10° VIDEO
[There's a pause before Johnny's face appears on the screen, bent over to press the buttons. Once he confirms that the screen is on, he straightens and makes sure he's in frame, wearing very basic clothes.]
Aw, Reed. You shouldn't have! It's a little small, but I admit, I like what you've done with the place.
[He waits a beat, as if Reed might actually respond.]
There are two obvious possibilities for why I'm here. One, the Emperor is a crazed fan who abducted me to find out if The Torch is really as hot as they say he is – I am, by the way – or, two, I'm actually dead, they're lying to me, and I have a motorcycle and a pile of women waiting for me somewhere.
[A split-second pause.] I'll tell you what. If it's the first option? You can come find me. If it's the second, let me know and I'll come find you. Until then? This Fire Sector is like home, sweet home.
Johnny out.

[He talks a big game, and so she'll believe it when she sees it.
It's entirely possible that his confidence is well-earned because wow, he's good looking but still.]I'm Bryn, one of your neighbors. Has anyone from your world popped up since your post went up?

Hitting the ground running, hm?

Well, then I'll be curious to see what sort of dinner you can round up in the city with that determination, considering the rationing.

[She'll happily take a steak cooked rare to medium-rare, thank you very much.]

[Restaurants staffed by less antagonistic kedan, served better food, and the like.]

[He flashes a thumbs up and a single flame flickers up off his thumb and then vanishes in the air.]

[But it seems rude to make a new arrival make use of his fresh rations for her dinner.]
See you at six.
video;
See you then.
video; --> action;
[And Bryn disconnects the feed with a wave. With time to kill, she sets about cleaning her place up, running an errand, and then cleaning herself up so that she's ready by the time six rolls around.]
action;
too smallvery fitted shirts that Victor gave him, the more plain one, and then some basic pants that resemble slacks over his Fantastic Four suit. It's the best he can do for now.And then he's glad that she's not far, running over and knocking on her door at 6:05. He flashes a grin as he waits for her to open the door.]
action;
Found the place alright, I see.
[She's dressed casually in a pair of trousers, her long tunic open at the collar, and her belt cinched around her hips. There's a knife at her side but for the evening she's leaving her gun at home.]
Worked up an appetite?
action;
[His reply comes with a grin, a suggestion that his appetite is just for her. Johnny drops his eyes to the knife and flashes another grin.]
I like a woman who comes prepared.
action;
Well, you never know when you'll have to come to the rescue of some new guy still finding his feet around this place.
[With a wink, she tilts her head to the side, toward one lane.]
Come on, this way.
action;
You're always thinking of me.
[Then he settles in beside her, matching her walking pace as they begin towards the restaurant.]
action;
Well we've all got to look out for each other around this place. Not all of the foreigners are so welcoming.
[The restaurant isn't far, so Bryn walks at an easy pace, smile playing over her lips.]
So where are you from?
action;
[Another smile. Johnny slides his hands into his pockets, coming down a little from his usual mania to something more comfortable.]
New York. [A beat.] Earth. I think it's what most people imagine it to be. Except we're superheroes. The only superheroes.
action;
[Giving him an sly, arched eyebrow, she grins wide once more.]
And superheroes, hm? I've heard of your type before. There are lots of them here, from what I understand.
action;
Here, yeah. You go far enough into any dark corner of alternate universes and you'll find more. [There's a brief flicker of surprise on his expression, as he can't believe he actually just said that, but it's gone as quickly as it came.]
It doesn't mean anything. We're the ones who matter to the people from our world.
action;
They're lucky to have people who care about them, who want to keep them safe.
[And that she means honestly. She didn't grow up with her mother's family and values not to appreciate the value of those who are true guardians and protectors.]
You work with others also, it sounds like?
action;
Yeah. My sister, Sue, her husband, Reed, and a good friend of ours, Ben. We were all exposed to the same radiation that gave us powers.
