Homecoming (open to Avengers)
Charlie was glad to be home. In the end of it, he enjoyed his time hoping around through the timestream, and had gotten to become really good friends with his teammates.

But goddamn, it felt good to be back.

After stopping off at his parent's apartment for a quick change of clothes and a shower (his Mom wasn't home yet, but his Dad said that he'd tell her that they had come back later), Charlie made his way over to Avengers Mansion.

"Anybody home?"

"Oh, I have not forgotten, Vernique. We will certainly talk again soon regarding fashion." Eli smiles, before turning back to Luna.

"Oh, I wouldn't presume ask to join such an august group. You all have far more experience than I, though I am eager to learn from anyone willing to teach." Eli tells her.

He blinks when she says that there are books in the library on vampires.

"Are there now? Do you think I could be granted access in order to study them? There are many gaps in my admittedly spare knowledge about them.

I must address my ignorance before I can go any further with my ideas." Eli says.

	"I could take you there later, if you wished to see them?" Luna asked. "I am sure that no one mind if you studied them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I would appreciate that, Luna." Eli says, his English very much accented in Russian. "How long have you been a member of the Avengers? This is only my second trip to the mansion, but I did not see you here during my first." Eli says. "Are your parents Avengers as well?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Charlie blinked. "Yeah...I guess I will." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Around eight months, I want to say," Luna said. "I joined with my best friend shortly after I got word that the Avengers were a short a couple of members. Both of my parents have been Avengers, and I have known the majority of their children my entire life." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Eli nods. "Then you must have arrived when we left. Timing really is everything." Eli says.

"Kalypso only brought me here that day to meet the Avengers, as I have long been a fan of their exploits. Then Kang attacked and suddenly we were chasing him throughout time.

I am an Eternal, from Polaria. My people are not as open to relations with humanity and others as the Olympian Eternals. My father has issues with humans, to put it midly." he says.

She smiled. "It is. But you saved the timestream. And for that, we are all thankful."

Luna nodded. "I can actually see where you're coming from, a little." She said. "I am an Inhuman, on my mother's side. Though we are trying to improve our relations with Earth and other races, we've been fairly...closed off in the past. My mother was the first to marry outside of her race, though she may have been given some leeway as a member of the Royal Family...and my father's side has not always been in touch with humanity, either."

"Yes, my people are very insular as well. My mother has often told me that immortality does not always confer wisdom; wisdom must be sought and cultivated." Eli says.

"My mother enjoys humanity, as does my cousin Sersi. My father, sadly, believes that humanity is only meant to serve our people. I have never subscribed to that belief, nor will I.

Not when I have seen the best of humanity embodied in my friends and their deeds. I have also seen a possible future that gives me hope for change, and so I will do what I need to to make it possible." Eli says.

	"I have spent the majority of my life on Earth," Luna said. "I have seen the good that they are capable of, and the bad. While my family may think the worst of them at time, there are plenty of people of out there willing to do good and change the world. I just wish that they could see that."

	"And I thought I was the only telepath here." Eli jests, smiling brightly at her. "You just read my mind, regarding how I feel about humanity, Luna. Now, did I hear you correctly? You said your mother is royalty. Does that make you a princess as well?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_feel_you 2011-01-24 04:24 am UTC (link)
	"Great minds think alike, perhaps?" Luna asked, giving him a small smile. She nodded. "I am," she said. "I am a princess of the Inhuman Royal Family. Though please...do not let it affect how you think about me. I have always been a little... uncomfortable with my status." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, if it helps, my father is the ruler of Polaria, so...I am technically a prince. Sort of. So this is really only an informal meeting of royalty." Eli grins. "I promise not to ask you to dance or recite your lineage." he teases. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_feel_you 2011-01-24 04:45 am UTC (link)
	"I am a terrible dancer so I am thankful for that," Luna said. "And as for my lineage, I would have no problems reciting my mother's side. It is my father's side that gets a little complicated." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, then I will doubly not ask you to do so." Eli says. "So, do you live here at the mansion or do you have a civilian life outside of the team?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I live here at the mansion," she said, "Though I do volunteer at the public library on a regular basis. I hope to get a job there, someday." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Libraries are amazing places. I could sit in one all day if I let myself. May I infer that you enjoy reading?" Eli asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have gone into a library when they opened and stayed until they kicked me out," Luna said with a laugh. "And yes, I do. I read anything put in front of me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Something else we have in common." Eli notes. "I am glad that I do not need sleep. It cuts into my reading time." he chuckles. "What is your favorite book?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_feel_you 2011-01-24 05:52 am UTC (link)
	"Now I'm jealous," Luna said, "I wish that I didn't have to sleep so that I could read more." She laughed. "Asking me to pick just one? Now that's not fair." She laughed. "Though honestly...I don't think I actually have a favorite book." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, if you were stuck on a deserted island with only one book, which book would it be?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_feel_you 2011-01-24 06:04 am UTC (link)
	"Here we go again with the unfair questions," she teased. Luna paused for a second, thinking it over carefully. "Probably my copy of the complete novels of Jane Austen," she said. "It definitely counts as one book, since they are grouped together in one." She nodded sagely. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good choices, all of those." Eli says. "I think I would take Tolkien novels. They've managed to squeeze the Lord of the Rings into a single book, so I would take that. Or, I would take Of Mice and Men." he says. "What book would care to see burned out of existence?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	i_feel_you 2011-01-24 06:22 am UTC (link)
	Luna nodded. "Also good choices, though I would be more partial to Tolkien. Not that I mind Steinbeck, though I always find that I have push myself through the Grapes of Wrath." The next question didn't take as much hesitation. "That would be the Twilight books," she said. "I am amazed that I managed to read all four of them without setting them on fire."
