Molly had been staying in her room for the most part, aside from a small amount of hall-wandering, since she had arrived. She wasn't sure she wanted to go out without the others, just in case. Now that she was in contact with her fellow Runaways, however, she was eager to regroup, and was impatient while waiting for the elevator to arrive. When the doors opened at the lobby and she saw the figure against the wall outside, she it was the sort of relief she'd felt the first time the group had been reunited after being taken into custody.

WHUNK

Coupled with a joyous cry of "VIIIIIIIC!" the telltale little girl came running out of one of the other elevators just a short time later, the tail of the fish hat on her head tailing in the air behind her. Her headlong run towards him ended a few feet away with a tackling hug, and with her unnatural strength sent him crashing right through the marble wall.

"Oh my gosh! Are you okay!?"

I'm assuming the Molly/Duck log will still happen when you get your room number

[poorduck]

Duck came down to the lobby, not really knowing what to expect. She'd gone shopping earlier that day for clothes other than the leotard she had come dressed in, so at least she was clean and appropriately dressed.

She brightened up when she saw Molly.

[compworetennies]

"Hey, Mo-ooooooooooooolgh!"

Fortunately for them both, the wall was only a divider between the main lobby area, and a rest/waiting area, which meant no structural damage... though it still was destructive enough to draw attention... and leave Vic seeing stars for a moment.

"...caramba..." He sounded a little sluggish for a moment, then finally shook the fuzz away enough to see a concerned Molly leaning on him. "I'm fine... you gotta watch your strength there, 'Princess'." He gave her a smile and started to stand up. "I'm tough, but even I can break."

[pixie_rawk]

Molly quickly looked around- it looked like no alarms were going off and there were no Iron Men to be seen- which was a good thing for sure. She did, however, see a girl walking towards her with a bright smile, looking to be about her age. She smiled back, realizing who it was, and waved enthusiastically. "Superbird! Hiya, come on over! Uh, oh.."

She turned back to Vic, breathing a sigh of relief that he was okay. "Sorry... I didn't like, make you fry a circuit or crunch anything, did I?" It seemed like he was okay though, so she hopped up to her feet, and half-turned back to Superbird. "Vic, this is the girl I was talking about, Superbird. Oh, and Superbird- should I call you that? This is Vi- er, Metalhead, I guess." Considering she'd already screamed his name through the lobby, though, using his codename was probably pretty useless.

Gojira only lived on the eighth floor, and as such, it shouldn't have taken him as long as it did to get downstairs.

The problem with being a now-humanized giant reptile, of course, was that he had absolutely no idea how the elevator worked--it took a fair few minutes of him banging into the doors and growling to figure out that he had to press the V button before it opened up--and since he didn't know his numbers, he simply pushed every single button that looked like the ones he had passed while first looking for his room. 8, 7, 6

[compworetennies]

Victor's attention was immediately commandeered by the large fellow in front of him, asking about a 'Ted-ee.' Fortunately enough, Victor put two and two together, first figuring that he meant 'Teddy,' and second realizing who the individual was.

"You're... ah... you're Godzilla, aren't you?" He couldn't help but stare in wonder. "Ah... Teddy said you needed help with your communicator?" Though what he saw was human, albeit a little strangely colored (and that hair... wow), all Victor could see was the rubber-suited monster lizard from the old movies his mom gave him for Christmas one year. He felt like he was six... or at least, what he would have felt like if he had ever been six.

"Uh... I can probably fix up your communicator." He gave a nervous smile, extending his hand. "I'm Victor. What do you need done with it?"

[gamera_sucks]

Gojira stared down--very far down--at Victor, and then at the hand the other held out for him to shake. He had no idea what it was being extended for, though, and frowned at the hand, confused.

After a moment, he had the bright idea to place the communicator into it, and gave a very, very toothy smile.

"Yes, Ted-ee call Godzilla name."

He pointed at the object with one sharply-nailed, thick finger, then tapped it as gently as possible.

"Need Vik-tur fix metal thing. No read, write."

Gojira tilted his head, gaze never wavering. It was a disconcerting effect--but blinking had never been a habit of his as a reptile, and it wasn't now, either.

"Make other-human letters speak, make my talk be letters. Vik-tur can do, maybe?"

[my_names_jonas]

Jonas had taken the stairs to the lobby, as something was holding up the elevator. He lingered in the stairwell much longer than necessary. He was almost certain that he could not cause Victor any negative effects in this form, but that almost could wind up being quite distressing to both of them.

He took a deep breath, as that seemed to have a calming affect, and headed inside. He scanned the large room and easily identified Molly and Victor, but he didn't recognize the third person. Vision approached the group slowly and stopped some fifteen feet away. He would wait and see if this distance was safe before moving any closer.

I am completely screwing with the log continuity, am I not? :S

[trop_rapide]

Tommy saw Vision staying away from the group.

If he had taken some time to think, he would have remembered what had happened last time he and Victor had been standing too close from each other. Of course, that didn't happen and he practically bumped into Vision as he was getting close to every one to push him into getting closer.

"Come on, human contact won't hurt," he told him, "And by that I mean that you as a human need to get together with people so you can get used to it."

