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.]

Jonas winced. Busted.

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

"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.

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.]"

"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.

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?"

"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.

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?)

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!"

[identity profile] vision-ya.livejournal.com 2010-01-06 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
No, it definitely would not. Jonas was not in favor of seeing reality warped, and warping reality inside the Bleed or where ever Stacy flew seemed like an even worse idea.

"[It is not fair, Cassie,]" Jonas agreed, nodding back to Nate. Keeping Cassie as far away from the Scarlet Witch, and remaining where she could see that he was not anywhere near the woman either seemed like the best plan for now. "[But we can handle it. That is what we do, is it not? We take things that are unfair and we try to make them fair again.]"

[personal profile] staturity 2010-01-06 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
"The only thing that's going make things fair is-" Cassie cut herself off. "Look, I just want-" My dad. "To be alone right now." She started to walk away and winced. She must have hurt something when she fell earlier. "Damn it." She muttered.

[identity profile] wheresmysuit.livejournal.com 2010-01-06 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
He watched her walk away, sighing quietly to himself. Putting a hand on Jonas' shoulder, he nudged his 'brother' in her direction. He could see walking wasn't comfortable. "You're not going to let her walk on that leg are you?" He whispered. Jonas could carry her far easier and further than he could. And once they left, it would give him a good chance to go find Ms. Maximoff and...sort things out.

[identity profile] vision-ya.livejournal.com 2010-01-06 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
"[Of course not,]" Jonas answered. He glanced over at the other teenager. "[I will find you later. We will need to figure out how to deal with this.]" He was pretty sure he knew what Nate was going to do as soon as he and Cassie were far enough away, and he definitely approved of it. "[Thank you.]"

He pulled away and floated after Cassie, coming landing a foot or so ahead of her and offering his arm. She would probably try to hit him if he just scooped her up without permission "[At least let me take you to the Medbay so we can get your leg looked at, okay?]"

"I'm fine. It's probably just a bruise." Cassie kept walking, for a moment she nearly walked past Jonas entirely but she stopped, sighed, and then took his arm. "But you'll just make me go there anyway, won't you?"

[identity profile] vision-ya.livejournal.com 2010-01-06 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
"[Just a little,]" Jonas admitted. "[After that, if you still want to be left alone, I will leave you alone. I promise.]"
staturity: (shame)

[personal profile] staturity 2010-01-06 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
"...Alright. Just make sure Nate doesn't get himself killed talking to... her."

[identity profile] vision-ya.livejournal.com 2010-01-06 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
"[I will.]"

Perhaps he and Nate were less sneaky with their planning than they thought.
