Nico Minoru, 18

[nicom-inoru]

hazywolves·:

NO MATTER WHAT, KAROLINA WOULD ALWAYS LOVE NICO. It was hard not to. The fact that Nico had left solely to practice her magic was something so on-brand for her that it was a little difficult to stay upset with her for leaving so abruptly, because sure, it could have been dealt with better. But, it wasn’t like she had started up anything nefarious or anything that would have really been that much of a dealbreaker for the blonde. “Awesome. Maybe we can set something up for a weekend at some point.” She could even make dinner, it had been a while since she’d cooked for anyone besides herself. It might actually be nice to cook for two for once. Karolina laughed, mostly because that was probably the best-backhanded compliment she would ever get. “Thanks. I’ve always wanted to be someone’s favorite giant rainbow.” She quipped back. Tea in hand, she sat across from Nico as she tried to understand how Gert Yorkes could be alive, still. Maybe there was some sort of weird magic going on. She just hoped that MORGAN WASN’T BACK. If she was, this city was definitely in danger. “You just read my mind. I’m a little worried that she has something to do with this, honestly. Maybe we should try to investigate a little bit, just to make sure that this is a happy ending and not the start to something bad?” It would be kind of nice, she decided. Not only to get her mind off of the countless papers she had to write but, she missed having little missions. “The runaways with a little less running. That sounds really nice.” She commented with a small smile. The smile remained as she listened to Nico speak, not really being able to help it. In any capacity, she was thrilled to hear that Nico wouldn’t be trying to escape to be on her own for a while. “You were missed. But, also, very much welcomed back. I’m glad you’re here.” She replied, a hand on Nico’s.

“Yeah, I- I would like that, dinner for two, and actual food this time,” Nico added in a light hearted tone. “We can take that opportunity to check out your apartment too, might as well,” she shrugged, trying her best to conceal her excitement. Her gaze fell quickly onto the marbled table top, “you’re probably Chase’s favorite giant rainbow too, and Xavin’s,” she reminded her blonde friend. She tapped her foot lightly on the wooden floor as her hands brought her cup of hot chocolate nearer to her lips and took another sip. “We could,” the Wiccan nodded slowly, in her mind, she was figuring out the ways in which both of them could approach that, kidnap her and interrogate her? call for a peaceful discussion? “Chase did seem pretty happy, and he should know gert way better than all of us,” she reasoned, “yet again, Chase is pretty much an airhead too... So I think we should investigate.” 

She allowed her hand to linger beneath Karolina’s for a while before holding up her hand and squeezed it gently, “Well, I’m glad I’m back too, it’s probably time to round up the rest of the gang huh?”

[stilltalkingarchive]

“THANKS FOR INDULGING ME and, you know, coming out for a drink…” looking towards her new-found friend, lips twitching into an easygoing smile. try as she might, but allison was trying to keep herself from losing control of herself. emotions were a mess, mind was a mess – and home wasn’t far from her mind. at least the academy and her siblings were tugging at her thoughts every time she moved. getting this drink was going to loosen her up for the moment. “so, how do you like beautiful los angeles—- isn’t it AMAZING ??” there were people around them, eyes danced around, hoping someone would answer her - not only her guest.

[nicom-inoru]

In the whole spirit of opening herself up to knowing more people, Nico decided it will be a good idea to heard out with some new acquaintances. She lifted her glass of rum and coke and brought it to her nose, crinkling her facial feature briefly before proceeding to sip on it, “I’ve lived here all my life, though,” she paused, musing a little, “it had been hella weird lately. What do you think of the place?”

[wickedtcwns]

THERE WAS NOTHING AS GOOD AS DRIVING AROUND IN HER COMET, where she could be seen, where she could feel.. free. truth to be told, peyton felt.. trapped. trapped, in her own mind, trapped, in the memories that she was sure were missing and.. she hated feeling hopeless, she hated feeling like there was nothing that could be done about it.. peyton sawyer had never been a woman to stand by and let everyone else do things for and.. that wasn’t going to change anytime soon. no, she was her own home and.. even if she couldn’t remember her past.. who gave a damn about it? she could remember herself, she could remember what she liked and.. driving and drawing were two of those things. when she saw someone’s eyes on her car, peyton grinned, putting aside her sketchbook for a moment.  “sweet ride, isn’t she?”