It's all good.

[my_names_jonas]

"It is not the contact that is troubling me," Vision said, as he sidestepped Tommy to avoid a collision. "I came here to 'get together' with people."

He nodded in Victor's direction. "Do you not recall the last time he and I were within striking distance of each other? We both experienced severe interference, him more than me. This is a greater test of my humanity than the ability to feel and taste as you do. If there is anything technological left within me, we might have the same feedback problem again."

[trop_rapide]

"Well, good luck with that." Answered Tommy, not that much interested. "Whenever you feel ready step forward. You can go one step at a time and all. I'm off to making a sudden surprise appearance now."

Without waiting for an answer, he vanished, running at super-speed, to appear in the middle of the group of people fifteen feet away.

Normally, Terry wasn't one to think with his stomach but with recent events and a lack of a proper diet, made things a little difficult. He couldn't help but feel slightly nervous though, or maybe that was his stomach just being empty, it would be the first time he would meet a lot of the other kids.

He had decided to go out of costume, but carried his suit in his bag just in case, honestly, Terry was just tired of being stared at.

[pixie_rawk]

As Victor helped Godzilla and Ducky with their communicators, Molly noticed and waved to the new people that showed up- some she knew, like Vision, and some she didn't. One such fellow, she noticed, looked a little reluctant to join the full group, so she went up to him instead.

"Hi there!" She grinned up at Terry, dusting marble dust off of herself and fixing her rather silly-looking fish hat. "Princess Powerful! And which one are you?"

[tomorrowsknight]

He was feeling awkward again, just like in the snowcone party, it was ridiculous. Terry couldn't help it though, he was, right now, standing unmasked in front of a bunch of other teenagers who were also pulled from their world into this one.

It was unusual for him to be so out of it, after all, he was Batman and Batman was supposed to be alert and aware of the situation. If Bruce could see him now, he would probably beat Terry down with his cane.

Out of the blue, a young girl, a middle schooler at most, stood in front of him, smiling widely.

"O-oh, I'm Terry..." he looked down at her with a puzzled look. Her name was familiar.. and of course it hit him late. "Er--I'm Batman, actually..."

[pixie_rawk]

"Woah! You're The Batman?" She looked him up and down, face taking on a rather unimpressed expression. "... You don't look like a bat all that much... No wings, no little clawed feet, no big pointy ears, no sharp teeth-" She quirked a brow. "Or do you like, turn into one, like Dracula or something?" She leaned in, examining him.

"Whatever, well, you should join us anyway!" And she grabbed onto his arm with a yank- not a powered one necessarily, but strong enough that he didn't really have a choice, dragging him towards the group of other supers. "Hey everyone, it's-!" She turned back to him and whispered, "Hey, did you wanna be called Terry or Batman?"

[trop_rapide]

Tommy was already starting to grow a little tired of eating pizza. Nothing dramatic yet, but he'd have to start eating something else at one point. When he saw the get together invitation on the board, he only hoped they wouldn't go eat pizza

[gamera_sucks]

It simply couldn't be helped--he had been standing in a group full of people that Teddy had implied were nice, when said bunch of kids was abruptly invaded by an unfamiliar human.

Being in possession of a hair-trigger temper, a grand lack of tact, and the automatic assumption that any stranger whose voice he didn't recognize or wasn't already there waiting was more than likely there to do evil, Gojira bellowed and grabbed at the new person--and when a seven-foot-tall block picks you up by the shoulders and shakes you, well, you know you've done something a little less than brilliant.

"Who are you? What you want!?"

The faint glow of bluish-white edging his hair suggested that the newcomer would do well to answer him as quickly as he'd appeared.

[trop_rapide]

When Tommy showed off, it was because he found it amusing. Not to freak out some imbecile with possibly super-strength who had never seen a teleporter or a speedster in his life into picking him up and shaking him.

He was being shaken by a 7-feet tall guy who couldn't speak English properly.

Trying to struggle away would obviously have no point and no result, and so Tommy entered in a fight with someone he didn't know but was supposed to be an ally by the look of things and placed his hands near the ones holding his shoulders and moved them.

The molecules in the air around the stranger's hands and those on their surfaces lost their stability nearly instantly and it created an explosion. If that didn't hurt him enough to make him drop Tommy, the next explosion would make his entire hands blow up and then we'd see if he could still crush Tommy's shoulders.

hey, hey, does this mean Speed counts as 'fast food'? XD

[gamera_sucks]

It hurt a hell of a lot more than he'd thought it would; human skin was apparently a good deal weaker than his previously-scaly hide had been, and what would have maybe tickled before now felt really, really bad. It was enough to make him let go with one hand, which he shook in pain (did he still even have a hand?--yes, it was there, fortunately) growling loudly--but he maintained the grip on one shoulder with the other, squeezing even tighter now.

Yes, this creature was definitely a Bad Thing.

And, of course, the best way to dispose of a Bad Thing was to blow it up.

"...I break bad magic human," he snarled, pulling Speed closer--close enough to see the brilliant white light building in his mouth.

He wasn't paying attention to anything else going on around him, true, but hey.
