A somewhat bedraggled group of Legendary and Riot Force members stepped out of Terra Volta late in the evening, another attempt on the reactor by the Sky
Raiders thwarted. Terrence activated his Ouroborus portal for several that could access it to get home, while Lynna held Valles up somewhat as she watched
Enynn drastically adjust Tam's worldview again by suggesting they retire home for a nightcap. Given the earlier sparks flying between the two, Lynna
wasn't surprised at all when the young Peacebringer followed the redhead into the sky, heading off to wherever the redhead called home.
Watching Terrence warp out via the Ouro portal and Sammy head off into Pocket D muttering something about security levels and "jerks!", Lynna smiled
softly as she looked over at Valles. "You look ready to go to bed."
"I...." a long yawn broke the young woman's train of thought, as she caught herself and pressed the button on her storage widget that brought her
back to the cute little white dress that she'd picked out for their date. Lynna made a mental note to have Braende help convince her to keep it. Walking to
the Green Line, the two talked about this and thats in the late evening, enjoying each other's mutual company. Stepping inside the railcar, Lynna found
them a pair of seats, enjoying the feeling as V leaned over onto her shoulder.
As they approached their destination, however, Lynna looked over at V to let her know, only to be confronted with the fact that her girlfriend had fallen
asleep entirely on the trip there. Which was saying something, Lynna noted to herself, given the ride had only taken about seven minutes or so. Shaking her
slightly and talking to her failed to rouse the young woman, and so, with a sympathetic look from the conductor, Lynna physically lifted the somewhat slighter
girl out of her seat and onto the station platform. This alone pretty much exhausted what little physical strength Lynna really had, but it let her out of the
train, allowing her to do what she was fairly sure she could. Shifting into her Dwarf form, she reached down and gently cradled the now much lighter V in her
large claws and walked out of the station, before getting a clear line of sight to do a short teleportational hop. Thus, she slowly made her way towards the
Paragon University campus, and home.

Braende looked over as the phone in the apartment rang, setting her book down and picking it up. "Yes?"
"Hey, B? This is Sephie down at the lounge desk. Natalie's here with a friend of hers, but I think they're gonna need your help getting her up to
your room."
Braende blinked slightly, before shrugging. "Okay, I'll be on my way." As she headed to the elevator, she wondered why exactly Lynna(and she was
sure it was Lynna. They had been out on a date, after all) would need her help getting Valles upstairs. She
couldn't imagine that Lynna had been able to get V drunk, or that she'd bring her here first if she'd been injured on some heroic escapade. Thus it
was with puzzlement, not worry, that Braende stepped out of the elevator and walked into the front lounge of the apartment complex.
Looking around, she failed to see anyone, catching the eye of the stark white haired girl sitting at the front desk. Sephie smiled friendily enough at her,
pointing at the front door with a look that suggested suppressed humor. Braende gave her an amused look and went to the door....
...where she was confronted with the image of a sleeping V, in a dress most likely to be the one she'd mentioned getting for the date itself at Icon,
cradled in the enormous stone-like claws of a Black Dwarf, which was doing its best to look somewhat a mixture of sheepish and nonchalant as it stood on the
front porch of the building. As Braende looked at it, the massive stone creature gave a slow, ponderous shrug, as if to say "I don't know what to do
now". Lowering her gently into Braende's arms, Lynna shifted back into her human form, sighing slightly. "Sorry. Ended up saving Terra
Volta," she noted. "V was...well, you know how she is."
"Ah. Overexerted herself with her blast powers?" Braende asked as she slipped one of V's arms over her shoulders.
"Yeah, pretty much," Lynna said as the two carefully guided the still sleeping V into the elevator. "Poor girl needs to work on her
stamina."
"You have no idea how long I've been saying that to myself," Braende chuckled, pressing the button for their floor.

"Oh, silver blade, forged in the depths of the beyond. Heed my summons and purge those who stand in my way. Lay
waste."
