Hail the Conquering Heroes

Things can happen without Stacy knowing, that much is apparent now. The damage to her sensors is significant. But the fighting clued her in.

After it's all over, after those captured have been rescued, after the injured have been tended to, only the nest is left, and Stacy takes care of it.

||Infestation of Cluster 42, Level 4, Sector 7, Sublevel 12, Zone 37 has been detected. Triggering internal defenses. Decontamination commencing.||

There is a pause.

||Decontamination complete.||

Simple as that, once she knows the problem was there. Her internal sensors are damaged, especially in the city, and so are some of the systems monitoring them. You have to know what's broken to know to fix it.

Such a simple thing and it only took one man dying to make it happen. (His body is gone, by the way, ripped to shreds and eaten. There's not even a spot of blood on the floor. That's the bugs' doing. The bugs' bodies are gone too--that's Stacy's doing).

||Any injured personnel that still have not received medical attention, report to the nearest lift, and you will be transported to the MedBay. Any uninjured personnel, report to the Living Area, to the restroom facilities to undergo decontamination of xenobiological material. Then report to the Obs Deck to meet your new crew-mates.||

Said crew-mates--and the Doctor, who'd skipped out and miraculously ducked and weaved his way to the lift when he'd realized the Master was there--are there and waiting, and just a tad confused.

Raised eyebrows at that.

"Neat trick, is that an ability or power?"

Pixie smiles. "What's the difference for you? you know, so I know how to explain it better?"

"Well were you born with it like a mutant or something helped you get it for one? Got people with either kind back home."

Pixie flitted around the other girl, studying her carefully. "I think that depends on what your stance on mutants are."

Kate stood her ground, watching her with a smile. Also something hopeful. The way she said that, could it be? Somebody from her world for once?

She then carefully answered, "I'm an Avenger, and a couple of my teammates and friends are mutants. It's not right to limit you. Or us for that matter." Us being unregistered heroes like herself, but she didn't know if that was true for this one's world.

"Pixie, of the X-Men," she says with a grin, holding out her hand. "Well, not X-Men yet, but you know, getting there. I'm a mutant."

[identity profile] nothawkingbird.livejournal.com 2008-12-03 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Kate nodded and smiled back warmly as she shook her hand. She was almost tempted to hug since it's been so long since she's seen somebody who could be of the same world.

"I'm Kate. Also Hawkeye of well we're the Young Avengers. But we've worked with the older Avengers. I'm just human with good fighting skills. My friends Wiccan and Speed are mutants too." And a photographic memory and possibly body memory.

"Oh, that's cool!" Pixie exclaimed. "Now all we need is someone from the Freshtastic Four and we'll have younger analogues from all of the big superteams!" Not that there is a Freshtastic Four...

[identity profile] nothawkingbird.livejournal.com 2008-12-03 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
"Didn't think there was a Freshtastic Four... especially not after some of the crap Reed Richards did a while back. Or was that a joke?"

[identity profile] sniff-my-dust.livejournal.com 2008-12-03 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Pixie chuckled and flitted around. "It was a joke. But you never know. The world could surprise you at anytime. I mean, there weren't Young Avengers or New X-Men until a new generation suddenly appeared."

[identity profile] nothawkingbird.livejournal.com 2008-12-03 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
"True." She then tilted her head, "Wait... oh my god, are you really from my world? Not some other alternate one? You heard of us? And the SHRA and SHIELD?"

[identity profile] sniff-my-dust.livejournal.com 2008-12-03 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's...possible?" Pixie headtilted. "I mean, I've heard that there are some parallel universes that are dangerously close to mine and-slash-or yours so possibly not, but maybe?" She grnned. "I mean, we had the Super-Human Registration Act, and I know that Tony Stark's currently director of SHIELD."

"Same as mine. Oh god, good enough!" Uh warning Pixie, you're getting an impromptu hug from an surprised and pleased Kate.

"I'm so glad to see you!"

[identity profile] sniff-my-dust.livejournal.com 2008-12-06 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa! Happy, happy girl!

"Yay us?" Pixie said with a grin. "It's good to know there's someone here who's familiar with the way my world works."

[identity profile] nothawkingbird.livejournal.com 2008-12-06 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Kate then backed away quickly and apologetically remarked, "Sorry... just been around here for a while. Been seeing people from every world but mine. The closest has been alternate worlds. Including a Tony Stark who hasn't joined the Avengers yet. And nice to find somebody else who understands, you know?"

[identity profile] sniff-my-dust.livejournal.com 2008-12-06 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
"No, I get it, I do," she nods. "I was hoping to see one of my teammates here. Any one. Even if it was, you know, Julian Keller or someone." Pixie frowns. "Still," she points to herself. "X-Girl." She points to Kate. "Avenger. This can work."

[identity profile] nothawkingbird.livejournal.com 2008-12-06 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Keep hoping for one of my teammates too, but yeah, this totally works too," She beamed back.

Kate then added, "You missed out on the giant bug attack. Huge roaches showing up, and some of our people got grabbed. They're ok now though at least."

[identity profile] sniff-my-dust.livejournal.com 2008-12-06 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Ew." Pixie wrinkled her nose. "That's kind of gross." Still, a part of her couldn't help but wonder if her pixie dust would have worked on the bugs. There was so much about her powers that she still didn't know. "How long have you been here? And...what's the 4YI?"

[identity profile] nothawkingbird.livejournal.com 2008-12-06 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm not sure, it's hard to tell time in here. No days or sunlight, feels like some months at least."
