I'd'd call it a road trip, but where we're going, we don't need roads
"You ready for some time to head out, babe?" Alex talks to Ride absent-mindedly as he goes over an upgrade for her nav systems. He'd managed to put out enough brushfires that the galaxy actually seemed like it might get through a whole week without needing saving. With luck, any minor to moderate problems that would pop up could be handled by the Kree Elite and the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. So, he was planning some r&r and a long overdue visit to Earth.

Feeling charitable, or possibly mad, he'd even let it slip to his teammates that he'd be heading out. He hadn't gone so far as to say they were welcome to join him, but tagging along was certainly theirs for the asking.

He pats hand to the control console as he finishes the software maintenance, and double-checks his course with satisfaction. Everything's just coming up awesome. "Just you wait, Fed... we are gonna hit that town of yours."

	"Indeed." Alex smirks, fastening his belt as the bay team gives him clearance to leave the station. "Alright then, folks, we're all set. Azura, if you'd be so kind as to let Abe make his grand appearance?" He nods towards the co-pilot seat as he brings them gently out of the landing bay and heads into open space.

	Red made a great show of pouting. "Betamax-9 was going to be blowing up anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"In a few million years," Azura said. Azura sighed and let her brother take her place in the normal world. "All set?" he asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Work your magic, friend." Alex smiles. "So, what kind of yarns has your guys' dad spun you about Earth? I'm hoping to meet the Avengers, see what all the fuss is about these guys who keep rearing their heads out here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Red absently groomed his tail while he listened. "Be telling story! Am wanting to hear about Earth!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Our parents don't really talk about Earth," Abel said. He shrugged. "They're really not the story telling types." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Commander Dad just goes on about how diverse it is, and comparatively peaceful, compared to all the inter-system wars and similar nonsense." Alex pilots on as Abe does his thing. "Honestly, I just want a nice quiet weekend, and to try some pizza, like Mac's gone on about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Once they're thoroughly underway, and their expected transit time can be measured in the mid two figures of hours, rather than weeks, Alex swivels his chair around and reclines in it. "Which is to be expected, since the whole planet isn't an insane asylum." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	With the warptunel open Abel went back to the pocket dimension and Azura took his place. He had a project he was working on. "Just think, Red. New weapons to check out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Just don't shoot anyone who tries to pick you up. If I have to put you on a leash to avoid suspicion, you're under orders to just go with it." Alex smirks. Being team leader tended to have its perks of command, even if they weren't really on duty for this trip.

He moves from his captain's seat back into the galley of the ship with the others, taking a seat close to but not quite next to Azura, from which he can reach into a cooler and pull out a few bottled beers.

"Our contact is going to be Nova Corpsman Rider. Nova Prime's kid. I've got enough lcoal Terran currency to get us accommodations, but if any of you gets separated from me, he's your fallback point."

	Red was back to pouting. "You try to be leashing me and you may be finding you are having less fingers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	only_half_here 2011-09-02 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	Azura would pay to see Quill trying to put a leash on Red. She didn't doubt that Red would take off a few of Quill's fingers. She grabbed the beer from Quill's hand and started to drink it. "I'm looking forward to trying the food." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex rolls his eyes as Az snatches the beer in hand, rather than one of the extra ones he'd gotten out. He blows a kiss at her. "You're welcome, darling. And there'll be plenty of food. Near as I understand, New York is Earth's capital planet. All kind of cultural convergences." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oooh! Oooh! Is New York being home of "deep dish pizza"? Have been hearing good things about that!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Call me that again and you'll be missing teeth," Azura grumbled. Maybe not missing teeth, but pain would be involved. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Iason moves into position outside alongside the ship, listening over comms. "Chicago is the deep dish. New York's is also quite good, but different." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	spacepalm 2011-09-03 12:42 am UTC (link)
	"You're cute when you get life-threatening." He cracks open another beer and takes a long sip. He nods to Iason's contribution. "Yeah, the Fed mentioned something like that. We can check in with him for good local spots. Guy eats like an Acanti." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What's your favorite Earth food, Eternal?" Azura popped open the beer and took a long pull from it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Red just giggled. "You two are being so cute when you are flirting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2011-09-03 12:54 am UTC (link)
	"Variety." he responds, readily. "They have very widely varied cuisine.... I had not tried even a fraction of it. I think you would like Texas barbecue though, at a guess. The spicier the better and more complex the underlying tastes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	only_half_here 2011-09-03 01:00 am UTC (link)
	"Sounds right up my alley," she said. "You'll have to show me where to get some." She glared at Red. "We are NOT flirting!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex just smiles, shrugs, and has more of his beer. He is the very picture of innocence, yes sir. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
