Summary: Who’s idea was it to give espresso to the shape-shifting alien?
Disclaimers: The Runaways' characters belong to Marvel comics, Brian K. Vaughan and other people who are not me. I'll put them back when I'm done.
The weird noises were what drew Nico out of her room to investigate. It was the sound of Molly screaming that made her nearly break down the doors.
Molly appeared to be unharmed, as did Victor and Karolina, but that was all Nico saw before something buzzed by her in a blur. It appeared to be the cause of the strange noises - almost a whirring sound, like an over-sized hummingbird. Nico was sure that they had taken out all of the defenses set up by the Pride.
“Xavin!” Karolina shouted and the blur resolved itself into the Skrull in question. Xavin continued to vibrate slightly.
“What the hell?” Nico demanded, tightening her grip on the Staff of One. Victor coughed, looking embarrassed. Molly covered her mouth with both hands, as if that would hide the smile dancing in her eyes. Karolina turned to frown at Victor.
“How many of those Caramel Macchiatos did she have?”
“I don’t know.” The cyborg said, looking guilty. Xavin blurred again, shape-shifting into his female human guise and wrapping herself around Karolina like a particularly affectionate second skin.
Molly’s loud “ewww!” drowned out the sound of Nico grinding her teeth.
