---

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn is back at Mutant Town, a place full of crime and shady people, many of whom never really forgave her for punishing them for stealing her faerie dust. But hey, at least she isn't getting targetted for being a mutant right? She had called Connor, hoping to meet him out in the park for a nice little walk. Hopefully they wont run into any trouble this afternoon and she's all dressed for a pleasurable stroll in a cute pink summery dress, humming some tune aloud as she waits.

Superboy has posed:
Conner has been texting Megan most of the day, like most days since they started to seriously dating. He waited a long time for Megan, and now he can't keep his hand off her. Perfectly normal teenage romance, seriously.

Good thing about Mutant Town is he doesn't need to hide who he is. Just be somewhat wary about getting pictures taken, as he wants to keep his civilian identity separated from his Superboy career. But he meets Megan while flying, lands to hug her, and grins when he asks, "what would you like to do today? Uh, nice dress. But not good for clubbing, I guess."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn smiles, rising from her bench, moving to join Conner and hugging him quickly, "Heey! How've you been? I missed you." she pouts. It's not like she hadn't seen him the other day, but you know how it is. "So! What you wanna do today? It's soo nice out today an not many days of summer left." she grins, "I'll try not to get in trouble this time.."

Superboy has posed:
"Trouble is my second name," comments Conner, still smiling. "Lets see, we could go get some food. Maybe buy you something nice. Bit too late to go to the beach, but we can plan that for Saturday, right? Hey, I asked first."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn chuckles, leaning over to kiss him on the cheek before looping her arm with his. "Ooh, me too, aren't we a bunch of trouble makers?" she giggles, walking alongside him. "How about some icecream to start?"

Superboy has posed:
"Yes, good plan," except maybe there is not a good place for ice cream in Mutant Town. At least not really good. Of course, it being somewhat of a tourist attraction, there are stands in the main streets. Onwards. "I am actually in the summer break, so I am doing some travel. I have been thinking, how much information do you need to teleport to a new place?"

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn hmms, "Mutant town's a weird place. There are good places and bad places around here. Let's see.." she smiles and tugs him along. "There's a shoddy looking place I know, but they sell the best icecream!" she beams. "Come on!"

Superboy has posed:
"I was going to..." but he stops, letting Megan drag him to her 'shoddy looking' place. She is the native one, after all. "Mutant Town is awesome. Well, I mean, the people is, the neighborhood not so much.

And Megan is not answering his questions. Conner is not sure if he should press the issue or just move on. After all she has her 'guardians' looking over her shoulder. Scary older mutants or something. "So, uh... busy with your school, I guess?"

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn smiles, not looking shaken as she steps into the shoddy, broken down icecream parlour..Which is actually not so bad on the inside. it's actually quite quaint with the black and white diamond floor and music posters from the 80s and even a little jukebox machine in the corner, playing some upbeat retro music.

There's also a long lineup and looks like they have absolutely every flavor imaginable. "Haha, I'm taking the summer off but starting up again soon.." she makes a face. "Not all that keen on going back to college but..I guess school is school! At least I have a bit more freedom now. How about you? What you up to, lately?"

Superboy has posed:
"I am going to start the senior year," replies Conner. "They say it is the toughest, but I have been doing well so far. It is not difficult, and usually it is interesting." He looks around at the parlor. Looks better inside, yes. This is pretty typical of Mutant Town. But he guesses it some kind of camouflage.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn smiles. "Woow, yeah..So I hear! But hey, you're probably like, super smart and stuff right? what was your major again, business or management or something?" she grins and nods to the line-up. "Like I said, popular place, *really* good ice cream, the best really.."

She giggles as she waits in the line up, peering around and fanning herself a bit with a sigh. "Ohh..I guess their fan broke again, it sure is getting hot.." she makes a face. "It's really sad, they struggle to make a living, like a lot of places in mutant town.."

Superboy has posed:
"Political science, maybe I should aim for a double one, and get Journalism too. I have the minor already, but it would be at least another semester," explains Conner. "I am running out of savings. I also could try to find a job and finish the second major more slowly. My secret is I have more time, not that I am smarter. I just sleep far less than a regular human."

Uff, fan broken. Not even real AC. Not that he feels the heat enough to be bothered. "You want to wait outside? Just tell me the flavor you want."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn ooohs, "Right, right! I'm silly, you mentionned that before.." she laughs a bit nervously, must have a lot on her mind lately. "Well that's cool, I mean, not having to sleep as much..Do you get the super speed too? I wonder what that would be like?"

