Jacque took a few moments to recompose himself before gingerly climbed out of the limo, taking great care to avoid bumping his shoulder as he got out. "By the way, sorry about the hole and hat..." he grumbled to the driver, who in return glared daggers at the gator man. If it weren't for the pain, Jacque would likely be making positive remarks about the new base. It was everything he could ask for so far; warm weather, water to swim in, and more than enough space to move around comfortably. First thing was first though, he would fix his shoulder, THEN admire the scenery, "Alright. I'm ready." Jacque muttered before extending his hand to Roxy as best he could.

Roxy took Jacque arm . She bent it at a 90 degree angle. Then she turned his arm to the side with the palm facing her. Roxy moved Jacque's arm then with shoved her body against his with all her might until she heard a satisfying pop. "There you go good as new."

Hart had been silent for the remainder of the trip. One might have thought she'd been asleep. But actually she had turned her face to the window and zoned out. She listened to the others bicker. Roxy andHikari both popped off again. She was so sick of their attitudes. Rolling her eyes she came back go reality, focusing on the sight of their new base. It was a... Beach house. Her eyes widened. From never having a real home to suddenly having too much home. It was overwhelming. She sighed. The others started to get out but she stayed in the limo. She needed a minute to herself.

Having sufficiently braced himself for the pain he would feel this time, Jacque grit his teeth and grunted in pain as Roxy adjusted his arm and pushed it back into place with an audible pop. There was still pain, however it wasn't nearly as bad as before, "Much better...", he rumbled as he experimentally moved his arm around a bit to unsure everything was indeed as it should be. "Uh....Thank you..." Jacque muttered awkwardly to Roxy, they weren't exactly friends, but she did help him out, so at least for now she was alright in his book despite her taunting earlier in the day. Not quite 'cool', but it was a start.

While others were mostly admiring the view of the building, or going to the beach, Krait went straight to the door and went inside the building. It was something she had never even thought she was going to see live, even less to live in. Walking past few rooms, she could notice an elevator with some sort of a scanner on it, probably for identification. Going to the living room, she then sat down to one of the chairs, lifting her legs on the coffee table, sighing deep as she rubbed her face. It had been one long day already, but thankfully it seemed like it was all casual time from this point on.

John climbed out of the limo and took a look at the new base. The beach house was amazing. At least the outside was. He walked inside and smiled when he saw the luxurious interior. Much better than that ratty old apartment he had shared with Roger back in the day. He walked down a hallway and saw that each door had one of the teams names on it. He found his room at the end of the hall and walked in. "Woah," he said as he looked at his room. His bed was straight across from him, flanked by two massive bookshelves. His workbench was on the right wall. All his WIP projects were still there. He went and layed down on the bed and sighed. "Maybe this wasn't the worst idea in the world."

Roxy wasn't ready to head indoors. She was use to spending most of her time outdoors. She choose to walk along the beach. Roxy was curious how much of the beach was theirs. How much space had they put between the team and the public? The only way to find out was to find the public. With that in mind Roxy walked along the shore.

Jacque too decided to enter the house, if only so he could take a proper break and stretch out, he'd figure out which room was his and adjust it accordingly later. Jacque didn't bother with looking at every little detail as he walked through the living room and into the dining area, then the kitchen shortly after, the one thing he did actually bother make note of was the fact that the door ways were tall and wide enough to allow him to comfortably move around. Jacque opened the fridge and looked around, then promptly plucked two beers from the fridge door. Upon returning to the living room, Jacque sprawled out onto the couch, his legs dangling off the edge, and uncapped a beer with his thumb nail. "Long day?" He asked Krait sarcastically before taking a swig from the bottle and chucking the other one over to his team mate. Jacque didn't really know if she'd drink it given that A: she was still a year below the legal drinking age were he was from, and B: even if she were legal, she might not actually enjoy drinking, but it was the thought that counted.

Krait turned her head a little to the side as Jacque walked past her to the kitchen, but turned her head back, letting herself to get some shut eye, readjusting herself ever so slightly. As she then heard Jacque coming back, she didn't open her eyes before hearing him speak. Of course he couldn't know that, but the flying beer at her direction took Krait bit off guard and if it wasn't for her lap that beer would of landed if she hadn't caught it, it would of probably broken. Krait grabbed the bottle, checking on the etiquette to see it was alcohol, before looking back to Jacque.

"Uh... yeah, thanks." Krait said, bit dumbfounded as she wasn't exactly sure what to do with the bottle, since she exactly wasn't as skilled in popping off the caps as he apparently was, fiddling with bottle in her hands. She didn't want to even mention the fact she needed a straw for it. "That, and the jump." she continued, turning her head away from his look and back to the bottle. "The jet was probably going to crash anyway".

"No problem." Jacque said as he took another sip and set the bottle down on the ground beside him. "About the jump though, I was told to grab you and Hart then bail out. Time wasn't exactly on our side there, so I couldn't afford to be gentle.", he stated with a shrug, wincing as his freshly set shoulder still offered a bit of pain. He watched Krait awkwardly attempt to open the bottle for several seconds, "You just want me to open that for you? You seem to be having quite a bit of trouble there. You may also want to take off the mask unless you can drink through it or something.".

