[ He's startled for a moment, tensed and nearly ready to start striking at the sudden appearance of someone very near to him — but then he realizes who it is. He's hugging her back in the next second, just as tightly. No more of him seems to be metal than last time — really, he doesn't seem much different at all.
He considers making a joke, but the debate doesn't last long at all. Actually, he'd much rather kiss her. So he does just that, pulling back just far enough to line up the angles first. Gods, he's missed these lips. ]

[For just a tiny bit longer than a second, she's kissing him back, before she remembers herself and pulls away.]
Down, boy.
[But she's still grinning and cupping his face in her hands like she just needs to look at him for a second, to reassure herself he's real.]

[ He doesn't much mind being pushed away, but Steph isn't the only one with hands up to frame a face. He sets one at each side, palms at her neck and thumbs stroking her cheeks fondly. The left one is cold — he hasn't bothered with gloves in a while. ]
Have I really been away so long that you'd grow so cold? Why, a triumphantly returning war hero really ought to have a kiss!
[ Nevermind that he already grabbed said kiss. Double nevermind that he's not any kind of returning war hero. He grins, adds: ] Or two. Three, for luck?

[She shivers at the cold hand, laughing before she leans in to press a kiss to his brow.]
Some of us have been busy while you were off adventuring. I'll have to take a raincheck.
[And she does actually mean that; the agreement with Saul was that they talk about it beforehand, so...]

if they'd gone to my universe this problem would be over by now
Ah, well, I suppose I'll live...
[ He draws back somewhat further, but can't let go entirely. It just means that he drops his hands to rest at her forearms, still standing terribly close. ]
I'd ask about all that I missed, but really, I'm a bit more interested in what you've been up to. Not married yet, are you?

[She doesn't want to let go either, so she moves to take his hands, nevermind that one of them is cold.]
Not yet. [She huffs a laugh, just a little awkward because of that whole wedding ring debacle.] Me and Saul are - um, you know.
[sleeping together, but it's more than that, she's just not quite sure which word to use.
And her smile drops as she continues:]
Everything else is really fucked up.

[ Ah, so Saul is still in the picture. Her reluctance makes sense, then. Ah, well. But to the rest, he quirks a smile and leans in, pressing a quick kiss to her cheek, just at the corner of her mouth. ]
That's why I'm not asking about it, my dear.
[ He steps away, but holds tight to one of her hands to pull her along. ]
Let's see what supplies we have lying about in the kitchen! It's been far too long since I've cooked anything for someone.

[The kiss makes her sigh. She really would like to just drag him to a bed and forget about everything for a little while, but she won't do that to Saul. Especially not know.
Still, she follows without hesitation.]
What a coincidence, I can't remember the last time I ate a proper meal.
[It's said like a joke, but it kind of isn't.]

sure, but it still would've made a hell of a dent in their forces to lose all the masked they sent
Could Your Worlds Military Really Have Done Thhat
I Was Under The Impression Metahumans Werent Part Of Your Population
I Was Under The Impression Metahumans Werent Part Of Your Population
we've got a lot of metahumans. i'm not from a world like this one
the military would've helped, but it'd be the superheroes who'd make sure the invasion failed

So Elite Individuals Analogous If Not Superior To The Higher Tiers Of Transports
How Many Of Them Are There
How Many Of Them Are There
i don't know exact numbers, not every meta is public about it, but there'd have to be over a hundred superheroes operating in the usa at least. plus as many supervillains, a lot of them would help if it was a full scale invasion, since they don't exactly wanna lose their world, either.
Okay Those Are Very Impressive Individuals In That Case
there's a reason we haven't been invaded yet
[ He glances back at that, suffering a tiny stirring of guilt. Knowing Steph, that's probably a bit of a sore spot. She might even think she should have single-handedly fixed it by now. ]
Ah, well, it can't last. We'll manage that sooner or later.
[ He comes to a fork in the maze of VR rooms and pauses briefly, consulting his mental map of the place. Then he's got it, and they're moving on again. ]
I'm a bit hesitant to see what the kitchen has in store, though. Who's been running supply runs, do you know? I hope they knew what they were doing with kitchen stocking.

[Of course it is, and of course she does.]
Seems like we've done something to the place, but we're not sure exactly what just yet.
[She's not sure she wants to know, at this rate, unless it means they can get off the damn base.]
We were doing pretty good until the mess last month, I dunno if people've been keeping up with supply runs in the wake of that.

[ Man, he's so not ready to plunge back into the drama of this place. So he keeps an intentionally neutral face on that, and nods lightly. ]
Well, I'm sure I can make do. But if it's terrible, I hope you know who not to blame!
[ Yes. Food. Much safer a topic. ]

[Yeah, she can get that, so she tries to push all tha away and just - enjoy the fact Vanadi is back.]
As long as it's not prepackaged crap and I don't have to cook it myself, you're not gonna hear a single complaint outta me.
