Fuck.

[i]Fuck.[/i]

[i]Fuuuuuck.[/i]

What was she supposed to say? [i]Oh, hi, I'm Leah. We're both Giants, let's hang out.[/i] No. [i]Wow! I'm not the only Giant here anymore![/i] The thought of walking up to a stranger just to talk about that felt nerve-wracking. It felt preferable to fight her dad in his lab while he had his stupid bird suit on, did she really care that much about identity all of a sudden? Around half a year ago, this was the last thing that would've been on Leah's mind, why would [i]that[/i] Leah give a flying fuck? [i]She[/i] didn't care about mutant solidarity, back when she thought she was a mutant. [i]She[/i] never got the point of it. But now Leah was six feet tall and had rocks for skin (kind of), and she had never even met another Giant, despite being born on a planet covered in them.

Leah stared at the ground. What if that girl was a bitch? What if there was actually space racism between different Giants?

Sabine was right, though. She [i]should.[/i] Thinking about it, Leah drummed her fingers over the hilt of her sword. She was a superhero with galaxy-wide fame, she could handle a damn talk with a stranger.

[color=ffcb00][i]"Cógeme... Preocuparse por nada.[/i] Yeah. I'm going. I'll be back."[/color] She sucked it up and walked over. The list of things Leah was good at outside of fighting was short, but looking like she wasn't a nervous wreck was up there. She did her best to avoid looking like she was about to turn and scram the second the other Giant had enough of her.

[color=ffcb00]"Hey. Didn't know there would be other Giants in town,"[/color] Leah greeted her. [i]Fuck,[/i] she was tall. Was that how tall Leah would've been if she hadn't been experimented on? [color=ffcb00]"You new here? If you are... Welcome to Earth. They call me Leah here."[/color]


[hider=Translation]
Cógeme... Preocuparse por nada: Fuck me... Worrying over nothing.

Marlena cracked up. The tall lady was some bark, and she thought that was [i]fun.[/i] The comeback made her laugh, she wasn't even mad. That wasn't the first time she'd been bumped off, or even the first time she'd been bumped off without even intending to make a pass at somebody. And in Marlena's experience, both of those situations called for taking the out that was given. So she tilted her head up on the tube she was splayed across and put her hands up in surrender.

[color=b940da]"My bad."[/color] She wasn't about to tell the girl she was misreading Marlena's intentions. Yes, she just happened to come to a dead stop where they were, but they were also in front of the tubing area, where people slid down. They were gonna hear conversations if they passed by. But, hey, that was life.

But she did internally grimace a little when the short guy, Carl, mentioned having a thing for Poltergeist's man. Yeah, that earned a second, less telepathically communicated [i]yikes[/i] from her.

And then... Leah showed up with her girlfriend. Marlena took that opportunity to fade into the background a little. She sat up on her tube, skidding it a little on the snowy ground. Then she planted one foot down, swung the other over her knee, and pulled her phone out. It was getting a bit later in the day, but there was still plenty of time to do stuff. Cool, great. She took a moment to text April, to see if they were even alive still.


[hider=@April]
[color=b940da]Hate to interrupt your flight but??? Are you okay??? That looked crazy.

Your teammates came over asking about you. Think they saw you flying over. You good?

[/hider]

[color=b940da]"So..."[/color] Marlena leaned over a little and kept her voice down, so as to not interrupt whatever the two giants were getting up to while she socialized with the ominous floating cube. [color=b940da]"Carlos, was it? Is it rude if I ask what you are?[/color]
