Victoria hadn't patrolled in a while but he felt compelled to go out. He hadn't seen anyone from the asteroids in a while and well he starting to feel a bit lonely. He wasn't looking for a fight, he was hoping he wouldn't get into a fight tonight.
The senshi of Glory had been growing his hair out lately as well, so it was longer now, just below his shoulders. His two youngest sisters loved playing with it so he didn't mind. If it made them happy, but even his sibblings couldn't quell his loneliness.
He was skating up a quite neighborhood street and rounded the corner towards the shops to see what was going on there when he felt a chaos aurora. ". . . ******** my luck." He muttered as he slowed trying to get his barrings on what the aurora precisely belonged to.

The feel of an Order aura on his level made Ashanite frown. It was a Senshi - so not Mont Blonc, but maybe Aegir or Methone. He wasn't sure if he hoped it was one of them, or that it wasn't.
It wasn't. He spotted the Senshi in red and blue, and considered him with some interest from a distance before he moved a little closer. "I'm not going to hurt you," he promised, and to prove his point he dismissed his weapon as stood in front of the other man with his hands raised in an obvious gesture of surrender. Besides, with still-healing bruises exposed by his rather skimpy uniform, he certainly didn't look much of a threat.

The sudden words behind him caused Victoria to jump and look startled despite the fact the other said he wasn't going to hurt him. He gave a sigh and started nervously laughing a little bit, "You, scared the daylights out of me."
In his voice was a hint of his Russian accent. He'd been speaking heavily with his grandparents since he was spending most of his time at home or work and less time at the skate park, though he still had his board with him. "
Victoria tilted his head softly looking at the Captain's bruises and fairly skimpy uniform. There were touches of concern on his face, though he knew he'd been told countless times not to trust them. They were the demons and his kind were the angels . . . . Victoria sighed at the thoughts that passed his mind. He couldn't help but at least be thankful for someone who wanted at least peaceful interaction.
"You okay?" He asked finally after a few moments of awkward silence realizing he was taking in the other man's appearance and figure, in perhaps much deeper thought and fascination than he really should have. He brushed off the thoughts, "I'm Victoria by the way super senshi, and you are captain . . . ?" He'd been around long enough to know auras at least.

Ashanite laughed lightly. "Then I apologize," he said, "I certainly didn't mean to." He took a few more steps forward, considering the other man in what was a blatantly evaluating way. Lovely long hair, a nicely-fitted uniform (though in his opinion it could perhaps stand to be just a bit tighter, but that was because he wanted more of a look at the Senshi's figure.)
The Russian accent - much subtler than his London, but still present, was an attractive addition to the package. Oh yes, he was deeply interested in this man.
"Oh, these?" He glanced at his bruises, shrugged his shoulders. "Nothing, really." Let him draw his own conclusions. "Ploutonion, please. I was a Squire of Saturn before I was a Captain, and the change wasn't my choice. I far prefer my Wonder name to the one that was chosen for me."

Victoria could feel a slowly rising heat in his cheeks when he realized the other was checking him out as well. The London accent took a minute to place, though Victoria couldn't deny it when he did finally locate where the accents belong.
His brows knitted, okay he couldn't help it dealing with his sisters taught him to watch bruises, "You've been keepin' an eye on them though? If they get hot you should see someone to make sure they're not clotting or infected." He said trying to focus on something . . . normal?
Though his attention was caught, "Ploutonion?" He paused, where had he heard the name? He was thinking, "S-so what's it like being . . . " he paused looking curious and tried to think of the words he wanted to use, biting his upper lip for a second. "Corrupted?"

"Ah, yes, I'm being careful - but they're healing well enough," the concern from a stranger surprised him, but it was also a fantastic in. And he loved easy ins. Sparring with Xenotime was paying dividends he never could have expected.
But this was when things got delicate. "My....corruption was something of a spectacle," he said, "public and flashy. But since I've been brought in - I would undo it if I could, and I don't always like what we have to do," he had to play this just right, "but the Negaverse has provided. Mostly. I have somewhere to stay, I can eat. I'm surviving." He shrugged his shoulders.
"But what's a handsome man like you doing out all alone? Things are so dangerous, here."

Victoria nodded softly as he listened to the other saying he was being careful.
There was a pause as he listened, "Oh, so as to make an example of you?" He asked looking a little confused, it was a decent statement piece but to Victoria that seemed like a poor tactical choice, if there was fighting. He shook his head slightly, no he needed to stop that, thinking in Tactical didn't work here, it didn't work well.
"My team's not big on the whole of the negaverse either . . . perching how dangerous others can be. . . I'd probably get my a** kicked for standing here talking to you instead of fighting." He scratched the back of his neck with his free hand, eyes slightly down on the ground and shifting. Iris would kill him. . .
"I mean at least they provide you shelter and food. . . They obviously can't be all horrid monsters. I-if you don't mind my asking did you have. . . family?" He asked, wondering what it'd be like to be just ripped from your family out of the blue.
He paused when he was called handsome a blush clearly across his face. "I - uh. . . " He couldn't tell him why he was really out here could he? "I, um, well I was hoping to meet up with some of my team mates but. . . . ahah - ha . . . as you can see they're obviously not here at the moment." Yeah that was it, he could fake meeting people just in case. No kidnappings, hopefully. . . . right?

