Sooo...Meet-y

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their number. After the recent revelation, many of them were even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Brainiac 5 and Sensor were set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings.

There's a lot to tell the new people. It's going to be a lot to take in.

Hi, Fate.

Have a familiar figure barreling into you from behind and hugging you as tightly as she possibly can.

Fate, of course, was unprepared for the sudden tackle. She stumbled forward, nearly dropping Bardiche, but caught her footing before she fell.

Quickly recovering, she turned to try to see who in the world was clinging so hard to her...

"... N-Nanoha?"
starlightace: (My darling Vivio)

[personal profile] starlightace 2009-12-01 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Nanoha wasn't about to let go of Fate anytime soon, just trying to not think about how long it had been since the last time she'd held her like this. She looked up at the face of her best friend - confused and a bit lost, but it was her.

"Fate-chan... it's really you, isn't it?"

Nanoha smiled up at the taller girl, and then all of the worry and fear she'd been keeping carefully pinned up ever since they'd learned the truth about their world came flooding out as tears began streaming down her cheeks and she buried her face in Fate's shoulder.

Fate, needless to say, was shocked. She'd only seen Nanoha break down once before: when she had confronted her after they found out their daughter had been kidnapped by a psychotic scientist. What had happened here that had caused the other girl to crack like this...?

She still had had no idea what was going on, but she pushed that aside for now. Nanoha needed comfort, so Fate wrapped her arms around her, returning the embrace.
starlightace: (!Hold me)

[personal profile] starlightace 2009-12-02 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
It was the breaking of a dam.

The tears started, and they didn't stop. Nanoha cried into Fate's shoulder as she felt the other girl's arms around her. It felt good to let it out for once in the presence of one of the only people she'd ever let herself be vulnerable in front of. Their universe might have been gone, but now part of her world was here.

"You... you're late," she said with a sniff at last, trying to collect herself after her momentary breakdown.

[identity profile] thunder-ace.livejournal.com 2009-12-02 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Fate rocked back and fourth a little, never once loosening her hold on Nanoha as she cried. When the other girl finally started calming down, Fate pulled back a little, one hand moving up to wipe away her tears.

"I'm sorry, Nanoha..." She wasn't even sure what she why she was apologizing... what had she been late for? Had a mission gone bad here? Again she sqashed down these questions, trying to focus on comforting her friend.
starlightace: (!Until the day breaks)

[personal profile] starlightace 2009-12-02 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
"You don't have to apologize," she said automatically before pausing and giving a little chuckle, still interspersed with sniffs. "I'm sorry. I'm not making any sense, am I?"

Nanoha took a deep breath before resting her head on Fate's shoulder. "Fate-chan... how much do you know? What did Stacy tell you?"

[identity profile] thunder-ace.livejournal.com 2009-12-02 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Not much..." Fate said, trying to recall what she had been told in the strange cavern while she was still in a state of shock and confusion. "I know that she's this strange ship we're on... and that we're here to fight something called the Ohm."

Fate's brows furrowed at this. Again she wondered why she had never heard the name before, if they were such a threat.
starlightace: (Lost)

[personal profile] starlightace 2009-12-02 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Nanoha nodded with her head on Fate's shoulder - she wasn't planning on letting the other girl go any time soon. "That's what we were all told when we got here, too. But... that's not everything." For a moment, Fate could probably feel Nanoha tense up in her arms before she forced herself to relax.

"They don't just destroy planets or even galaxies. They... they destroy entire universes, too. Everyone on the ship - we weren't kidnapped, we were rescued." She bit her lip, clinging a little bit tighter now, and her voice broke no matter how hard she tried to keep it steady. "It's... everything's gone."

[identity profile] thunder-ace.livejournal.com 2009-12-02 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Fate slowly felt as if she was going numb. Gone.... everything? That can't be true. Maybe they were just misinformed. There's no way something can destroy an entire universe...

"Nanoha..." Fate's voice was much quieter now, clearly dreading asking her question. "... Who else is here?"
starlightace: (Lost)

[personal profile] starlightace 2009-12-02 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
No, Fate, that isn't your imagination, that IS her grip getting just a little bit tighter, because you are the only thing in this world that Nanoha can be sure of. "Stacy... she said that our loved ones are here too, still asleep in the pod chambers."

She paused, swallowing. "But... for now it's just the two of us."

Her reaction might make a little more sense now.

