Natu.

2004, for...a supporting role. What does air taste like?

...maybe.

Batter had drifted off, and was awoken by him being thrown across the room. Now, he had one of the worst hangovers since- "Ffffffuck. What happened..." He stood up and scanned the room, rubbing his forehead and finding blood. Everyone was gone except for Thialfi and some other newcomer. He'd...

"One more..." Batter was leaning forward, rubbing his forehead in one hand, and holding the empty shotglass in another.

Batter quietly downed his fourth shot. He was already starting to feel the buzz, but he remained silent anyway, watching the conversation with mild interest.

"Sure." Batter got up and joined David. He was about to take a drink when he spotted another newcomer in the doorway. Before he could say anything, the creature spoke first: "Look, I was in the middle of some calibrations and heard a whole bunch of noise and action. I don't suppose any of you...

"Then we're in agreement. I won't attack anyone right away, including Icarus, but in return you have to listen to me." he remembered he had Thialfi's hammer and set it down next to the sleeping demigod.

Batter scowled. "I've been right this whole time, and yet you still don't trust my judgment? I even took your advice for once and didn't confront the metal man, and look what happened anyway." stepping over Thialfi, he sat down on the couch and sighed. "I will attack whoever appears to be...

Batter stayed in the other room with Thialfi, testing out his limbs and seeing if the spell had completely worn off. "I don't think we can trust Icarus." he said to the Norseman, "He puts too much faith in everyone he comes across. You saw what happened, what if he lets another impurity onto the...

"Dammit! I knew it, too." Batter sprinted back out towards where the angels and the witch were, kicking open the door while they were still in conversation. "A metal man just blew apart one of the engines. Some help would be appreciated. Eh-" he spotted the witch near them and grit his teeth...

Batter followed David, keeping his bat drawn. "I don't like this." he muttered to the other two, "We should set up a perimeter in case he tries to escape."

Being the scrutinizing person he was, Batter wouldn't let up until he personally saw the thing flying away from the ship. He stepped aside, but kept a firm grip on his bat. "Hurry up, metal man. You know we won't hold back if you try anything."

Batter got into his ready stance. He didn't know what this thing was; it was made of metal, that's for sure, but it didn't seem to give off any spectral energy. Nevertheless, he stood by David and glared at the robot, awaiting its reply.

Batter's face twitched a little at the boy's reply, but he got up and left without a word. He joined David at the door and sighed, turning to the hallway. "So, the engine room. Where is it?"
