«We Could be Heroes»

"I did?" He blinked. Jayne had already struggled out of his grip and was dusting himself off.
Tayn said nothing, face buried in her knees.

"Yeah you were pretty distracted with landing and falling over." Thomas said

(I'm going on a retreat this weekend. See you on Monday!)

Ash gave Mikki a warm smile, relieved that someone had, even momentarily, averted their attention from the unnatural solemnity in the room. "Well, it's great that you found us and you're not wandering in completely unknown territory. Who knows?" Her eyes narrowed to hide the long-dulled glint of mischief. "Maybe they're some hostile cannibalistic natives out there."

No-name clenched her jaw. It was a wonder that the girl was still alive, and it was all her fault. Not that she cared. She should have her legs broken from the fall, or at least scratches, but she appeared unscathed. She moved aside to let the girl into the building.

The man's hauntingly blue eyes followed Ash's, now staring at Mikki.

Ash noticed the stare traveling and discreetly poked Mikki. "Oh, and word of vital advice: stare at him every chance you get."

Mikki smiled at Ash, relieved to see that her friends were okay. For now, she thought, catching herself. "Who is he?" She asked quietly, her eyes turning light green as her gaze settled on him.

Ash stared at the worker who was staring at her and being stared at by Sammy who was staring at the staring.

(I'm here!)
"Okay." Mikki hesitated, took a deep, shaky breath, and headed across the clearing toward the Silence. Do I knock? she wondered as she neared the door.

If one looked hard enough, they might have seen the twitch of a smile cross the man's face, but he quickly staunched it, and his face regained the hollowness that seemed to be the trademark of Silent workers.

Just as she was browbeating herself for not taking an accurate headcount, No-name caught sight of someone outside. The missing girl.
Before Mikki could touch the door, it swung open, and she was greeted with the shifter's stony face.
"Where have you been?"

Mikki jumped. "Um- Well, uh, my parachute got stuck in a tree, and by the time I got untangled, everyone was gone. So I wandered around until I found this place."

No-name clenched her jaw. It was a wonder that the girl was still alive, and it was all her fault. Not that she cared. She should have her legs broken from the fall, or at least scratches, but she appeared unscathed. She moved aside to let the girl into the building.

The man's hauntingly blue eyes followed Ash's, now staring at Mikki.

"Maybe they're some hostile cannibalistic natives out there."

"You're alive!" Sammy squeaked, feeling guilty that she hadn't realized that Mikki was missing sooner. She thought of the plane, remembering the little rooster. "Did anyone see where that rooster went? I think he somehow escaped from my pen..."

(I guess I'll take over Tayn an Jayme if that's alright with everyone.)

Gage righted himself, using Crow's shoulder to help himself to his feet. "Who's that with her?" He said, then his heart pounded in his chest. A soldier. And why was she wearing the same uniform? His wings shot out, nearly missing the dark-haired boy. "Tayn!"

Crow blinked in surprised as a wing flapped an inch from his face. He followed Gage more slowly, picking his way over the mud and bodies. He noticed his broadsword and picked it up with his left hand.

"Yeah you were pretty distracted with landing and falling over." Thomas said

"Oh. Yeah." He said quietly.
Jayne eyed him carefully. He wasn't used to to interacting with inhumans. The wings, horns, and feet were kind of a turn-off. Then he glanced to Tayn. The girl didn't look like she would be bold enough to step on an ant, and yet she had just caused all this. He thought for a moment. Maybe they were more emotional, maybe they were different, but this girl had the most... human reaction to the circumstances. He was about to approach to comfort her, but the wingman was there first.

Gage knelt beside her, hand on her shoulder. He wasn't sure what to say, after all, he was terrible at speeches.

Mikki smiled at Ash, relieved to see that her friends were okay. For now, she thought, catching herself. "Who is he?" She asked quietly, her eyes turning light green as her gaze settled on him.

No-name shrugged, "Gabriel." She said half-heartedly, then motioned to the doughnuts, coffee, and oatmeal. "Are you hungry?"

 

[RoostersAreAwesome]

Sammy sat back down and picked up a doughnut, hoping that it was cream-filled, not jelly-filled.
