Who: America Chavez and Nyx Ulric
What: It's time to be heroes
When: Thursday
Where: Through the doors on Tatooine

America had been laying low for a while, she'd felt a little bit too embarrassed to go around trying to make friends much since the fight and well she and Kate had some good moments since then but otherwise things had been fairly quiet. But she was itching to get out again, she'd heard some rumblings that the doors were doing something interesting again and so she decided that meant it was definitely time for her to check it out

So there she was on a planet covered in sand and well wasn't that just great? Miles and miles of it by the looks of it and no ocean anywhere. "How is this even fair?" She asked herself holding a hand up to shield her eyes from the glare of it before she was kicking up off the ground flying up over the dunes hoping to see more than just sand.

"I thought people said they were going to space?" This did not look like space and America was very tempted to send a letter to management about this. She wanted to go to space and here she was on some damn sand planet getting shot at - wait... getting shot at? America frowned and looked down, less off into the distance (spoiler: there was only sand that way) and instead at what looked like the gathered sort of militia that seemed to have come out of nowhere not far off and very interested in the woman that was flying overhead by the looks of it.

She got curiosity of course, but shooting at her? That was just plain rude and America dove down to well - not just get a better look but to get an idea of what she was dealing with here. Laser weapons to start, but more than that, she didn't know what they were, she'd never seen beings like these before. "Hey chicos maybe we just talk instead of shoot, yeah?" She offered as she flew lower so she could try and reason with them. People could be reasoned with sometimes. But then they shot again, and more of them and well America wasn't exactly forgiving. And considering she was always spoiling for a fight well it was time to kick some ass.

It didn't matter to her that she was seriously outnumbered, or that there were laser guns and things, she was just focused on the fight, the frustration that she'd love to take out at being stuck came out easily like this, and maybe these people didn't deserve it, but they'd shot at her.

Often times, America thought that she was the lucky one, when she could find people who put up with her for longer than just a day at a time, after all she'd just been bouncing her way through the multiverse since she'd lost her moms - so of course she was lucky when she could find people who would take her in for a time. But it was a little bit different now, not just being here, but since she'd gotten older, since she'd started putting down roots. It was still the first time that she'd considered maybe someone was lucky to have her.

She smiled, "Thanks, you're not so bad yourself." She told Nyx, because it was true - he'd held his own out there and he was kinder than she probably deserved as he helped her through the market finding what she wanted.

Watching his eagerness only fed her own as they checked out the weapon and had it explained to them, it was a weapon for a Wookie - whatever that might be, and how it wasn't everyone who could use them, she supposed maybe they were strong - but she had a feeling it was the sort of thing that Kate could handle. She made just a bit of a show like she was just considering it as the dealer told her a little bit more about it, but in the end she knew she was going to get it. It was absolutely perfect for Kate.

She haggled just a little with the dealer before she handed over the money and got the Bowcaster in return. "Okay this is definitely the coolest thing I've gotten since going through the doors." She told him as she slung the weapon over her shoulder. It made her feel some sort of way, having it - and she hoped it would do the same for Kate. "Thanks for showing me around, and you know - helping me to make this happen." She told Nyx quietly, he was entirely unexpected, but in a really good kind of way.

One thing Nyx could say regarding who was lucky who was not lucky. He was glad to have met America, and considered he was lucky to have as well. Though, Nyx was trying his eternal damnedest to stay optimistic being in a village of people he didn't know, and making the best of it.

Which gave him not only America, but also Five. Tony was nice, and his fawning over Carol, which Nyx would say was only platonic and nothing serious. Because it had to be.

"Pft." Nyx said at the woman. "You kidding? Look at me. I'm awesome." There was nothing but smiles from Nyx, but he was lonely deep down. Truly, he just would of loved to have one of his friends here. Lunafreya. The princess crossed his mind regularly.

Once America had the weapon Nyx was overjoyed. "That thing is awesome. She is going to think it's so cool. I think it's cool. I kinda want to keep it." Nyx teased as he looked around the market place. "You are very welcome, America." He responded with a bright wide smile. "Lets get out of here though, before we can't anymore or get mugged."
