Star-Lord has posed:
It's just another routine day at Titans Tower. Titans doing whatever it is they do. Usually, only one Titan is out to greet Peter as he comes in for a landing... but this time, there are unexpected observers as the pod like shuttle zips through the skyline over Metropolis, making a beeline for the Titans Tower rooftop.

In about a minute, it'll be just over the rooftop itself.

Supergirl has posed:
It's a nice day to hang out on the rooftop of Titans tower and enjoy the warm sun and cool breeze as offered by the Island's usually mild weather patterns. Supergirl is up here in a lawn chair, settled next to a table of iced tea full to the b rim of ice cubes as she enjoys a peaceful day.

She had likely invited some friends to join her up here too, because counting clouds is soo much more fun with friends. Of course, sooner or later she spots a UFO in the sky..And it's making straight for the Titan's tower!

"Woah!" she stands up straight in her chair.

Captain Boomerang has posed:
Although he wasn't a Titan, Captain Boomerang had become a regular guest at the tower over the past few weeks. He still didn't have a password or anything, so he would have to be let in. Sitting in another lawn chair, he would pour more ice tea from the pitcher into his glass, and nearly spill some of it when he saw the craft coming towards them. Looking to Supergirl, "friend of yours, luv?"

Mon-El has posed:
    After a rather...annoying confrontation elsewhere in the Sol system, Lar receives an invitation from Kara to join her on the roof of Titans tower. However, seeing the Milano shuttle also headed there made him hesitate a bit. Seriously? Star-Lord was the -last- person he wanted to keep being around right now. But, he hated to turn Kara down more than that, as he felt rather guilty about a lot of things...regarding her.

    All right, all right, maybe he can...figure out how to get along with Quill.

    So he heads to the Tower, landing near Boomerang and Supergirl as they are enjoying iced tea and hopefully not causing more of it to spill. "Hey Kara," he greets, then nods at Owen. "Owen right? Thanks for your help at the mall the other day." he says politely.

Star-Lord has posed:
The shuttle or whatever it is -it really is a UFO, there's no known design for it on Earth- heads for the edge of the rooftop and lands gracefully. At least they're a competent pilot, whoever it is.

Then, the boarding ramp descends, and out comes... a rather strangely dressed man. Half cowboy, half vagrant.

All attitude though, with the swagger and confidence in his demeanor. "Hello friends! You /are/ friends, right? You must be, if you're on the tower. I thought Kori would be here, but I guess she's busy." He brings up a hand giving a semi-serious two finger salute as he gives a warm smile, "Peter Quill. Most people call me Star-Lord."

Supergirl has posed:
Supergirl seems only a bit distracted as she glances sidelong at Lar and Owen, smiling and nodding to them both, before her focus is back on the ship. Her first worry of course is if it's a hostile craft or not. Secondly if it's about to crashland into the tower..

But it soon becomes apparent that this ship, whoever's it is, is quite used to landing on the tower which is no simple feat. Clearly this person is a skilled pilot and particularly used to landing on the tower. "Hmm, now who could that be?" she only managed to take a single sip of her deliciously sweet and tangy tea before she climbs to her feet, stepping towards the shuttle.

"Hey..Err..Star Lord? You mean like, with the Guardians?" she blinks, "But why are you here?" she raises a quizzical brow at him, but doesn't look ready to fight him. He's supposed to be a good guy, right?

Captain Boomerang has posed:
"I go by Captain Boomerang when in costume," he said to Lar as his outfit technically qualified as a costume. But he had to admit, "yeah, can be hard to tell. I really ought to look into a mask or helmet or something." Though at the sight of Star-Lord, ""Looks like somebody's a fan of Firefly," Captain Boomerang commented in his Australian accented English at the way Star-Lord is dressed. Not recognizing the man, he's half tempted to refer to him as Captain Reynolds. Getting up from his lawn chair, he doesn't draw his boomerangs, the man has speed force assisted quick draw, but he does ready the action. "Guardians?" He repeated, and whispered to Supergirl, "DreamWorks, Galaxy, or Universe vintage?"