[nicom-inoru]

Minding her own business, Nico looked down at the ground beneath her feet, she kicked some loose pebbles that obstructed her way. It was yet another regular day in her city, peace and quiet just as she liked it. Ironically, she did find the lack of chaos a little suspicious. Didn’t bother her much, she didn’t let it bother her. Her footsteps slowed into a halt as she noticed a brunette in a very interesting, vintage automobile. “Yeah, that’s pretty cool,” she pointed out, “and you’re drawing?”

HEARING HOW EXCITED NICO WAS REMINDED HER OF THE PAST. They used to share everything in their makeshift bedroom back at the hideout. And despite not missing the circumstances behind living there, she did miss the people that she lived with. It had been, in its own way, a lot of fun. Finally, she’d felt as though she had a FAMILY, one that she’d chosen. “Well, then, I think that means when I said I’d owe you one, we’ll have to cash that in soon. Maybe a congratulatory dinner sometime ? If you’re okay with that, I mean.” Did she just ask her ex out? Even if it was as friends, she just wanted to show how proud she was of Nico and part of her love language was visibly showing that. “I still have them, I’ve been practicing but, mostly, it’s hard to not draw attention to myself as, y’know, a giant rainbow.”

But, she did love her powers. They had become integrated within, a large portion of her own identity. They meant a lot to her. “That doesn’t make sense. We saw her die, didn’t we?” Karolina wasn’t sure if everyone was on the same page or not. She had talked to Chase and he did seem…oddly upbeat. That explained that. “Now we just need to locate Molly and Alex, then we’d…wow, we’d be all together again.” She wasn’t sure if she wanted that or not. So much had happened to them all, together and apart. “Do you think you’ll stick around awhile?”

Her eyes flickered wide for a moment, Karolina just asked her for dinner. Does this mean that she wanted to spend more time with her? That’s just too good to be true isn’t it? She shifted her weight slightly, “Dinner? Of course, I would like that Karolina,” she begun, trying to mask her excitement. Her mind wandering to the thought of actually getting back together with Karolina, Nico quickly shoved it to the back of her mind. A chuckle escaped her lips, “my favorite giant rainbow,” she nudged the taller girl lightly on her left arm. 

Shaking her head quickly, she casted her line of vision down on the tabletop, “I have no idea, I tried asking Gert, but she gave the same Gert response, she told me to just celebrate the fact she’s back.” Nico pursed her lips, “that’s very ... gert. Well, I just hope it isn’t some Morgan Le Fay stunt again, but I don’t sense any darkness in her, she’s probably back... for good,” A smile crept onto her face, that smile carried hope. Nico listened as Karolina went on about Molly and Alex, she hoped that they were doing fine. “We’ll be the runaways again,” she echoed, “but with normal lives this time.” As much as Nico enjoyed her time learning how to control her powers, she would rather stay with the rest to fight, maybe they wouldn’t have dispersed if she had stayed. “I don’t think i’ll be leaving anymore,” Nico mused, locking her brown hues to the other’s baby blues, “I’m not going to lose you, or the rest, again,”

“ i don’t know. do you want me to stay? if you say yes, i’ll stay forever. “ karolina & nico

Karolina x Nico

She didn’t expect Karolina to speak the thoughts Nico harboured inside of her, let alone articulate them so vividly. She loves her, she loves her more than her life even and she missed falling asleep and waking up next to her, she even missed the thought of it. Nico tends to feel more than she likes to admit, but with Karolina, that girl knows how to get her, she feels less guarded with her.

Caught. They’re both caught in a crossroad; the way Karolina threw the question at the Wiccan, the way she presented it, made Nico feel like the most important person in the world. Tucking a lock of hair behind her ears, Nico inched a little closer to the blonde, the familiar scent comforted her. “Karolina, I- I- I would love if you stayed, you complete me,” she whispered, resting her head on her shoulder.

