Young Justice RP :: semi lit

Rosa pouted for a mere second as they moved apart but he was most likely right, it was not the time or place for their behavior. As Marcus playfully tugged at her zipper her eyebrows shot up and a smile weaved its way across her face. Rosa let her fingers slip off of Marcus's hand slowly only breaking eye contact when Fallen slipped in the room. She still felt an unusual twinge in her stomach that hinted at something more when it came to Fallen but who knew maybe she was just hungry. As Fallen walked over to her the twinge turned into a lone butterfly beating at her stomach, she was more than just hungry.
 
Jacob noticed how close Rosa was with Marcus before he walked in. He guessed the both of them were close, or she was just being playful. But that didnt concern him at the moment. Looking around, Batgirl and Marcus were right. They were a couple of people short.


"Well, we might as well start. We'll fill Flare and...wait, Wayne's kid? Wonderboy is his son? But how did he get in with Wonderwo-


Wait a minute...holy $%&£, Bruce Wayne is Batman. And if Wonderboy is his son...If Ras al Ghul knew, things would get rather bloody.


He composed himself rather quickly. "N-nevermind, lets just start the briefing and we'll fill them in once we're done should they turn up. If they dont I'll start searching the city for them." He turned to Rosa before finishing. "If it does happen, I may need your help. Like i said, i dont know this city very well."
 
Sheena watches Rosa and Marcus's rather sensual interaction and is disturbed by how simply watching their closeness, the sexual implications behind it, makes her so uncomfortable she has to avert her eyes. Angry with herself for this reaction, for the way her stomach is twisting up, her heart suddenly aching in a way she doesn't understand, she tries not to think about it or why she's suddenly feeling like this at all, but even when she looks around to focus on the others again her thoughts do not swerve away.


It's been a very long time since anyone touched her out of any sort of affection, to the point that though she can vividly remember and imagine it, she almost can't believe it will ever happen again. It's not the flirtation between Rosa and Marcus, or the sexual undertones, not really- shit, Sheena had and still could, if needed, do anything sexual with anyone that she needed, and do it with bravado and a smile, if that was what she needed to get what she wanted or needed to survive. But the affection, that is getting to her, and in her mind, she covers this lingering knowledge with cynicism, crossing her arms.


She told herself those two would be screwing by the end of the day, and then by the next day it would be all Rosa's hurt feelings and Marcus moving on, and that would be that. This was bad for the team, and that meant for the world at large, them having that. Sheena was the one being smart, trying to keep herself at a distance...that was what it took, to be a hero.


Or so she tried to tell herself.
 
Rosa nodded, "Sounds fun, I like playing around in the dark spots of the city," she whispered slipping her arm through his and leaning into his shoulder a bit. She breathed in his scent it was so wild, like the wind but different. She could tell that some people in the room, *cough* Sheena, were a little unnerved by her behavior but they would get used to it. Yes, Rosa liked having fun and yes that fun could be considered inappropriate but she would never endanger the world over it.
 
Jacob began to get chills. Both the good and the bad kind. First a closeness with Marcus, now Jacob being smelled? If she was one of those kinds of people like catwoman, she really knew how to give tension to a guy. They way she breath him in, how her fingers began to lace in his hand, his other hand clenched into a tight fist behind his back. He had to relieve his tension somehow.


Keeping as much of a straight face as he could, he composed himself. Lord knew he was trying not to get deep into the situation, considering i can almost make out- JACOB! WAKE UP!


"Okay!" Jacob said before he lost himself. "Let's just do the briefing without them and fill them in later. Anyway, the Brotherhood tried to take something from the vault, and not only did we stop them, we took Two-Face in custody, and Doc Oct, as cold as it sounds, is KIA. As much as we took two birds with one stone, the rest of them got away. So now we're left with a rather large scale question," He addressed the whole group at this point. "what was so important in that vault that made almost every high-class villain on earth and beyond, come together in an all-out assault?"
 