Mon-El has posed:
    Lar shrugs. "I mean, I don't use one." he remarks. "But I guess if you're intent on keeping a secret identity, it helps. Though I guess even then it's not -always- necessary." He says, with a knowing glance at Kara.

    He grumbles inwardly when Star-Lord shows up. Right, he'd mentioned Koriand'r before. But he's at least stopped needling him about Glorith so that's something. "Guardians of the Galaxy, I believe they call themselves?" he answers Owen's question, looking to Quill for confirmation. "They're more of mercenaries though." Yeah, that's what you get, Peter.

Star-Lord has posed:
"Got it in one!" Peter fingerguns with a hand to Lar, "Not the mercenaries bit, though that's teeechnically true." He looks to Kara with a cocky smirk, "don't mind him, he's just stinging from the resounding loss of the love of his life, Glorith. It's a tragic tale, full of tragedy, loss, and awesome nicknames like Prince Charming."

Then, he laughs good naturedly, "But yes, Guardians of the Galaxy. I'm their leader." He looks to the Captain, "Firefly? Something to add to the list." He gives that amused smirk before he looks back to Kara, "I was here for my girlfriend. Tall, red hair on fire, beautiful glowing eyes, loves skimpy outfits that I happen to love on her?"

Supergirl has posed:
Supergirl arches a brow. "Firefly? Isn't that like, a bug?" okay, someone certainly hasn't watched the show either. Nor does she get the other movie references and she just peers at him with an awkward quizzical smile.

To Lar, Supergirl arches a curious brow as well. "Oh, I see. I honestly don't know a whole lot about them. Thought they were supposed to, y'know, guard. The Galaxy. Hence the name." Well darn, she has a lot of reading up to do on them, that's for sure!

When Star-Lord mentions someone who sounds very familiar, Supergirl's eyebrows very nearly pop out of her head. "Waaaait, so you're talking about Starfire? You're dating her?" she smiles. "Well, that's new, she's been keeping that little secret all to herself. How long has this been going on?"

But of course, Kory keeps all sorts of odd hours too. Crazy aliens. Oh wait, is that the pot calling the kettle black?

Captain Boomerang has posed:
"So you're just Lar?" Captain Boomerang asked, wondering if they were the opposite ends of the spectrum. His name was almost as long as it gets, while Lar, that was almost as short as it could get. "Galactic Mercenaries, huh? So," now addressing Star-Lord directly, "you're pretty much Captain Jack Sparrow, in space, huh?"

At the mention of being after his girlfriend, for a moment, Captain Boomerang looked on edge, but the description didn't fit, so the Guardian wasn't a threat. He smiled to Supergirl, "short lived sci-fi show. We can watch it later, if you like. Are you paying for pizza tonight, or am I, can't remember," referencing that they often make wagers with the loser having to buy the pizza. Really, they should start expanding to other varieties of cuisine, but pizza was just so convenient.

Mon-El has posed:
    Lar folds his arms and glares at Peter. "You get paid for jobs, don't you? Mercenaries." And then he rolls his eyes. Ugh, not -this- again. "Glorith is a psychotic power-crazed maniac of a witch who nearly got multiple friends of mine -killed-, AND endangered innocent Terrans in the process of trying to manipulate me. I would -appreciate- it if you wouldn't make light of that fact."

    "Yes, Koriand'r, the Tamaranean princess. Refugee. Whatever else." Lar clarifies. "And I know, it is a bit of a misconception, isn't it? Almost as if it's meant to fool people into believing they're better than they really are." A brow arches at Peter. You rib him you're gonna ribbed.

    Lar nods at Owen. "Yes, it's Lar Gand. But you can just call me Lar." He was starting to notice the conversations between him and Kara, and it sounded like maybe they were...he shakes the thought off. Why does it matter? But he can't help it. "So, speaking of how long. You and Kara, huh? How long has -that- been going?" he asks.

