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.

Carol moved a piece of hair behind her ear as she listened to him. It was nice to just talk to a guy without the pretense of having something else over her. Like with William, or Simon... She shook her head slightly to get rid of those thoughts.

"In my experience, guys only learn when there's something else in it for them. But I haven't given up hope yet." She gave him a teasing smile.

Owen just looked at her for a moment after that.

"Colonel Danvers, I think you're flirting with me." He put a hand on a hip, smirking back at her.


"...aren't you?"

"I just might be Owen. Is that a problem for you?" Her voice was tinted with every ounce of sweetness she could dish out.

"Only if I'm expected to keep calling you 'Colonel Danvers'." He chuckles, not intimidated, or too ruffled, but fairly amused. "I mean..." He made a so-so hand gesture. "Kinda nicely kinky, but I imagine it'd get old."

[identity profile] marvelouscarol.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well I suppose you're right. And I really don't have a problem with you just calling me Carol." She smiled a bit more. Sure she loved the added title to her name, but it really wasn't necessary. It wasn't like it was true any more anyways.

[identity profile] fast-thrower.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
He smiles, a bit more relaxed. "Well then, nice to meet you, Carol."

[identity profile] marvelouscarol.livejournal.com 2009-08-04 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's nice to meet you too Owen. In fact, it's a welcome relief after the day I had before this."

[identity profile] fast-thrower.livejournal.com 2009-08-04 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Owen groans and rolls his eyes. "Oh tell me about it. Something of a break-up with my best bud slash teammate, black-ops team breathing down my neck to recruit me, and still not exactly well thought of by most of the hero community." He shakes his head.

"But seriously, tell me." He looks at her. "What happened on your end?"

[identity profile] marvelouscarol.livejournal.com 2009-08-05 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well.. we had some psycho with super powers blow up a school filled with little kids. The Government passed a law making anyone with powers register. The hero community split in two and started fighting. Then one of the men who I looked up too as an older brother was gunned down." She looked at her hands for a minute trying to place the events in order. Nitro, the Civil War, Cap's death...

"Fought off an alien race who wanted to kill me. Then had to fight an alternate version of myself who wanted to kill me. Then had to fight my own team because THEY thought I was a shape shifting alien. Then had to fight to stop an Invasion of Earth, which had basically already happened and we were the last to know about it. Damn Skrulls...." She shook her head and sighed.

"Then I found out my power was going out. And some super villain was running around with my name. But I couldn't stop that, and I went off to take out a major villain and my powers exploded... taking me with them." She looked up at Owen and smiled slightly.

"I put my self back together again."

[identity profile] fast-thrower.livejournal.com 2009-08-05 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Owen listened and nodded to all that, but withheld comment that on his world, he couldn't even imagine the heroes having an all-out slugfest like that. The alien parts and alternates, that made a lot more sense.

At the last part, he smiled at her and cocked his head to the side slightly. "In more ways than one, clearly. You don't carry yourself like someone who's been through all that."

That's a compliment. That's clearly a compliment, right?

[identity profile] marvelouscarol.livejournal.com 2009-08-05 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Owen, I've been trapped in Limbo. Toured every inch of our galaxy. Had my DNA screwed with, fell in love with an alien, and been so out of my mind that I nearly killed hundreds of people. There isn't much that can throw me off anymore." She gave him a small smile.

"Though exploding into bright alien light beings.. that was new."

[identity profile] fast-thrower.livejournal.com 2009-08-05 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well damn..." He shrugged with a chuckle. "This whole place must be downright boring for you then."

"It'll be like a vacation. A much needed vacation." She sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. It was true. After everything she'd been through. Being on Stacy was going to be like lounging on a beach.

[identity profile] fast-thrower.livejournal.com 2009-08-06 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Owen's IQ dropped a couple points while he watched her run fingers through her hair.

What? Guy's allowed to have taste.

"In that case we're going to need to find the Planet of All-Inclusive Resorts for some shore leave from the whole saving the universe thing. Clear skies, warm waves, LOTS of booze, and the senor or senorita of your choice to apply sunblock."

[identity profile] marvelouscarol.livejournal.com 2009-08-06 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
"All of it sounds amazing, except the booze thing. Recovering alcoholic." She frowned a bit. The temptation for a drink for the last few weeks. Yet the past year, had been enormous. But she had resisted. Not even Owen's pretty face.

[identity profile] fast-thrower.livejournal.com 2009-08-06 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Owen nods. "No problem. I'll even volunteer to give up my own free time to be your personal sunblock attendant, to make sure you stay on the wagon." He grins.

[identity profile] marvelouscarol.livejournal.com 2009-08-06 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
"That's so sweet of you. I look forward to it." She grins back and moves her hair behind her shoulder. She liked Owen's attitude. It was so different from the men back home.

[identity profile] fast-thrower.livejournal.com 2009-08-06 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Honestly? Not half as much as I probably do." He grins honestly, laughing.

[identity profile] marvelouscarol.livejournal.com 2009-08-07 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Carol knew that probably wasn't such a great thing, but another part of her didn't care. How many guys had she gone out with, that had turned out to be something they weren't? Simon, William... she didn't want to go on with that.

"How about we make it a date then. Once we find out how this place works."

[identity profile] fast-thrower.livejournal.com 2009-08-07 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Owen nods, extending a hand casually. "It's a date, Colonel Danvers." He gives her a relaxed smile, hoping to put her at ease in case his previous crack pushed the line a bit.

[identity profile] marvelouscarol.livejournal.com 2009-08-08 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Carol shook the hand with a bright smile. "It's a date. One I'm looking forward too. So don't disappoint me."

[identity profile] fast-thrower.livejournal.com 2009-08-08 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey, I make it a point not to disappoint beautiful ladies. Especially ones that seem smart, funny, and could probably break me in half with their pinky." He kisses the back of her hand.

"All qualities I find attractive, by the way."

[identity profile] marvelouscarol.livejournal.com 2009-08-08 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Carol laughed a bit and removed her hand from Owen. The kiss on the back was a great touch. She really couldn't wait to talk to him more, in a more relaxed setting. She just needed to locate where to do it.

"Well those are interesting qualities. Normally men are scared away by the super strength and invulnerability."

[identity profile] fast-thrower.livejournal.com 2009-08-08 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Owen looked genuinely surprised. "Really? I mean... I don't count myself as a cape-chaser, even if I'm technically a cape myself, but I've always found power sexy."

[identity profile] marvelouscarol.livejournal.com 2009-08-10 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"I've had boyfriends in the past that only wanted me because of who I was." William had turned out to be spying on her. But that was something she didn't want to think about. "Others had super strength or other abilities.. but the normal people I've tried to date. They run off as soon as they learn I've got super strength. Guess it's rare to find someone like you Owen. Hope you don't mind if I don't let you run off so easily."
