The explosion rang through the cellar like a bomb. The ground shook, and most things fell to the ground. The cellar door burst open, and something ginormous nearly broke the stairs going down.
"What's going on?!" Chromie yelled.
"Oh. It's just Cho and Gall." Nova said, pointing to the man.
"It's Cho'Gall!" Cho screamed.
"We are one being!" Gall screeched.
"Ouch. Sorry, I didn't realize that you preferred that." Nova replied.
"The small mortal has apologized to us. Should we accept?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, and we brought respected mutuals!"
"Who?"
"Greyhair, Raybeam, Lady's Man, Beef patty, Holy Girl, Angel Wings, Russia, My First OC, Brother Nature, and Swords!"
Chromie facepalmed. "You mean," she began through clenched teeth, "Greymane, Raynor, Tychus, E.T.C, Johanna, Auriel, Zarya, Xul, Malfurion, and Sonya?"
"Uh-huh!"
"How are you able to decipher all of those ridiculous nicknames?" Sylvanas said.
"Everyone in the Nexus gives one another degrading names. Remember the whole 'Popsicle' incident?"
"Ugh, yes, I remember. Honestly, Arthas acts like a man on the outside, but on the inside he's a filthy manchild, who has a temper almost as bad as Kael'thas!"
"I do not have a temper!" Kael'thas said angrily.
"Uh, yes, yes you do. Remember the 'Filthy Bird' incident?"
"Al'ar is a bird! Birds mate! I can't help if my pet went after some wild birds, and more than a few people...and their children...saw Al'ar doing unspeakable things to a pelican or two!"
"Kael'thas, when Chen brought it up, because poor little Li Li saw a pelican get it on with your precious Al'ar, and suggested you get Al'ar neutered, you set his hair on fire!"
"I'll never get that sight out of my brain. That poor, poor pelican." Li Li muttered.
"BECAUSE BIRDS ARE THE GREATEST CREATURES IN NATURE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THEIR SPECIAL ORGANS REMOVED BECAUSE SOME OVERWEIGHT PANDA HIPPIE COMPLAINED THAT HIS NIECE SAW A BIRD GET-"
The room went silent as the word was said.
"HELLO?! CHILD IN THE ROOM!" Li Li yelled.
"I DON'T GIVE A LIVING DAMN!" Kael'thas screeched, and stomped off towards the direction of the rooms, stopping at a door painted red, opening it, going into the room, and slamming the door so hard it sounded like the bolts were about to come off.
"Well...that just happened…" Greymane muttered in his low, raspy voice.
Sylvanas made a tsk, tsk, tsk noise. "Like I said, temper."
"Guys...guys...I have a marvelous idea…" Li-Ming said.
"Oh no."
"I'm going to open his door…"
"No."
"Walk in front of him…"
"Li-Ming, I disapprove already…"
"And scream 'FILTHY BIRD'. It'll be great."
"Elune, i'm not religious, and I never have been, but if you're out there…" Sylvanas began.
Li-Ming was already walking off towards the door, her heels clicking against the concrete.
"So, in other news, friends…" Brightwing began. "What other friends do we need to find?"
Chromie thought for a moment. "Zagara, Azmodan, Uther, Abathur, Rehgar, Tassadar, Kharazim, Stitches, Rexxar, Muradin, Leoric, Dehaka, Chen, Arthas, Artanis, Anub'arak, Zeratul, Thrall, Samuro, Lunara, Falstad, and Alarak."
"That's. Alot. Of. People." Jaina said, her voice raising in alarm and surprise.
"Yeah, but if they're clumped in groups like this, it'll be a slice of metaphorical cake!" Chromie smiled.
"Okay, yeah, but what if some are hostile?" Nova replied.
"Then we'll battle, like old times!"
"Except there would be actual risks on the table, and it wouldn't just be some dumb stunt for fun and publicity."
"Yeah, but-"
"Yeah but nothing, shortstack. If i'm going to battle other Heroes, I want it to be on my own terms, after this mess is fixed, with no risk of anybody dying."
Chromie pouted. "Then what are we going to do if they are hostile?"
"They probably won't be. We know these guys, remember? But if they are, we'll figure it out diplomatically."
"Diplomatically doesn't always work."
"Yeah, except-"
Just then Li-Ming burst into the room, her hair alight, screaming at the top of her lungs.
"Li-Ming!" Sonya yelled, before rushing over and patting the flames frantically with her hands, trying to stop the flames and prevent them from going any farther down the wizard's head.
"What even happened?!" Jaina yelled, summoning a spell that completely snuffed out the flame.
"So I went in…" Li-Ming huffed, trying to catch her breath and talk at the same time. "And he was brushing his ugly bird. Well, I mean, Al'ar is not ugly, not by a long shot, I just- you know what, forget about the birds appearance. He was so transfixed on brushing loose feathers off of the bird, that he didn't notice me come in. So I tapped him on the head, and he turns around, and he goes 'And what would you want?' so I go 'I just have one thing to say to you.' and he just kinda stares at me, I mean the man's expression was unreadable, and I go 'Filthy Bird.' and he just stares at me. And then he brings his hand up to my hair, and he sets his hand on fire, right then and there."
"This entire day has been moronic." Sylvanas decided, sitting down on the couch and turning on the T.V.
"What're you watching, love?" Tracer sat down next to Sylvanas, staring at her with girlish wonder.
"What do you think?"
"Ooh, lemme guess! The Walkin' Dead!"
"No, i'm going to watch Shaun of the Dead."
"You like comedies?"
"Just because i'm undead and naturally smell like a ratburger doesn't mean I don't have a sense of humor. So yes, I like comedies."
