Meet-n-Greet

[cityship]

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.

"Could she shoot lasers from her eyes?" Kon asks.

"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."

"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."

Julian just raised an eyebrow.

"And what's that?"

[so-pregnable.livejournal.com]

"X-Ray Vision."

[telekinetic_badass]

Julian rolled his eyes.

"So I'm supposed to be impressed that you can see everyones bones?"

[so-pregnable.livejournal.com]

"Well, it can do that, and it can be handy, but only if you focus too hard. Let's just say the girl's locker room at school has a very thin wall, and let's also just say that most hot chicks don't wear lead-lined clothes."

"...you're shitting me."

He points to his grin.

"Does this look like the grin of a young man lying about being able to see through women's clothing?"

No, it does not.

[telekinetic_badass]

...

Shoulder punch!

"You fucking asshole!"

Yes, Julian may actually concede that X-Ray vision pwns all. He just won't do that out loud.
