Viridian puts a hand on Hope's shoulder.

"Take it easy," she urges. "I think she gets it. There's a fine line between being encouraging and lecturing." She gives Megan a smile.

"Take it easy," she urges. "I think she gets it. There's a fine line between being encouraging and lecturing." She gives Megan a smile.

"Sorry. When I get tired, my mouth gets the better of me," she said to both Megan and Viridian. "Anyway. You aren't useless okay?" she suddenly grinned as a nasty thought entered her head. "If you ask nice, next time we encounter him, I'll have Nitro distract him and I'll freeze Assad's family jewels and make a nice pair of earrings for you out of them. It's permanent you know. So it won't defrost," she was only partially joking.

Viridian winces.

"Ew."

 

[kirinke]

Viridian winces.

"Ew."

She grinned at the other witch. "Exactly,"

Blood red lips traced with a tongue they shine, Apollo smirks at the lyrics, he enjoyed listening to other bands music, it inspired him and there was nothing like friendly competition to keep one’s edge. His white hair hung about his pretty face like halo, he felt naked, exposed as he walked the halls, Ms. White had directed him to the infirmary, which is where the team was, they had just finished a mission and now he was the new guy on the street.

On the way to the wedding… he moves like a cultured wolf, an arch of the brow as he spots some of the team members. Instinctively he forces the light accentuate his best features, darkening those areas he wished to play down, and for the most part making him seem more impressive then he already was… well at least he felt impressive, a famous rocker and superhero… not too many people could compete with that.

You taste like tear stains, and could have beens; but I love a good train wreck, he eyes the women, casually glancing at each member as he enters the room. His frame was slim, muscular and flawless. He wears black jeans, stiff boots and a black t-shirt that reads, “God is busy, can I help you?” with the face of a red devil. Apollo’s eyes were golden, and he cracks a winning smile, “Hey I guess I found you guys, the name is Apollo. Ms. White told me I could find you here,” he does his best to sound casual, “I hope I am at the right place?”

All or nothing it’s written in blood.

Nitro is on his way out when he spots the newcomer.

"Woh, you're Apollo Reed! I heard we were getting a musician, but not that it was you."

"Yeah, welcome to the team."

Nitro is momentarily star-struck. Man, this is great! Twice the celebrities turned superheroes, which means we should get even more publicity.

Nitro is on his way out when he spots the newcomer.

"Woh, you're Apollo Reed! I heard we were getting a musician, but not that it was you."

"Yeah, welcome to the team."

“Thanks, I just got in… had to cut my European tour a little short… the studio isn’t happy about it, but I figure it could give me time to write some lyrics and prepare for my next album; plus I wouldn’t turn down a chance to work with Johnny Nitro,” Apollo smirks.

"Megan," Thessaly says gently, taken aback by the tone of the other girl's comment.

"What happened wasn't your fault. That could have been anyone. It could have been Wren or...anyone at all. The fact is that your powers made that whole raid possible. Those little energy...things...you made went in and cleared the path for us. If you hadn't been there, the whole thing would have been ten times more dangerous. And you got through the fight just fine. Asad just got a lucky shot is all."

She reaches out to muss Megan's hair with a smile.

"Believe me, I've felt useless more than once. Like in the Foundry, when we were up against a bunch of robots and half my spells wouldn't work on them. But you guys helped me pull through."

"Great, I was able to blow open some doors. Those don't really fight back. Maybe I'd have any easier buying luck as an excuse if I didn't end up on the ground four times out of four. Even with half of your powers not working, you still came out of the Foundry better off than I did. And you smashed up one of those powerful teleporting robots by throwing it around - the rest of us weren't landing any solid hits on them. Don't sell yourself short attempting to make me feel better."

"She's right, Star. There's one thing you need to remember; we're a team now, not individual supers trying to make a name for ourselves. That's why we are here together. To benefit from each others strengths. We all have areas where we would like to be better at. Even me."

"Yeah, but what does that mean in terms what I'm supposed to be doing? I thought I was working together I'm supposed to. I didn't go ahead and set up extra shots to attack once the doors dropped since we wanted to move together. I tried to get license plates like you asked, and if had been able to tell you where he was and which way he was going, I think the rest of you could have caught up pretty quickly - you wouldn't need to be that fast to catch up to a motorcycle especially since you could just fly over or port past buildings instead of going around them."

It seems like everyone rushes in, making Megan uncomfortable "Umm, don't crowd." Thanks Nitro. Being able to fly is really nice - except when some %*(& turns it off - and I'm good with computers so I guess I have to be fragile, plain and pretty average. While you get to be handsome, rich, powerful, and really tough. "Good luck with your interview, and I hope you find whatever thing you mentioned losing. Thanks for stopping by at least. You too, Wren," she calls to the leaving men.

Megan fails to ignore Hope's remarks. "So I'm not useless, but then if I wanted someone maimed I'd have to beg you since I wouldn't be able to do it myself? Which is it? Besides, I don't wear earrings; I never even had my ears pierced." She glares at the weather witch, "You don't know me, so don't speak as though you do."

I hate hospitals, and I want to get away from Hope. Star rises straight up off the bed, then drops the blanket off with a roll. "Since my injuries have all been healed and I've already spent too much time in hospitals... If you'll excuse me." She turns to Miss White and Red, "Thank you."

She freezes on her way out as Apollo shows up. Wait, I thought Nitro was leaving. Who is he talking to? Is that... Omigod! What should I say - I could say that I'm a fan of his music, but since I have no taste since I like basically everything, that's not much of a compliment and sort of dishonest. Well, I don't really want to meet anyone like this - at least there was someone else involved this time. I didn't know we were getting any new people - Thess can do illusions, she said, right? Megan starts to blush, then flees from the room in a blur.

"Well, at least she didn't throw us out," Hope remarked to Viridian and turned as the newcomer came in.

Apollo Reed? She thought wryly. She wasn't much of a fan of popular music, preferring the classic rock of the eighties and ninties. But she knew of him. Rockstar that fought drug dealers. She could appreciate that. From all accounts, he was a good guy, if a bit shallow. But then most celebrities she met were a little shallow, or pretended to be.

"Nice to meet you," she said. "You did some good work down in Hell's kitchen, took out the Bright Bloods if I recall." she remarked. "Name's Hope Winters." she held out her hand.

"Nice to meet you," she said. "You did some good work down in Hell's kitchen, took out the Bright Bloods if I recall." she remarked. "Name's Hope Winters." she held out her hand.

“Thank you Hope,” he takes her hand, his keen eye sight observing her hand for a scant moment, he had to force his vision back to normal… observing objects so close always revealed flaws…

“Your pictures don’t do you any credit, but then again I have always been partial to redheads,” he glances at the blur leaving the room, “I hope I didn’t interrupt anything; I just wanted to introduce myself.”

“By the way I have to agree with Viridian, there is a fine line between encouraging and lecturing… I suppose that was Star?” Apollo asks.
