Time for the 'meat' and greet

[NOTE: This takes place DURING the holiday plot. If your character is involved in that, then they're still on the surface and not on the ship at this time.]

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their numbers. After the revelation that their worlds are gone, many of them are even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Several people are 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.

[ooc: Only new characters and Command Staff can start new threads for introductions, to limit the number of threads. Everyone else, just tag in and have your guys greet the newbies. The mission is still going on, so if your character is offship, they won't be around for this.]

"[You can,]" Jonas answered. "[You are a hero, Cassie. And when your father comes out of his pod, he is going to be very, very proud of you.]" He kept stroking her hair as he spoke, keeping his voice soft and soothing. "[You can do this, Cassie. We can help you.]"

"We're not gonna go anywhere, Cass." He squeezed her hand gently again, moving closer to the pair so her arm wasn't twisted at all. "You're not alone. And it's like Jonas said, when your dad gets here, he's gonna be so proud of you."

Cassie cleared her throat. "When he gets here, he's going to be so mad at me." With her free hand she wiped away tears from her face. "I just want him here."

[identity profile] vision-ya.livejournal.com 2010-01-04 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
"[I doubt that he will be mad,]" Jonas said, relieved that Cassie seemed to have calmed down a little. "[As soon as Stacy is fixed, we will find him. You just need to hang on a little longer.]"

[identity profile] wheresmysuit.livejournal.com 2010-01-04 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
"I agree with Jonas. I don't see how your dad could be anything but proud of you." He nodded, twining their fingers together for a moment. "We;re gonna do everything we can to help you find him."

Cassie squeezed Nate's hand. "Proud, maybe. Mad? Definitely. Trust me." She imagined he'd have a few things to say about her choice in boys. "...I guess Billy will be happy." She sighed.

"[More proud than mad, I think,]" Jonas said tactfully. He frowned a little and glanced at Nate. 'What does she mean?' he mouthed.

He had not yet made it to the Obs Deck to see the new arrivals.

[identity profile] wheresmysuit.livejournal.com 2010-01-04 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Definitely. I mean maybe a little mad about the whole Stature thing, but he'll definitely understand." What? That's what she was thinking, wasn't it? He hadn't even thought about what her father would say about her and future!Kang though.

He paused, catching Jonas mouthing. 'Tell you later.'
staturity: (facepalm)

[personal profile] staturity 2010-01-04 10:07 am (UTC)(link)
"...Yeah, the Stature thing." She hadn't thought about what he'd think of her stealing the pym particles. At least not since...

"...So how much of an idiot did I make me look like?"

[identity profile] vision-ya.livejournal.com 2010-01-04 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
"[You seem to have chosen a fairly private area to do this, so not much of one,]" Jonas said, frowning a bit more. Apparently whatever happened was too complex for Nate to explain it briefly; but not knowing what had brought this on was frustrating. How was he supposed to fix it without all of the information?

[identity profile] wheresmysuit.livejournal.com 2010-01-04 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
He winced when Jonas jumped to that conclusion, and was just about to start shaking his head, but his 'brother' had already finished his sentence. Nate lowered his head in a palm-less facepalm (both his hands were still occupied after all).

Quickly raising his head again he tried to catch Jonas' attention. He'd wanted to wait until later and tell him the whole story. But the two words he mouthed would have to suffice. Hopefully his teammate would understand. 'Scarlet Witch.'

Cassie thought something was up earlier and now that, out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Nate's mouth move she knew why. "You know I can see you." Busted. She looked at Jonas. "You don't know what happened, do you?"

[identity profile] vision-ya.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Jonas winced. Busted.

"[No, I have no clue,]" he admitted. "[I saw you both running in here and followed.]"

[personal profile] staturity 2010-01-05 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
"She's here." Cassie could feel her chest tighten as she made herself say the next few words. "The Scarlet Witch is here." And it was all Cassie could do not to run back into the other room and shove her out an airlock.

[identity profile] vision-ya.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Ohh. Oh. Suddenly, Cassie's reaction made a great deal of sense.

"[Ahh, I see,]" Jonas said finally, giving Cassie a squeeze. "[I...Would you like me to ask her to keep her distance from you? Or perhaps have Billy ask?]"

"Jonas, I don't want you to go anywhere near her. You know what she did to the first Vision. I'm not going to lose y-" That was something she hadn't meant to say. "I mean, I don't want- it's not safe." That was so not a smooth recovery.

