BWI Airport, Portalocity Lounge

[oldstrongest1.livejournal.com]

Some people flew into BWI. Some people portaled in. And then there was Skaar, who landed at the Portalocity Terminal after one final two-mile long jump. He showed his clearance from Captain Rogers proving that it had been arranged and that, yes, he could enter the terminal carrying a big-ass sword, and then he went inside.

Once inside the airport, Skaar spotted the "WELCOME FANDOM STUDENTS" banner and sat down on a bench clear of the glitter that was falling off of it. He didn't realize it yet, but it was pretty much the Fandom experience right there in the terminal. Sit by the giant, green, long-haired, shirtless, half-alien barbarian spy guy with a sword that was bigger than you strapped to his back, or drown in glitter. Honestly, you were probably safer with Skaar.

Wait for the Shuttle

[oldstrongest1.livejournal.com]

It'll be here soon! Until then, mingling!

[ungue.livejournal.com]

Mingling was for the weak. And the socially competent, neither of which Laura was. It evened out?

Traveling to a whole different world didn't phase her in the least, because once you go to the far future and kill the alternate version of what could pass for your best friend (kinda) things tend to lose their shine. Laura was simply going to sit with her knees up and against her chest, hugging her legs and pretending to be furniture, all while looking at the other people there, already trying to find weaknesses.

Super stealthy.

[oldstrongest1.livejournal.com]

Skaar wasn't much for chit-chat either, but he felt mingling was also for the bored. "Having fun waiting?" Probably not.

[ungue.livejournal.com]

Perhaps out of everyone the lounge, Laura had paid more attention to Skaar. She was familiar with The Hulk, after all. The fact the boy (boy?) was apparently civilized and calm was a bit confusing, not to mention intriguing. Intriguing enough to warrant conversation?

"Not really. I do not mind though." She didn't have anywhere else to be anyway. "Are you familiar with The Hulk?" Better get that out of the way.

[oldstrongest1.livejournal.com]

"Intimately. He's my father," Skaar said. "And I tried to kill him a few times. You know how it is."

[ungue.livejournal.com]

"I see." There was no surprise on her voice, not even after Skaar's admission to attempted parricide. "Yes, I know how it is." Logan wasn't her father, but it was the closest she would ever have to one.

"Did he send you here?"

[oldstrongest1.livejournal.com]

"No. Haven't seen him in a while, actually," Skaar said. "Some other people convinced me to give it a shot. Apparently I need to learn to work in a ground environment."

Not that he ever looked happy, but Skaar had an extra annoyed look as he said that.

[ungue.livejournal.com]

"Hmm." She really didn't know him enough to have an opinion, but the guy sure didn't look like he wanted to be there. But did Laura, anyway? It seemed like it was less about choice and more about need.

"I just needed to go away."

[oldstrongest1.livejournal.com]

"Where are you going away from?" Skaar checked. She might refuse to answer, but it didn't hurt to check. Probably.

[ungue.livejournal.com]

"Everything."

That was the right answer, right? "Utopia, I do not know if the name is familiar to you. The X-Men are based there."

[oldstrongest1.livejournal.com]

"Heard of it. I haven't dealt with the X-Men much, though," Skaar said. "Except for Wolverine. I keep dealing with Wolverine."

[ungue.livejournal.com]

Congratulations, Skaar, you're the first person to make Laura's face do something else than frown. That's an actual grin there. "Yeah, me too. He is nosy."

[oldstrongest1.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure what his deal with the Hulk is. They're always either fighting or teaming up to fight someone else, or both," Skaar said. "I can't tell if they're friends or if they hate each other."

[ungue.livejournal.com]

"Both, probably." Logan didn't have a clear line when it came to the people he worked with. That certainly had never caused him problems, nooo. "I am... related to Logan." Since he shared first. It felt necessary.

[oldstrongest1.livejournal.com]

"Is he your father?" Skaar checked. "If he is, your brother is a jackass. Just throwing that out there."

[ungue.livejournal.com]

"I am his clone, actually." Yep.

Laura frowned. "Daken? He is." No doubt about that.

[oldstrongest1.livejournal.com]

Apparently whoever cloned Wolverine made some changes. Or Wolverine was very private about certain things. "In that case, thanks for not asking me to hit someone for you yet. Or stabbing me yet."

[ungue.livejournal.com]

Good thing he didn't ask for details, because it was several years too early for her to feel like explaining. "I fight my own fights", she said, matter-of-factly. "And I have no reason to stab you." Just in case that wasn't clear.

[oldstrongest1.livejournal.com]

"I'll try to keep it that way. Claw wounds get annoying after a while," Skaar joked. Well, it was a joke for him. Probably not for most people.

Raven had successfully managed to get herself transferred from Ever After High to Fandom High, at least for a semester. She was looking forward to a fresh start at a school where everyone didn't scream and run away from her because she was "evil."

She had several pieces of luggage floating next to her in a glow of purple magic as she walked from the Portalocity terminal to the shuttle waiting area. She had a lot of shoes, OK?

RE: Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[oldstrongest1.livejournal.com]

"Magic, right?" Skaar checked. Purple glows usually meant magic. "Not judging, just checking."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[idecidemystory.livejournal.com]

Raven had gone to school with giants and trolls, so Skaar's appearance didn't phase her in the slightest.

"It is," she said. "Hi! I'm Raven Queen." Saying her name made her a little nervous. No one here was supposed to know who she was and who she was supposed to be, but she couldn't help but worry.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[oldstrongest1.livejournal.com]

The name meant nothing to Skaar, so she was safe for the moment! "Skaar, Son of Hulk," Skaar responded. He just assumed she knew who the Hulk was since, well, Hulk. The fact that nobody had freaked out about his Hulkness so far was strangely refreshing. "You can't do any magic to clear that glitter out of here, can you? I have no interest in being shiny for the next week."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[idecidemystory.livejournal.com]

Raven glanced around at all the glitter. She probably could magic it all away, but she'd likely end up entirely coating Skaar with it, which wouldn't go over well.

"Sorry," she said with a little shrug. "My magic doesn't work on glitter all that well. It's too small or something."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

"I could clap hard enough for the shockwaves to blow it all away, but then security would come by and have questions," Skaar said. "Guess we're stuck with it for now."
