[ kell-el had just been sitting by the side of the pool, at a loss. he's not much for . . . pool times. he glances at the newcomer with a frown. ]

What?

[sophielicious]

(On the inside? She's laughing so, so hard. On the outside, she's very serious, her face does not change. Instead, she just gestures.)

Less kick out, more kick in...to the pool. Magik, Kell, Kell, Magik. She's my...

(... Friend?)

... Personal demonic lady.

(Nailed it.)

[lingeringshadow]

Flattering.

[But sort of true, minus the "personal" part, so Illyana doesn't bother to correct her.]

You wanted me to meet him to... what? Check if he's possessed? Test his fighting skills?

[kryptonix]

[ demonic lady is a sequence of words new to him. he shoots sophie a quizzical look. ]

I'm not possessed. And my fighting skills are fine.

[sophielicious]

(She's trying to express that this is not just a random demonic lady she pulled from the streets, ok!!!!)

To meet him. And actually? You want to fight each other for funsies, just tell me, so I can go get the others and make popcorn. I bet on her.

If not, just hang around.

[lingeringshadow]

[Illyana grins, a definite troublemaking expression, as she pulls off her ridiculous boots.]

Of course you bet on me.

[Who wouldn't! She plops down on the side of the pool, sticking her feet into the water.]

So... Alien? Mutant? Science experiment? None of the above?

[This is directed at Kell, tactless but not judgmental. They're all sort of weirdos around here, right? And judging from those eyes of his, he's not your run of the mill human.]

[kryptonix]

[ he's not thrown off. mostly because he's a blunt person by nature and thus, used to this sort of thing. ]

Clone. From the future.

[sophielicious]

(See?? She knew it. She's a genius, her opinions are flawless and her decision-making has no plotholes whatsoever.)

Wow, no comment on me betting on her, Kell?

[lingeringshadow]

Maybe he thinks I would beat him, too. Smart.

[Poor Kell. It's like Sophie and Illyana's teasing is syncing up.]

Clone from the future, huh? What kind of future?

[kryptonix]

The terrible war kind.

[ he glances at sophie, not a twitch in his expression. ]

No need. Neither of you have seen me fight.

[sophielicious]

Wait, you think you'd win!

(And she's not reading his mind, it's just observation before she comes to sit next to him, bumping shoulders.)

[lingeringshadow]

Wanna change that? Let's fight.

[This is a normal thing to say to someone you've just met.]

[kryptonix]

Next to the pool?

[ he glances at it. ]

You may not have a pool left.

[sophielicious]

... Danger room? Snake Island?

(Just so they're away from HER pool, thank you.)

[lingeringshadow]

[She points at Sophie, as though seconding the point.]

Or we could use the pool. First to dunk the other wins, with Sophie as refree.

[sophielicious]

Or if you fuck over my pool, you're on cleaning duty for a month.

(Just making that clear!!!!)

[kryptonix]

So not the pool?

[ where then. ]
