Oh What Insanity Is This
It was nice to be able to step off the ship and finally be back in Temba. While it wasn't actually home, it was nice to actually return to the place that had become sort of become home.

That's what he really would have liked to think. As he stepped out of the hangar and was able to survey Temba again, he was completely dumbstruck by everything that had happened. He just... stood there as he stared at it. The plants... there was just so much of it. It was everywhere...

"What the hell happened here? How long were we gone?"

Brave Explorer
Even though the urge to just stand and stare at the mess was really very tempting, it wouldn't do anything to make things better so finally, he went to find something that he could use to start cutting plants down. Dark that his new arm didn't have the same abilities as his old one and he couldn't just use THAT.

However, the metal arm did come in handy (ha) because he could use it to help push plants to the side with less worry about it actually hurting him. No feeling and very hard to damage helped like that.

But after working for a while, it didn't feel like they had really gotten anywhere. He grumbled before looking at the person next to him.

"How long have we been at this?"

Save the Glownie!
Shiro hadn't been planning on being out so late. He'd kind of lost track of time. One would say it was stupid for him to have been so careless as to forget about this part...

Shiro would call it a blessing though since as he was trying to find his way back, he stumbled upon a faint glowing light among the trees. Moving closer, he spotted one of the glownies that had wandered away from the its home in this mess. Maybe it smelled mint somewhere.

But that wasn't all he spotted. There was Thorntooth that was attempting to sneak up on it, ready for an easy target.

Shiro, of course, couldn't let that happen, charging to get to the Glownie first, having only a dinky weapon to try and delay it in his attempt to flee with the Glownie.

Bishop
Sorry, crew of the Bishop or anyone else who would be there, there is temporarily a Glownie wandering around on the ship one night...

"Yeah, that sounds familiar too now that you mention it. Something about a snowman... like a man who lives in snow, not a man made of snow."

Yeah, Shiro didn't remember that much about it either.

Tommy laughs, because it's hilarious that Shiro's heard of something familiar with it.

"I think there was an elf that wanted to be a dentist."

"I don't seem to remember that part, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there. I mean, if the holidays really does involve eating that much sweets, why shouldn't there be a dentist?"

"Man!" Tommy laughs, shaking his head. "How can you make something so simple and silly make sense? Super power, right there!"

"It's a gift I have. Both being sensible and not at alternating times."

Tommy snorts and shakes his head. What a thing to say.

"Come on, I can almost see our finish line. Let me escort you there, mister Sensible-But-Funny."

"I'd be a lot more boring if I was either one or the other."

He nodded, following along with Tommy as they headed back.

"You would," he laughs. "ANd that would be a fucking shame man."

"It would. I'm sure that was of the things that endeared me to the Garrison, that I was personable rather than just good at what I did. Let's face it, a lot of military types are not good at dealing with the public."

"And you'd make a good poster boy," Tommy pointed out. They've gone over the 'Shiro is hot' thing, so he's certain of that. "But yeah, I've never really known military types that are good at being people too."

"Yeah, they did that a lot. I went out to seek out new students, spoke at functions, you know, the PR sort of thing." Yeah, they've already discussed that he is hot and he has a card to prove it. "They certainly weren't very good at dealing with trainees."

Yes, very hot, nice card, Tommy doesn't need that low hanging fruit.

"You've got presence, so I'm not shocked. When I hang out with you, I sorta wanna be better. Which is impressive, given I'm a superhero."

Shiro smiled.

"I guess I have that effect on people. When Keith was younger, he never had anyone in his corner so he was written off by a lot of people. It was because of me that he began to believe in himself. So many of others as well."

"Now that I can see," Tommy said with a chuckle. "We're not too different, Keith and I. In ways that matter at least."

They've got a lot of similar traumas and self doubts. Keith just found a team that took him in and supported him no matter what and didn't leave him. Tommy... kept hoping for that.

"I'm sorry to hear that happened. It's rough when people don't believe in you. Hopefully there are more who can help now."

Tommy nods. Because yeah, it would be nice if there were more people like that.

"People seem to believe in my ability to get us all fed, so I'll take the w."

"Well, I definitely believe it. The people here seem to be a bit more understanding of issues. I guess because we all seem to have some."

Yeah, they do don't they? Well, that's a relief. He's not a unique thing here, that's a relief.

"You're definitely understanding. It helps."

Yeah, sometimes it is was good to not be unique. In space, Shiro had been one of only three humans and the only one most other Galra or prisoners had seen so he was very unique to them and probably helped garnish some unwanted attention.

"I try to be. I know it can be hard for people."

Shiro isn't wrong, and Tommy offered a nod and a smile at that.

"Well, you're pretty intensely awesome, Shiro. Thanks."
