Who: Nyx Ulric and Carol Danvers.
What: Nyx is showing off magic.
When: Saturday night.
Where: Panchos.
Rating: Low? Medium-rare? Who knows.

Nyx burned some time, before heading the direction he was supposed to go to meet this Carol Danvers. During his time he managed to scrounge up a black t-shirt so he wasn't going around any longer wearing his incinerated armor. At least he now looked something normal.

Spending the day learning his way around the network and exploring the area that they all now lived in left his day full. It was an uncomfortable feeling for the soldier to have nothing to do, so he naturally gravitated towards normal things that brought him about, but even that only lasted so long. Though the biggest thing he had learned about was that weird house with doors. Nyx hadn't had a chance to really check it out, and not that he'd dive in. Well, he would, but he thought it might be good to check around first and learn about a multidimensional house before using it.

Nyx walked, and checked out the damages that were still undergoing repairs as he approached Panchos. Quite the fight to cause that. Nyx had no where to talk. During his last fight, he assisted in demolishing Insomnia.

He at least won.

Walking in through the door of the bar and looked about. Finding a woman, he approached her. "Excuse me, miss." Nyx offered a polite smile, with his boyish charm. "I'm looking for Carol? She around?" Armed on his right thigh with the single kukri, he kept his hands behind his back. Old military habits you could say.

"Oh the Princess." Nyx repeated as he leaned in equally, probably too close also. Sure he could play this game of chicken. He was cool with that. That was perfectly fine. There was that coy smile of his quite in place. "You see there was this princess, and there is this story with it." He paused as if he was going to think about how to start the story and then followed up real well.

"And that's still a story for another day, Carol." He laughed lightly and shrugged. "I'm not nearly that drunk." With that being said he countered immediately following her lead.

"What's a Kree?" Though his smile was saying it all, that she didn't have to share. He was perfectly fine sharing uncomfortably close encounters like this, and sharing drinks.

"Yeah. That's usually how most stories with princesses go." She stated matter of factly with that smirk still growing. "Get on with it, Disney." Okay...probably another reference he wouldn't know.

Though, it was nice to be the one with the references the other person didn't know rather than vise versa.

Her eyes narrowed when he did that. Son-of-a... "Fuck you." She growled, very tempted to just punch him out at that moment.

He really wanted to know? She stared at him, studying him before nodding and deciding why not? "I was kidnapped, given a blood transfusion that changed my DNA and turned me into a hybrid, brainwashed, then inducted into an elite group of 'noble warrior heroes'." She paused to let that tidbit sink in.

"I lost six years of my life and the love of my life, missed out on our daughter growing up, and ended up leaving them anyway to keep the assholes who did this to me from completely extinguishing a species they wanted to destroy because they wouldn't bow down to the Kree empire."

She didn't want to go into the rest. Being manipulated by Yon-Rogg or the whole issue with her nightmares. There was clearly a lot there, but Carol had already revealed the overall narrative.

"So...princess?"

The fuck you was more wonderful than he had wanted to admit. Though then he listened to her words very carefully. Taking in the bits she was willing to share, and the pieces that were far end of things. That was all pretty messed up. That was for sure. So she was fucked with on a grand royal scale.

Nyx's face was straight, because that wasn't a story for smiles. It was a story for understanding and accepting. Though the only words that left his mouth were; "You're absolutely incredible." And he meant it. It took a specific type of person to pull of what she did. There was new found quality of respect in his eyes.

Though now it'd have to be his turn.

"Princess Lunafreya Nox Fleuret of Tenebrae." Nyx started. "Oracle and keeper of the destiny of Prince Noctis, her betrothed." He took a deep breath and continued. "During the conflict with Niflheim, she was taken capture and as a plot to over throw Lucis." He considered his words. "My kings parting words before I watched him get slayed by the man I killed before I died was to protect and see the princess from the city."

Nyx shifted uncomfortably about the events. "I did just that. We fought our way through the city together, against stacked odds, so she could escape and deliver the Rink of Lucii to the Prince. The ring only accepted blood line royal family. Those who put it on, and the Kings of Lucii didn't find worthy would..." To make his point he held his hand up and flames appeared in his hand. "You get the point. Anyway, this princess I did my damnedest to save and protect and I got caught in a courtyard when I thought I was meeting other Glaives, just to find out they also betrayed the crown. I was shot.. once or twice." That point he leaned back and raised his shirt revealing a number of scars, but he pointed to the traitor scar which the bullet ripped through him. "So then Captain Titus, also known as Glauca, came to recover the princess and the ring, but also my childhood friend, also Glaive arrived to save the day, partially." He took a deep breath think of Libertus. "He bought time and to uncover who Titus was. And as I was dying and bleeding we were out of many options. The princess near me, went to put the ring on in hopes to use the power and I stopped her." Then he shrugged. "I put it on. Bartered a deal. Power of the kings, for the night to save the princess, kill a traitor, and deal as much damage as I could to the Empire."

Leaning back in, he said somewhat softly. "That would be my Princess Lunafreya, the Oracle and bringer of destiny." Of course, it was chopped up history of the last events, but it outlined the full story well enough. "And then, I burned from the inside out from the magic pulsing through me." Which he still held currently, he just hoped it didn't fry him a second time.