She sighs longingly, peering ahead at the sloowly receeding line. At least they can see the front table and the assortment of icecream now..But of course Megan is having a hard time choosing. "Ooh, I wish I could just order them all!" she shrugs and smiles, "It's okay, if I flutter my wings really fast I can fan myself down, besides, at least the sun's not beating down on me so hard in here.."

Riight, just lots of squishy bodies in here.

Superboy has posed:
"Superspeed actually requires a fair bit of concentration and energy," points out Conner. "It is a lot of kinetic energy to handle, and crashes are nasty. It is not good for studying, the mind speeds up, but after a minute real time I get very tired and need to stop for a few. I get five or six extra hours of the day, though. It is enough." He shrugs. "I am not super-smart or anything. I have friends that are much smarter than me."

The wing beating thing makes him smirk. "No Pixie dust in the shop, hmm? Told you, tell me what you want and I'd get it for you."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn hmms, "Wow, never thought of that..I guess that's not much help for studying then.." she sighs, "I guess having smart friends is helpful too. I guess for me, I just have a really short patience and I get bored easily.."

The comment about Pixie dust does cause her to pout a bit. "Awwe, I guess you're right..I mean.." she sighs, stepping out of the line. "Hmmmm I've always liked the Remixed Spumoni ice cream.." Megan grins as she backs towards the door and winks, "Told ya they have exotic flavors...See you soon!"

Superboy has posed:
Conner laughs, playfully poking Megan as she leaves. But, of course, he is out in a few minutes with a giant cone ice cream of Remixed Spumoni. His own pick is chocolate and toffee half-half. "I hope you had enough patience and not too bored yet," he says as he offers her the cone. "Walk to the park or do you prefer to fly?"

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn beams, reaching for her icecream. "Yay! You made it out alive!" she giggles, taking a lick, and breathes a relived sigh, "Mmmmm this is soooooo good! Especially in this terrible heat!" glancing up at the sunny sky, she cant help but want to stretch her wings a bit and nods. "A nice relaxing flight would be pleasant, although I hope you dont mind staying at my slow speed?"

Superboy has posed:
"I like sunlight," comments Conner, grinning again. "And I can do slow for a good cause," beats, "you are not slow, I just wanted to catch you very badly," he adds, winking an eye. He tries his cone. And yes, it is pretty good, even for New York. He is also checking if Megan is blushing. He likes to watch that.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn blushes and giggles a bit, playfully elbowing him and nearly spilling over her icecream while she's at it. "Meep! You are sooo mean! But, you know, not everyone finds a speeding car slow..Just people who can outrun planes! Buut, not sure if I can eat ice cream and fly at the same time.." she grins, "Y'know, fly too fast and the ice cream falls back in your face!" clearly that's happened to her before. Many times.

Superboy has posed:
"Careful with it, baby," comments Conner. He doesn't have ice-cream speed troubles. Tactile telekinesis wins again. "How am I mean? I got you the ice-cream and you didn't have to sweat inside the shop, hmm? I deserve a reward. Maybe a kiss, even. Want to come my place to watch a movie later?"

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn giggles and shakes her head, scooping some ice cream and placing it on his nose. "I'm just kidding!" she winks, leaning forward to lick it off. Slowly.. "Mmmmm, you taste good.." she murmurs, her wings instinctively fluttering more quickly as she starts to hover a few feet off the ground now.

"Ooh, movie sounds fun! We can fly that way then..But first, I have to show you this really awesome park with a view!" she grins and winks.

Superboy has posed:
He tastes... oh, unintentional innuendo from the not-so-innocent Pixie? He smirks. "Lets go," Conner hovers up, flying at walking pace to keep Megan's ice cone safe. "Yeah, I don't want to go to the theater, and they just installed the AC in my apartment. Just for you, girl. Heat doesn't bother me."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn grins and winks at him as she hovers at a casual pace, slowly licking her ice cream. "Just for me huh? Awwe, that's soo sweet of you!" she giggles. "Sounds nice and cool! Tho must be nice not to be bothered by the heat. I sometimes wonder what it's like for people who are affected by my faerie dust? Like, hearing, seeing, feeling things you know?"

Superboy has posed:
"Maybe try LSD?" Offers Conner. No. Bad idea. Megan. Don't.

"Well, it is normal for me, like flying is normal for you," he points down. "Most people down there can't fly. They miss something, but it is not a major problem to be happy, y'know? Besides, I am sure Stark will get cheap jetpacks built next year of the next."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn smirks, "Oh, dont you know I've been curious? Only thing is, drugs dont affect me as easily as normal people. It's a little scary really, because when I get hurt and I need medicine, I can get really sick. Had a really bad flu once and I took forever to get over it..I thought I was gonna die."

