Marlow Gets a Makeover (open)
Downtime after the Defenders/Offenders war gave Marlow plenty of time to think about the spells she'd used and their effects. She'd knowingly overreached several times for magic she didn't think she should be able to wield and had done so easily. It was something she had to figure out before their next battle. She tried to contact Clea but those particular spells weren't working so well. Perhaps it was something she could talk to Matt about since he was the only other magic user she knew that might not get agitated when she said power surge.

Sure, there was Dawn...or was it Aslief? Who knew anymore. One was nice but untrained, the other expert and dismissive. While the others merely overlooked her, Aslief literally did not see her until there was a need for another sorceress.

Barefoot, wearing a boy's black tee shirt and faded to nearly white jeans, she made her way from the bungalow to the main house for a late breakfast. A ball of pulsing light hovered a few inches above her open palm.

"I don't have any, but Sydney doesn't like it when we make a mess." She nodded in Syd's direction as she said it, but she continued to look up, up, up at the big green guy. Big and green didn't bother her; she'd seen much stranger things in the Dark Dimension. He even seemed friendly.

Titan looks to Sydney. "Aw, Sydney! Can we bounce the bad guy off a wall or two? Pleeeease? I promise to leave at least half for the cops. It'll be fun!" Titan pleads, much in the vein of Zoey.

"So...can I walk you lovely ladies to your car? Or home? You never know what kinds of crazies are out there just waiting to pick a fight. I could hold 'em all off for ya." he says, looking down, down, down at Marlow.

She must be the leader of this merry little band, seeing as how she's doing all the talking. Titan figures this one is the dynamite.

"No," she said firmly. "I'm glad we were able to do this without some wide-scale destruction for a change. The authorities will handle this and take him into custody."

"For once the Defenders haven't caused massive destruction. Hell must be freezing over."

The Defenders?

The Defenders?

Oh, Argo will love hearing this.

"Wait, you ladies are with the Defenders? Small world. My brother, Argo, used to hang out with you guys. Is he here with you or are you gonna see him soon?" he asks.

Marlow brightened again. Her acceptance of big and green just went up a few notches. "Sydney, maybe we should take him home with us and talk about it there."

"You're Argo's brother?" Oh this was just going to be more problems. She just knew it. "Yeah, we probably should talk about this somewhere else."

"Yep. Argo and I are pretty tight, even though we don't see each other much. I used to live in New York, but...I'm in town looking for fun and such." he says.

He considered leaving with them a moment. What were the odds that Andy would freak out being the same room with cute women? One hundred percent. Not being in control was worth it if they'd tell him about it later.

"Okay, I'll go with you, but I gotta change a little. I don't think whatever you drove was made for guys like me. But do me a favor? Make sure to get a picture of how Andy looks when he sees the three of you, okay?" Titan smiles.

"Change?" Marlow shot a look at the other two women, then back at ... "Wait. Who's Andy? Who are you?"

"Please just tell me you're not a demon or a mongolian death worm in disguise."

As if to answer Marlow's question, Titan smirks and closes his eyes, beginning to shrink down, shorter and shorter, until he's no longer towering over the three women. He's still tall, but he's no longer a giant.

He's also no longer green.

Andy Walters opens his eyes, and his hands immediately go to holding up his now-oversized pants. His shoes and shirt are gone (he hates that), and he stands before the three women with an expression of confusion on his face.

"Okay...this is awkward. I am not some creep flasher, or a demon. And I definitely not a Mongolian Death Worm. Those thing are a pain in the ass." Andy says, shuddering at the last time he'd dealt with one. He'd been sick for a day or two from its poison, which was better than most did in the same situation.

"Did you any of you meet a giant green guy recently? More importantly, where's the restroom?" Andy asks, trying not to look like he had no clue where he was as he held up his pants.

"I like the giant green guy. He's friendly." Marlow's head tilted as she regarded Andy. He was nice to look at too. "It's over there." She pointed to the sign on the wall indicating the bathrooms were down a hall toward one of the exits.

"We'll wait for you here," Syd assured him. Godlings and now she's guess a Hulk. The fun never stopped.

"Uh, thank you." he says.

He heads back to his table for a moment, amid several surprised and angry stares, goes to the bathroom to change clothes. When he returns, he seems a little less embarrassed, though no less tense.

"I'm ready when you are. Oh...and I apologize for anything Titan, the big green guy, might have said to you." he says to Marlow, Dawn and Sydney. Then he looks at Marlow.

"Miss, you only like him because you don't know him yet. That will change." Andy says, an odd expression crossing his face.

"He didn't say anything wrong," Marlow assured Andy. She held out her hand. "I'm Marlow. It's nice to meet you."

She was losing her mind. That was the only explanation for how well she was dealing with this kind of thing.

"I'm Dawn," she said. "And..."

She looked around, finding that anyone who might be watching had long since run, and stamped her staff on the ground, changing back to normal and the staff into its umbrella disguise.

"It's fine. Really. This kind of thing happens more than you'd think."

"I'm Sydney," Syd said. "If you want to come back to our headquarters with us we can talk there."

Andy shakes Marlow's hand. "Hi, I'm Andy. Andy Walters."

He will shake hands with Dawn and Sydney if they allow it, then nod at Sydney. "You're right. It's probably better if we leave before people who can ask questions get here. I'm ready." he says.

He looks at Dawn with new interest when she changes.

"Wow, nice to see I'm not the only person who changes." Andy smiles.

Dawn will. "It... comes in handy," she admitted.

Marlow looked around again. Too many curious faces. Without the big, green guy to entertain, she was back to blending in the bacground. "I didn't get a chance to buy new clothes. I'll get the ones I looked at and meet you at the car, if that's all right."

Sydney nodded. "Go ahead. We'll be waiting for you." She looked at the others. "Let's go."
