Meet-n-Greet

After being released from stasis, having the slime removed from their bodies and clothed in the creepy, pulsing leaf-suit that everyone wore, and being taken to the Weapons & Possessions lockers to collect their belongings, the new arrivals would find themselves standing in the Observation Deck. Round windows lined the fleshy walls, revealing the bright display of lights that was inter-dimensional travel. They would also discover that there were people--members of the command staff and crew that had woken earlier--waiting for them.

That, he did not want to discuss. At least not yet.

"Long story. But that's my own business."

Kon's confused.

"I don't get it. So in your world, the government cares about how people have powers rather than just the fact they have powers, and they lock people up and put collars on 'em--"

A pause.

"Don't the other heroes, y'know, do something about it? I mean, even if the government in my world, say, decided 'Hey, everyone, aliens are dangerous and we're going to be jerks to them!' all the other heroes would stick up for us. Clones get a bum deal, of course, but even then, people don't really stand for the government pulling crap with us--they have to be sneaky about it or else the heroes would stand up to them."

That got a laugh. Heroes actually acting like heroes. He couldn't even the last time they actually managed to do that of their own accord.

"Half the heroes-- Including most of the Avengers-- work for the government. And their main job is to hunt down the other half who don't.

"No one fights supervillains anymore. Considering a shit ton of them are government payroll as reserve Avengers now anyway."

"... Is your world one of those dystopian alternate dimensions where evil is good and good is evil and the heroes never win? I know Kal's talked about one before. Because it totally sounds like it. What kinda moron works for Uncle Sam? Only reason I ever did it was Superman asked me to keep an eye to make sure they stopped cloning people--which I did."
telekinetic_badass: (Unsure)

Julian actually had to think about that for a while.

"...no. But Jesus fuck, we're about three steps away from there."

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
"Your world kinda sounds like it sucks, yeah."

Kon clapps him on the back in a robust and friendly (and probably painful) fashion.

"On the upside, my world sucks more because of the bad guys and only sometimes because of the good guys, and there's a lot of people here from my world."

You are again among heroes, Hellion, so kick back and enjoy actual cooperation.
telekinetic_badass: (Questioning)

[personal profile] telekinetic_badass 2009-08-02 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
"How many of them are as hot as your cousin?"

Cooperation? Wha- what? What is that? Is that even an english word?

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
"A couple, actually, although a surprisingly large number are also blondes."

Shoulder punch.

"Which is why you should stay away from said cousin."

Seriously, his world has heroes that are still heroes AND lots of blonde teenage girl superheroes. What more could you want?
telekinetic_badass: (Smartass)

[personal profile] telekinetic_badass 2009-08-02 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
"What's your cousin's name?" He clapped Kon on the shoulder. "Y'know, so I'll know who I should be staying away from."

[identity profile] supertshirt.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
Totally onto you.

What's a good way to ensure he totally blows his chances when he goes to talk to her? What name could Julian call her that'd put her in totally vile mood?

Kon sighs, as if relenting--it should be noted he's a very good liar. "She prefers Power Girl, but her name is Linda."

Thaaat should do it.
telekinetic_badass: (Sly Grin)

[personal profile] telekinetic_badass 2009-08-02 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
What are you talking about? There is NO ULTERIOR MOTIVE at all.

"Linda, huh? And where does she hang out? Just so I know what places to avoid seeing her."

He is just trying to stay OUT OF HER PATH. That's it! Really...

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
"Why would I--you're going to just find her anyway."

Another sigh.

"She's in the Special Weapons Lab a lot, 'cause she's friends with a few people there."

She fought with Brainiac, so she's been avoiding it.

"Also the Medbay."

She mostly hangs around Obs, the Sensoriums, and the Art Room.

Julian feigns looking offended.

"I-- I am shocked-- shocked I tell you-- that you do not trust me. Do you think I'd go hit on your obscenely hot cousin after you told me not to?

"What kind of man do you think I am?"

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
"But I have a feeling, all of that aside, we're gonna get along just fine."

Seriously, there are very few that can maintain similar levels of cool, which somehow Julian is doing while wearing a clunky power inhibitor. That's some kinda composure.

"Hey, what kinda powers is that thing inhibiting anyway? I'm curious."

"Telekinesis." Was there something a little smug about his grin? "No tactile limitations."

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Very cool," Kon grins, and then adds, "Is that it?"
telekinetic_badass: (Smirk)

[personal profile] telekinetic_badass 2009-08-02 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't have anymore powers, and I don't need them. A powerful enough telekinetic can do anything. Hell, my first teacher, Jean Grey-Summers, at her peak she could bend reality if she wanted to."

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Could she shoot lasers from her eyes?" Kon asks.
telekinetic_badass: (Hellion)

[personal profile] telekinetic_badass 2009-08-02 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
"No, but she could snap her fingers and leave you as a pile a screaming, traumatized atoms." He smirked. "Or at least that's what she threatened to do to me once."

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
"I dunno, my atoms are kinda sticky and covered by an ambient energy field."

"Don't overestimate yourself. But the Phoenix is one of those things that have to be seen to be believed."

"Yeah, well, tactile-ness aside, I'm gonna--" No, you're not gonna. "--I'd be able to get over that in the future, with some work. Time travel thing let me see a future me. And I already blew up every gun in LA once on a temper tantrum. So...well, the only word I can think of is 'neener,' so neener."

He ticks off on his fingers.

"I've got superstrength, invulnerability, heatvision, and a few other little goodies I'm not telling you about 'cause it's dumb to outline all your powers to strangers, and one little power that pretty much trumps all. Forever."
telekinetic_badass: (Oh really...)

[personal profile] telekinetic_badass 2009-08-02 09:47 am (UTC)(link)
Julian just raised an eyebrow.

"And what's that?"