She shrugs, not looking too scared about it, and continues to munch thoughtfully on her icecream. "That's too bad, I can't imagine what it'd be like not to be able to fly.."

Superboy has posed:
"I thought mutants were immune to most human diseases," comments Conner. He read it somewhere. Although the common cold was not one of those. "Well, definitely different medicines. I hope your school has the skills to handle cases of advanced biology. They should." Beat, "and jet packs for everyone."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn hmms, "Dunno actually. I should look up on that. I know we can get sick and there are unique diseases that only mutants can get. Dont forget I'm also part fairy too!" she winks and a sudden breeze catchse her off-guard, nearly blowing her melty ice cream in her face. "woah!"

She flusters in the air a bit before regaining her bearing. "Yeah, I guess..Err...Wait.." she blinks, looking all flustered all of a sudden, "I mean..why would they? they're just a school. I suppose maybe there are some smart people who might know how to deal with mutants there?" oh yeah, she's getting all nervous as if she's trying to hide something.

Superboy has posed:
Conner smirks and reminds Megan: "You told me it was a magical school," among a few other contradictory and amusing lies. "And I am pretty sure I recognized a X-Men or two and an Avenger among your teachers."

Which doesn't mean it could not be a magical school. But superhero school sounds more likely. Maybe mutant superhero school. Well, that is Conner's current theory.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn blinks at that and starts laughing nervously, "Oh! Oh I did, didn't I? Hahaha...I mean..Well, I suppose so, and yeah, Dr Strange teaches magic and stuff but it's really more like theory.."

And of course there are so many holes in her explanation that it wouldn't be hard for Conner to put two and two together..Maybe. She's not exactly elaborating beyond that though. "But anyway! Yes..I suppose they have some medicines, but still...Drugs just dont like my system, I usually have to rely on healers, but usually I'm fast enough that I avoid getting hurt. Too much."

Superboy has posed:
Conner is actually not that interested in knowing the truth. Secrets are secrets. But it always fun to see Megan blundering for an explanation that makes sense and does not contradict what she told him last week.

"Oh, magical healing, good stuff I guess," he comments half-heartedly. "So, no painkillers, uh? But many medicines are not drugs."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn shrugs, "Dunno, guess I haven't experimented enough with all of them. Some stuff works some stuff doesnt'." she smiles, "You know, that's something I should really experiment with more...I mean, how dangerous can it be..? Just once I'd like to know what it feels like to have hallucinations and stuff, y'know?" she grins. "I guess magic just makes more sense to me, except I have a kinda..Allergy towards metal too, specifically anything with iron in it..It's a pain.."

Superboy has posed:
"I tried all kinds of drugs the last few years," in college, of course. "None did anything. At least not the normal doses. I can't get drunk either," comments Conner. "At least not with a few drinks. Maybe I should try to drink three vodka bottles in a stand, and see what happens."

Yes, this is going to be a great idea. Pixie high on LSD and Superboy drunk. At the same time.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn oohs, "Oh right, I mean, you're basically an alien right? Well clone of an alien or something, right? Only...That kinda sucks that you can't get drunk. I can just about get drunk. And some anasthetics work on me, like the really strong ones." she shrugs, "Soo it's not all that bad. Kinda sucks when you cant feel anything though."

Superboy has posed:
"I am part Kryptonian, you silly," they have talked about this a few times. Megan keeps forgetting, it is funny. "I am not sure if I am missing much. But damn, I am curious," everyone is curious about what they can't have, it seems.

No, drugs, anesthetics or even sleep pills do not work on him. This has been a problem the few times he has been injured. On the other hand he has not ever been sick.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn smirks, "I know, I know.." she shrugs. She's still not used to dating a kryptonian clone whose near impervious to everything. "Hmmm well I dunno, I've never been affected by hallucinogenics either..I've been curious about the effects of my own dust too. But I wonder if Morgana has stuff that can work the same way? Magic is weird that way." she smiles, this is probably a dangerous thought, experimenting with magical drugs but.."You remember Morgana right?" she thinks they only met once or twice before.

Superboy has posed:
Conner nods. "She seems interesting," he comments wardedly. "And she seemed to like you quite a bit," within the otherwise 'mean witch' vibes he was getting from Morgana. But Conner is mostly okay with Megan having a 'fairy godmother' that happens to be one of the meanest, baddest sorceress of history. Mutants need all help they can get.

