What was that strange sound? It reminded Jake of fizzing, bubbling soda. Oh how he loved soda. He would take every chance he could to get his paws on it, stealing it from anyone who wasn't paying attention. Sometimes even those who were. Of course, after drinking it, he had even more energy than he usually did. And that was saying something. Maybe he should lay off the stuff. But it was so good...

The dog raised an ear at the sound, turning when he pinpointed the location. That was not soda. The wall was dissolving. That was pretty weird. But strangely not the weirdest thing he had ever seen. Jake grumbled at the dissolving wall as several chunks fell off and clattered to the ground when their supports disappeared. The rumbling growl only grew louder when the cause of the melting wall appeared on the other side of the newly formed wall.

The brat.

Jake knew she worked for the enemy. Was she behind this? Was she why he was here? He was all set to pounce at Camille when a second person appeared. Jake instantly stopped growling at the sight of Aya. He went from growling, angry beast to happy, friendly puppy in a second. As Aya stepped through into the room, Jake bounded forward. He barged into the legs of a man he had never seen before, simply because he was in the way. Jake rarely went through obstructions. He went through them. He was quickly in front of Aya but then he surprised even himself when he lifted his forepaws into the air in an attempt to hug Aya, only resulting in tackling her to the ground. He pressed his face against his friends in his best attempt at a hug. It was a very uncharacteristic move for the normally grumpy dog but he was relieved that one of the few people in this world he actually liked was alright. He quickly felt awkward about the entire situation though and picked himself up from on top of the girl. He still stood over her as she lay on the ground and looked down at her as he said internally [i]"Hey girl"[/i]

Unlike Jake, Owlman did not have a touching reunion to mollify him. As the girl and her dog had their heartfelt reunion he stepped past them into the gab between the rooms, putting himself between them and the tiny Undergrounder. 

It must be pointed out, at this point, that he was not wearing his trademark suit and hat. He wasn't even wearing one of the cool space jumpsuits. He had fancy space pants on, but even alien technology had not been able to fashion a proper top for him. Add to this that he was still soaked in the fluid from the mindgames chamber, his black feathers flattened down and clinging to his body where you couldn't see through the pasty white skin underneath. He looked like fresh washed hell and he [i]stared[/i] at Camille. He didn't do anything else. His talons rested at his sides. He didn't utter a single sound. 

But he stared.