[identity profile] thunder-ace.livejournal.com 2009-12-02 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
The numb feeling quickly changed to a horrible twisting in her chest. That... that can't.... what about Vivio? Erio and Caro? Could they believe Stacy when she said they're all safe, or...?

Fate's also clinging just a little harder too, taking in shaky breaths in an attempt to keep calm. She has to stay strong. She just has to.
starlightace: (!Hold me)

[personal profile] starlightace 2009-12-02 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
The thoughts racing through Fate's mind right now are things that Nanoha has been worrying about ever since she learned the news. "I wasn't sure I believed her, but... if you're here then it has to be true. Everyone has to be down there asleep, and we... we just have to wait."

[identity profile] thunder-ace.livejournal.com 2009-12-02 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
It was a little comforting to hear that, really. But it didn't stop the small, nagging feeling of doubt...

"I hope you're right, Nanoha." And that's all they could do right now, right? Hope.
starlightace: (!Embrace)

[personal profile] starlightace 2009-12-02 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Nanoha pulled back, looking at Fate in the face. It was her - it was still hard to believe.

"But..." she said, managing a shaky smile for the other girl. "I'm... I'm really glad you're here now."

And then she leaned in to press her lips to Fate's in a kiss that probably tasted a little bit salty, thanks to the tears of relief and worry and loss that were once again streaming down her cheeks.

[identity profile] thunder-ace.livejournal.com 2009-12-02 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
... Well, Fate couldn't say she was expecting that. She was suddenly very aware of the crowd around them, and she really hoped nobody decided to look over at this particular moment.

Her embarassment didn't stop her from returning the kiss, though.
starlightace: (!Secretive)

[personal profile] starlightace 2009-12-02 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
She held it for longer than she might have otherwise, and for the time being Nanoha really couldn't have cared less about the crowd around them because her Fate was here.

She broke it off, and even if her cheeks were still streaked with tears, the smile was warm and genuine. "I missed you, you know."

[identity profile] thunder-ace.livejournal.com 2009-12-02 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
"... I'm sorry," Again, Fate apologized. She knew it wasn't her fault for being stuck inside that pod for however long Nanoha had been waiting... but how long had she been hurting? How long had Nanoha been wishing to see her, to have confirmation that she hadn't been caught in Mid-Childa's destruction...?

It may not have been her fault, but she still felt a little guilty.
starlightace: (!Welcome Home)

[personal profile] starlightace 2009-12-02 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Stop apologizing!"

She'd missed this more than she'd realized. Her arms went around the other girl again, hugging her tightly as she rested her chin on Fate's shoulder. "I'm just happy to be with you again," she said softly.

[identity profile] thunder-ace.livejournal.com 2009-12-02 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Alright, alright..." Fate sighed, placing a hand on Nanoha's head. "I just wish I was released sooner... it hurts, seeing you like this."

[identity profile] thirdeyesighted.livejournal.com 2009-12-02 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
"Always nice to see a familiar face, isn't it?"

Satori floated forward through the crowd. Of course, she immediately recognized Fate as the one who she had seen in Nanoha's mind during their duel. She smiled in much the way that someone smiles when they know something that you don't. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you in person."

[identity profile] thunder-ace.livejournal.com 2009-12-02 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
Upon hearing a new voice, Fate's face turned bright red as she quickly let go of Nanoha, stepping back a few paces. Poor, self-conscious Fate.

"Oh, um... h-hello," she stuttered as she turned from Nanoha to the newcomer, trying to get her racing heart under control. "You know me...?"
starlightace: (Resigned)

[personal profile] starlightace 2009-12-02 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, Fate, but Nanoha wouldn't be letting go so easily - she kept her hand on her arm as she turned to see who it was - and she frowned. "Satori-chan," the name wasn't said quite as affectionately as the suffix implied, "Don't you think it's a little rude to interrupt a conversation like that?"

[identity profile] thirdeyesighted.livejournal.com 2009-12-02 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
Satori lightly brushed off the criticism. "I simply thought that after our match, it would be proper of me to meet your friend properly. I could do so later, if you wish."
starlightace: (Le sigh...)

[personal profile] starlightace 2009-12-02 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't think interrupting a private conversation is very proper at all," Nanoha sighed.

"Fate-chan, this is Satori-chan. She's another magic user," Nanoha paused for a moment, "...and she's also a telepath."
