The Call
Jaime Reyes voice sounds over the comm-rings--all of them--and it sounds very urgent.
« Everyone on the ship, listen up! This is Jaime Reyes, your local 'Blowing this pop stand' coordinator and escape facilitation engineer. I need everyone on the ship to come to the City, in front of the Precinct, immediately. Grab people who don't have their comm rings with them--and tell them to grab their comm rings, people who are sleeping, whoever you find, and try to make sure everyone on the ship knows to come. This is very important. This is "getting the heck out of here" important. »
When they arrive, they arrive to find the Command Staff waiting, and a tiny, tiny young man standing on stone ledge from a fountain, waiting for them.
Here goes nothing.

Re: Gathering
"I'll just punish you later. I'll leave it to you to decide whether it falls under positive or negative reinforcement." Nip of the ear, smirking.
Re: Gathering
"If we get to go back, I...I want to figure things out. I mean. I'd like to--I want to go out with you. Timelines or whatever else is in the way. I'll have to--"
A sigh and a wince. "I'll have to talk to Traci. Not looking forward to that, but... we had our rule. And...I really like you. So when we have more time...I want more time. With you."
A deep breath.
"I really like you a lot. I don't like...feeling as if I don't have enough time to show you that, and to try and find more things about you to like."
Re: Gathering
She brings a hand up to his face and strokes his cheek with her palm. "Jaime, not everything always has to be dire. For fu-- For heaven's sake--" He seemed too nice to just swear in front of, when they were speaking calmly. "--we're on a giant cyborg ship hurtling through space with dozens of people not even from the same bundle of dimensions. Standards of normalcy for starting a relationship kind of go out the window, even without you taking charge like you have. Just... I'm not going to be upset if you flicker back and forth between me and this stuff. Little bits of time still count, even just enough time for a kiss and telling me something I didn't know about you already."
She smirks, pulling back to arm's length. "Like this. We're just passing each other in the corridors, or you've got two minutes free, you come see me, I grab you, possibly inappropriately, lay some action on you--" She gives him a kiss on the mouth, nipping his bottom lip slightly "--, ask how you're doing, and tell you... oh.." She thought of something that hadn't come up before. "I can take apart a motorcycle engine and reassemble it in under an hour."
Re: Gathering
Yeah, that was his brain melting out his ear. Good going, Mia, now he's gonna suck on the mission, and Batman's going to make fun of him, and he'll have to go in the corner and cry.
Jaime matches her kiss with one of his own, and let's just say that when he's gotten a little worked up, he doesn't exactly kiss like you'd think a good Catholic boy would.
When he pulls away, he rests his forehead against hers.
"Me and Paco once tried to go into a tattoo parlor and get tattoos when we were 7. I wanted a dolphin, because I was a pinnacle of machismo at age 7."
Re: Gathering
Oh and him getting worked up suits Mia just fine. It might actually let him keep up with her. She's just fine with that forehead contact though, and she nuzzles back against him.
"Dolphins are very manly. They beat up sharks and con humans into giving them fish and pettings by being cute." She gives a wry grin. "They're also all free-roaming perverts, the males."
She hugs him again. "Seriously though... you okay? Totally cool if the big bad general for this mission needs an aide-de-camp." She looks at him unsurely. "I'm at your side if you ask."
