Iris still came out of the portal swinging her mallet, just in case. (Look, before croquet hell there had been some much less friendly worlds out there and old habits died really hard.)
Nothing attacked her, though she did startle a man feeding his chickens as she stepped out into his yard. Ignoring his yelp, she glanced around their surroundings, her mind reaching out to judge any potential threats.
"Oh thank fuck," she said cheerfully. "We're someplace peaceful. I demand a shower!"

"Ladies first."
She had the biggest bone to pick, after all.

Shoving the door open was easy. She grinned over her shoulder at him, holding one finger up near her lips, before taking the first few steps on silent feet.
He’d never know they were coming.

Date: 2019-04-11 01:54 am (UTC)Iris was smiling as she wandered into the room unceremoniously, all fluid arrogance and deep, ugly rage.
“Hello, Hojo,” she said, like it was just another day, and they’d met at a cafe, for coffee perhaps. “We’re going to play a game.”
The other scientists down here with him would die but they’d get to watch the game first.
