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.

"You're pretty brutal," the book said appreciatively. "I'd say you're more hardcore than most girls your age."

Katara, at a loss for words with this girl, just nodded. Only ten.

What had this girl SEEN?!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

This sort of thing didn't bother Zetta in the slightest. Demons started (proportionally) young too, after all. The brightest lights and best talents of the Netherworld often showed themselves at a very young age.

"So, guns and pointy objects, huh? Got anything else in your bag of tricks?"

Then to Katara, he added, "Ice power, huh? That and healing?"

Hit Girl snickered. "Just a human, but I'm a fighter until the end. This is the only way you can be a hero in the world I come from: we beat our enemies completely so they don't come back together again. At any point, we could die. We don't stop fighting until we're dead."

She looked over at the water girl. "What do you mean heal?"

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"Damn. Your WORLD is brutal," Zetta said, a little alarmed. Then he parsed something else she'd said, and relaxed. "Oh, heroics."

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Katara nodded, watching Zetta, then the girl with the weird colored hair. "Not heroic always, Overlord Zetta. Sometimes its survival."

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"She said heroic, I'm sticking to it!" Zetta said, stubbornly. "You don't have to destroy your opponents to survive. Hell, just the opposite. You stay so badass they can't touch you... and you leave them alive to tell the tale. But heroics? Leave the evil alive and it'll come back again, and again..."

"Not stupid," Ht Girl said bluntly. "The guys in my world are dangerous enough as it is without giving them room to rebuild. So you take care of a job thoroughly, right? Doubt you want another crazed dragon burning your ass, right?"

She shrugged "The heroes that don't kill their enemies become close to being dead. Logic."

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"Uh, this IS the Sensorium," Zetta pointed out. "I could have another dragon out in no time."

Katara was still pretty blown by the little girl. How was she NOT accepting help to heal anyway? Also, as much as she didn't want to admit it, she felt slightly upstaged.

"We would fight it again then," Katara said, trying hard not to wince. "Just like the Ohm wouldn't let us take a break."

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"Heh. Maybe you worry a bit too much," Zetta said. "You forget I'm on your side. Still... good guts, both of you. I guess it says something that the adolescent girls on this ship are pretty much the most badass people, bar me."

[hit-girl-mindy.livejournal.com]

Hit girl stretched, checking her wounds, then nodding her head. Not bad after being rejected by that cold bitch. "It wasn't bad for a first fight. I would have been pretty screwed without help though."

She turned to the water girl. "Thanks...Katara, right? And you, Overlord Zetta guy. Thanks for the fight. I feel a lot better now."

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"It wasn't at all what I had planned for a group activity, but hey, it worked," the Overlord said with overtly false modesty. "You've got a lot of promise as a sniper... you ever considered a weapons upgrade?"
