Nah, Juno could just boot her off the cruiser xD And Juno will probably try to assume a position of authority as well.
I think Sam should just move us on to the next mission before the cruiser gets blown up
Just for the record, I'm reasonably confident Juno could solo most of the team xD Or she'd have to wrap him in a force field, because capping Lex is not to her advantage.
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.
Its fun to play her that way haha.
Oh no, I was referring to Belle. The nasty "bloodthirsty beast" who was attacking Fenrir lol.
Enter the team Ice Queen. It'll be fun to see if the mission turns into a train wreck.
Juno Hoshi was starting to seriously consider joining Justice League Detroit. At least they had some semblance of professional standards. They weren't Young Justice, the society, the Birds of Prey, JLI, and definitely not the League itself. But so far Detroit seemed to be a better deal than the Outsiders, who were pretty much scrapping the barrel of the superhero community. For god's sake one of the team-members just made it to the double digits! Just a year or two back Juno had been on the fast track to the major leagues. Now here so was stuck in America's toilet bowl with a pack of rejects. She didn't belong here. Twilight suppressed a sigh and supposed that until things were smoothed over with the big shots then she had to go where they wanted her. She'd just have to make the most of it. Three quarters of the team were complete morons so it shouldn't be hard to get them all wrapped around her little finger in a few weeks. It would mean talking to them though and Juno was a little afraid that taking the air to do so would shave minutes off her life while the inane conversations might literally drain her brain cells. The prospects for intelligent conversation were especially bad if the top contenders were a semi-psychopathic half-wolf, a nascent proto-sociopath normal, a government stooge, and a telekinetic with mommy issues. Still they would have their uses. Especially if she could use Fenrir to get in good with Hawkman and Batman. She still had no idea why the wolf-boy was the pilot or the one on monitor duty. She couldn't stand sitting in front of the screen for so long but Juno was pretty sure she'd be a better pilot than any of them since she actually knew what it was to fly. The way this team was shaping up, half of them would end up painted across main street within the next few missions. Then again if that happened there'd be more vacant spots in the team hierarchy. There was always a silver lining. Juno did her best to ignore the underage furball by reading Gone Girl. Now there was a woman who knew what she wanted and got things done. Then the call for the job came and Juno brightened up. Finally a mission. Time to show these amateurs how it was done. Juno marked her page and collected her cape off the couch, clasping the black material around her before sliding her black headdress on. Twilight floated in the air wrapped in a field of white light and made her way to the cruiser. She did her best to ignore Defender. At least the big oaf would be a good bullet sponge. Juno floated into the cruiser and saw Belle jumping on Fenrir. Juno covered a giggle and smiled despite herself. The sight of their fearless leader being used as a mount for the little girl was simply precious. Fenrir was one of the few members of the team Juno respected but she still thought she should have been the leader. Best to keep up appearances though. Juno grinned and said, "You wouldn't want some help subduing the bloodthirsty beast would you Fenrir? I find hardlight hands tickle even worse than real ones." She covertly rolled her eyes when Defender and Blood Walker introduced themselves, "One would think that we didn't already know each other's names by now. Doesn't really seem in keeping with the team dynamic does it?" Juno simply detested wannabe soldiers. And flashy sword wielders were even worse. At least Wonder Woman and Katana had style. Juno took a seat and waited to be off.
And that's an update, let's keep the ball rolling people. Thank you LeeRoy for your marvelous work on the map.
In the marketplace, Baleno caught sight of many merchants hawking weapons and armor for the upcoming grand tourney. Countless stalls were crowded with both the humblest and grandest of arms and armor. Both High Lords and lowly sellswords perused the goods on display. Some Merchants were honest and displayed quality wares while others were bare faced swindlers pushing defective products. It was yet another potentially lethal game in Alexandria but one every warrior had to play to find his or her weapon. Several lordly heralds shouted into the crowd encouraging peasants and knights to pledge service to this lord or that lord. Lady Marshall Evelyn may have been forming an Imperial Army but every family and guild was still hiring hands to swing swords. It would be reliable income for a vagabond fighter. One of House Charming's recruiters caught eye of the sellsword and called out, "You look like a tough one! Why not enter the service of the Princes of Charming? It'll be a bed, hot food, and girls to warm ya at night! Or boys if you prefer" several soldiers had a laugh at that. Meanwhile as Orpheus was peddling his own goods not far from Baleno, a tall knight in grey plate with white armor and a frozen heart on his chest stepped in front of the bard. It was none other than Sir Donald Hart, Snow White's Champion the uplifted huntsman. He had been well rewarded for betraying Lady Snow's mother the Witch-Queen of the Winter lands. Besides entering the nobility, it is said Sir Hart was with Lady Snow at all times. Even in the bedchamber. Though these rumors also state that one of the seven Dwarf Lords visits her each day of the week and that the rivalry with her sister Lady Rose is actually a lover's tiff. The bearded and dark-eyed knight looked over the goods and said, "I need a good axe Hellan. And a few daggers if you have to sell." Meanwhile near the inns, two different Faeborn chanced meetings with their own respective courts. Or perhaps it was not chance at all. As Tori walked through the city, a long haired and pointy-eared visage came into view. The Lord was flanked by Elven knights in glimmering scale plate. The Elf had unnaturally deep blue eyes and pale skin, his hair was silky and seemed to glisten in the sun as his bright eyes caught sight of her. The Elf cocked his head and said, "I see part of Summer in you girl. A summer light I used to know.... ah. You are Lady Freestone's daughter." The Elf bowed his head and smiled, "Lord Lucien Greenleaf of the Everforest Kingdom. I knew your mother but I never saw you. Until now." Lucien chuckled, "Why is the daughter of Freestone strolling through the streets like a commoner and not a noble? Surely you'd much rather be in the company of your kin in the Summer Court and Elf Houses?" It was likely Lucien knew all about Tori's story but lords, especially Fae, loved their games. Nikolai felt a chill on the air and watched as frost suddenly appeared on every surface near and the commoners began streaming away. A deep sonorous chuckle edged with ice sounded, "Ah. Mab's champion. And here I thought perhaps you would be seeing the Milliner." It was the Snow Queen, Viona, one of Mab's most powerful vassals. With her was a train of Winter Fae, Snow Elves, and other creatures of the dark and cold. The spritely Jack Frost hovered over the Snow Queen's shoulder. The Snow Queen chuckled once more and sat next to Nikolai, the chair coated with sleet instantly, "I don't see how you can abide simply sitting among the mortals. So boring. Seducing and entrapping is so much more amusing." Viona leaned back and said, "Honestly Sir Nikolai. It is quite rude of you to not escort your lady into the Keep. Mab desires for us to introduce ourselves to the mortal royals and so we must. I would have you accompany me in case some mortal needs killing." Fae law prohibited a Fae from directly killing a mortal free from Fae hold but there were ways to skirt those rules. Meanwhile as Agafor entered the keep a Herald from Rus called out, "Agafor, High Warlock, and Son of the Dark One!" Several Rus Lords and Rus Demigods inclined their heads while other mages began muttering behind their hands. Imperium, Celt, and Nord demigods regarded him coolly while the Guardians fingered their blades. Tsarina Vasilia called to Agafor,"Ah the son of the dark one. It's been to long Agafor. Tell me, have you come to offer your services as my vassal or is this purely a well-wishing venture." Vasilia smiled while Ivan stared the demigod down with the knights of Dawn, Day, and Night behind him.
