((OOC: I don't know if you guys read it exactly, but you're chars are not sitting out the next mission-just the training/patrol part. That's just what Tiruins RP is implying.
Also, sorry to see you go Nirur. I hope you didn't just have a minor ragequit because you thought that, lol.
Welcome to the game, Zako! Here's hoping you don't get an animal based power.

It was Desmond!
"Good Evening to you too, Desmond. We're very grateful that you came to visit us, given our state." She took a slice after being offered and ate it - she was also given medication for her allergy, so this time was better than she could imagine, moreso with the atmosphere. "Send Jenny my regards, they do make good pizza!"
She paused a while, noticing the cheer on his face. Um, seeing as you and the others would be going into the next mission without us, well, it's just perfect that even in the little time we've had together, we're all working like close allies and friends. It's like, a better life. Better company."
For all the training she had, just speaking to the man caused her to falter in her train of thought. What could she do in this time...
He took a bite of pizza, and abruptly decided it Heaven didn't have pizza like this, it wasn't a place he wanted to go.
"They won't keep you in here that long, Iraes. The Doc twisted it around, but he pretty much admitted they're keeping you here to observe any strange effects of your super powers have on your injured state, things like that...I suppose, they don't want you transform into a werewolf or something while no one is looking...you are looking a little scruffy, though. *And* it is a full moon, tonight..."Desmond replied, raising one eyebrow questioningly, bubbling humor touching his words.
He laughed, hoping she would laugh too-and steeled his nerves in that moment. Another bite of pizza helped.
"Humor aside...I know what you mean. I'm the sort of person, just another workaholic before all this. No time for friends or family or dating, of course. Gotta keep climbing the corporate ladder, etc, etc. Fast tracking to an early grave.
But, things are different, now. I'm coming to see this team as our family. We share all the same dangers, go into the same situations, train, fight, and bleed together...I think...we're all stronger than we've ever been. And, I'm not just talking about the powers. We're stronger as people, as Humans even. Because we're living and fighting for others now, instead of just strictly for ourselves.
Heh, I hope that didn't come off too sappy. Pizza makes me philosophical.
...But, to really put a pin on it-I'm becoming a better person because I know you, Iraes-and, I'm really glad to count you as my friend. More than just a friend, actually. A partner." He smiled hopefully, letting his words sink in-and, not letting any tension show-and mostly succeeding.
Desmond remembered, as he had been driving back to HQ, pizza in the driver seat-his gaze had been drawn to the window for a moment, where night had been marching inexorably onward. It was awfully beautiful, he thought-the dusky sky was a riot of brilliant orange and luminous gold, oncoming blackness of night and the tender white of scant clouds. The eternal struggle between dark and light.
He came back to the present, and looked back toward Iraes, who seemed to be smiling at him in a hopeful way.
He thought at that moment, honestly-she's truly as radiant as the sun.
And Desmond would later believe, that he began to fall in love with Iraes, right at that moment. Over pizza, awkward but sincere smiles, his thoughts dwelling of the rapidly retreating light of day-hers, on the full dark, with many stars.
