Truly against the norm, Juno giggled again. The little one was simply adorable. She reminded her a little bit of her younger sister when she had been Belle's age. A pang of regret washed over the young hero, thoughts of things unsaid before and after Hiro's death. The last time she had seen Aria was at the funeral. A wave of unwanted memories and feelings worked her way through Juno's mind before she shook her head and they were gone. Now wasn't the time to think about her sister or mother. When she could hold her head up high, then she would contact them again. For now she needed to focus in and get to work. 

Juno hid her inner bristling when Warpath walked in. In the short time she'd known him, she found him to be an uncreative, tactless, and pretentious twit. But there was no need to antagonize the stooge anymore than would be fun and instead of brushing him off, Juno simply inclined her head in a nod when he walked over. She did the same to Thorn and Jaymi. The humanoid plant wasn't the strangest thing she had ever seen and he seemed to be smarter than most of the fleshy team members anyway, not to mention he knew when to keep quiet. 

She wasn't sure what to make of Jaymi yet but he was obviously suffering through something, something about his mother if she could recall. It was not a happy story but time would tell if the telekinetic would hold up under pressure. And he was a bit too quiet for her taste, it made reading him more difficult. Juno was pretty sure Warpath was annoyed by her like she was annoyed by him but these two might prove to be worthwhile allies. 

Juno only nodded at Johnny and did her best to hid her annoyance at him lighting up in the cruiser. She hated cigarettes, everything about them. As for the man, he seemed to be a typical working class rebel. Not a useless one but he definitely had a chip on his shoulder. Juno wondered how he felt about going to rescue the living embodiment of unbridled capitalism. And by god did she hate that cigarette smell. Putting on a polite tone Juno said to Johnny, "Could you perhaps smoke some other time? This is a confined space and I don't believe your smoking is good for Belle. We wouldn't want her to develop complications at her young age would we?" 

Tamashi got her attention and Juno rolled her mental eyes at the amateur jab, "My dear Tamashi, my parents taught me many things like the fact that thin-skinned older men are exactly the wrong kind of person to have drinks with. And I'm not sure what I could learn from someone who seems to take most of his cues from anime and manga." Juno chose not to comment on the man's apparent alcoholism, but she was becomingly increasingly worried for the child's well being. Who knew what kind of secret perversions abated among these rejects?  

Focusing back on Belle and Fenrir, Juno had to inwardly groan at Adam. Of course the military brat would do such a thing. Fenrir seemed to be a tad annoyed at Juno's jab and she filed that away for later use. He was definitely annoyed at Adam and Belle seemed to be struggling not to explode. Juno cringed at the fact that such an unstable personality was made team leader. It was useful knowing what aggravated both of the bestial members of the team however. Fenrir seemed to be protective of the girl, she could use that to her advantage. And she was impressed by Thorn's handling of the situation. Juno was concerned that Fenrir would rip open Adam right there and she decided not to speak up lest she earn Fenrir's rage as well. She was keyed up to intervene but Fenrir visibly calmed down and Juno relaxed. 

She wouldn't mind that much if Adam was kicked out but Juno decided to be more careful around Fenrir and especially the girl. Juno twisted in her seat to look at Belle and Thorn and said, "Flying in a cruiser is fine enough but it's really fun to fly for yourself. Maybe I can take you on a flyby someday? You'd be like a little furry Superman." Juno smiled and a white light hand manifested in front of the girl, "High Five?" Juno wasn't sure if chocolate was safe but every kid loved a good high five. She could smack it as hard as she wanted and not worry about hurting Juno. Plus once Juno went for the classic down-low, too-slow maneuver she could test Belle's reflexes. That would be useful to know.
