Taking Flight
It had been a long flight. It took a while, but eventually he had managed to convince his adoptive parents that this was the right decision. He'd read all of the government's materials on the way over, getting a pretty good idea what was in store for the new Flight team. Expendable he could handle - what was the use of invulnerability otherwise? Not sure he liked that atmosphere for his teammates, but then no one was forced to join either, right?

Having connections to the Alpha and Gamma programs both, and parents the government wanted to remain on good terms with had its benefits. He was the first to arrive, even before their handler. He had his security card from the information packet, so getting in to the low security areas was no problem. He picked out a room and tossed his bags in, then grabbed a towel and headed for the shower to wake up and clean up after the all too crowded flight.

The Halls had made a road trip of it, spending as much time together as possible...in case they never saw their little girl again.

When they arrived, her parents did their best to settle her in. There were few more words of encouragement, a few more cautions to watch her back -- but don't worry, humans aren't necessarily bad people no matter how much Dad flinches a bit around crowds of them -- and a lot of hugs before they leave.

All the hugs and such going on outside don't alert Jordan, his new teammate and her security card getting inside just as he's headed from the showers back to his room.

There is a boy in the hallway in nothing but a towel.

Mel drops her bag and melts into the now-lavender-striped wall before she can think about it rationally.
So not helping! Walls don't have eyes to close!

It probably doesn't help either that he doesn't go scrambling for his room, he just eyes the oddly colored wall. "Well, that's new." he says in a rich baritone voice, tinged with just hints of French-Canadian accent. "Someone there? I'm not familiar with everyone's powers yet."

Mel morphs back into a small young woman in a sundress.

"Sorry! I'm Mel," she says, looking at...her bag, yes, she'll look at her bag as she picks it up. And clutches it.

He extends a hand with a smile. "No problem, Ma Belle. That's an interesting power. I'd love to hear how it works. I'm Jordan, Jordan Bochs."

She shakes, still a bit nervously. On top of everything else, she's not use to anyone but dad breaking out the complimentary epithets.

"Melanie Hall." She recognizes the last name. Mom has said a few things, but hadn't always gotten into complete detail or clarity.

"Phase-morphing," she said quietly. "Molecular bonding forces merging in a non-substantial state. The color's jsut something from the Killgrave side."

"Hmmm, that's fascinating. I'm guessing that you gain some degree of either insight, control, or both over the bonded surroundings, hazarding a guess?"

She nods. "Little bit of both. No great psychometric visions or spacewarping or anything, but I can do a few things and it's...nice. I've got...pheromone stuff, too -- but nothing that needs worrying about." She adds hurriedly. "It doesn't happen just talking or anything."
Beat. "I don't want to keep you from...from what you were doing."

He can't help but smile a touch at that. "You don't need pheromones, me belle." he replies, before turning and heading into his room.
"I'll be right back, just got to get dressed, then I'll help you get settled in, if you like? Settling in is pretty much exactly what I was doing."

Mel's face is suddenly a darker shade of purple for a moment. "Thanks"

She nods a little at the suggestion.

"But of course, Belle. Be right back." he responds.

Of course, he doesn't bother fully closing the door to his room, leaving the door ajar, apparently not being big on privacy, and maybe a little curious what the shy girl is going to do as he tosses the towel over the end of his bed and fetches his clothes.

Mel is going to find that although her feet have not technically melted into the floor, they are acting like it. She's also going to find that she....can't...keep...her eyes closed, so she will in fact cover each of them with a hand.

He pulls on boxers and jeans, and wanders back over with a white tee slung over his shoulder, leaning against the doorframe. "You know you're cute when you blush?"

Congratulations, Jordan. Her feet did, in fact, start to melt into the floor for a minute before she caught herself. "Hasn't been mentioned. Thanks."

She tries to clear her throat. "So what's your ability?"

"Most welcome, ma belle. A shame no one's mentioned it. As for me, I believe I'm the one who gets to take the big hits so the rest of you don't have to. A few minor tricks and quirks other than that."

He starts to pull the shirt on, grinning a touch at her choice of words. "Well, so glad to feel wanted. Know anything about the rest of this bunch?"

Marrina was still a bit damp as she returned to the quarters area, having gotten settled in some time earlier and then deciding to check out the pool. It was hyper-filtered, rather than chlorinated, per her request and for her unique biology. She had a water tank for sleeping in her room as well.

"Oh," she said, wide, dark-eyes shining, "I didn't know anyone else was here yet."

"Just got here about forty minutes ago. I didn't know there was a pool or I'd have joined you. And here I was just dressed for it." he adds, with a small grin at Melanie.

Mel looks at her bag, but there's a slight smile. Then she manages to look up at Marrina. "Hello."

"Just beat you then," she told Jordan. "I got in about an hour ago and needed to rehydrate."

She smiled. "Nice to meet you, both of you. I'm Marrina."