[identity profile] vision-ya.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
"[If you do not want me to go near her, I will not go near her,]" Jonas said quickly. "[I will avoid her as much as is reasonably possible on board this ship.]" There was no point in making promises that he knew he would not be able to keep.

He cupped her face in his hand and rubbed his thumb against her cheek. "[I will be safe. We can ask Billy to talk to her.]"
staturity: (touched)

"Thank you." Cassie let go of Nate's hand and put her arms around Jonas in a tight hug. "I think someone should tell the command staff. In case she's mentally unstable." Cassie said, pulling away from Jonas. She didn't want Nate to feel any more awkward. And, to be honest, she had enough trouble figuring out her feelings when only one of them was in the room. Now they were both here.

[identity profile] wheresmysuit.livejournal.com 2010-01-06 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
He easily let her hand go, his expression remaining placid as she hugged Jonas. It wasn't his place to say or do anything about that. Despite how he might have felt. Though the pang of jealousy that shot through him was...worrisome. "I can talk to her. She doesn't know me. And I mean, I know Billy is her son and all. I think. But if she's from an earlier point in the timeline him telling her anything might be a little much, right? And as much as I like Billy, you guys know how he is."

He stood up, dusting off the knees of his plantsuit. "She doesn't know me. So I'll talk to her, feel out her mental state and all that. I also think we shouldn't let Command know about this until we're sure. Because if she's stable, knowing the adults, they'll just cause more problems for her and everyone else if we say anything. And if she isn't, well, waiting a little while won't matter will it?"
staturity: (grudge)

[personal profile] staturity 2010-01-06 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
"What? No. No." Cassie said, standing up. "No one is going to talk to her. She is crazy and-" Cassie balled her hands into fists and closed her eyes. Deep breaths. "And we have Ms. Marvel on board. She'll know how to deal with her so..." Well, she hadn't done a very good job of that, had she? After all her father was dead. "So..." Crap, she was growing and she didn't mean to.

[identity profile] wheresmysuit.livejournal.com 2010-01-06 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
He paused for a moment, brows furrowing in worry as he took a step closer to her. His voice was calm, placid as he spoke. "Cass, listen to me. You remember when Cap and Iron Man told us they were going to train us? And we just assumed they were on the up and up? Remember how that ended?" He blamed himself for that. If he'd been faster, smarter, maybe he could have stopped Kang differently. Maybe...things would have been better.

"I know it's different now, I'm just saying, we can't come at this assuming she's the same person we know. We have to give her a fair chance. Okay?" He sighed quietly, leaning down to take her hands again and squeeze them gently, reassuringly. "Trust me. It'll work out. I don't want to leave this to the adults. We know how they deal with these kinds of things. And I don't think it's right."

[identity profile] vision-ya.livejournal.com 2010-01-06 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
"[I agree with Nate,]" Jonas said. "[We cannot just leave this to the adults. Sooner or later, she is going to find out about us. There are not so many people on board this ship that we can avoid her forever.]" And really, there was no chance that Billy would stay away from the Scarlet Witch at this point. "[...Cassie, you are growing. I promise, we can find a way to deal with this situation.]"
staturity: (want to keep your hand?)

[personal profile] staturity 2010-01-06 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
Cassie willed herself back down to normal size- or at least tried to. She did succeed in stopping her growth. "You don't have to remind me how people have messed up before. That's why my dad's dead." She was so not going to get back to normal size. "Thanks for being here with me, both of you, but I think I need to go hit something." Repeatedly.

[identity profile] wheresmysuit.livejournal.com 2010-01-06 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
He nodded to Jonas. Sometimes it was good to have someone on the same wavelength as you... literally. He knew Billy would go looking for her the moment he heard she was on board. He only hoped he got to her first to ascertain whether or not that would be beneficial, or detrimental to her mental health. Because having reality warped in giant killer space armadas on the ship? Would not be fun.

"That's...not what I meant." He sighed, looking at the floor, he honestly hadn't meant to remind her of that. "You should take Jonas with you...Just to make sure you don't strain yourself. Okay?" The look in his eyes said 'Please take Jonas with you. We're worried about you.' "I'll go try and sort all this out."

[personal profile] staturity 2010-01-06 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
"No. There isn't going to be sorting this out. I don't want either of you going near her right now. We're just going to- wait for Billy and- think of something or-" Her face twitched as she tried to keep her composure. "God damn it! This isn't fair!"