Alice raised an eyebrow, from the way Dead Eye and Clawed Rose moved away from each other suggestively, it seemed as though she had just missed something, she didn't like it. Rose moved to Jacob's arm, and by the way he was reacting he was uncomfortable. Using her action of entering the small and crowed hospital room as well as the personality others assumed of her as a obnoxious socialite percieved by her appearance, Alice walked up from behind the two and made her way between them as she pushed them apart, "Excuse me," she said politely. Alice stood next to Johnathan's bed so she could address them team members in various parts of the space, "I suppose we should move on without the others?" she paused a moment, waiting for a protest, there was none so she continued, "I have three major items of business to address. The first is the Young Justice head quarters. The Justice League has arranged us to use an old JLA headquarters, Mount Justice in Happy Harbor. It was vacated since the area was compromised several decades ago. The JLA has had no use for it for years, so with their consent we are able to use it for our own purposes, whether it be training, mentoring, or recovering. It is also available as a place of residency for those who have complications with that issue. That being said, I move on the next item. Our endeavors will not be independent, Young Justice is still a branch of the Justice League and will act under their orders as such; Red Tornado has curtiously volunteered to take the role as our "Den Mother" acting as a mentor, guidance, and a link to the JLA respectively. And finally, we have our next mission assignment. As we have apprehended the villain Two-Face, he will need to be transported to a maximum security prison, a classified penitentiary for high risk villains in the base of Appalachian Mountains. Two-Face is currently in interrogation and is scheduled for the move in two days time. It is our job to make sure he gets there as planned without complications. Any questions?" she explained formally, her hands on her hips and inclined her head slightly.
 
The first question springing to Sheena's mind is how the hell Alice, who is probably barely older than she is, sounds so old and mature and educated... the second is whether she's now supposed to stay at this Young Justice headquarters, or still with Alice in her mansion. The third is who is this Red Tornado guy she mentioned...and it's not until the fourth question that she feels it's one she's able to ask out loud. "Are we supposed to kill him if it gets really ugly, or just keep him restrained? Actually...um...are we ever supposed to kill anyone? Or allowed to?"
 
"The League has a strict no-kill policy in which they take very seriously." Alice said, but the truth was she wasn't exactly sure how to answer the question, something like that varies upon the circumstances, a choice made when a hypothetical situation became reality, "Extra precautions will be put in place to make sure the mission plays out smoothly."
 
Sheena blinks, somewhat taken aback, and her nails dig unconsciously into her arms. She takes a while to find a way to carefully word her reply. "We can't kill, ever? Even if it's someone evil, and they're trying to kill us...or like a whole building of kids or something?" She tries to make her face blank, even as inside her thoughts begin to tangle over each other with her renewed fear...if these people ever found out about her, about the things she had done, the people dead because of her, they would never let her among them...they might even stick her in prison, or at least juvie, and god, that was the one place she had always sworn she would never let herself go back to...she'd kill or die first.


Instead of looking better, this entire situation was seeming worse every time she opened her mouth.
 
Alice frowned, "Like I said, strick policy," she glanced around the room, "We are not gods, many heros go corrupt in their own power and believe that they are fit to decide to end another's live. Evil should be trialed and brought to justice. Murder causes corruption, once you do it, you think its okay, its the easy way out, and you do it again, and again, you become a corrupt power, innocent murder becomes blatent and irrational." she left it at that, she didn't feel like explaining further.
 
Sheena is silent, but all she can think about is that if the choice comes down to killing a villain or letting it kill her or other people, she doesn't think she could make the choice to let herself or others just die. She looks away, hoping no one comments further.
 
Seeing Alice separate the two, Marcus snickered. He then laid his back to a wall and listened to Alice. The rules of the JLA were in a way troubling for someone like him who was trained to become the perfect assassin. Killing was somewhat a natural reaction against danger for him that he's been trying to correct for some time now. "Guess that differentiates us from the Avengers. They'd kill if necessary... but that's also the problem a lot of people has got problems with them." he thought to himself. He continued listening to her about the things she had to point out. "We can at least maim them if necessary right?" he asked. His tone was dead serious this time.
 
"Oh, thats perfectly acceptable," Alice assured him, "They are trying to kill you of course," She crossed her arms and shrugged, "I don't make the rules--if anyone has any issues regarding them gladly take it up with Batman or Superman, they would be 'estatic' to anwser your questions,"
 
As Alice pushed her way between him and Rosa, Jacob almost felt relieved, but hurt at the same time. Listening to the briefing, he already had the lodgings covered thanks to Jonathan's offer.


When legs asked about the killing, Jacob couldnt help but say "Believe me, this subject never stops. Though i swear i'll kiss anyone who-" Remembering that Rosa was getting close to him, he had to think before he spoke! "Nevermind. So how are we escorting Two-Face? I can cover the skies and be a look-out, if that can help."
 
