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 frowned. "That's... surprising. One of ours alums actually married some wolf-god of yours, I think. Thought we'd get better press." She draws herself up. "Well, the X-Men fight just as well if not better, without the government and good public image to help them along." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin nodded. "Aye. The Lady Rahne and Hrimhari. We knowest them well. Moira, Danielle and their siblings were oft companions of ours. Lady Rahne oft told tales of the X-Men. More in Asgard hast hath more contact with Earth's Mightiest Heroes than the X-Men." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Chris smirks. "Yeah, I'd bet you've heard more than a little about Dad, and a thing or two about Mom as well. Hank Pym, who's had more costumes than I have whiskers, and Greer Grant, Tigra." She grins. "And we've all heard plenty about Thor and Lady Sif." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye I hath heard tales with them," she said. "Art thou an Avenger or an X-Man?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Chris pauses. "Simple version, I'm an X-Man. The whole story's a bit more complicated." She shrugs, cautiously approaching the animals. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2009-08-19 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin nodded and assumed as much with the way the girl was going on about the X-Men. "'Tis a good thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-08-20 05:53 am UTC (link)
	"Nah, complicated is just complicated. The X-Men are home though, for better or for worse. Home that I don't need to feel like there's someone waiting for me to be somewhere else anyway." She frowns momentarily, then goes back to trying to get the cub's attention. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2009-08-20 06:35 am UTC (link)
	Svalin had no clue what the girl was talking about, but she chalked it up to being a Migard thing. "Best to do what ist best for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-08-20 07:03 am UTC (link)
	"Totally. Speaking of which, how's life on Earth treating you so far? Getting used to slumming it with us mere mortals?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2009-08-20 07:07 am UTC (link)
	Svalin was not sure what 'slumming it' was, but she answered the question anyways. "I art liking it so far. There art many interesting things to see and do. We went to a place called Disneyland." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-08-20 07:11 am UTC (link)
	Chris crept forward slowly, avoiding direct eye contact with the cub, but still trying to get closer. "Oh that's great! Haven't been there in a few years. Need to get Mom and Dad together for a family vacation, if they can tolerate each other that long..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2009-08-20 07:26 am UTC (link)
	"If thou art wanting to pet him, you may. He will not harm thee." Svalin smiled a little. "It wast an interesting time," she said. "There wast much battle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-08-20 07:30 am UTC (link)
	Chris practically purred as she finally reached out and gave the cub a tentative scritch behind the ears. Yeah yeah, it may seem stupid, but she'd never gotten to approach a 'real' tiger before. Then her head snapped towards Svalin again. "....what were you fighting at Disneyland?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2009-08-20 07:45 am UTC (link)
	"The kraken and the small puppets from a ride. They came alive and weret attacking the people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-08-20 07:57 am UTC (link)
	Chris blinked, surprised, but it faded quickly. "Oh... me and the other X'ers had to fight people from a dimension ruled by television." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2009-08-21 04:19 am UTC (link)
	"At least thou wert victorious." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-08-21 05:46 am UTC (link)
	Chris seems thoughtful. "Yeah... but... some of our people got hurt real bad, not just from the fight. Hard to really feel like a win when people close to you suffer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2009-08-22 12:17 am UTC (link)
	"They art alive," she said. "'Tis something to be thankful for." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-08-22 12:23 am UTC (link)
	Chris nods. "Yeah. You're right. So... what's fun around here besides training companion beasts?" She grins, trying to lighten the conversation again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2009-08-22 05:28 am UTC (link)
	"There ist plenty to do," Svalin answered and patted Tryggvi's nose. "Weapons practice doth take up a good deal of time, but on occasion I watch a movie with the young mortal and the rest of the Defenders." (Reply to this)(Parent)
