War Games (or Welcome Back, Kassi.)

[atlanteanhellion]

Her six months of "water time" were up. Now, as she did every year this time, Kassi had to return to the Surface to do her rotation with her mother. The only trouble this time was that the rotation came while Kassi was legitimately busy in Atlantis participating in the annual event known as War Games. As Kassi was technically "of age" in Atlantean society and being groomed for military leadership she was expected to participate during the entire event. That she was half Surface Dweller didn't matter to the public. Still, some fashion of compromise was made--and Kassi wondered just what sort of fit her mother had thrown to make it so--and Kassi returned to the Surface and the Avengers as planned.

...albeit in what was essentially a metal bikini, carrying a trident, and with blood smudged on her face.

"Humans! I'm home."

"We probably do. Sweats first, then we'll raid the kitchen. I think there are Cheetos. This way, your Conqueringness." He kept his hands in the air as he headed toward the gym.

"I guess I should be threatening you with the pointy end of this thing, huh?" Kassi half pointed the trident at him as she followed him to the gym.

"It is very pointy," he agreed readily. If she actually poked him with it, he would turn very green. But he wasn't worried about that happening. That would threaten her getting Cheetos.

He lead her to the gym and the closet with the spare sweats in it. He nodded to it because his hands were occupied with the air. "They're in there, O Underwater Menacingness. The ladies locker room is just over there."

He nodded in that direction, too.
