Sleipnir stood in the grand foyer of Stark Tower, shifting around in his clothes uncomfortably. Clothes. They rubbed against his skin in a way not unlike tack would, only much… softer. He was also wearing shoes- apparently they were called “sneakers.”
He didn’t think he’d be sneaking up on anybody anytime soon in them. They tended to squeak on the marble flooring when he walked (which he had, miraculously, gotten the hang of). He kept expecting to go sliding all over the marble again, since the last time he walked on such a surface it had been worse than ice. He’d also been given several odd accessories, such as something called a cell phone- a black square which lit up and told time, as well as when you pressed a button on the screen it called somebody.
He was informed that the speed dial was Pepper. Not that he knew what a speed dial was. Also, he had been told that the cell phone contained games, and he was allowed to use it the entire time he was human. Sleipnir was unsure of how one could play games with it, though he suspected the colorful buttons had something to do with it. The cell phone blinked on when he touched it, declaring that the time was 8:04. Piper had informed him that she’d meet him and Summer at 8:10. He supposed he’d better just wait, and not get into any situations (which, to be fair, he was likely to get into since he didn’t know much about the world).
Piper, out of her costume, waited in a chair in the grand foyer of the Tower. She was draped in a cushy chair, the U shaped kind with high arms and back, her legs over one arm rest, her neck against the other, sitting in it sideways. In her hands she had her DS, and she was busily mashing buttons to beat the Elite Four to a pulp for the the fifth time.
At the sound of footsteps, she looked up and smiled.
“Hey, Slep!” Piper called out, hopping out of the chair. In his human form, he was dark haired, sharp features, and a little gangly- kinda cute too. “Glad you could make it! Where’s your friend?”
Entirely on cue, Summer shoved the door to Stark Tower open with a well-placed side kick, and stuffed her phone back in her pocket. Holding out a hand to Piper, she smiled. “Summer Rainault. You kids ready?” From a belt loop, she unhooked a jingling set of keys. Flicking through them with just that hand, she winked at Sleipnir.
“You look really good in that shape, Sleip. Piper is going to have to beat them off you with a stick!” She sounded almost gleeful about it. “What’s the plan?”
