Leaving On A JetPlane (Is just arriving somewhere else on one)
Chris smiled to herself as she watched the tarmac approach, feeling the familiar grinding and bumping of wheels as they met the ground, her flight finally setting down at LAX. Mom living on the other side of the country may make it a bit of a jaunt to visit, but she loves coast-hopping. Mom and Dad's separation wasn't easy for her to deal with, but she'd never held it against either of them. She'd made it blatantly clear, even with how young she was, that she wasn't going to be bounced back and forth in whatever custody agreement. It was why she'd wound up with the X-Men; Avengers-Hank had talked to X-Hank, who talked to the Professor. So, Xavier's; best place in the world for a kid to grow up learning how to master their freakish ways.

No need for baggage claim, since everything she needed was at Mom's, and there would be shopping. Chris was still struggling with resisting the urge to bolt down the hallway on all fours when she spotted the familiar face.

"Mom!" She waved, but didn't bother sprinting the rest of the way down the hallway to the welcome area. Last time she did that she accidentally clocked someone with her carry-on.

	Chris recognizes the face, and posture, and ego. "YOU..." Her voice practically drips with annoyance at the memory. She shifts back to her mom's side, seeing that he's got the attacker pinned, looking to her with a roll of her eyes. "Remember the 'misunderstanding' I e-mailed you about?"

	"Greer Grant, aka Tigra. And yes, honey. I heard from you about ten minutes before I got the first e-mail from Tony asking me to come help chaperone them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Chris raises an eyebrow at his announcement. "Of... course you are." As security converges on the downed HYDRA agent, she tugs him away by the arm. "C'mon... let's get you back to your handl---" Her head snaps up to look at her mom. "Wait... you're one of the handlers? I knew about Uncle Simon, but why didn't you tell me about you?"

	She laughs. "Hell no. But I love picturing Tony's face each time he sends me a new, higher offer. Women telling him no gets his panties in a twist, so I keep bothering to respond." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-08-18 08:32 am UTC (link)
	Chris giggles, finally stopping to hug her mother. "Good to see you, Mom." Still with her arms around the other woman, she gives Ohu A Look. "However old you really are, she's too old for how you act." She looks up at Greer. "Not that you're old, but trust me on this one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-08-18 08:36 am UTC (link)
	Tigra laughs, ruffling Chris' hair. "Nice to meet you too, Ohu. And don't worry, kiddo, somehow I think I can manage fine, even if you would make a great guardian angel. Love your hair, by the way. Wasn't it a different color last time you were out?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-08-19 12:27 am UTC (link)
	Chris grins. "Decided to go with the solid pink this time." She pushed some hair off her shoulder. "The different highlights were getting too much to keep up with." She finally lets Greer go, taking her bag back as well. She raises an eyebrow at Ohu. "So... just a coincidence you happened to be here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I see danger," he explains. "Sees Danger is my very name. I could sense a plot to take this plane, and I came to defeat it." He smiles at her. "You're quite lucky I showed up. Otherwise, you two would have been the only heroes on scene after the plane took off... and I don't believe most cats can fly." He gives them a little bow. "All in a day's work, my beautiful friends."

	Tigra can't help but roll her eyes a little, but seems pleasantly amused, anyway. "I can see why Tony keeps asking for help." she adds, then looks back to Chris. "So, you mentioned the incident and all your running around, but not how school is going." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-08-19 01:35 am UTC (link)
	Chris nodded. "Classes are good. New students settling in, the usual adventuring stuff." She shrugs. "After how heavy the things with the sand-wich and his sis went down though, thought it was a good time for a breather." Begrudgingly, she extended a hand to Ohu. "Thanks for the help then. Good work." Pervert. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He shakes her hand, grinning widely. "A pleasure to meet you again, when we are not on the field of battle," he offers. He turns to Tigra. "Your daughter is a most fierce fighter, as well, as I came to learn when my allies and I battled the Avengers. Such fun it was!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh yeah, she's got lots of practice. She used to fight taking a bath, fight going to bed, fight turning off the tv." She winks. Has to get in her fun while she can. "Those gratuitous hero battles are always entertaining though. Get to check out the other side. But anyway... I told Tony I'd go check out the Defenders place and take a look around... mostly to get his hopes up before I say no again - bet that'll get him steaming his moustache. I figure you can go chat with the other kids there while Simon and I catch up."

If Chris had a tail at the moment, it would have been poofed and pointing straight up. She didn't give her mom the victory of getting a whine out of her though, distracting herself with shaking Ohu's hand.

She does turn back when her mom mentions Simon. "I thought I was the one going to say hi to Uncle Simon. How much catching up do you have in mind?" She nudged her mom teasingly.

"And by a fierce fighter, he means I had him pinned under one paw." She smirks a little, pleased with herself, even if the whole thing turned a little weird.

	"Just coffee, sweetie. That's one of the things I wanted to do while you're out. I recently met a charming Wakandan man... they sent some people out long term to work on a project in Silicon Valley. Getting halfway serious. I wanted you to meet him while you're out" She replies. No time like the present. "I'm sure you did, sweetie." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Briefly," Ohu admits. "Because I let you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Chris starts ushering her mom and... former adversary, towards the exit. "If you can lay off the hitting on me when I'm not me, we'll see who 'lets' who." She doesn't quite smirk, but there's a little bit of 'bring it' in her tone. It's friendly though.

She smiles at her mom. "Good for you. I really hope he makes you happy. Just not too happy. I don't need any tiny siblings running around."

	"After the handful you were? Yeah right." she teases. "You need a lift back to the Defenders compound, Ohu?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2009-08-19 03:23 am UTC (link)
	He considers. On the one hand, walking back could lead to more adventures. On the other, beautiful women. "I wouldn't turn down a ride," he admits. He turns to Chris, a little confused. "And... when are you not you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-08-19 03:49 am UTC (link)
	Moving outside, Chris lowers her voice. "Y'know... when I'm changed. When I'm an animal. That's not who I am. It's just... my body being a little different." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-08-19 03:51 am UTC (link)
	Tigra heads for the car. "Ok, kiddo, you want shotgun or the cat carrier?" she teases, working on lightening the conversation. "Next stop, Defenders HQ." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-08-19 05:59 am UTC (link)
	Chris smirks and smacks a hand against the car before opening the door. "This IS the cat carrier." She climbs in the front seat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-08-19 06:00 am UTC (link)
	"Can't argue that." Tigra responds, swinging into the front seat and gunning the engine. "Let's get going." (Reply to this)(Parent)
