"Please, please, please! Let's just aaaaaaall settle down."
The Evil Emperor Zurg let out a sinister, low-toned chuckle and lounged back in his throne, rather amused and beside himself with a slight smirk to prove it. He was currently staring at his counterfoes and the...new recruit they had seemed to tag along--although Zurg's scowl did surface once he spotted Darkmatter with the bunch.
"Cora? What an interesting name..." He spoke up, catching his agent and the girl briefly exchanging heated words. She was spunky, he would give that, but she was also foolish and hasty to spit her...ahah, mind.
Shifting his position and crossing one leg over the other, the Evil Emperor rested his arms on the throne's armrests and decided to get straight to the chase.
"Why are you tailing me, Lightyear." He asked casually. "It's not Friday and everyone knows I scheme on Friday and enact very evil plans to conquer/destroy the Galactic Alliance. What excuse have you for chasing me through the eternal void of space, hmm?" Zurg continued as he leaned forward, his smirk now a maddening grin.
"I'd really like to hear it..."
((Had work/school/sickness))

((@steel: I couldn’t help Buzz smart-mouthing – the idea came, and it was just too good to pass up. ^^ eez: D’awww! =( *hugs* And actually, it IS Friday… just check the first page…)) “Pity,” Buzz returned mildly. “Some people can actually manage both – though maybe that’s too much to ask of you.” Buzz was somewhere between shock and amusement. “Cadet!” Erin, about the same, clapped her hand over her mouth. Ricki’s eyes widened. Booster gaped. XR whistled. The previous shocked amusement drained from Buzz’s eyes, leaving them icy blue. “Don’t talk to her like that,” he snapped, almost before Hellboy had finished speaking. “That’s really low when you threaten a kid.” Buzz raised his chin slightly. “We’re on the trail of some missing Star Command property, and we had reason to believe that you might be in possession of it. That’s all.” He shrugged one shoulder. “If not, we’ll be happy to hit the spacelanes again, right, team?”

“And some people don’t know when to keep their mouths shut,” he spat back heatedly. Temper rising, temper rising... never a good sign. He could feel his tail hairs beginning to bristle underneath his spacesuit. “As long as I get the job done I don’t care what you think of me.”
And that was when he snapped. He marched forward and punched Buzz squarely in the face with his flesh-and-blood hand. “Sorry, Zurg,” he clipped, stepping back. “He was asking for it.”

((HAH. Not Friday Planet Z time!))
Zurg listened to everything the Space Ranger said with a rather unamused expression.
"Funny, I thought I just heard you accusing me of stealing Star Command property....I am mildly offended." Him!? Stealing some Star Command piece of junk!? Since when did Lightyear doubt his evil capabilities!? An Evil Emperor can only steal Lightyear's newspaper so many times before growing bored! Stealing Star Command property...as if! It wasn't technically stealing if they practically left it out at their borde--THWACK!
The Evil Emperor snapped out of his mental brooding with a jolt and spied his agent giving Lightyear a good, ol' fashioned five-finger discount to the face.
"I take it that was a sore spot." Well, that was certainly brightening up Zurg's day! His agent was ruthless and without scruples in a fist fight! Much better than Darkmatter and his pansy partying.
"You better keep that girl on a leash." Zurg warned. "I doubt my agent has more patience than I do. Now, I'm assuming..." He paused, tapping his plated fingers. "...That you're searching for the same thing I am, yes? Are we still on the same page together, Lightyear~! Or are you losing your edge."

