"Food is good," agreed Dave, and descended on the pizza and doughnuts with a fervor that suggested a growth spurt.

It was certainly good food food. It had been a while since you've had Earth junk food.

"Red, you have some excellent taste," said Dave, wiping his lips with a napkin.  "That was amazing.  Thank you."

"hey, no problem, since you're gonna be our new teammate, right?" Red Shift asked.

"Absolutely," said Dave.  He did look at the other two for confirmation, though.  He suspected that Red Shift had a way of acting on her own...

The other two nodded.

"Excellent," said Dave.  "A toast:  To the team!"

He drank something.

"...so," he added, "does anyone sleep here?  Just asking; I've got a bunk in El Liberador."

"We have some bedrooms, but no one stays here full time," Tinker said. "I'll show you."

She led you through the building, which had a small library/computer room, what Tinker said was a training room and then to a series of five bedrooms that were identical, though the girls had already claimed one each. Each had a bed, dresser, shelf and smallish TV.

"If you're okay with it, it looks better than what I have on my ship," said Dave.  "Built for humans and all that."

"Do you need anything else?" Tinker asked.

"Oh, probably," said Dave.  "The living-on-Earth stuff.  Clothes.  A phone.  That kind of thing.  Honestly, I ought to go shopping.  I've been working on getting paid by selling translation services to some government types..."

"Oh right," Tinker said. "The bathroom's down the hall here on the right."

"Uh, yes, that would be good," said Dave.  "Oh, hey, a plus for the group while I'm here:  I do have room for a bunch of passengers on El Liberador.  If we ever need to go somewhere fast, we can do that."

"Cool, but I think Scion's parents don't let her out of the city," Tinker said.

"...who are your parents, Scion?" asked Dave.

"Ultrawoman and Ian Vincible," Scion said.

"Is there a reason they don't want you to leave town?" said Dave.  They were letting her be a superhero, after all.

"To limit where I can go," Scion said. "I can hero only in places they can easily watch me."

"Are they trying to protect you?" Dave asked.  "You seem pretty tough..."

"They do have some powerful enemies," Scion said.

"Do they cause trouble for you often?" Dave asked.

"I'm going to assume you mean the enemies and not my parents, though I have opinions about them too," Scion said. "On occasion."

"So clearly what we have to do is fight together with you well enough that your parents relax," said Dave.  "Got it."

"Thanks, they are crazy tough though," Scion said.

"Sure, but we can probably do better if we work together," said Dave.  "I'm pretty tough too."
