Heading Home
They could have swam it, but Canada (and Alberta in particular), was quite the distance away from Atlantis. And frankly, what was the point of being a Princess if you couldn't ride in style every now and then? So the daughters of Namor were being taken home (or to the shore, at least), in an Atlantean Royal transport.

It was luxurious, if slightly military, but comfortable to say the least. Marrina sat on one of the couches, idly munching on candied sea urchins. Her father had introduced them to her on one of her last visits.

Her sister. She was bringing a sister home. There were probably going to be all kinds of diplomatic issues involved (especially once Emma Frost found out), but she would do everything she could to keep her sister safe.

"So..." she ventured. "You told me a little about you. Only fair if I talk too. Anything in particular you want to know?"

	After getting Kassia through a brief security check at headquarters, Marrina (who had called ahead), was showing her other parts of the base. "And this," she said, referring to their very state of the art entertainment center, "is what we call the Temple of Boom." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Vents open up, and the scent of almond meringue cookies wafts. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Unsurprisingly, the Temple's creator is in it right now, fiddling with the wiring. At the sound of the pair coming in, he pulls away from the television and nods. "Hey there. Welcome back, Marrina." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason, having been attacking his high scores on Capcom vs SNK 2 to distract himself from worrying (Jordie's orders), just about falls out of his sumo chair when Marrina comes in. He runs across the room to hug her, kissing her on the cheek as well. "You're back!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Alpha Flight HQ sea_shelly 2010-04-07 02:37 am UTC (link)
	Mmm. Cookies. Mel must have been baking. Marrina embraced Mason and gave him a kiss in return. "I told you I would be," she told Mason, giving a nod and smile to Jordan. "Guys, this is my sister, Kassia. Kassia... this is Jordon, and his brother Mason. My, ah, boyfriend." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Alpha Flight HQ little_mermaid 2010-04-07 03:32 am UTC (link)
	Kassia was just a little overwhelmed. In a good way. She waved a little, smiling. "Hi. It's nice to meet you. I smell cookies." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Alpha Flight HQ sea_shelly 2010-04-07 03:48 am UTC (link)
	"That'd probably be Mel's doing," Marrina told Kassia. "She's an awesome baker." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Alpha Flight HQ purplegeist 2010-04-07 04:49 am UTC (link)
	Eventually, Mel comes down to the temple herself. "Welcome back, Marrina," she says, nodding a little shyly at the new person. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey Mel... smells absolutely amazing. This is Kassia, Marrina's sister." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Baking is Mel's other mutant power, it turns out." Mason grins. "She also merges with stuff. So if the oven ever starts talking to you, that's okay, that's supposed to happen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Alpha Flight HQ sea_shelly 2010-04-07 04:14 pm UTC (link)
	For a pretty awesome boyfriend, Marrina was reminded, every so often, that Mason tended to share a little too much. "Hey, Mel," she said. "Those smell great." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Alpha Flight HQ little_mermaid 2010-04-07 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	"You mean baking skills can be a mutant power? I need to have words with my mother. I'd gladly trade my telepathy. As is I burn cookies. Wait...talking oven?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hi. Nice to meet you, Kassia. Thanks, Marrina." Mel tries to keep her feet from melting into the floor as she blushes. "My mutation's weird; sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Alpha Flight HQ strongbox 2010-04-08 01:31 am UTC (link)
	"Mel's mutation is pretty awesome, actually. She can inhabit places, and things. And then there's the cooking. I think that's all talent though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not 'weird', awesome." Mason smiles at Mel, gesturing to the rest of the room from Marrina's side. "Welcome to the Temple of Boom. Fixed up and furnished by yours truly and Jordie over there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Alpha Flight HQ sea_shelly 2010-04-08 01:40 am UTC (link)
	"Everybody around here is pretty awesome," Marrina said. "Emily and Alex, and even Lt. Whitaker." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I dig the merging with the oven thing. Do you know could use that to hog all the pizza for yourself? To keep warm on a winter day? SO MANY OPTIONS!" She was excited. New people! Who were cool! And no, she had not had too much sugar. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Alpha Flight HQ purplegeist 2010-04-08 02:13 am UTC (link)
	Mel smiles sheepishly at all the praise. "And it's a great way to watch the cookies," she tells Kassia. "Meringues get all dry if you don't watch them just right. And yeah, everybody's awesome." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Alpha Flight HQ strongbox 2010-04-08 02:34 am UTC (link)
	"Ok, ok, so everyone is awesome, we all rock... but seriously, more important things than compliments... there's cookies. I think the upgrades to the sound system also need testing. New girl's choice of music." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Alpha Flight HQ sea_shelly 2010-04-08 03:01 am UTC (link)
	Marrina smiled, glad that her friends were all so accepting of Kassia. God only knew how much her sister needed something like this. She couldn't imagine a person doing what Kassia's mother had. "Another upgrade, Jordan?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm probably the worst person to pick music. My mother sort of forbade my sister Christina and I to listen to anything other than classical. How about you guys introduce me to new music? I would really like that."

Kassia was pretty happy at the moment. It was the first time in a long time that she had felt a good balance in her life and was out from under her mother and Sebastian Shaw's supervision.

	Mason's face is all like D: "How evil was your mom?!" He grins. "You... need Daughtry, and Beyonce." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well. My mom stripped my father's memory of my existence. Pretty evil." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Alpha Flight HQ sea_shelly 2010-04-08 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	Marrina felt her face go flush when Mason brought up Kassia's mom. She really should have mentioned not to do that. "Yeah..." she said. "Let's... music. Yeah." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