"Yep." she said with a giggle, tossing the bottle back to Jacque, though her cheerful attitude went down the drain the moment he finished his next statement. "I'm fine! Thank you..." she shouted, holding the back of her hand in front of her mouth for a second. Even if he couldn't see the blush, from the stuttering clear of Kraits throat could be a strong sign of embarrassment. "...If you will excuse me a moment..." Krait said, standing up and taking quick steps to the kitchen with her arms crossed as she went to lean on the kitchen counter for a second, hanging her head and closing her eyes. She would just make herself a target by jumping like that... she just wasn't used to it, frankly a toss of a beer had been the most 'good' thing happened to her in years.

Giving underaged girls a drink. Even the idea of the irony in the situation made her smile enough for her to take few deep breaths, trying to force her head to get back to the living room.

After catching the beer Jacque watched with two parts confusion and one part amusement as Krait rejected the idea of taking off her mask and briskly walked out of the room. "Wow, you really take that whole secret identity thing serious don't you?" he said aloud to his team mate before setting the bottle on the ground next to his own. Jacque couldn't quite understand the big deal, however it was to be expected from someone who's true identity couldn't be figured out as easily. Out of the entire group, he was the likely only one who could most easily go out in public without fear of recognition, after all, the others all showed their true faces in public with the exception of Nic and Krait, even then though, they only wore masks, something that could be removed and allow the wearer's identity to be revealed. Jacque was different, there was no mask to remove when he transformed, no one would ever assume that the hulking brute that dispensed pain to foe and friend alike was ever a human being.

Hikari stood and put back on her shoes, slipping the worn red sneakers she'd always had over her feet like a second skin. She stretched and wondered if the others were inside already, all set up and comfortable. She sighed and realized that sooner or later she'd have to go inside. Until then, she could talk with Roxy. It seemed that she was walking along the beach too. Hikari couldn't believe it, but she was more open to interact with Roxy than join Gator Boy and Krait. She was still wary of Krait and her stupid mask, and Leather Hide seemed just too dangerous. "Hey." Hikari said, walking behind Roxy. She tried to mirror the other girl's footsteps, a habit she'd made when on the run. Right now it was game, to make the two sets of footprints one.

The door to the living room opened slowly after a moment Jacque had said those words, as Krait looked at her, flipping a straw in between her fingers... seemed like whoever was keeping the house together knew who were arriving at the scene. "It is not THAT simple..." Krait said, almost spat out as she came back, dropping her body to the cough and creaking the wooden legs in the process.

"It's not about secrecy, alright? I get it, 'woo, mysterious figure, who could it be?' is b.s., and It's nothing like that." she started spewing out. "I'm not a goddamn batman, I'm a victim! It's about dignity...this, right here." she said, leaning forward as she rolled her finger around her own face as a clear sign. "This... this is not me. It's... It's..." she continued before her posture collapsed, her body leaning back to chair as she sighed. "Nevermind... just give me that bottle." she said, moving her hand straight forward with open palm to receive her cold treat.

Roxy turned her attention to when she heard someone talking to her. She was surprised to find Hikari almost matching her step for step. She had to admire the girls bravery. Roxy noticed almost everyone had gone inside, "Hello little one. Why haven't you gone inside with the others?"

Hikari bit back her annoyance. "First, according to the files they gave everyone, I'm a year older than you. Second, I didn't want to go outside because the last time I'd seen a beach was shortly after I was born." Little one. If Hikari didn't have the patience she would have just chucked Roxy into the ocean. So instead she just kept walking. People were complex and maybe Roxy had forgotten, but Roxy was actually the youngest on the team. She didn't really have the life experience to talk to Hikari like a child. Pretty much no one did anyway.

Jacque shrunk back slightly at the sudden change in Krait's attitude, the sudden raising of her voice paired with the dark coloration of her clothing brought back memories of a certain individual from a past he'd long hoped to forget. As Krait reached her hand out to take back her beer, for the briefest of moments, Jacque reacted in a way that some would likely think was odd for a man of his size and strength, and shrunk back further into the couch with a look of fear etched across his face before he remembered where he was. "Right...here...sorry." he said quietly before getting up, dropping the bottle into her hand, then slinking back onto the couch just as quickly as he'd gotten up. There was a slight tension in the air as Jacque reached down to grab his bottle and took a drink, more so to calm his nerves than for the enjoyment of the drink.

"I wouldn't know I didn't read the files. You simply look younger I guess." Roxy shrugged. She hated reading so she avoided it. Besides she didn't believe that those files had anything interesting in them anyway. "If you want to walk along the beach I have no problems with that. It's a free beach."

Hikari didn't peg her as a reader anyway. "Can I ask you something?" it sucked that Hikari didn't think as asking this when it was Truth or Dare, but she didn't even pause for long enough to let Roxy reply to her first question. "Why did you join Delta Squad?" if Hikari's experience was anything to judge by, they didn't just magically get approached. They had to draw some kind of attention.

...Thanks." Susanne muttered, her head hung so she didn't see the position she had turned Jacque to be in. She just slipped the straw in, before making rather strange noises with her mouth, like someone would do if trying to shout single vocal underwater. She then slipped the straw under a small line on the hood that was meant for drinking as well as her breathing. Starting to suck on the straw, she looked up at Jacque, not sure what to say... the awkward feeling started to fill the room as she just kept sucking slowly on the straw.

"So the first thing you usually do in houses is to try to get the girls drunk?" Susanne tried as half joke to break the ice. She wasn't going to say sorry... mostly because she wasn't so in the slightest.
