Newbie Meet N' Greet

Meet n' Greet, smell my feet, gimme something good to eat! Unfortunately, the newbie meet and greet takes place the same time the command staff is congregating, so they might be a little late to the party.

But the crew is there to welcome the newcomers and explain their situation. At the end of the milling and spilling about, the command staff is going to start a general meeting to apprise everyone of their situation and discuss their next course of action:

Getting off the damn ship.

No, but she does get another teenager in a leather jacket, one with a rather iconic "X" logo on it. He looked at Buffy and gave her a bit of a confused look, then looked at Kon.

"Dude, what the hell is with you? You've been making high-pitched noises and bouncing around for the last five minutes."

[identity profile] supertshirt.livejournal.com 2009-10-02 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
In the presence of another guy, Kon immediately tries to stop bouncing and squealing, because you really can't squeal like a teenage girl around your guy friends.

"This is Buffy. She's a Vampire Slayer, like a real version of Wendy the Werewolf Stalker, from the TV show back home. It's, y'know." He shrugs casually, as if he wasn't just squealing about it thirty seconds ago, and slicks back his hair. "Cool."

And then he ruins the whole thing by blurting out, "And she recognizes me! From--"

He pauses. "Wait."

Turning back to Buffy, he looks very disappointed.

"Comic books, seriously? That's kinda basement-dwelling nerdy. No movies? No TV show with some good-looking actor guy playing me on the BW? Not even a cartoon?"

He had his comic, once upon a time. You know, the one that was canceled at issue 100.

...That was his favorite. Yeah, his favorite. Anyway, he had his comic, but it was just the ONE and he didn't read any other one before that or after. Because comics are for nerds.

Julian looked back and forth between Kon and Buffy.

"Is that like Sarah the Mummy Hunter? Where's it about some hot blonde high school chick and her friends who run around fighting, well... mummies, but also demons and--"

...wait.

"Someone made a comic about you?"

[identity profile] supertshirt.livejournal.com 2009-10-02 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
"People around here've said in other worlds they've made movies and stuff about Robin and Bats and Superman, and all, so I guess my world is fair game for that--but so far she's the first one that knows of one made specifically about me."

Disappointment.

"But it's a comic! That's kinda lame. Chicks don't read comics."

After extricating himself from Cissie, Bart went to see if he could figure out where Lobo had vanished off to.

But then he saw Kon talking to some people and ran over to them instead. He could find Lobo later.

"I read comics," he said, halting next to them. "Hi, Kon. Hi... other people." He looked at the girl and tilted his head. "You look kinda familiar."

"Sarah the....Mummy Hunter?" Buffy blinked. "Oh, god, what? Is this going to lead to some Crisis of Infinite Chosen Ones?" And yet? That's so...cool. "Uh. Sorry, Superboy. I mean, there's Smallville...but you're kind of obviously not...Tom...Welling." Buffy looked at Julian, noting the X on his costume, and then she looked at...what was his name? Flashboy? No...Inertia? No, that wasn't right either... uh....

"So...do you." She looks back at Julian. "And so does that X on your che...have I been transported into a comic book?"

"...Bart?"

It's Bart.

"Bart!"

Before Impulse moves again, he gets a kind of half tackle, with Kon mussing up that mop top he calls hair.

"The last time I saw you you'd disappeared into the--aannnd I probably shouldn't spoiler you on the future, should I."

Wait a second. Smallville? How do they--okay, he'll worry about that later. But when she asks her question, he looks at himself, the speedster, and the young X-Man, and says: "What would make you think that?"

[identity profile] speedforbrains.livejournal.com 2009-10-02 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Bart laughed and gave him a sort of excited half-hug back. "Hi Kon! Disappearing where? Did you see Cissie's here? She hugged me too! And Lobo but he didn't hug mewhichisprobablygoodcauseifLobostartedgivinghugsI'dthinkitwaslikethatmoviewithpodpeopleorsomething." He took a quick breath and shook his head a little to remind him to speak so the slow people could understand him too. "It'd be cool to be transported into a comic book! Who's Tom Welling? Did you know there are tentacles here? And goo?"

