The Obvious Child

Sep 02, 2006 22:09

There was one person inside the Tower who didn’t stumble as it came under Skrull fire. Kl’rt the Super-Skrull had not been expecting it, but he was able to absorb the shock through his more rubbery limbs. He had healed the damage from the altercation with the Kree over the young emperor, but it appeared that now was the time for another round ( Read more... )

"Then there is another way to stop this." Teddy said, his mind racing. He just needed some exchange, something to make the masquerade worth Kl'rt's time...

He heard Kate humming a Final Fantasy theme and tried not to make a face. Damn, that was going to be stuck in his head for the rest of the day now. He'd need to fill her in on the plan, such as it was. He just needed Kl'rt to agree to it.

Ah!

"Could Dorrek-Vell, or whatever my real name is, get a test-run of both cultures?" he asked. "You know, like, stay with the Kree for awhile, get all sorts of information and crap from them, and then go spend time with the Skrulls before he had to make the choice?"

"If he knew what to look for, or what might be important and stuff, he could find out all sorts of information about what the Kree were planning -- not to mention it would extend the cease-fire for awhile longer, but that's a tangent for another time."

And now for the sales pitch. Teddy crossed his fingers for luck.

"Kl'rt, I’d have no idea what to look for. You would, though. And if we made an agreement that “Teddy Altman” or “Dorrek” or whichever name you want was required to call in and reassure everyone that he was all right, then they wouldn’t dare try to hurt you or lock you up or anything. You’d get information to fight the Kree and I," Teddy’s voice cracked embarrassingly and he swallowed hard. "I wouldn’t have to leave Billy and the others."

Teddy bit his lip. Please let that be enough. Please let this work.

Clint walked into the room in civilian gear, a paper over his face. Apperently he was used to hearing arguing in the tower. He moved the paper down to his nose to see just who was arguing. To his surprise he saw the super skrull, who last time he checked, was one of the bad guys. He dropped the paper and walked over to Teddy and the super skrull.

"Someone want to tell me what the hell the godzilla reject is doing here? Let alone why this place is still in one piece?" Wait don't answer that. I'm going to go grab my bow."

Re: New Thread to Tag In On! teddyaltman September 10 2006, 20:47:10 UTC

"NO!" Teddy said, putting himself between Hawkeye and Kl'rt. "Don't shot him! Please!" he cast a look over his shoulder to where he had heard Kate humming. "Kate, help me out here!"

He really hoped that Xavin and Kl'rt wouldn't start fighting again. Note to self: When planning things involving the Super-Skrull, avoid all contact with other adults.

Clint's hand had curled into a fist, getting tighter in anger. He stared down Teddy, the younger looking skrull and the super skrull.

"Do you have a good reason? Are you going to tell me a guy like that has suddenly switched to the side of the angels."

The tone in Clint's voice wasn't very thrilled about having the super skrull right in front of him. But the kid was protecting him for some reason, it had to be good.

Re: New Thread to Tag In On! teddyaltman September 11 2006, 22:31:55 UTC

"My reason is that I'm asking you not to." Teddy said slowly. He didn't really have a reason, at least not one that would stand up in the eyes of someone who had seen the sort of damage that Kl'rt could do - and had done.

"This wasn't part of his plan." he continued, gesturing around at the walls of the Tower. "It was supposed to be a grab-and-go, but we ran, and there was a whole, big misunderstanding and then the Kree showed up, and--"

He was babbling. Teddy clapped his mouth shut and grit his teeth, breathing through his nose.

Come on, Kl'rt. he thought. Help me. Someone help me..

"I believe," Xavin said slowly. "That Theodore means we need the Super Skrull." Otherwise he would have attacked the moment Theodore Altman stepped away, although now Xavin was calming from the shock. "That he needs the Super Skrull to pretend to be Dorrek VIII."

This needed to be resolved quickly. The violence outside was accelerating, and he needed to ensure the safety of Karolina and her friends.

Re: New Thread to Tag In On! violet_arrows September 12 2006, 02:00:51 UTC

Clint stared for a minute. He shook his head and then responded.

"I'm adding Skrulls to the list of things I hate, right next to time travel. Teddy, I'll do my best to help here. But I got a bad feeling even having him in the tower."

Clint paused again and then looked to the three skrulls.

"Do we have a plan?"

Re: New Thread to Tag In On! ya_rpg_npc September 12 2006, 21:26:42 UTC

Kl'rt stepped between the hatchling and the idiotic human, seriously considering grabbing the boy and making a run for it. It was the saner course of action for all concerned. "My duty is to see to the safety of the Skrull Emperor," he growled at the human, "whatever that make take. What are your orders, Your Majesty?" He deliberatly turned his back on Hawkeye, looking to Teddy.

Re: New Thread to Tag In On! violet_arrows September 13 2006, 02:47:24 UTC

Clint rolled his eyes that the super skrull shrugged him off. Didn't surprise him at all. He stared at Teddy for a minute looking even more confused than before.

"What did he just call you?"

Re: New Thread to Tag In On! teddyaltman September 13 2006, 03:55:20 UTC

"It's a long story that I'll explain later." Teddy told Hawkeye. He was a bit busy trying to figure out what to do about Kl'rt. He didn't want the Super Skrull coming all the way back to earth after the year was up to drag Teddy off, but what if Kl'rt refused to go along with it if Teddy wouldn't eventually go off into space with the Skrulls?

Teddy relinquished his Hulkling form and held up his hands helplessly.

"I'm not ordering you to do anything." he said. "I may have been born-- hatched Dorrek VIII, but I'm Teddy Altman now. My home is here, with Billy and my friends. I can't help your people, Kl'rt. But I know that you can."

Re: New Thread to Tag In On! teddyaltman September 13 2006, 20:00:51 UTC

It didn't look like Kl'rt was going to buy it.

"Look," Teddy continued, trying to keep his desperation from appearing in his voice. "Xavin's going to be here, right? He can teach me about Skrull society and everything so that I don't wind up being just some puppet."

Fuck, Teddy hated this. He knew that, a year from now, he was going to refuse to leave earth again, and this was just going to happen all over again. But he'd have a year to come up with a plan.

"Please, Kl'rt. Just...just give me a year. Just...let me bury my mom."

He hadn't actually meant to say that last bit. He hadn't even been thinking about it. It had just...slipped itself in there and out of his mouth.

Re: New Thread to Tag In On! ya_rpg_npc September 13 2006, 20:48:37 UTC

Kl'rt looked down at Teddy, his head tilting slightly to one side. His lips compressed into a thin line. "What is your plan?" he asked, clearly reluctant.

Re: New Thread to Tag In On! teddyaltman September 15 2006, 19:27:58 UTC

Another explosion shook the Tower, causing Teddy to stumble into the wall.

"I'll explain on the way." he said, wincing and rubbing his elbow. "We have to end this now before anyone else gets hurt.

He set off down the hallway, features shifting as he went.

Re: New Thread to Tag In On! violet_arrows September 19 2006, 23:17:56 UTC

Clint followed in suite, not one to miss a fight. He grabbed his bow which was on the side of a wall on the way. Teddy was taking this in stride, which reminded Clint of the original Captain Marvel. These kids were definitely Avengers.
