LIGHT

Warmth, love and kindness.
The Life Stream glimmers and glitters with joy, swirls of shimmering dust dancing around the ray of life.
It was time for new ones to test their wings.



One by one, new adventurers now arrive in the Tree. As one gain wings and rises to the second floor, another light brings in the next person. Soon, a steady stream of people from all kinds of worlds, times and realities come to join the others. Whether confused, angry, excited or scared, your arrival is welcomed with nothing but joy as the fireflies and glow worms descend to greet their new friends.

The Tree offers no explanation and no reason, but the truth is undeniable.

As you will soon realize, it isn't easy to be tiny.

He does withdraw - he himself isn't keen on casual physical contact with strangers - anything longer would taste too much like pity.

'Everybody starts somewhere,' he replies, with a jaunty smile. 'Sides, we can have a little friendly competition. How about a race?'

They've got different types of wings, and sue him, he's curious to see how efficient each one is.
braavado: (Getting back my fighting spirit)

A race. Of all the things to ask for, though Korra admits it isn't entirely weird. They just got new wings. Who wouldn't want to mess around and test them?

Some of her old playfulness stirs up in her, and she grins. "You're on. Just don't be offended if I leave you in the dust, alright?"

Some of his old playfulness sparks too, just as he snorts in annoyance. Kids these days. But he got Korra to smile, and he thinks that's definitely something he wants more of in his life, or in general too. She has the kind that lights up whoever's near it, warm and steady like a lighthouse.

'Oh, is that how it is? You'll eat your words, sweetheart, just watch.'

He winks at her, and promptly darts off, spreading his wings and whooping as he flies.
braavado: (You're really enjoying this. Aren't you)

"Hey!" If Bucky ever tries pointing out how she'd squawked with indignation, she'll deny it.

Korra huffs in annoyance before she dashes off after him, propelling herself into the air with a leap. "It doesn't count as a win if you cheated!"

He just whoops again, trying out some acrobatics. The adrenaline's rushing through his blood and he can't imagine ever feeling this safe in the air: those old planes rattled and they were always being fired at from anti-aircraft guns.

'Cheating? Me?' he calls back, stifling laughter. 'With this mug? Tell me it ain't true.'
braavado: (How about a 'never'?)

She gives herself a push, forcing her wings to work harder so she can catch up with him. Though it's just a silly race, a challenge is still a challenge.

Korra gives him an unimpressed look as she flits past him. "You might be able to fool other people with that innocent face, but not me."

She's got spunk; his favourite kind of dame. She'd fit right in amongst the Barnes sisters - on second thought, never, ever introduce Korra to his sisters. He's harangued enough already.

'And here I was workin' hard for it,' he grumbles, good-natured, as he cruises next to her. 'Give me some credit.'
braavado: (This is Storytime 101)

"Nah," Korra replies, unable to resist giving him another good-natured jab. "It's kind of fun seeing you get all put out."

Now that she's feeling more comfortable in the air, she tests out her wings by turning this way and that. And then finally, she flies in a wide circle around Bucky with a grin.

"You know, this is kind of fun once you get used to it."

He makes a comical face at her, deliberately, but it soon softens to a bright, boyish grin. He's thinking about Steve, and for a few seconds it doesn't hurt as much.

'You're havin' a gas, huh,' he replies, hovering in place so she can circle him with her aerobatics. 'Any reason you got different wings from mine?'
braavado: (I've been thinking...)

[personal profile] braavado 2015-03-30 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Attention caught, Korra stops her air circling to study his wings. They're definitely different, though she's seen this second type of wings on many other people, too.

"Dunno. I got these when I touched the yellow stone down there. Maybe it's random?"

He tilts his head questioningly at her. 'I have a blue stone,' he ventures. 'Just had to take it, I guess.' It's too early to tell if there's any pattern: Anna has the same type of wings he does, red and black. Elegant, that seem somewhat out of place. The transparent ones glitter in the sunlight, steady. They don't seem to be any less effective.
braavado: (He's a what now?)

She drifts closer to him now, some of her previous playfulness fading away to curiosity. Korra had wondered what would happen if you touched the blue stone; it seems she has her answer.

"Yellow stone gives you glittery wings, blue stone gives you the kind you have?" She ventures a guess.

He circles her playfully first, and when he comes to a stop he pulls his own stone out of his pocket to show her. 'Seems like it.'
braavado: (Hope you haven't been waiting long)

"We'll probably have to ask around to make sure," she says, resuming her flying.

"We" she'd said. Without even realizing it, Korra's begun to include him in her future plans. Though she had been nervous about being around so many people at first, some of them are easy to talk to, like Bucky.

He likes the sound of the we, and nudges her before zooming off again. 'Catch me if you can!'
