I could get behind Faye, it's a cool and underrated name. Kinda like a spy!

[ He shrugged then at the question.]

If they're harmful, I kill them. If not, the old note card and glass trick works to get them outside. My bosses place is being renovated, spiders pop up all the time.

[gravity_grrl]

Yeah or an old timey lounge singer.

[She shivers and makes a face.]

Euuuuugh!!! I hate spiders, any of them. Yer brave to move them outside.

[twoton_twentyone]

Totally, kind of like the woman in Dark City, ever seen that? Totally wicked cool, what the fuck, kind of movie!

Eh, I wouldn't say brave, as much as I like knowing they're around to kill anything worse. Give me a spider over a roach any day.

[gravity_grrl]

Omg yes! With the lady from Labyrinth! But it's got all those bald guys in fetish gear, that move was SO weird. Kind of like the Matrix before the matrix.

[She makes another face.]

Okay, good point. I HATE roaches, we had them a few times growing up.

[twoton_twentyone]

Dude, she was so hot in that. And no judging, I saw that as a kid and thought so then too. Right! Those guys were mad creepy. Massive creeper vibes, and I work with professionals, very few are THAT creepy. It was better than the Matrix, at least I think so.

[ A sympathetic nod given.]

One can only smash so many with their boot before spiders become a partner in arms. Not that I think there's any in the house, but you never know. It was abandoned for a long time.

[gravity_grrl]

True but the hottest person in that film was Bowie, hands down. [She lifts a brow.] You work with professional creepers? What are you, like a parole officer or somethin?

[She giggles at his phrasing.]

So true, luckily the place I live now has no bugs.
But you live in an abandoned house? Is it haunted??

[twoton_twentyone]

Oh god, I meant in Dark City she was hot. But, I'm with you on Bowie. Labyrinth was something else. [ He shrugged a bit, trying to think of how to phrase it.] Kinda, not really. I'm a henchman, let's just leave it at that. I feel like that says enough.

[ That giggle gets a laugh out of him. Infectious. ]

Our place will be like that soon too. And nah, it's not haunted. Just kinda fell into disrepair. It's my bosses childhood home. It's being reno'd though. Kinda cool, kinda stressful.

[gravity_grrl]

[There's a pause and then she laughs.] A henchman? You mean for like costumed bad guys? No way! Who do you work for??

Aw that's kind of nice that he gets to return to his childhood home. [A pause.] Unless there's like a ton of trauma there or somethin....

[twoton_twentyone]

Yeah, dude, it's super cool. [ He loves his job 85% of the time.] I work for the Mighty Monarch!

Eh, I think it's mostly cool just the issue was our old base was destroyed so it's the only choice we had. Not traumatic just a shitty situation.

[gravity_grrl]

[She scrunches up her face, obviously wracking her brain to see if she remembers anyone called 'the Mighty Monarch'.]

Hrm....nope. Never heard of him. I mostly fight government bad guys and the occasional douchebag who wants to destroy the world. Does he have any powers?

Oh okay, that's cool then. I'd hate to have to go back to my childhood home but that's cuz I grew up in a trailer in Texas.

[twoton_twentyone]

Dude, seriously? Like W.T. Fuck. How? I mean, maybe. but that blows my mind. Are you like OSI or something?

Then again... We mostly arch one dude, so. I guess.

[ Gary is so not telling the Monarch about this. Nope. ]

Oh man, going home sucks so much. Trust me, I get it. I've had to live with my mom a few times over the years, never fun. I mean, I love my mom, don't get me wrong, but, I'd rather not live in my childhood room, you know?

[gravity_grrl]

OSI? I have no idea what that is, unless it's a branch of International Operations or something which is the shitty government group that was using me and some friends as test subjects.

It's good that you love yer mom but yeah, I totally get it. Once yer past a certain age it's kind of embarrassing to have to go back home.

[twoton_twentyone]

It could be, honestly I never looked that deep into it. In my line of work, we deal with them a lot. But tell me you've at least heard of the Guild of Calamitous Intent.

[ That was important. ]

Wait, wait, like project X style? Are you like Wolverine? That would be so wicked cool.

Dude, right? So lame.

[gravity_grrl]

[Another nose scrunch.] Nope, sorry. Never heard of any guild.

Yeah kind of, except it wasn't really cool at all. It was basically torture. It was this project that was set up to look like some government funded thing for teens when it was really the government looking for those of us with powers so they could turn us all into soldiers/slaves for them.

[twoton_twentyone]

Woah, that's both unbelievable and kinda cool.

[ Who knows where he'd be in life now without professional villainy. Probably not kidnapped... ]

Dude, that blows. Are they still doing that to people? That totally goes against the at least two of the guild codes, but again, maybe they don't have to abide by them. [ But most important.] Are you okay?

[gravity_grrl]

It's the US government, I don't think they have to abide by anyone's codes or rules except for the ones they make up.

[She says with a snort and then nods, giving him a little smile.]

Yeah I'm okay, when we broke out of the facility we made sure they couldn't find or hurt anyone else. And I got some pretty cool gravity powers out of the deal and some cool friends so I guess all in all it kind of balanced out.

[twoton_twentyone]

That sounds about right.

[ And like the OSI at the same time. He turned that small smile. ]

Dude, you have gravity powers? That sounds awesome, cool friends and awesome powers always a plus. Are you guys like a superhero team?

[gravity_grrl]

Yeah it's pretty kickass, it means I can fly. Well okay I guess technically it's floating but whatever, it means I can go up real high and just chill in the clouds when I want to get away from everything.

And yeah we are, as dorky as that sounds. We call ourselves Gen 13.

[twoton_twentyone]

That's so awesome! Come on, flying is like one of the top five coolest powers! And what a wicked sweet name for your group!

[gravity_grrl]

Thanks! Would you ever want to come out flying with me? I can totally take you up as well, just no barfing if we go upside down.

[twoton_twentyone]

I promise not to barf, plenty of experience living in a flying cocoon and driving a flying car for my boss. But you're so on, as long as you don't drop me.

[ Look, 21 knows he's a heavy dude. Despite getting in shape, he will always be the chubby henchman in his mind. ]

[gravity_grrl]

Aww I'd never drop you! And woah wait, your boss has a flying car?? Really? That's pretty cool.

[twoton_twentyone]

That's all I needed to hear, I'm so down for this. And yeah, it's wicked cool. I'd offer to show you, but secret lair and all that.

[gravity_grrl]

Yeah I get that, I'd offer to invite you over as well but the old guy we live with who helped us get away from the government would probably freak out and shoot you.
He's such a grouch.

[twoton_twentyone]

Yeah, I get shot at enough at work. As cool as it may sound, not as cool in reality. I'll totally pass. But hanging out here, totally sweet, and fewer bullets and darts involved.

But he saved you guys, so that means he's good to you guys, right?
