Imperial Junkyard, noonish

[can_be_more]

The Prowler, the X-wing and the TIE are joined in their return by a Leviathan transport pod. Somehow when picking a ship to steal, it allowed everyone to not have to cram uncomfortably into fighter ships, and it was something she already knew how to fly. She would have rathered fly the Prowler in after all of that, but she'd also rather they not all die because someone had to figure out how to fly something.

She lets everyone park the ships where they belong with a message over comms to meet at the junkyard if they felt the need. It isn't that she wants to talk, exactly, but she feels the need to check and make sure people are okay.

As soon as she's landed, not far from the Prowler, Aeryn lets the doors open so everyone can leave if they so wished, and then stepped outside herself.


[Mainly for John, Peter Parker, Isabel, Sam and Luke, though it is a public area. Ping in if you're around/want to, if not, yay handwaved exit/thank you! Also, if you didn't want to end up squished this trip, you can say you were in the transport pod.]

Sam climbed out of the TIE fighter and removed her helmet as soon as she hit the ground, running a hand through her hair, then yawning and stretching.

"Home sweet home," she said, feeling surprisingly relaxed. She'd never tell Aeryn, but it was good to get out there again. To fight and risk her life for someone else. "I'm going to be sorry to let this ship go."

"Probably best not to tell Vader that," Aeryn points out, though she herself is looking it over from here, keeping in mind everything Luke told her about it.

"Yeah, no," Sam grinned, "I've spent enough time in detention, thanks. She flies like a starfighter and is just as sensitive. In case you were wondering."

Aeryn shakes her head and says, "Of course not," and it's such a lie. Seriously.

"You could always borrow it sometime," Sam said, oh so innocently, "If you wanted to do something like that, which I'm sure you wouldn't."

John jumped out of the Prowler and immediately stretched. "Oh Fandom. Hi again."

"How was the flight?" Aeryn asks, kind of looking over the ship in case of damage. She doesn't make it obvious that's what she's doing, though.

"I was a little distracted but it was fine," he says, watching her carefully.

"Good," she says, nodding in its direction. She spent part of her day yesterday shooting at her own kind. She might be a little attached to what she still has of the Peacekeepers at the moment.

She's bruised and scratched and John frowns at her. "We should go inside. You need to rest."

"Be it ever so humble," Isabel muttered as she walked out of the transport pod and stretched.

"Enjoy the trip?" Aeryn asks. She's not sure she's good at conversation right now, but she's trying.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oddly enough," she said, shaking her head. "Yes. But I think a good part of it is because we ALL came back in one piece."

[can_be_more]

Aeryn nods and says, "I'm sorry you had to get involved in the fight." She does mean that.

Isabel raised an eyebrow, "Aeryn, please. You're worth it. We wanted you back."

Peter stepped out of the transport pod and looked somewhat relieved to be back on the ground. Earth ground, specifically. "So, did we all enjoy the field trip?"

[can_be_more]

Aeryn raises her eyebrows at him.

"Come on," Peter said. "Aside from all of the kidnapping and shooting and fighting and all of that stuff, it wasn't that bad. At least we got to fly through space for a while."

[can_be_more]

"Never been off the planet before?" she asks. In Fandom, you have to.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Once. With Flight and Flying during the summer," Peter said.

Luke took off his helmet and grinned at Aeryn. "Definitely more interesting than a weekend home studying," he said.

He was watching her a little carefully. He was more worried than his tone would imply.

[can_be_more]

"Sorry if this changed your plans to do so," she asys, and she's still not looking directly at people yet.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"For you? Anything," Luke said, giving her a shy smile.

[can_be_more]

Aeryn manages a little smile in return and says, "Thank you. You did well, Luke."

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke's smile brightened for just a second. "Thanks. Are you going to be all right? At some point, I mean."