He said she was incredible and she shook her head, about to roll her eyes and look away before he stared his story. The truth was hse sort of hated herself. How could she abandon Maria and Monica like that? Again? She had meant to come back, but...that was another regret. Another drink. It was better to move on and listen.

As she listened to his story, her expression was unreadable. She understood the motivations that would bring him to make such a trade, and she could tell that he had been somehow in love with this girl. She also knew a thing or two about how it felt to burn from the inside out, even if she never died from it.

"Sounds like you got your revenge." She said finally, quietly nodding toward him. "And she's alive, at least." A faint smile, trying to cheer him up. If only a little.

"But yeah....sometimes doing what you think is the best thing for all can really, really suck." She finished her cup. She was going to say it was her last for the night. She'd lost count and she was definitely drunk- two nights in a row now. Tomorrow's hangover would be horrific.

Despite her opinion, Nyx thought she was incredible. Despite her feelings, he still would think it. But one of the bigger notions, as a soldier, Nyx understood the regrets of a person and the decisions they make when they think on them later. As for his love for the Princess, Nyx would say it was the same love he had with the rest of the royal family. The Princess was off limits, and he wouldn't have dreamed of that one.

Got his revenge? Was it revenge he was seeking. That statement alone made him consider his actions. Sure, he felt betrayed by his mentor, and that man had killed his king. There was a shake in his head. "Wasn't about revenge." He responded softly. "It's about duty and honor. Also, it's just the right thing. People should just do the right thing." And he could see what she was trying to do, a smile crossed his lips. "I only pray and assume she got out. You have to remember, I was busy kicking ass to see her out personally. I handed the escorting off to Libertus, that friend Glaive of mine."

When she polished off her mug, Nyx followed suit. The pair of them had some rollercoaster talks this evening. That was nice. As she set her mug down, Nyx flipped his upside down and set it on the bar top. "It really does, but if no one else will see the future secured for those who wish to see it, my life is nothing in comparison."

Looking to the door he came in and back to Carol, seeing this evening coming to a close. "See me out, yeah?"

"She's probably fine." Maybe. Carol was just trying to comfort a friend(?). She wasn't really sure if they were friends, but the conversation was deep enough that she might as well consider it.

She could relate to his duty and honor. She'd been dealing with the same thing her whole life, the desire to do what is right and for the right reason, even if it didn't always make her the most popular. She was watched curiously as he turned the mug over, clearly done. And with a nod, she stood straight.

"Sure thing. Need me to walk you home?" There was that cheeky grin again as she headed around the bar, not wobbling or anything. The truth was that she metabolized alcohol quickly, so even when drunk (and she was drunk), it never seemed to stick too long. She'd probably be completely sober in an hour or two. But, she would still have a hang-over.

"C'mon, where do you live?" She'd catch him if she had to, unsure of exactly how much the poor bastard had to drink.

Her words were heard, and he could only hope she was correct. Gods he hoped. Regardless, it was nice of her to say.

Following her posture, Nyx stood up. Yep. Drunk. Though he handled it very well. "Oh, come now." Nyx laughed. I don't need some escort home." Though he walked towards the door with Carol. He kept thinking to the amount of liquor he might have drank. It was a lot that was for sure. He'd had been topped of over a dozen times, but he nursed them mostly. Sort of. Not really.

When they hit the outdoors, the night air was refreshing. Clean and fresh. Something he really liked about here.

With her question he looked about. "Well I'm over there." Somewhere. Nyx looked back to Carol again. "Thanks for this." He commented. "Really. This was something pretty needed in my world right now." No responsibility, no worries. Just, pure unfiltered drinking with a new friend. "Though honestly, I appreciate the concern and the offer to walk me home." Nyx pulled his kukri. "Besides, I can travel pretty well with this." He laughed.

"You sure about that?" She was grinning a little as she monitored how he was walking. He seemed okay, but Carol was also trying to stay cautious.

It was nice out that night. Of course, most of the nights had been beautiful since she'd gotten here. She wondered if they got rain. Looking up at the sky, Carol realized how much she missed the night stars on Earth. This place was...different. It was like it was trying to be Earth and failing somehow.

"You're sure you're okay?" She knew he'd probably just wave her off, but she had to try.

"Yeah, just don't cut yourself with your toy, okay? I'd feel bad." Carol's smirk said it all as she waved him off and sighed, staring again up at the sky and realizing just how much she missed it. Or at least, her old home.

As her mind started to drift, Carol realized she needed ot be careful with such line of thought and turned back toward the bar and toward her "bed".

Yes, Nyx was sure, but there was something about the way she stared off. It made him feel a pang of guilt, but he was on his way anyway. Tossing up the weapon and catching the hilt he smiled. "I promise I'll be fine. Though." He pointed at her slightly with the weapon.

"This is a two way street. You feeling homesick, or lost. Let me know." Nyx smirked that boyish grin of his. "I'll swing on by, and we'll drink our sorrows away." He shrugged some. "Or talk. Which ever."

With that he spun and threw his weapon high and far over the buildings. He turned back to her quick and smiled brighter. "It was a pleasure to meet you, Carol." And just like that he vanished into blue particles, before continuing his warping towards his home.
