Clone City, Valley of the Queens

[fire-in-flight.livejournal.com]

"This... this is not funny."

With a voice devoid of accent Sal found herself suddenly not at home, returning to her living room after a bathroom break while watching reruns of Avatar: The Last Airbender. If the place had been a nexus or something she was more familiar with she would have been perfectly okay with the entire situation.

Except that this was not a room, not a nexus, and not a cafe. It was a cave. She wasn't a fan of caves. They were gross and earthy and just... well... gross. This cave wasn't drippy or anything, but she still didn't like it. She growled to herself and walked awhile until she found a large French door. Which was weird in and of itself. She wrenched it open and found her feet on green grass.

"Where the hell am I?" She looked around at the enormous valley spread out around her.

This is surreal...

"A good portion of the kitchen floor caught fire. 'Cept I was there an' managed to keep it from bein' more than a scorch mark."

"Ve still have to go to Home Depot and look at the flooring," Kurt remembered.

"Wait... you mean you... make fire?" Fi blinked and looked at Sal quizzically.

[fire-in-flight.livejournal.com]

"Hm... Yeah..." That involved a drive to Stephenville. "Depends on what time it is when we get back, though..."

She then blinked over at Fi. "Yes. Back home people can either move water, rocks, air, or make fire." She pressed her palms together and then executed a very martial-arts punch to the air.

A small, controlled gout of flame arced up toward the ceiling, then faded into nothing as it got out of the range of Sal's own energy.

"Like that."

Kal swore softly, though he was grinning. "I knew that explosion was your fault! I knew it!"

[fire-in-flight.livejournal.com]

"I never denied it," Sal said with a grin. "But I think ye kin understand why I didn't say nothin'."

Accent's back. Sal felt much better.

[random_xtras]

"Yeah." He shook his head. "Too bad though. That would've come in handy a few times."

Then he looked at Fi as the clone cleaned everything up and put the test kit away. "So, you done here?"

[fire-in-flight.livejournal.com]

She chuckled. "Didn't you want to have a look-see with your machine?"

[random_xtras]

"Yup." Fi grinned as he turned away from the cupboard, what looked like a clear sheet of stiff plastic in one hand and a little microphone looking thingy in the other. "Um... who wants to put the goop on your belly?"

Because brave as he was, Fi didn't want to do that.

[fire-in-flight.livejournal.com]

"Um."

Sal looked at Kurt and shrugged.

[random_xtras]

"Goop?" asked Kal cautiously, wondering if he wanted to know.

Fi handed the little jar to Kurt, who took off the lid and poked a finger in.

"Ach," said the blue man with a wince. "It's cold. Celeste von't like it."

"Oh yes," Sal said, leaning back with her hands behind her head. "And I'm jus' gonna think this's the greatest thing ever. Just do it."

She lifted up her shirt a ways.
