Meet'n Greet Part Deux

[daaayum.livejournal.com]

Obs Deck usually had the most people at any given time. It was a large comfortable room, and it had places to sit.

This was where Leela led Kurt.

"Looks like we got some new people other'n you," she said, gesturing with her thumb towards a floating boy with a leather jacket that was mingling with other people nearby. Looked like there were a few others, too.

"You wanna meet the bosslady first or just everybody?"

"Ja. Though, one could say I am blinking in and out of another dimension." Then Kurt's shoulders rose and fell in a shrug. He wouldn't have even known that much if it weren't for the curiosity of someone else. It worked, so there. A cyborg, and for a moment, he seemed interested, or at least curious, but he didn't press her for details.

If it weren't for the circumstances, this could be a fun trip.

"I am surprised none of my teammates are here.. or at least ones from a timeline that I remember." It would have been nice, especially with this buddy system, to be able to depend on someone he knew. "Dealing with the impossible is more or less what they do." Someone like the Professor, especially! A sigh, then. He'd make do.

"They might show up, for all we know. In the meantime, people've been looking out for each other pretty well. Stick close and we won't let anything happen to you. If you need anything or anyone gives you trouble, let me know, okay, kid?"

A nod, then, though for a moment doubt was written clearly across Kurt's face. Even if they did show up, would that be a good thing? Some of the younger ones could be rowdy, after all.

Now his smile was rather warm; this sort of thing made him feel much more comfortable. Yes, she might be treating him like he was a bit younger than he really was(it was probably the height, or lack thereof), but she wanted him to feel safe.

It worked, anyway. Just a little.

"Yes, ma'am. Officer. Captain.."

"Just Cybil. Cybil's fine. Not that anyone ever actually calls me it, but it's always worth a shot," she said, looking amused as she walked away to greet some of the other newbies. "Better than 'Grand Poobah,' anyway..."

Leela nudged Kurt.

"Wha'd I tell you. See? S'all good."

The captain had headed off, then, and Kurt breathed out in relief. Not that she made him too nervous anymore, but still. Then Leela had put a playful elbow in his ribs, and he ..

.. stuck his tongue out at her.

Anyway. "Yes, but that was unusual. I mean, this whole thing is unusual, but.." He trailed off, then. "You were right, at least in her case." He could only hope the rest of the crew was as friendly.

She grinned and gestured towards some other people to meet. "I'm right in a lot of cases."