"Anyone who what?" Sheena can't resist asking, then turns, interested in Alice's reply to his question about Two-Face. "So what is this guy's powers, exactly, Two-Face? I mean, all I can think of I could do is wolf out and hurt him if needed."
 
"Well," Alice said,"I don't believe Two-Face has anypowers, however, he a sly weasel who is very important to the villain community. It's not an attack from Two-Face that I'm worried about. As means of the transportation, we will take the League's under ground as far as we can until we have to arrive on the surface to continue the rest of the journey, at which time it would be suitable to have an areal look out for potential threats. There will be three transport vehicles, two will be decoys consisting of various other members from the Teen Titans and mostly independent members of the League. The transports will be headed to different holding facilities, we will be going to the one in the Appalachians." Alice paused, waiting for questions and comments.
 
Rosa rolled her eyes as Alice pushed between them. Who did she think she was, oh right she was the freaking team leader. This whole taking orders thing was going to take some work. Sighing she moved further away from Fallen deciding she was tired of the whole standing and flirting business, how about a nice lounge. Her eyes flicked across the room until she located the chair placed perfectly so that sunlight wafted onto the cushion. Smiling she slipped across the room and sat so that her head legs hung across the arms of the chair. She listened in what looked like a passive manner but in reality she was soaking everything in...especially the glorious sun that warmed her whole body.
 
Sheena's eyes drift to Rosa, and she looks her up and down, checking her out instinctively before realizing what she's doing and immediately snapping her eyes away. Flushing, she actually turns her body slightly away too, trying to refocus on Alice and the others.
 
Alice rolled her eyes at Rose behind her darkened shades. She was acting in her typical seductive-suggestive attitude, when it was most inappropriate timing. The way Alice saw it, her flirtings between multilple people, skrewing with everyone's heads, would only provoke conflict and drama. She didn't care if it made her look like a jackass, she delt with people who think that all the time, and she learned it was best to embrace it rather than waste time trying to make up their minds, "Alright then?" she glanced around at the other team members, then checked her watch, it was a little after twelve, she smirked and said, "Anyone hungry?"
 
On that note, Jacob smiled, and mused to Jonathan, "I promised you a pizza anyway." Might as well get friendly with the team. "Hell, if the Y.J.H.Q. has a good kitchen i could cook something I learned back East. Why order Thai or Chinese when i know the know-how?"
 
Since she hasn't eaten anything but a stolen candy bar in the past 24 hours, Sheena is more than willing to eat, especially if it's free, and she nods slightly too eagerly. "Yeah, that sounds good."
 
Johnathan listened to the conversation intently. At it's conclusion,he said, "Food it is." At that moment,a nurse walked in,pushing a wheelchair,with a hook on it's back,for IV bags. "Alright,time to get this party on the road!" He reached up to his current IV stand,and removed the bag from it. When the nurse rushed over to help,Johnathan waved her aside,and said, "Thank you,but I got this." He slid off the bed,and landed with a heavy thud. He pulled himself across the floor extremely rapidly,and crawled into the chair,after he pushed it against a wall,all using one arm. He contorted himself so he could place the IV bag of Neuropozine,the anti-rejection medication,on the hook,and brought himself back to the rest of the team on the other side of the room with one push on the wheels,and even then,he had to hit the brakes.


"Where to?" He rolled to his bedside,and began loading his new property into the carry bags. "Also,I'll need to speak with both Batman and the Kryptonian. I refuse to operate in an 'Honour before reason' environment."
 
"Well," Alice said pulling out a modified iPhone and started tapping on it while she spoke, "There's a restaurant in a small town in Italy, it's owned by a retired League member. He still stays connected to the League though, so he has a teleporter in his home. He's an old family friend and told us to drop by anytime with friends," she looked up, "What do you think?"
 
Jacob began walking to the window. "I'm not in the mood for Italian, but i'll take a rein-check. Besides, i remembered i need to pay a visit to one of the League members. If anyone is gonna talk to Hawkgirl about me, it might as well be myself." He opened the window as far as he could. "First I need to change back into my old gear. Something tells me this is gonna be a long day." He turned back to face the group. "If anyone wants to contact me, Jonathan has my number. Call me if you need some back-up." With that, he jumped out the window, and spread his wings in flight.
