Little Love

Little Love is easy to come back to. The creatures from the previous, repetitive September 1sts are... nostalgic. Some of her earliest days with the X-Men had involved jaunts to the Savage Land, and this was very reminiscent of that.

While Ororo isn't exactly interested in bounties, she can't turn down help when it is asked. So she finds herself in the air, safe distances away from the bigger beasts and scooping them up into precisely-fashioned cyclones, spinning just fast enough to contain and disorient them. Easily done, considering how many times she'd had to do this to the same, or similar beasts before.

She looks to the nearest person assisting her with the job. "Where is the nearest holding station?"

Exelsior

Ororo is drawn to Exelsior, mostly because it seems that most of the younger mutants from her world are here. She makes her rounds, takes peeks at the homes they've made, makes sure they're eating things that aren't junkfood, and then explores the rest of the city.

Gabby and Julian had managed to create a little park for the friendlier beasts they rounded up at Little Love, so she comes to visit them on a weekend. Honestly, she can't believe they've really done this, and spends more time than she ought to just going around what they've managed to do. By the afternoon she'd flown with a perfectly docile pterodactyl and then had a sleeping sabretooth puma in her lap.

Of course, there's also the matter of the recurring power outages. While she's there, she offers what help she can - being a literal light in the darkness, kickstarting generators whenever they're needed, keeping freezers cold with sheets of ice and snow.

Then the total blackout happens, and she's flying off to the power grid to investigate. There must be something she can do. She's hard to miss - hair and body glowing with crackling lighting as she streaks across the sky.

[ ooc: feel free to leave a wildcard prompt too! Storm can be anywhere in the present as she's still exploring as much as she can. happy to plot something out further via PM or over plurk on almondlychee! ]

Why a little girl?

I mean, I'm not doubting the chaotic power of little girls, but that seems weird.

[agoddessonce]

Circumstance, really. She was driven by vengeance, and sought a suitable host. She chose her murderer's heir - a little princess.

Ah - but she was fine, in the end. When Bast's power returned to her and she could create herself new body, the little girl was left just fine.

[honeybadgerer]

Really?

No lingering trauma whatsoever?

[agoddessonce]

Oh, plenty of that - but not because of a divine possession. She'd lost her parents.

But she has many mothers and sisters to take care of her now. I think she will be alright.

[honeybadgerer]

That's all anyone needs.

[agoddessonce]

You know, you are very right. [ Gabby's smile is so cute. She gets a warm pat on the shoulder. ]

... But sometimes a cat helps. If I can't find one here, perhaps I will look for a shelter in the city.

[honeybadgerer]

I'm sure you'll find one you like!

[agoddessonce]

When I do, will you help me name it?

[honeybadgerer]

Absolutely! I'm good with names.

[ no. ]

[agoddessonce]

Then I will get back to you on that as soon as I find one I like.

[ It'll hopefully be a sabretooth-something. It might need to room witha Flerken. ]

[honeybadgerer]

Sure thing!