Waverly or Thorn & Nico > “ i came here in peace, i swear. “

Waverly x Nico

Nico groaned in frustration as she walked over, once again, to pick up the axe that had fallen onto the ground. Apparently her magic used to be strong enough to break glass but wasn’t strong enough to carry an axe. It was probably due to the staff which gave her a boost. She wasn’t very discrete about her magic these days, the climate of this city changed drastically ever since she came back. There were way more new faces, way more interesting characters and much more weird energy in the air, she can feel it. 

Closing her eyes in concentration, she channelled her focus of the axe again and sent it flying straight into a tree.  “Nice,” she huffed softly before turning around to see a lady staring at her. “I came here in peace, I swear.” Waverly told her. “Yeah, seems like you did,” Nico shrugged. “Sorry, I must’ve seem a little intimidating back there.”

DIANA SHOOK HER HEAD, offering the other a little smile. “i have my ways. some things are better left unsaid, trust me on this.” she wasn’t about reveal her secrets to a complete stranger, even if she was sure that the girl meant absolutely no harm, still.. she could never be sure. “i don’t know, no, but.. i’ve been fighting for a long time. i know my way around it by now.” she nodded, holding out a hand for the other to shake. “nice to meet you, nico. i’m diana. prince.”

Nico liked a powerful lady, she always thinks that Gert probably rubbed the importance of feminism on her, subconsciously, she picked it up, after all those years. She extended her hand in response to the brunette, a little weirded out by the fact that they were making acquaintances in the middle of a situation. She looked over Diana’s shoulder, “I think the cops are here,” she mumbled, stepped backwards slightly. She never had a good rapport with the cops, the last thing she needed was to get caught in between again.

@stilltalking(Tyrone and Gert) @nicom-inoru(Tyrone and Nico) @hazywolves(Tyrone and Karolina, & Tyrone and Luna) and @milestogomuses​(Tyrone and Dick)

As Tyrone’s back leaned against the building of the apartment, his chocolate brown hues shut. He was alone, with headphones plugged into his ears. Music was on full blast, as it drowned out the sounds around him. It had been a short while since he had found himself in Los Angeles, although he was already growing marginally use to it. In fact, Tyrone had not been here since he helped the  Runaways. He had not spoken to any of them since they all teamed up to rescue Alex.

That rescue was much more than he signed up for, but nonetheless, it was nice to meet some other kids with powers.  Fighting to protect their city as Tyrone and Tandy had. When Tyrone and Tandy chose to help, there was quite a lot he observed, especially the amount of bickering between Chase and the girl with the purple hair, or even Tandy being a little too harsh with them. Though he didn’t disagree on all her points, you can’t always think the worse of people.

 The longer Tyrone stayed here, the more he Tyrone only imagine his mom’s worry. Tandy had gone awol, so he really was all alone in this city. When he was alone, Tyrone’s mind ran in circles. It allowed him to process everything that had happened in the last couple of months. He went from being this normal kid from New Orleans just trying to make it out alive without being shot by the police to full superhero. The ones you would hear about through the news. Tyrone was not just any hero, he was part of Divine Pairing, although sometimes he was convinced the universe chose the wrong guy. 

[nicom-inoru]

Nico sauntered across the empty walkway towards the hostel, she knew this road by heart by now. All the years spent in the house building friendships, creating meaningful relationships, all the tears shed and joy shared... She felt that it was quite a waste to have them all gone the moment she decided to run. Running away from the Runaways, how ironic was that? 

It didn’t take her much for her thoughts to complete a circle and she snapped out of her mind. The small gravel vibrates beneath her feet with every step she took. She noticed a familiar figure standing by in a distance, “Ty?” the small framed girl called out, increasing her pace. “Hey, Ty is that you?” she called out once again as she approached him.

DIANA WAS USED TO HAVING A FEW FANS OVER THE YEARS - nothing too impressive, she hated being recognized for the work that she did as wonder woman, because.. well, to be honest, it was very much embarrassing, but.. she couldn’t help it but admit that this was kinda cute. “oh, i did. and i mean, he deserved it. he was about to rob that store over there.” she pointed to the store across them, before nodding. “thank you, though. i just did what everyone else should have.” she gave her a nod, before shrugging. “maybe next time. what’s your name?”

