Okay guys, so the plot has been set in motion. The trio's stuck in the year 2015, and the only one who's noticed most of [i]anything[/i] is some normal person named... Steve.
Steve has no plans on meeting "aliens" like these.

"Oh my gosh, aliens. Aliens are here!" Steve said to himself, trying to contain his excitement and mortal terror as he put fresh batteries into his flashlight.
Throwing on his blue ski jacket over his t-shirt and putting on his casual sneakers, Steve prepared himself to go outside. Though he was ill-prepared for the crisp Winter air.
Opening his room door quietly, Steve tiptoed out of his room, careful not to wake up his sleeping mother.
"Gonna tell my peeps about this. Gonna tell the government about this..." He planned to himself, as he moved a hand on the hall wall, looking for the light switch.
"No, bad idea. Bad." Steve mumbled to himself, removing his hand from the wall. Turning on lights was the [i]last[/i] thing he wanted to do. Jiggling the batteries inside of his flashlight, Steve flicked its light on as he slowly went down the creaky stairs.
Breathing heavily, Steve finally made it to the bottom of the stairs and quietly unlocked the door that led outside. And, opening the door, the household security alarm went off.
"[I]BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, FRONT DOOR.[/I]" The alarm blared with an artificial voice.
"Oh crap, ADT! NOT. RIGHT. NOW." He hissed, putting his flashlight in his mouth to input the code to disarm the system.
"[I]DISARMED. NOT READY TO ARM.[/I]" The alarm blared once again.
"Shhhhhhut up!" Steve said, taking the flashlight out of his mouth and addressing the alarm in a panicking tone, as if it could really obey him. Taking a few deep breaths, he put his hand on the knob of the door, slowly turning it. "Here goes..." He whispered, opening the door slowly.
Stepping outside, Steve took a few breaths, watching his breath dissipate into the cold air. Suddenly, it hit him.
"Ooh, aiee! COLD!" He said, sprinting in place, trying to knock the chill on his freezing legs off.
"Here goes... Nothing."

The Warlock paced back and forth as her Ghost lit the way.
"How could we have been sent [i]centuries[/i] back in time?" She thought aloud as she continued to pace.
The Hunter leaned his head against a tree, scoffing. "As if I know..." He said sarcastically as he picked blades of grass out of the ground.
"I was talking to [i]myself[/i]!" The Warlock snapped at the Hunter, stopping her pacing to look at him. "Honestly, this is the last thing we need at the moment!"
The Titan was still looking around, completely mesmerized by how different Earth was compared to the future. Soon he strayed from his other two teammates, going off [i]somewhere[/i].
"All I'm saying is if you're talking to yourself, do it in your head!" The Hunter said to the Warlock.
"Oh, and [i]you've[/i] never done anything like that before?!" The Warlock retorted bitterly.
Behind the bushes near his house, Steve was recording the Warlock and Hunter arguing with a phone in one hand, and pointing his flashlight at them with the other.
"I can see two figures over there..." Steve said to his recording. "They're wearing some sort of armor, I think? Speaking in native alien tongue or something... It looks like they're arguing..." He continued, watching the squabble.

"[b]Nerd[/b]!" The Hunter snapped at the Warlock.
"[b]Jerk[/b]!" The Warlock snapped back.
"They're awful close... They might be engaging in some sort of mating ritual..."
Both the Hunter and Warlock, catching that, turned their heads to the source to see where that [i]obscene[/i] theory had came from.
"MATING RITUAL?!" The Hunter and Warlock shouted at Steve, who wasn't very well hidden behind the bush.
Steve jumped and started to panic, he was spotted! "OH CRAP-- THEY'RE TALKING TO ME! [i]IN MY LANGUAGE[/i]!" Steve said into his camera recording as he started to back up, still pointing his flashlight at the Hunter and Warlock. Steve saw that the Warlock was saying [i]something[/i] to the Hunter, but he couldn't catch whatever they were saying.
"I-I'm finished! They're gonna eat my brains and use my skin like a fur coat!" Steve continued to blabber into his phone. He started to make a break for it, but he bumped into something solid. "OH MY POOR NOSE!" Steve shrieked, holding his bloodying nose.
Looking up with horror, Steve saw that it was [i]another[/i] alien. It seemed to be more armored than the others he had seen. Slowly raising its hand, Steve was struck with fear as he waited for the "alien" to react.
"Hi there~!" The Titan greeted in a friendly tone, waving and looking down at Steve.
"AAAAAAAAGHHHHH!" Steve screeched, fueled from the prejudice and surprise by the Titan. And, right there, Steve blacked out.

