The Outsiders: Meeting 2

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

It was going to be their second meeting, and she already had an idea from Beastboy that he'd drummed up some interest in some the newly pod popped. So she'd been making alterations to the Outsider headquarters all day, from checking out the intercom and monitors Billy fixed (she needed Alex's help for that) to helping to set the new carpet in the lobby to preparing the pool for the training session. It was absolutely important that today grow well: she was going to tell the group she was trying to petition Leon to get them more involved in missions. Even if he said no, there were chances that they as individuals would be pulled into some dangerous situation and then all that training WOULD come in handy, wouldn't it? Either way the training would be coming in handy, as would meeting the people that would come to the second meeting. In a way, the second meeting was more important than the first: the second told you who was staying, who hadn't just popped in for the snacks and a few laughs. She still had those of course: chips and dip and a few sandwiches were already set up for people who were hungry.

As for her, all of this work had already made her really sweaty and stinky, so she was taking a dip in the pool to clean herself off, careful to only do so in the shallow part of the water reserved for small kids: once she was good and clean, she would flush that water out, and fill it with clean water again. For now, she wanted to make sure everything went perfectly. Of course, she was also nude for this, so she figured if Beastboy dropped in now, she'd have to dry off pretty quickly.

So far though: room were all clean, conference room was a-okay and the lobby was spotless. For the moment she could relax. She'd be ready in a few minutes.

"I m-manage." He shrugged, looking off to the side, giving the distinct impression that if he did manage, it was just barely.

"I-I don' r-really r-remember much o' h-how it w-was like b-before I c-could see sh-shadows, an' I d-don' k-know how I c-could really f-function w-without th-them, s-so I j-jus' w-wanna k-know what was d-done. M-more f-for my friend's s-sake than mine."

"Did that happen back at your world, or here? Cause if it's here, I could offer to lend some help looking for whoever did that. Can't stand people like that on the loose!"

Grrr. Vita, sadly, couldn't really know such things yet. And she HAD heard about a crazy AI abducting people, so some crazy scientist around doing stuff like that sounded plausible.

Alex held up his hands, shaking them, "N-no! I-it h-happened b-back home, wh-when I w-was little. P-people h-here have o-only h-helped!"

Vita sighed with relief. "I'm glad, else I'd have to go and hunt them down right now."

Vita, quite visibly, didn't like people who did such experiments. Too many of those screwing up her world.

Alex sighed as well. He didn't like seeing shadows on other people. "N-no, I h-haven' r-really h-had t-trouble on th-the sh-ship w-with anyone. I-it's b-been n-nice actually. I don' h-haveta lie a-about m-my powers anymore, s-so I'm h-happy ta t-tell people."

Those people did a pretty awesome job of royally screwing up his world as well.

"That's good to hear." Vita nodded. "Well, if anyone gives you trouble, you can ask me for help."

...she then sighed. She should stop doing that, it didn't really suit her.

Alex smiled nervously, "Th-thanks!"

Somehow it seemed like he had been collecting allies since he got on the ship.