Nico raised both her brows after taking a good look at the well beaten man on the concrete pavement groaning. He was obviously much heavier and bulkier than the lady in front of her, “wait, how did you?” she asked, clearly confused, “I mean, he’s strong, you take combat classes too?” the girl tilted her head to the side, “I think that’ll be really cool. I’m Nico,” she replied, “and you are?”

[nicom-inoru]

hazywolves·:

KAROLINA THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE NICE TO EVENTUALLY INTRODUCE NICO TO PEGGY CARTER. But, given the fact that she was a historical figure that they both studied back in school, it was a little weird. Even so, having been able to train underneath her had been astonishing. She wasn’t sure if Nico would be as fascinated as she was but, it was still really cool. Kind of like if they’d gotten the chance to meet the Avengers but, a little more ‘girl power’ which suited Karolina a lot more than meeting, say, Captain America. “I’m still a little wary of it but, I like what you’re able to do. Your magic is beautiful, honestly. Just..I don’t know. Something about the way it comes from you is more meaningful.” She tried to explain.

The blonde stepped alongside Nico, trying to fall in step with her. Her long strides often left people behind in the dust but, after being with Nico for so long, she’d learned how to slow down. And now, it was just like the old days. “I think about it a lot. I think about Gert almost every day, even months later. What she did was so BRAVE, I can’t help but feel like I’ve never amounted to anything like that.” She held the door open for them both once it was pushed open and then stepped in after Nico. “You could always major in one and then minor in the other,” Karolina ordered her tea and then once she was finished, turned to Nico, “Thank you. I’ll get it next time.” That sounded fair enough. “I’d just like to see you, honestly. I really missed you.”

“Of course you are,” Nico muttered under her breath, somehow, she felt a sense of relief more than a sense of irritation like she used to. Having Karolina care for her was more than she could’ve ever asked for. “I’ve levelled up,” she beamed excitedly, “i cant wait to show you more,” The petite girl let out a low hum, she hesitated before asking her friend, “and you? How about your powers? I think they’re beautiful too.”

Nico froze the moment she heard Gert’s name from Karolina’s mouth. “You know she’s back right?” the girl told the other, “I don’t know how but she is. Apparently Chase knew too.” Nico took both their drinks and moved towards an empty table and sat down. “I probably would,” Nico took a few moments to think through her modules before turning her attention back to Karolina. She enjoyed the moment that she’s having now, but somehow the normal isn’t very normal without her and her friends in the hostel and an evil somewhere. “I miss you too Karolina.”

[habitualvolunteer]

Tandy flexed her hand waiting for a light to shine, for a razor sharp dagger to grow. Her breath came heavier then as she changed to pressing her hands together waiting for a ball of light, something that could blast others back and blind them. But nothing came once more, Tandy began quickly shaking her head muttering under her breath. “No, no, no, no.” A hand clenched once more praying, begging for a dagger to blood so that she could fling it outwards at a wall, a way to release her anger. Yet nothing came, the warmth she typically felt, the connection she was suddenly used to feeling deep in her bones, that awareness of her pairing and divinity was suddenly… gone. A desperation took over. “Hey!” The blonde shouted marching over she grabbed their wrist waiting a moment for the world to alter for her to be walking through their mind staring straight at their truest hope. Yet instead all she saw their arm and L.A streets. Something deep, deep down inside her knew then with certainty, something was horrifically wrong.

[nicom-inoru]

The number of times Nico had someone shouting at her was mildly alarming for the Wiccan. This time, it felt a little more desperate and threatening, she was right. When a hand grabbed her arm, she jumped slightly before throwing the other on the ground with her magical force. Nico turned around hasty only to find Tandy. “Tandy, you scared the shit out of me,” she crossed her arms, Nico opened her mouth once more ready to tell her off but stopped upon noticing the blonde’s distraught look, “Are you ok?” She asked cautiously.
