I'm in, sounds dope

Young Justice

Quiver took it all in - their newest assignment, their new temporary roles. He felt himself stifling a yawn - not out of boredom, but due to lack of sleep after the trip from yesterday. Quiver had left before the others, thinking to get a workout in the gym before calling it a night. He was particularly motivated. The awkward encounter he was privy to between Nymph and Rain had unsettled him. He wasn't however 100% sure of in what way he was most bothered. He felt a nice moment he had with Nymph now had this asterisk on it. Like he wasn't actually a part of it, but instead a prop of some kind. He wasn't a third wheel exactly, but he sort of felt...

He shook it off. He was focused now.

He was interested in this Origami character. Black Canary and Batman had said she was used like some sort of asset. Quiver knew what that was like. From where he came from with the Court of Owls - all of his brothers from his youth - he had an idea of what this woman's experiences were like. Quiver was surprised to find that he already was feeling sorry for her. Wanting to help her.

He guessed the "hero" thing was really starting to catch-on to his mindset.

"And who is going to bodyguard for who? Have you assigned that as well?" Quiver asked, his hand tentatively raised beside him. He glanced over at Rain and then Nymph, wondering if they were thinking the same thing he was.

This is pretty cool, I'm interested but don't want to get too lost by the mechanics. Do you have a demo character so we can see an example of their vows and icons and stuff? Just to get a feel

Quiver had been blushing a dark red when Daphne had cried out and jumped on him, he felt the skin of her thighs as he tried to secure her from whatever was attacking her under the water, nearly lost his balance, and definitely his sunglasses. It was only a moment before suddenly Rain was upon both of them. He was looking at Quiver with an intensity even a bit more fierce than a look he'd wear during sparring. In his hands he held a crab - undoubtedly the dangerous culprit of Daphne's fierce attack.

"Keep your claws off Daphne" he said, but it was Quiver he was looking at.

Quiver felt heat blossom in his face - this time the kind that came with irritation, and growing anger. Quiver meant to say something, a snap of his own, something witty and vicious, but hesitated.

Am I threat to you, now?

Quiver watched Rain say something to Daphne, and then he was off, shuffling up the beach.

Now you take me seriously...

Quiver cleared his throat, aware that he probably looked like he was itching for a fight while his rival's girlfriend was still clasped around his shoulders.

"You know, if that crab had pinched me instead, I don't think Rain would have gotten here quite as fast."

He leaned down (he didn't have to go far) and helped her back onto solid enough ground. He smiled at her, and noticed a look in her eyes. Concern? Worry? He froze for a moment. He had thought this situation was more about him, but he was just really a collateral piece. And now he wondered if Daphne was concerned for trouble for herself.
"I needed the help - I burn easily. Brooding in the dark too much, you know how it is. And those hard to reach places, you know how they....go."

Good morning gang!

Sorry for the lengthy absence, fatherhood called and all that jazz. But my day to day is now back to being available and want to get a sense of anyone still available and interested in continuing! No hard feelings I know there was a sudden interruption in flow, but I'm happy to dive back in either way!

With thanks

Hey gang!

Sorry I know I said I am working on a post, just got a bit of a delay on my end

(In real life, I’m at the hospital awaiting the birth of my first kid lol. Mom is currently sleeping so I thought I’d catch you up, didn’t want to leave you all in suspense!)

I’ll make it worth the wait I promise.

Quiver's eyes grew wide. Did this guy just mistake him for RAIN of all people!? He felt his face grow hot and felt steam blowing out of his ears. How could he have made such a mistake?

He looked over at the boy laying with Zatara and knew it must be Mateo - Zatara's boyfriend. His initial instinct was to yell out very animatedly and say something about how he obviously wasn't Rain as he was clearly way stronger looking and cooler!

Instead he gave Mateo an incredibly awkward thumbs-up, grimacing.

....and I'm an excellent swimmer...

He looked back at the ocean, watching the clear blue waves crashing against the shoreline. He could smell the grill working overtime for Talos, and the sounds of his teammates splashing around having fun. As he looked at the horizon, he felt the beach quiet around him, droning to silence as Quiver let only the sounds of the waves and crying gulls above were in his ears. He could feel the cool water running over his bare feet, and felt himself sinking into the wet sand.

He closed his eyes, despite the dark glasses that shielded his vision and felt the sun on his face. Moments later, the sounds and feeling of everything around him moved to the backward, as his sense of smell suddenly took priority - that aromatic flowery smell that signaled Daphne's approach. She stood slightly off to the side, gesturing with a bottle of sunblock.

"I think you really need to use some of this if you're going to stand out here for a while." She said softly.

He acknowledged her quietly, a comfortable and familiar silence. Something they were sharing a lot of recently. After the pro hero internship they all went on, Quiver's time had been a little in flux with his attentions. Between his recent new sessions with Black Canary, his frequent visits back to Star City, and a new emotional entanglement that was causing him various kinds of frustrations and concerns, he wasn't around at the base as often as usual. He wondered if Daphne noticed, and wondered if she thought maybe he was intentionally avoiding him. It was possible, if not entirely conscious. Now however, she was wearing a beautiful swim dress, again a sort of tribute to her connection to plant life. She looked ethereal standing next to him.

As she drew closer, Quiver felt himself grow tense. The flowery scent filling the air, even over the coconut-vanilla smell of the lotion. Her soft fingers against his skin raised the small hairs on the back of his neck. He felt his cheeks go red and he looked down at the sandy beach beneath his toes, trying to focus on the broken shells just out of view beneath the surface of the water. This gesture of kindness, her touch, he was grateful for both. He wondered if he could feel the violence on his skin. His time as a young Talon - a trained assassin by the Court of Owls - had subjected him to Electrum Treatment - a metallic alloy that grants it's assassins a type of light immortality that would allow them to reanimate muscle tissue and organs. Due to his low level as a trainee, he was given a primitive batch, and in his particularly damaging injuries, his scars and wounds would heal with the veins turning black in that area. Luckily they hadn't spread to any areas that weren't too noticeable. But the wound received from The Beast still had it's blackened tissue along his ribs. Not exactly the hot beach bod most teens would have wanted.

Quiver half smiled at Daphne's joke, remembering back to their first meeting. So much had happened since then, and even though she wasn't actively choking him, he was still struggling with speaking.

"Th-thanks. That's why I'm nervous, the threat of danger - definitely not the pretty girl rubbing my shoulders." He screamed internally

God damn it Ollie you are the worst possible influence

"Sorry, I shouldn't make jokes like that. Things being...the way they are." He looked over at Rain, who was currently judging some sort of underwater hand-stand contest between Mirage and Mateo. His brows furrowed.

"Feels like there's a lot of changes happening with us all at once. Including one of us actually having a new personality. Mirage makes it look easy, the way she feels. But with kidnappings, disappearances, and now you and - or whatever is happening with the others. I know I haven't really been...er...available to talk recently. There's just...a lot going on. Has everything been...good? Are you good? Things...good?"
