Lia was really the perfect delivery vehicle for the clumsy little pink badge collection that was this species' way of taking over. But maybe the two of them could reverse it, so long as she kept all the glory for herself. Gabriel still wanted to stay under the radar, away from the attention of curious heroes and villains. And the pagans who occasionally came into contact with them.
"It's not too bad right now. Couple cities are all decorated up with face-friends. But everyone's kind of having a nap, right now, so if we mobilize like in every sci-fi movie in existence, we should be okay."
Gabriel was casual about almost everything, the one exception being his family. An invasion really didn't get under his skin. And his little face-off with the starfish hadn't made him worry any more. So as he filled her in, he shrugged — like he was reading off game stats of the World Series.
