Here To Help (Open)

[Don Lokan]

(ooc: June 10th. Morning.)

Don opened the door as it was unlocked and walked in. He then headed into the living room.

"Hello. I heard you had a tornado come through here. I thought I'd could help." said Don.

XXXX

Alexander saw Don walk in and curiously came to him.

"Well, I guess you definitely could call that thing like a force of nature. I wasn't there myself but man it was strong." said Alexander.

He smiled at him.

"I'm Alexander. Welcome to the army." said Alexander.

XXXX

Duke Nukem walked out hearing voices and grinned.

"Well we got another recruit huh? I'm Duke Nukem. Welcome." said Duke Nukem.

XXXX

Phil walked out spotting a new arrival and a few people talking with him.

"Yes welcome to the home team. Together we can hit it out of the park!" said Phil.

Phil blushed at the mention of his baseball references.

"Can't help that. Part of my programming." said Phil.

XXXX

Monsieur D'Arque raised an eyebrow at Phil.

"Must you insist with the baseball references." said D'Arque.

He sighed turning back to the new arrival.

"Hello. I am Monsieur D'Arque one of the army's medical staff." said D'Arque.

[Jack Morrigan]

(OCC: Hope it's okay that zod comes with a black eye and speaks that there was no storm like he doesn't get the lingo. If you want me to not add zod or all this let me know. Just thought I'd help lead don realizing jason is here and leading to him wanting to stay just to get revenge ya know?)

DarkHeart was not far from Phil as she followed to greet don. DarkHeart looked the man up and down before turning to Phil and responding "Do not worry too much about it I like them" She mostly said this to not embarrass him. She then turned to Don and gave a slight nod in greeting "Welcome sir. I am DarkHeart. Welcome" She then turned to Zod and kept a sympathetic eye on him as he showed himself to don with a very obvious black eye and bruised lip.
XXXX

"More people coming every day. Bloody hell" Mungojerrie said. He and his sister rumpleteaser have kept a wide birth through this thing but finally decided to come out of their shells to try to engage with the army. Mungojerrie looked the man up and down also and replied "I'm mungojerrie, pleasure to see ya mate" Mungojerrie then turned to zod and due to hearing about the fiasco of jason looked on.
XXXX

"I'm rumpleteaser, what my brother said, good to see ya" Rumpleteaser replied, also looking at the man before her. She then noticed Zod and then listened in as Jack asked what happened and zod answering. She gulped at his response and was grateful she too was outside during this whole debacle.
XXXX

"Yeah welcome to the pow-wow pal. Hope you enjoy your stay" Jack said sarcastically as he leaned against the wall casually, smoking a cigarette leisurely, looking amusedly at don. Jack came to greet, mostly because he was curious due to also being somewhat exploratory of this new world and it's people. He had always known of his world. Sure he and his brother discovered that there WERE other worlds but they never explored them or travelled. They were too focus on doriamus and his goons to even try those possibilities. They did do one attempt but they were assumed as monsters and were attacked, it scared edward so bad he forbade jack from trying again. Jack would never say no to his brother so he kept a wide birth of other universes. But here, here it was the most peaceful place outside of the war. If anything everyone had a unspoken agreement that the war was overall pretty damn private. He listened to the entire conversation and was confused by all the talk about a storm and just as he was about to ask what the hell did everyone mean, out appeared zod angry as ever. Jack hissed at the black eye and replied "Jesus man, the fuck happened to you?" He then widened his eyes "Wow. Hate to be you right now captain leather-pants"
XXXX

"That was no tornado or storm of which you all speak of" Zod spoke angrily as he rudely entered the fray. His clothes were clean but he had a dark black eye and a bruised lip, reminders of what occured. Jason had got him more than a little spooked so he was on edge, which meant he was aggressive and angry. He was shamed. He was embarrassed. Forget kal-el, jason was going to get his just desserts after what he did. Zod was hellbent on getting him. As he arrived to the new arrival he nodded his head "Greetings new human. I am General Zod" He then turned to jack who asked him what happened and replied "A beast. A monster. A evil that must be contained just so I can crush it in my hands! It called itself a seer or some shit like that"

[Don Lokan]

Don watched fascinated at seeing all of the new people. But Jack's sarcastic sense of humor had him chuckle.