"It was a statement," Ashanite said, "about the futility of defiance." He reached up to adjust his glasses briefly, tensing in a way that should be noticeable but natural-looking. "I told a General-Queen no. She took umbrage, and decided to make an example of me for it."
"We're not all dangerous," Ashanite said, and he gave a faint smile. "I'm really not, I promise, if I actually tried to fight you I'd probably injure myself," it came out light and teasing and a little bit playful. He was the opposite of dangerous, really, and that was actually entirely honest. "As for family...I don't know. I lost...memories. A lot of them. I remember being Ploutonion, mostly. Nothing of my old civilian life." He exhaled. "The biggest thing I would undo." True even given his willing choice.
"Ah, you're expected...by members of a team who prefer to attack people like me on sight?" His tone was obviously concerned. "I'm glad your team is late, I'd much rather a nice chat."

"Well that is some statement." Victoria mused as the other reached to adjust his glasses, "Ah... I'm surprised you faced a General-Queen. I. . . would probably just hide behind the princess of my team." He said softly looking almost sheepish at the thought. He didn't like to fight either if he could help it. He would if he had to, which was different.
"Mmhmm" Victoria nodded, "I mean I haven't had much experience with the negaverse in general outside large battles that I've no idea how they've started. . . . "
He nodded giving a slight chuckle, "I - I know the feeling, I'm expected to hold my own and I'm lucky to be able to fist fight a youma." He sounded almost overwhelmed at the idea, stopping though when Plou mentioned that he didn't remember anything of his civilian life, not even his family and he looked a little mortified.
"Dammn," He mused, "I-I couldn't picture what my family would do without me, I have so many sibblings to help take care of. I'm so sorry dude."
He nodded softly, well he wasn't really but . . . he still felt better knowing that Plou believe it. "Y-yeah, I mean. . . they're not bad people, they all mean well." He said as he moved, clearly a little nervous speaking to Ashanite, "It is nice to be able to talk to others, it makes the whole . . . powered world feel not so lonely."

"Princess?" Ashanite asked, and his curiosity was genuine. A Princess, a team -- it was starting to sound like Victoria might be an interesting prospect for the Negaverse. He began to turn over possibilities, mentally.
If his corruption had been a statement, Victoria's would be a declaration.
And besides, he sounded so very terribly lonely. That was a tragedy - even as he spoke of a team, he spoke of needing to feel less lonely. Clearly, Victoria's team - and perhaps his family - wasn't taking care of him the way he needed to be. Siblings struck a chord Ashanite couldn't quite identify, one that aches in his chest.
"I don't know if I had any," he said, and he sounded a little distant. "I did have...friends, a team, and they tried to help me, but ultimately it was...hopeless." He shrugged his shoulders. "One does not stand against a General-Queen." He took a few steps closer, enough that he could reach out and brush a lock of hair away from Victoria's face.
"But...if I can help you feel a bit less lonely, then well, I'll just have to risk your team's ire. Someone so handsome shoudk never have to complain of being alone."

Victoria paused and then nodded softly, though he stopped for a few before sighing, "I'm going to assume you've heard of Princess Iris through the vines."
Victoria frowned when the other said he didn't know if he had any. Then friends and a team . . . The super looked at him, "But you miss them, you're team that is?" He asked in a curious tone, could it be possible to miss people you don't even remember to exist?
Victoria visibly tensed when the other came closer, he wasn't expecting the sudden contact, but of course the other didn't intend to hurt him. He'd already said that, he gave a sheepish smile as his face continued to hold the red in his cheeks. "Y-yeah, it's silly." He said finally, "but thanks."
Vicky had realized he'd locked eyes with Plou when he brushed his hair out of his face, marveling over the vividness of those violet eyes, hidden behind the other man's glasses.

"I hadn't, actually," Ashanite said, and his voice was soft and gentle. Iris was an unfamiliar name, but an interesting one. Something to learn more about. Information about her would bolster him with Victoria - or at least let him know if the Senshi lied to him about her.
"Of course I miss them," he said, but he shrugged his shoulders. "But -- leaving would be difficult. The Negaverse does not like letting its own go." It was hard to say if that would work on someone like Victoria, acquainted with a Princess, but perhaps that could be his in. Let the handsome Senshi think he wanted to purify, but was afraid...
Yes. Yes, that would do nicely.
So his hand shifted to cup the side of Victoria's cheek, and then he leaned in to press a brief kiss to the Senshi's lips.
"I should go, before your friends get here. Another time?" He asked, playfully, but he didn't wait for an answer.
Instead, he let go, took a step back, and vanished.
