Street near 29 Chimera Court, Saturday Morning

[on_her_korhal]

The Overlord set her down a little while out of anyone's view. She slipped free of its tendrils with ease, sliding down until her feet hit the ground. Assessed her position. It was definitely Fandom: the trees and the architecture were as she remembered them.

This will do, Kerrigan spoke, and dismissed the creature. She'd be landlocked for a while, but not out of range for a transport.

Now.

She took a deep breath, and closed her eyes. Bones slipped away out of view. The strange shading of her limbs faded away, and her skin and hair evened out. Part-illusion, par-a real shifting of bone and tissue; the wings were the last to fade from view, pulled close and minimized, obscured.

A few minutes later, her package of Terran clothes unpacked and applied, she was walking onto a very familiar street -- with a very familiar house. Her old landlord's place... might as well pay Deadpool a visit... play good neighbours...

She was only slightly surprised when she forced her way in and found the house to be abandoned.

Hm.

"It could be worse?" Aquaman offered, chuckling a little as he shrugged and tried to make his companions see that they were being just a little bit silly about all this. "It could be quadruple booked?"

And then he looked over his shoulder, knowing that was the sort of statement that brought a new person into the picture.

Even Guy paused in the doorway for that to happen. If it did, he was so just leaving.

No way in hell was he gonna share with another complete stranger if he had the choice. Even if one of them was freaking Aquaman.

...

"No one's coming."

If some of the dry Queen of Blades sank into the tone, they deserved it.

Aquaman snapped his fingers. "Barnacles," he said, shaking his head. "And it was such a good set-up, too. Oh, well. That just means we'll have to be satisfied with the excellent company currently in our presence!"

He opened his arms in a welcoming gesture, hopefully looking upon the two of them and sincerely actually thinking maybe they'd see the light, perk themselves up, and make their new home a happy one.

"...go on, lady. Feel free to give him a hug."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"I think I'll leave that honour to you."

[byneptunesbeard.livejournal.com]

"Don't be shy!" said Aquaman, chuckling cheerfully and descending on the two of them to wrap them into a great, friendly bear hug. "We're all housemates now!"

[onepunchguy.livejournal.com]

Well, at least one of them was a hot chick. A little lacking in the chest, but he could forgive that.

Guy pushed to try and escape the hug, not about to use the ring on the poor guy. Maybe he got a lil' brain damage from being dead. It happened. "I'm fine without."

Kerrigan could feel the fine ridges of what remained of her wings pressing against her back. Ugh.

She shoved at the same time Guy did. "We won't be needing that."

[byneptunesbeard.livejournal.com]

Aquaman would be lying if he said he wasn't disappointed, but he could respect people's personal spaces. Sometimes.

"Fair enough, fair enough," he said, stepping back and chuckling good naturedly. "We have only just met; I don't think I've even caught your names yet."

[onepunchguy.livejournal.com]

...seriously?

Guy would get over that soon enough. Hopefully.

"Guy Gardner."

"Sarah Kerrigan," Kerrigan said, coolly. She didn't add 'Queen of Blades', of course. "Lieutenant. I'm taking the upstairs bedroom."

[byneptunesbeard.livejournal.com]

And, why, even that name--

Nooooo, it couldn't be! Aquaman was going to dismiss it for the moment, feeling that he'd made some progress. "Excellent!" he said. "It is a pleasure to meet you both! And which room would you like to claim as yours, Guy?"

So magnanimous, giving him the choice first!

[onepunchguy.livejournal.com]

Guy glared after her. "I'll take the other upstairs bedroom then."

Yeah, like they weren't all upstairs.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"You're taking the one on the other side of the floor," said Kerrigan, fluidly. And turned on her heel. Because she was going to grab the bedroom she wanted - the one that was necessary for her plans - and she wasn't about to spend more time with the blonde idiot.

[byneptunesbeard.livejournal.com]

The blonde idiot was still beaming. He could already feel them starting to come together as a new team.

"I guess that leaves...the other other upstairs bedroom! Excellent!"

As long as Maxwell 'I'm a huge traitor' Lord didn't show up to lead it, Guy didn't care.

"I shoulda just gone to Oa," Guy muttered, walking up the stairs to find his room.