The Fireteam stood over the unconscious Steve.
The Warlock looked up from Steve for a brief moment to look at the Titan. "Titan," she began, "[i]What[/i] in the Traveler's name did you do to him?"
The Titan looked up at the Warlock and waved his hands defensively. "H-hey, I didn't do anything! All I said was 'hello' and he passed out!"
The Hunter kept his gaze on Steve. "Pfft- He looks like a loser, he probably scared [i]himself[/i]."
The Warlock looked at the Hunter, putting a hand on her hip. "Tsk, Hunter, this is [i]not[/i] the time!" She said disapprovingly.
The Hunter muttered under his breath. "It's never the time, is it?"
The Titan looked behind himself to see Steve's house. "Maybe we should take him back to his house..."
The Hunter scoffed at the Titan. "Oh please, that's--
"Fantastic!" The Warlock exclaimed. The both the Hunter and the Titan looked at the Warlock.
"Fantastic?" They both said. The Warlock nodded. "Thank you [i]both[/i] for volunteering~!"
"WHAT?!"

The Titan stood in front of Steve's house door, along with the Hunter, who was carrying Steve in his arms bridal style.
"Okay... We're just going to go in, go out?" The Titan asked the Hunter, evaluating their plan once again.
The Hunter nodded dismissively. "Yeah, yeah! Can we just go?! This dude smells like chips or something." The Hunter said with undisguised disgust. Normally, the Hunter wouldn't mind chip-smell. But if the smell got on his [i]cloak[/i] then that would be trouble.
"Okay... Here we go." The Titan said, about to enter the house. But wait... "Why isn't the door opening?" The Titan asked, confused. In [i]their[/i] time, the doors would just open themselves. What were they going to do with the golden knobthat was on the door?
The Titan leaned towards the knob, examining it. "Do we press it...?" He said to himself as he pressed a finger onto the knob.
Nothing happened.
"Hmm..." The Titan said properly standing up, puzzled by this puzzling puzzle.
"Look, how 'bout this?" The Hunter muttered, kicking the door hard. The door swung open, but at the same time it put a dent in it. "There we go." The Hunter said triumphantly, stepping inside of the dark house.
The Titan followed the Hunter, wandering away from the Hunter as his Ghost lit his path. "This is so weird..." He remarked, picking upa cube off the lit coffee table. "What is [i]this[/i]?" He wondering, inspecting the cube. It had a matching arrangement of colors, each lined up differently, yet the bracket of colors weren't lined up with each other.

"Mmm, I know~... You're a princess and I'm a lowly peasant...~" Steve murmured in his sleep as he started to cuddle up with the Hunter, who was still holding him. Soon, Steve started kissing the Hunter's helmeted face.
The Hunter shuddered, as he continued to carry Steve up the stairs and through the halls. "Ugh, dude, NO." The Hunter hissed, pulling his head away from Steve.
The Hunter finally stopped in front of what he assumed to be Steve's room. "'Kay, time to get lost..." The Hunter muttered, stepping inside of Steve's room and dropping him onto his bed. But Steve had the Hunter's cloak gripped in his hands, so the Hunter went down with Steve.
"Look. Will you let go?!" The Hunter growled, trying to get Steve to release his grip. He just wanted to get [i]away[/i] from this geek.
