Project Daedalus (Issue #4)

The Osprey
"Exotic, hey? Don't think I've ever been called that before," she says with a bit of a laugh.

Misha just gives her his trademark killer smile.

"What did Jen tell me...wouldn't you like to know?" she replies teasingly. "She told me about your date last night. You must have made quite the impression, because last week she was saying how she swore she'd never bother with a relationship again. By the sounds of it, she might have changed her mind," she adds with a impish grin.

Misha just shakes his head with a smile, giving Miguel a sideward glance, "I stand corrected, I guess there are some ladies I don't mind monopolizing..."

As everyone piles out of the two vehicles, Tyrone's mama sticks her head out of an open window and calls out, "Lands sakes, boy! Don't be telling me you invited all the patrons at the coffee shop for dinner again!"

Misha steps out last, initializing the security system and then tucking his keys away. He smiles to Tyrone's mom, "Good Evening," he says while helping Tyrone take some of the groceries inside.

"No coffee shop this time, mama. Just uh... the entire Aegis team. Maybe some quick introductions," he says quickly, trying to avoid the tirade and get to the saving his own ass part.

"This is Aaron. He's the kid I keep tellin' you 'bout that you made that costume for. And this is Sarah, the cop I keep tellin' you about..."

"Good, she can hold you down while I..."

"And Kiro from Japan; the one with the light saber. And oh, this is Rachel. I know she looks like a wolf, but..."

"Boy, if you think that thing is gettin' fur everywhere in my house I'll..."

"No no, she's not an actual wolf. She's human, really! And she doesn't shed hardly at all. Her clothes are here. She just needs somewhere to change back. And that's Misha, who you don't know about, but I'm sure you'll like, and you know Miguel there and..."

"Alright girl," Mama says to Rachel. "You get into the bathroom here and change and let me have a proper look at you then. And it's afternoon boy, don't think your smile is gonna save him. You bring those bags up to the kitchen now and we'll see what that boy of mine bought," she says to Misha. "And don't let me see you being lazy, you grab some too, Miguel. Alita's in the living room. Girl's been glued to the television all day." Tyrone lets out a sigh of relief. "Oh don't think you're off that easy, boy! Just where am I gonna find the food for all these people? You don't give me no warning? What do I always tell you?"

"To wear clean underwear if I'm going out? Hey, is that your blue dress? You always look good in that dress, Mama," Tyrone compliments before continuing. "Um.. that's Jennifer, who can control cold, and that there is Cumulous, from American Freedom..."

"And no weather those girls can conjure up is gonna save you from a whuppin' boy, any more than you complimentin' me is, especially with you talkin' sass."

"Oh and uh, did I mention Neutron is on his way here," he finishes with a big smile. "So, I guess I should just go and fire up the barbeque?"

OOC: Shoot me for having fun with it

 

[Tokiwong]

Misha just smiles listening to Tyrone and mama banter, Now I see where he gets that mouth of his.

"And it's afternoon boy, don't think your smile is gonna save him. You bring those bags up to the kitchen now and we'll see what that boy of mine bought," she says to Misha.

Misha shrugs, "Good afternoon then," he brings the bags inside, and places them down on the table, counter, or any flat surface he can find. Once he puts them down, he quickly leaves that area to Tyone's mama.

Consider yourself shot.

"Boy, if you think that thing is gettin' fur everywhere in my house I'll..."

"No no, she's not an actual wolf. She's human, really! And she doesn't shed hardly at all. Her clothes are here. She just needs somewhere to change back. And that's Misha, who you don't know about, but I'm sure you'll like, and you know Miguel there and..."
"Alright girl," Mama says to Rachel. "You get into the bathroom here and change and let me have a proper look at you then."

Rachel had at first leapt from the car to start investigating everything, but when she was confronted by Tyrone's mama, she gave a whine, and put her paws above her muzzle, and looked up at the woman, like a puppy that knew it was guilty of something, and was just trying to look cute to avoid the punishment. She looked around guiltily at the others before she seeme to swell up. Her form slowly became less quadraped and more humanoid, until she stood on two thickly muscled hind legs.

