls with a camcorder!"

"That doesn't matter! Guys don't always use the stalls!" he said, gesturing towards the urinals.

She put on a good show of blushing, and it wasn't all fake. She had just realized how awkward a situation it could have been if there had, indeed, been someone there. "Well, still, I told you, there wasn't anyone here when I first came up!"

"No! You only thought there wasn't anyone here!" he said. "I was here! There could've been a really quiet guy here!"

The girl seemed to slump at the words. "Sorry ..."
Finally, though, she grinned. "Guess this means we're even, huh?"
