They hadn't even told the team about them until that incident with the mirrors in The Viceroy's castle. The only person that knew about them was Portia Bella because it's impossible to keep secrets from her; if Rett is considered the "team therapist" she's considered the "captain's therapist". Anyways, they are racing to this location and when they get there, there is a fleet of old, shoddy, mismatched ships with a slightly larger clunkier one leading the way. Just as Rett was about to hail them in a fucking tear in the fabric of reality opens up like a zipper and a large impossibly constructed ship appears out of nowhere. The familiar boom of Gideon's voice filters through the coms: "Permissions to come aboard?" The hanger doors open, Shepherd's ship docks and Gideon's gigantic monstrosity is somehow able to shrink down and fit in as well. The two brothers are the first to see each other, not knowing that the other had been missing too. They wonder aloud "what the hell happened to you?" before embracing in a tight hug that nearly breaks them down. They hold strong up until their dads show up, and it's like a dam is broken for all of them.
They run to each other, collapsing into a heap of raw anguish and overwhelming joy, holding each other tight enough to bruise, as if it was the only way to confirm that this was real and not some wistful hallucination. After about 20 minutes or so the tears subsided enough for the small family to notice that they were not alone and in fact being watched. Each of their crew members silently watched the reunion with fondness and a few watery eyes. Rett, ever the host and ship captain, composed himself as best he could before asking everyone if they've eaten dinner yet. They all piled into the lounge area, everyone pitching in to help set up extra seating and a select few (Clayton, Kremy, and Portia) helping Rett out in the kitchen. Everyone talking excitedly and filling each other in on their adventures and what they missed. "What the fuck do you mean, you and Kremy are married now?" "How the fuck did you get a kid, Shepherd?" "You guys stopped a Cacophony apocalypse?!"
Some of my headcanons on what species the ouaw and cos crew would be. Though the ouaw crew has been discussed by the Avantris team on lives before. The only ones I did change was Twig (it fit the narrative better) and Kremy (I know Richie said he would be a Gorgonite but god damn it I want my alligator man to stay an alligator π€) Gideon - Raizo Kremy - Saurians (Deinosuchus) Gricko - Glowblin Frost - Clawderan Torbek - Laika (junkyard dog) Twig - Anitron; looks like a combination Human/Amanite/Poggle Hootsie - Space Owlbear (she is perfect as is π₯°) Shepherd - Nilari/Solari Sarnax - Saurians (Planocephalosaurus) Victoria - Solari/Human Kana - Human Clayton - Human