Its easy to see that this new form wouldn't fit into any clothing that her human form might wear, she stands over 8 feet tall, with muscles rippling at her every move. She smiles at everyone, something that would be a lot more comforting if it didn't like like she could bite a peson in two with a single bite of her very pointy glistening white teeth. The werewolf stalks off through the house making everything around her look tiny and flimsy in comparision, and when she emerged from the bathroom a few minutes later, it was hard to reconcile the slender athletic teenager with the hulking overly muscled were-wolf.

"I just wanted everyone to see me in my other forms, so you guys wouldn't freak out if I have to shift or something," she explains nervously, hoping she hadn't put off her new packmates too much, she could certainly understand disgust and fear of her inbetween form. Those paying attention to her can notice that she is nervous just like she was before, and pretty much the opposite of how she was as a wolf.

"Nice," Misha replies, "not as scary as I thought. I don't think you have to worry too much, these guys used to run with a minotaur fellow... if I recall the reports. Wolves are cooler then bulls, in my book anyways," he clasps her shoulder.

"Animals are not my thing, but your power is very intriguing Rachel," Misha comforts her.

"And don't let me see you being lazy, you grab some too, Miguel. Alita's in the living room. Girl's been glued to the television all day."

Way to pimp out Neutron Amigo, Miguel whispers to Tyrone as he gets a bag of food.

He will go to the kitchen and drop it off once that's done he will head towards the living room stopping Rachel once she comes out of the bathroom. Very cool ability chica, nothing to be ashamed of.

Once in the living room, Miguel will jump onto the couch beside where Alita is sitting. Hey chica, you miss me? I... um... I kind a got you something. I figure now that I'm going to be pulling in the big money we could go out and celebrate somewhere real fancy and you could wear this. Miguel tells her as he gives her the bag with the dress in it.

 

[Elementor]

"Hi Mrs..... ummm.... Tyrone's mom. It is really nice to meet you. Thank you for letting me stay over."

"I just wanted everyone to see me in my other forms, so you guys wouldn't freak out if I have to shift or something," she explains nervously, hoping she hadn't put off her new packmates too much.

Aaron doesnt look taken aback at all by her shapechanging, "I bet I can change form faster than you," he says with a smirk as he heads for the back of the house looking for a yard to play in.

 

[Agamon]

"Neutron? Oh my," Mama says, her demeanor brightening immediately. "Why didn't you say so right away, boy? Pleased to meet all of you," she says with a big smile. "We'll whip you folks up a barbeque diner you won't soon forget! So what did you bring..." She pauses as Rachel changes form and lopes into the house. "My goodness. I suppose I'll need to get used to that sort of thing now," she says, shaking her head.

Aaron finds a back yard. It's rather small, but neatly kept with a small flower bed against the house, a sidewalk leading to the alley and trimed grass besides.

Sarah, noting everyone else is involved, moves around to the other side of the house alone.

Miguel, finding Alita, plops down beside her, before he notices she's not really acknowledging him. The TV is tuned to CNN, so she likely was watching the team's press conference, but she's not really focusing on that, either. In fact, she has her knees tucked up to her chin, and she's rocking slightly back and forth and shaking quite profusely. She finally looks towards him, her face turning ash white, and sobs, "Oh god, it hurts," and turns back to bury her head between her knees.

"Hey, you put up with me. This group won't be that bad," Tyrone jokes as he unloads the groceries. Taking a look into the living room he sees Alita. "Poor girl," Tyrone says quietly to his mama. "Has her withdrawal been that bad all day?"

Once done, he gets the lawn chairs and other needed furniture up from the basement and out from the shed. He'll put the drinks in the cooler with ice on the picnic table and start the coals going on the barbeque. He pops upstairs and pulls out Aaron's costume and lays it out on his bed then goes to find Aaron before coming back into the back yard.

"Yo, kid. Run upstairs, second door on the left. Somethin' on the bed for ya," he says with a grin.

Well, lets see... should be about ten minutes before the Tyrone stories start from mama, Tyrone says, smiling to himself.

 

[Hammerhead]

"Good evening, Mrs. Carter," Jennifer says with a pleasant smile; the arrival at Tyrone's home had snapped her out of the reverie that occupied much of her thoughts during the car ride.

Gesturing to the crying woman, she turns towards Miguel. "Who's she?"
