Get you Gone
The meeting is over, the teams have been assigned, the plans have been laid out. It's time to get weapons.
It's time to wish each other luck, and say goodbyes--with the hope that they're only "good bye for now"s.
It's about to get very hairy from here on out.

"...You're giving it to me so that I'm obligated to return it." That's what she means by it, yes? "As, to return it, I would most certainly have to still be alive."
He's not sure what to make of this, and for a moment he seems a bit lost.
"Is it strictly your own, or does it hold some sort of sentimental value for you?"
no subject
She swallows hard when he asks about it's value.
"It was my Mom's." she says quietly, lifting her chin and sucking in a breath against tears welling up. "It's uhm... well it's the only thing I have from home here on the ship so... I don't even mind if you keep it, Brainy. I just want you to come back okay? I don't think I can take burying a friend like you on top of everything else."
Brenda smiles at him but it's strained, encouraging and desperate all at once.
no subject
Not the most tactful, but it's neither positive or negative-sounding.
But if she's unclear at all of how he's feeling about it, the fact that he tucks it into one of the pockets of his plantsuit--which he then seals, making it so it will be even more difficult to lose--says something.
He snaps his fingers at Koko to get his attention.
"If you wouldn't mind horribly, I could use someone to care for Koko. He's also occasionally useful. You might perhaps have need for his assistance."
no subject
Brenda smiles when Brainy mentions the monkey and hold out her hand toward the little guy.
"Awww, you'd trust me with your monkey?" she says, beaming and clearly pleased. She's always been curious about Koko, truth be told. "Of course I can look after him."
no subject
"Of course."
He'd trusted her with very personal information, after all.
"Well, I suppose I should be going to congregate with the others..."
no subject
"This'll be just a walk in the park for someone who saved all of time. Just... be careful anyway. I'll see you when you get back."
no subject
Brainiac...actually hugs her back, if briefly, and during the hug there is a brief gentle touch of his hand to the center of her back.
Anyone that thinks Brainiac 5 is an unfeeling, arrogant prude might realize they only have two out of three right, if they see it. Unfeeling? Not at all. He misrepresents himself horribly, in that respect.
"Your situation could be perilous as well, so please...take care."
It feels...good to have someone to say this to, and to have someone to say it back. Usually, he's running right into the midst of the danger with the Legion, and they're the only ones that would.
Of course that means this comes with the emotional difficulties of worrying about someone, but it brings clarity to the importance of his mission--they must do what they need to do as quickly as possible, and try to prevent any possible negative consequences from occurring to the crew they leave behind.
no subject
"I'll be careful, don't worry." she promises, reaching up to stroke Koko's head soothingly.
"I'll see you soon."