"Well this is quite a welcome." said Don.

He couldn't help but give Jack a once over. He was a very attractive man but probably already taken. He wouldn't get his hopes up. He would just focus on his work like he always did. He paused glancing at Zod.

"Are you alright man? You look like you lost a fight with a brick wall." said Don.

He glanced at the rest of the group.

"Thank you all for the welcome. I am Don. Don Lokan." said Don.

XXXX

Alexander smiled.

"That's one way to put it. A brick wall, a storm. We had a captive from facilier's army that we were torturing. Well, some of the others. I wasn't at this little get-together. Perhaps if they had more of us things would have gone differently." said Alexander.

He turned back to their new arrival.

"Welcome, Don. I am Alexander." said Alexander.

XXXX

Duke Nukem shook his head.

"That thing was way too powerful. Maybe Dark Nella or one of the gods like Hades or Shang Tsung might have stood a better chance." said Duke Nukem.

He chuckled.

"Definitely will make sure to stay out of his way the next time he shows up. Although having around with him could be fun." said Duke Nukem.

He nodded at Don's introduction.

"Welcome Don. I am Duke Nukem." said Duke Nukem.

XXXX

Phil smiled at Dark Heart grateful someone liked his baseball references.

"Thank you Dark Heart." said Phil.

When he learned this "storm" was a facilier member who had rescued one of their captives he frowned.

"Wait. One member of Facilier's army rescued our captive when there was a whole group of us there. Perhaps Duke Nukem is right and you needed more power." said Phil.

He paused at the introductions.

"I am Phantom Virus or Phil as I've been going by recently." said Phil.

XXXX

Monsieur D'Arque looked up seeing Zod arrive.

"I hope you got that treated Zod. Staying injured will only help our enemies." said D'Arque.

He was unaware of Zod's physiology. That wounds rarely lasted for long on Kryptonians. Zod would probably be back to his old self soon but D'Arque was in the dark at the moment. He focused back on the new arrival.

"Welcome, Don. I'm Antonine D'Arque. Most call me Monsieur D'Arque. Would you like something to eat or drink? I think we have leftovers in the kitchen." said D'Arque.

[Jack Morrigan]

(OCC: Hope you don't mind zod's little outburst. He's got a ego the size of mount Everest and being somewhat corrected about his strength I think would get him mad)

Jack noticed the look don gave him and he could see don turn in shame. Jack's eyebrow was raised as he could tell don found him attractive but was shy. Jack was definitely curious of the new man and definitely was attracted in return. He wanted to give don some hope so don would have courage to flirt. So he decided to get don's attention some more. To make don not ignore him. He allowed don to speak to zod for a bit before he listened for don's name. Jack went over, finishing up his cigarette before hand. He then replied, a playful smile on his face "Don. Nice name for a nice looking man" He winked to don a bit and replied back "Make yourself at home. Seriously. We got so many rooms here you'd think we'd be running a hotel" He hoped his jokes would make don laugh and become even more interested. He then turned to see Zod rant about it to others and say he would make the person pay.

He then turned to Monsiour D'Arque ask don if he was hungry and he replied "Yeah you hungry? I was gonna get myself something in the kitchen if you wanna come with me?" He then jumped a tiny bit as zod proceeded to yell. He then raised his hands up to zod and replied "Dude. Calm down. The kid is just trying to help. She's right. You can't just assume you'll be able to handle it"

DarkHeart gave a smile to Phil, even holding his hand and giving it a squeeze before listening to mostly everyone explain once more about the attack that happened. She got admittedly nervous and saw Zod get immediately defensive. She calmly, and kindly replied "Zod. There is no denying you're powerful but when something is more powerful than you, there is no shame in getting more forces and getting people to assist. You do not have to be the only one to stop it. Your strength might not be enough" She then got a bit spooked and scared as he yelled at her. Due to being still traumatized from being yelled at by malachite and the like, she went to hide behind phil.

