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.

"Phase-morphing?" she asked. "What's that?"

"Well..." Putting down her bag, Mel melds again into the hallway walls, lavender stripes appearing on the decor.

Marrina blinked her wide eyes in surprise, before breaking into a grin.

"That's pretty cool!" she bubbles.

There's the sound of a slight in the ventilation system as the thermostat somehow readjusts itself.

Then Mel shifts back out and says "Thank you."

Alex was in beagle form, he found that most people responded well to the loveable breed of dog, and trotted down the hall. Someone was eating a steak somewhere and he wanted to find out who and if they had any extra.

He found three people gathered in one of the hallways.

/Hi/ he said as he approached them.

/I'm Alex/ he said as he shifted into a guinea pig. /Nice to meet you all./

"Marrina," she said. "Likewise."

A talking dog that was also a guinea pig? She was part alien and even she thought that was strange.

/Now that names are out of the way, I guess the next thing is powers. If it's not a little obvious, I'm a shapeshifter./ If they looked closely, the animal's mouth was not moving when he "spoke". It was all in their minds.

To show off a bit, Alex turned into a gray wolf.

"Phase-morphing. And some pheremones stuff, but it's nothing anybody needs to worry about when I'm not being part of the room or anything."

"A few tricks and quirks, but for the most part, I'm the team punching bag. I take the big hits so you all don't have to. We get in trouble, get behind me." He pauses, eyeing Mel and giving her a wink. "Feel free to admire my ass while you're there."

Very deftly avoiding commenting on Jordan's comments about his behind, Marrina said, "I'm aquatic. Mostly. I do a few other... weird things too."

/Weird is normal,/ Alex pointed out. /Someone in the building is eating a steak and I'm going to see if they have any more./ He transformed back into the beagle and started following his nose.

"Huh, not sure who that'd be. Place was pretty locked up, and no one responding when I got here. Of course, this is Alpha Flight. Our luck, our first supervillains are raiding our cafeteria."

"Support staff, maybe?" Marrina asked. "Or someone we haven't met?"

"I'm... I'm a little bit scared about not knowing who else is here, and a little bit wondering if there's any garlic for the steak..."

He's still teasing, if gently. "Hey, just stick close and you'll be fine. Let's follow the dog's nose and check on that garlic thing for you. And if he's wrong... its nice weather, we can open things up with a team BBQ. I'll even volunteer to grill as long as you girls promise to wear your bikinis."

Marrina shrugged. "Sounds fine by me. Though I like fish more than beef."

"I can grill up some trout or something too. Long as the bikini thing is a go, and we have it in the fridge, I'll BBQ it."

What? Marrina spends most of her time in the water. Swim-wear's a natural.

"Let's go check it out then," she said.