Buzz bit back a smirk. Okay, so it was probably dangerous and stupid, bating Hellboy like this, but… hey, Buzz was actually bothering the guy. Goodie.
As though butter wouldn’t melt… oh brother. “I didn’t,” Buzz returned mildly. “We have to check into all the angles – that’s how it works.”
Buzz stumbled backward slightly, his vision going red for a few moments. In those few moments, he really wanted to pound the living daylights out of Hellboy. You can only take so much abuse, especially from one person, and when you happen to be the hero of the galaxy… “suffering in silence” don’t cut it.
Then a thought occurred to him, before he could do anything stupid. At least he didn’t hit Cora… The relief was a tangible thing, and he actually smiled slightly.
Yeah, he could take a blow for his future daughter. That was part of being a dad.
Okay, Buzz reeeeally wished Zurg would stop intimating that Buzz was losing his edge. Heroes never lost their edge!
Buzz folded his arms, pulling off a look very suited to his rank despite his freshly-bruised face. “I guess that depends – being on the same page, I mean. I’m looking for two holocubes.” Welp, he said it.

Oh hell no. Seeing her father get punched in the face set Cora on edge. But that was mainly her fault. She should have bit her tongue and let the shock just set in. But no, she just had to say something, like she always did. But she couldn't help herself, she was intrigued by Hellboy to the point where being sarcastic became necessary rather than praising the villain.
Mira flinched when the fist struck and pulled Cora closer to her. That could have been Cora that would have gotten hit. Not Buzz, which Mira was thankful for, no matter how wrong that sounded.
"Craters, why can't I learn to just shut my mouth?"
"Because you're sixteen. Now shut up before anything else happens."

"Holocubes!?" Zurg repeated with an incredulous spat, even straightening a bit in his seat. What a...what a...What!? Holocubes!? Lightyear thought he was out in space, using precious and expensive fuel, for some kind of...cube!? Puh-lease!
"I'm not out and about in space for some trinkets!" The Evil Emperor howled in agitation. "If I wanted some junk, I'd send out my agent to collect! Darkmatter can testify well enough to that! Why would I be interested in a set of child's playthings!?"

"Yeeess, that junk. The kind that you have to go look for at 4:00 am from some obsured reason." Warp said in contemplative tone, grinning slightly.

Erin clamped a hand over her mouth at Warp’s comment.
Buzz just raised an eyebrow. “I can think of a reason or two, but if you have nothing to do with them, that’s classified information, so we’ll just be going now.” He even turned away as if to leave – not really intending to, mind you, but more to see what would happen.

Erin's movement caught Warp's, and the impression that he got was that she had somehow found his comment amusing.
Did I say something that was funny? He shot Erin a look, with an unspoken question, as he turned to follow Buzz out of the room

Hellboy rolled his eyes. Yeah, he could relate to that. Some of those side missions had been at the most irregular hours... and had been some of the strangest things he’d had to pick up.
“Not so fast,” Hellboy growled when Buzz turned around. “The Evil Emperor hasn’t given you official leave yet.”
Not to mention it was an incredibly stupid move to turn your back on your enemy... but the demon would only attack when Zurg said so.

Buzz smirked at Hellboy over his shoulder. “As if I ever waited for Zurg to give me official leave – right, Zurg?” Hmm, this cocky act was kinda fun.

Warp's face was split by a full-blown grin. Why the situation warranted a grin, he still had to figure out, but it felt good all the same. "Only people who work for Zurg really have to ask to leave the room, Hellboy. You're the only one here who fits that category." He didn't mean it as an insult, he just had to say it. "Oh, and if Zurg really cared, don't you think he could say so by himself?"

Hellboy let Buzz’s comment brush past him, seeing as it was directed at the Evil Emperor. But Warp’s comment, though it may or may not have been intended as an insult, sent his blood boiling again and he shot back without thinking, “Official leave didn’t stop you from partying and sleeping around behind Zurg’s back. At least I have standards, unlike you.”

An aggitated breath hissed through Warp's clenched teeth. He wanted very badly to let Hellboy know just how sensitive that particular topic was to him. But he thought better of it. "For someone, like myself, who was only ever doing things behing peoples backs, it wasn't a big deal."
He folded his arms and said, "For someone like you on the other hand... You came here with standards. Being a criminal and having standards don't exactly go hand-in-hand." Warp paused. "And I do have standards now."