She eventually looked over to duke replied "Well I hope you're alright my friend. Perhaps getting a powerful deity like Dark Nella as you say would indeed be a good thing. We cannot allow ourselves to be so thwarted" She said this to phil and duke, wanting to avoid zod for the moment. She then commented "I am glad things went relatively alright and no one was seriously injured"
XXXXX

"Wait a facilier member saved their own and resulted in zod getting that beaten up? That stuff scares me. We gotta be more prepared yeah?" Mungojerrie was mostly commenting out of his own fear. If they could take down Zod, they could hurt them and this meant both he and his sister were not really safe. That frightened him. He saw his sister nervous though and forced down his emotions. He hugged her protectively, forcing himself to believe his words "Don't you worry sis. It'll be alright" He then jumped slightly as zod proceeded to yell at DarkHeart. He then replied calmly "Oi, mate. No need to yell. We're all friends here"
XXXXX

"Blimy. That's scary for sure. Are we like in danger now?" Rumpleteaser replied. Despite her brother's comfort she was still frightened. She had to make sure she was careful more than ever now. Despite some people talking to don, she proceeded to be focused on the attack that happened. She listened to duke and shivered "Definitely gonna not mess with whoever that was. Glad I missed out" She then noticed don and jack talk a bit and rolled her eyes as she could tell jack was flirting somewhat. She then blushed as zod yelled. She didn't want to get too involved.

Zod's blood boiled as Duke and D'Arque now began to underestimate him. He could sense the doctor was just being thoughtful but for some reason duke's suggestions got to him. He was supposed to be stronger than this. He had his powers back and now people still didn't take him seriously. He calmly, but clearly hurtfully, replied to Monsiour D'Arque "Do not take this the wrong way doctor but I will be just fine. My wounds will heal very quickly because I am a kryptonian and wounds do not last long. It is my PRIDE that will take much, much healing" He then growled "Mark my words. I was underestimating this new foe but that will not happen again. I will crush that monster and kill it if I must"

He then snapped at Duke "Do not patronize me! I am strong enough to handle it! That freak just got lucky! But luck always runs out and that boy will not be so lucky again. I will make it pay mark my words" He then got slightly angrier as DarkHeart spoke to him. Losing his temper a bit he yelled at her "And what do you know of strength child?! You know nothing! You were not even there! I was! I am strong enough and I will not be belittled by some girl. Do not think you can correct me!" He was somewhat aware he might have been harsh but he was beyond embarrassed and angry. He felt like taking it out on someone and didn't care at the moment

[Don Lokan]

Don grinned at his words.

"Flattery will get you everywhere." said Don.

He turned to Zod and sighed. Then glanced at some of the others.

"Zod is one of the strongest warriors we have. If he couldn't stop this thing no one could. I have no doubt next time they face Zod will be the victor. I hope I am there to see it. " said Don.

XXXX

Alex paused hearing Don and glanced over at Zod after his outburst.

"My apologies I wasn't aware of how strong you are. It used its speed and element of surprise. I didn't mean to offend you." said Alex.

XXXX

Duke nodded as well.

"That explains it. They think they ambush us with cheap tricks. If it had been a fight we'd have them both prisoner." said Duke Nukem.

He glanced at Zod.

"I'm sorry for doubting you as well." said Duke Nukem.

XXXX

Phil nodded.

"Then perhaps we should launch an attack on them. Our last attack with Critic's forces only helped Critic's army in the end. We need to strike back at them." said Phil.

XXXXX

D'Arque nodded.

"I apologize as well General Zod. I was not aware of your strength." said D'Arque.

Hearing the others speak he frowned.

"But this attack must be planned better than the last one. Perhaps take some prisoners of Facilier's army as our own. They enslaved some of our members briefly as well." said D'Arque.
