Falling Petal was still next to the counter with the payments, as Ace came in to try every flavor at once she was glomped by an excited plant heroine. "Son of a gun, Ace? I didn't know you were part of the cleanup, I have all your comic books! Okay, so you<em>have</em>to try the bourbon-pecan-pie flavor..."<br/><br/>Of course it was a<em>very</em>long line, and with so many flavors Ace might have to start serving up ice cream herself if she wanted to get enough enough cones without waiting in line over and over again...<br/><br/>She wasn't the only hero getting icecream either, along with first-responders there was Dove Boy, and the Whispering Clock, and Shadethrower (who shouldn't have been any good at search-and-rescue, but for some reason he could shame fire and rubble into being somewhere else)...<br/><br/>Petal beamed at Darclight's arrival at the end of the line, if there was something wrong with him not wanting ice cream, it didn't show.<br/><br/>"Hey! Darclight, right? We worked together on the Mecha-Godzilla-2000 situation." Well, them and about a hundred other heroes. She listened intently as she licked her green tea ice cream. "This isn't an official liaison request is it? You're just looking for me. Darc, it's kind of you to offer, but to tell the truth I've got a lot of people counting on me and I can't throw it away to join another team. I've actually taken over Myrtlemaster's conservatory now that he's, well,<em>away</em>and it's sort of this hidden wonder of the world, if you didn't know better you'd swear it was legitimately a pocket dimension, I should show you, there's this time right at sunrise when the flowers start to open and it's like you're surfing in slow-motion on a wave of color, and- sorry, getting carried away." She put a hand to her chin, dissatisfied with that answer. "You're a lot more likely to solve this crisis than most though, and I do want to help. How's this? They're starting to reimpose work time regulations because the French heroes keep complaining about too much overtime, so I have to take breaks now and again, but they don't get to tell me what to<em>do</em>with my breaks." Reaching into her belt, she tossed him a signal device.<br/><br/>"Nothing official, but we can help each other. Call me up for a consultation or some fire-support. If I'm not dealing with another crisis already, I'll swing by. I don't know what the Stormwatch title for 'Highly-Motivated Part-Time Freelancer' is but I can totally put it on my stationary. And the other way around, I hope? We get a<em>lot</em>of brushfires that could go so much smoother with high-end help."<br/><br/>Auxilia, helping pass out ice cream and medical supplies, stopped at Kanina. "Kanina, are there other Zachieks on this planet? Someone's been asking for info on rabbits in starships for a while. Could just be an enthusiast, mind you. Do you have fans?"<br/><br/>Another Auxilia blinked at Tabs, leaning in to whisper in her ear, "hey, um, I don't really want to make a scene, but if that's what you were after, why didn't you ask any of the ones in my neighbor's clinic?"