Star-Lord has posed:
"A few months now. I usually don't come directly to the roof like this, but I was in system and wanted to relax. Had a botched salvage operation. I didn't mean to barge in too much... but hey! New friends! Right?!" Peter laughs in good humor, before he starts to walk over to one of the beach lounge chairs... and plops onto it, crossing his legs and his arms behind his head as a pillow.

"We do mercenary work, I just said it, Prince Charming. I'm not lying, see? We also help deal with the serious threats. Can't have a galaxy to guard if everyone dead, right?" Then, he cocks an eyebrow at Lar, "Persons gotta eat somehow. Credits don't grow on trees... or did Terrans find one that does? I really need to catch up on the pop culture references. Jack Sparrow?"

Then, he looks between Kara and Boomerang... and his eyes drift to Kara, giving her a once over ogle, "If that's been going on, lucky man. You're quite the looker. Supergirl, right?"

Supergirl has posed:
"Mercenaries.." Supergirl echoes with a soft frown and shakes her head. "So I guess that means, you don't always do good things like help people? Sometimes you kill people for the right price? But..Surely Starfire saw the good in you?" Right, she's sure he's still a good person, right? "Even so, it's not really fair to mock Lar like that.."

Supergirl actually glances towards Lar, her gaze softening a bit, sympathetically. "Lar, don't take him too seriously. Seems like a smartmouth, that's all. I'm sorry that they treated you like that.."

Although there's the other elephant in the room, and she grimaces a bit, glancing back at Boomer. "Sure, I'd like to watch it, sounds fun! Guess it's my turn to order pizza now, huh.." She clears her throat, glancing back at Lar and shrugs, "Not long really, a couple of weeks?" To be fair, she hasn't seen Lar in over a year and they both went their separate ways.

To Star-Lord, she blinks as shee is pulled back to the present. "Huh? Oh right. Yeah. I'm Supergirl. I've been trying to rebuild the Titans. Annd, I guess we'll be seeing a whole lot more of you from now on, huh." she chuckles. wow, a whole month. She and Kory really need to catch up!

Captain Boomerang has posed:
With Kara answering Lar's question, Boomer decided that discretion was the better part of valor, and simply moved without any further comment. "Only in an old episode of Darkwing Duck," he replied to Star-Lord's question about money growing on treets, "it didn't go so well." Seems somebody grew up in a home with a Disney+ account.

"You haven't seen Jack Sparrow." He then looked to Lar Gand, Supergirl, and back to Star-Lord. "Seeing as Starfire isn't here, and the world isn't on fire, I'm making an executive decision. We need to have a Pirates of the Caribbean marathon. To Supergirl, he explained, "we'll go halfsies on the pizza," with two more mouths to feed, "come on, the Titan's have a great wide screen tele in the living room." He did incline his head when Star-Lord said he was a lucky man, however.

Mon-El has posed:
    Lar scoffs slightly as Kara continues to question what Peter does. Doesn't always do good things, yeah. "Yeah, really." he mutters, mostly under his breath, but it's probably better if he didn't start ranting about the whole Theseus fiasco right now. Quill -did- help save him one time, so he -should- really at least try to get along with the man.

    He nods at the answer to how long Owen and Kara have been together. "I see. Well, I hope you um...I mean, I'm glad you're happy together for now." Then he quickly changes the subject, though suddenly appears a bit uncomfortable. "Pirates, huh? Uhm--I think I'll pass, but thanks. I've seen enough real ones to not need to watch them in fiction." he laughs nervously, trying to deflec with some humor. "I'll...see you all later."

    With that, he takes off into the sky, the air popping with sonic booms once he gets high enough not to damage any buildings.

Star-Lord has posed:
As Lar takes off with all the subtle of a brick through a window, Peter watches him go, "I almost feel sorry for needling him so much. Almost. He's easy to needle and takes himself far too seriously. Does he even know how to have a party night?" Peter just shakes his head and stands up, "Sounds like a plan to me." Peter agrees officially as he heads for the elevator down into the Tower, "I do though, so let's get to it. Also, don't mind the flirting, it's natural to me." He gives a charming smile in Kara's direction as he goes.