Blink.

Blink blink blink.

Blink.

"Are...you on a sugar high or is this natural?"
telekinetic_badass: (Questioning)

[personal profile] telekinetic_badass 2009-10-03 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Julian had very much the same reaction. Who the hell was this kids?

"Friend of yours, Kon?"

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2009-10-03 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
"On of my best friends. Just a little younger than I last remember him, I guess since the ship's been yoinking us from different times."

Bart squirms out of his grasp, and Kon makes multiple attempts to snag him, but misses every time.

"He's--" Miss. "A--" Miss. "Speedster." Dammit. "You don't ever wanna see him on a sugar high, though, even though it lasts all of point-two seconds anyway."

Wait a second. "Bart, slow down! What's this about Lobo?"

Aw, crap. Just what they need. (Mind you, he's thinking of older Lobo...)

"He's here too! He went to go to the head, whatever that means. I like sugar," Bart said, pausing for a second to grin. "Woah, you got a big scythe!" he said, turning to the girl. "I'm Impulse." And all of a sudden, he was wearing Kon's jacket and doing his best impression of Kon, down to the posture and facial expression. "Actually, I'm Superimpulse."

[identity profile] i-died-twice.livejournal.com 2009-10-03 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
"..." Eyes wide, she looked at Kon before looking back at Bart. "Impulse...sounds like the right name for you. Even all, um, supered out." She looked back at Kon and Julian. "What's a Lobo?"

Julian looked just as lost.

"The hell if I know."

He shrugged, then held his hand out for Buffy. "I'm Julian, by the way."

[identity profile] supertshirt.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Lobo's either our team-mate or the adult version of our team-mate we don't really want to be here--" Oh, what is he doing now?

"Bart, gimme the jacket back."

Bart giggled and stepped just out of reach. "It's our teammate. And make me." He stuck out his tongue.
telekinetic_badass: (TK Power-up)

[personal profile] telekinetic_badass 2009-10-04 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
Julian looked at Bart, then used his tk to lift the speedster a few inches off the ground. It would make it a bit hard to run when his feet when can't touch the floor.

Bart felt himself being lifted up and glared at Julian. "Don't do that!" He started vibrating hard and fast until he dropped out of his grip. He ran behind Kon and glared at Julian. "Not funny."
telekinetic_badass: (Dark smirk)

[personal profile] telekinetic_badass 2009-10-04 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
Julian simply smirked for a moment.

"Got you to hold still for a second, though. Didn't it?"

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
"You'll never get more than a second," Kon says, grinning. "Imp, by the way, see this girl here? She's like, a different universe's Wendy the Werewolf Stalker, but for real, and she fights vampires."

Giving him a shiny keeps him stopped longer than force.

[identity profile] speedforbrains.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Woah really!" Bart held still for an entire three seconds contemplating that, then he tossed Kon's jacket at him and vwooshed in front of Buffy. "D'you really fight evil in a tube top? Does it annoy you when Cherub's so whiny all the time? How many apocalypses have you stopped? Did you know Kon's obsessed with you? Do you know Cissie? What happens in the end of Season 5?"

[identity profile] i-died-twice.livejournal.com 2009-10-05 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"...."

She looked at Julian and Kon, her eyes wide. "I...Cherub?"

She really, really needed that seat right about now.

And that drink, too.

"Uh. The tube tops...were always more Faith's thing. And Cher - ugh - Angel's not whiny. He's broody. In that Batman-kind of way. But sexier because it's not just his parents are dead, it's more he...killed his entire family." And that just sounds creepy when you say it outloud. "And...seven? The last one ate my entire hometown though. Like, all of it. From beneath us, it devoured. And..." Buffy looked at Kon again and smiled awkwardly. "I kind of got that when he fansqueed like a nine-year-old at a Hannah Montana concert." She looked back at Bart. "Season what?"
