ghost lunch

[greentheywere]

The tray preceded her. She wasn't familiar with the food -- Robin had rattled off a recitation but was clearly distracted -- but it inched forward. M'gann had familiarized herself with the lock mechanisms enough that she could use telekinesis to disable them, and push the door open hands free.

It creaked ominously.

That and the tray preceding her, that was her way of coming in with her hands up, so to speak. No weapons. Just lunch! She stayed outside the room, outside the doorway, carefully out of sight behind the wall, where she couldn't looking threatening.

I mean, if you can't see her at all...

She knelt... in the air. Just pulled up a little bit of nothing and hovered there.

"Well, a lot of it's classified," she said delicately, but with a warm smile. And hopeful he'd eat anyway if he wasn't thinking so hard.

"What do you know already? I know my uncle, the Martian Manhunter, has had some missions in Asia. Us not so much, I think the closest I've been before is India!"

It was a bit strange seeing her just sit down on nothing, but Omi was familiar enough with Schwarz to understand there were some with powers that did not belong to the average person. He also thought it was a little ironic that she was taping off a considerable bit of information as classified considering their purpose with him, but said nothing of it.

"Admittedly not much. Most of the news I follow is concentrated on more local levels. What was India like? Did you get a chance to learn about the culture there?"

[greentheywere]

Mm, yes, they didn't appear on the news much. The existence of the team itself was all-but classified-- it was obvious to anyone who went against them, but they were distinctly covert.

"No, we spent it in the jungle, being chased by wild animals."

An oversimplification, but interesting enough, M'gann figured.

"I think it was very warm and humid, but I'm not the best judge... Mars is pretty cold."

[oneblackcat]

Oh. That... didn't sound fun. But he bet she was right about the humidity and the heat.

"It is much further from the sun... Do you find Earth uncomfortably warm everywhere? Summers in Japan are pretty bad even for people used to them. I can't imagine what an adjustment it must have been coming from such a different climate."

[greentheywere]

"Not everywhere," she said mildly. "Underground is usually okay, and winter time--"

She paused. For a second, her eyes glowed green, then she screamed "Batman! Uncle J'onn!" and flew out of the room.