"Where is that park you wanted to show me," he asks suddenly, since they have been flying for a while.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn nods brightly, apparently quite trusting g of Morgana, "Yeah, she's really cool. After Strange took off to wherever, she promised that she'd teach me new stuff and I could be her apprentice! Isn't that cool? Someday I'll get to learn really powerful magic too! Maybe someday you can come visit Avalon too, she has a huge castle and rules her own kingdom, isn't that amazing?"

Ah right, that park. She had finished her ice cream by now and quickens her pace as they fly over a large pond in the centre of a park. Probably the only green space in this dingy town. "Down there, the water is really nice and refreshing, and there are some nice woods and walking trails." but in this heat she's really eyeing the cool refreshing water.

Superboy has posed:
"I guess so, castles are cool," admits Conner with a grin. Then speeds up to catch up with Megan. He eyes the pond with suspicion. Ponds in the middle of cities tend to be pretty dirty. But this is Mutant Town, and they have all kinds of oddities thanks to friendly neighbors' superpowers.

"You come here to swim? Uh huh," because being a teleporter she has the best beaches of the world within reach, seriously! "Remind me to take you to Hawaii soon."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn smiles as she eyes the pond, "Oh, it's a man-made pond, so it's a bit cleaner, or at least they try..You wanna take a dip?" of course she didn't think to bring swimming clothes, "Hmmm, or we could just wade in the shallower parts." she blinks, "Ooh, I'd love to go to Hawaii with you sometime, that'd be really cool!" although that's a good point. "Well, I haven't really explored other beaches around the world, you know, teleporting to a place you've never been is potentially dangerous. I can always end up in an unexpected place.."

Superboy has posed:
"Are you going to?" Because Conner is not worried about Megan lack of swimwear. As far as he knows she can teleport out and teleport in wearing a swimsuit in a minute. "I think I'll pass, but I will be here watching in the case someone comes to, uh, bother you, I guess." He looks around. If people come here to swim, he is surprised there are not a bunch of kids already in the water. Maybe they got lucky.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn probably could just port home, grab a suit and port back and she grins, "Yea, think I will! it's way too hot out there! be right back!" and she vanishes for a few minutes, reappearing in her swimsuit, carrying her dress in a duffle bag over her shoulder. "You know I could always port to your place and grab your swim trunks too, right? Assuming she'd know where to look." otherwise she steps to the waters edge, kicking off her sandals and dipping her foot in, "Ahh, it's sooo cool!"

Superboy has posed:
Conner shakes his head. "Lets go to a real beach tomorrow, hmm?" He offers. By the time Megan returns he is lazily sprawled on the grass. Most people would have done it on the shade, but of course Conner picked the sunniest place at the side of the pond. "I can't believe no one else is here right now? Is that some kind of magic trick?"

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn shrugs, glancing around. They're not totally alone, there are a few people here and there, but.."Dunno, heard there was a storm expected in a few hours? Plus this isn't a particularly safe neighborhood. When people come to swim, they don't stay long. Not like I can complain, it's like I have this pond nearly entirely to myself!" she smiles as she splashes around, diving in a vanishing for a few moments before reappearing again. "Soo, real beach tomorrow huh? Like Hawaii?"

Superboy has posed:
"If you want," replies Conner, glancing at Megan. "It would take us a couple hours to get there, though. I can fly very quickly and protect you with a telekinetic shield. But it is not a short trip anyway. Not that I mind to carry you at all," he grins wickedly. "And once I have shown you a couple good beaches, we can visit any time, right?"

Definitely he likes the plan.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn oohs, "That might be fun, probably safer than me Porto g is there..Though if I studied a map and plotted out a specific spot to port to, I might be able to do it." she shrugs, playfully splashing water at him, "But hey, I'd like to see what it's like to fly super fast too!" she nods, "Yeah, once I've been there I can go back pretty easily at any time."

Superboy has posed:
"Fast flying is not very fun, but I guess we can come up with something to make it more entertaining," comments Conner. He acks when Megan splashes water at him, giving her a mock-glare. "It can be cold at times, like when we fly over the Rockies. So you will need a jacket or coat. We'll see."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn giggles, "Really, the more you talk about it, the more I wanna go..It'll be like a road trip and we can stop off at places on the way, right?" she bites her lip as she thinks that over. "Although...If I gotta bring a winter coat and summer wear for later, that'd be a lot of luggage to fly around with. Maybe I should just study the maps and routes, heck even checking it out on google maps might help my navigation. And I could always port as far as I feel comfortable then you could fly us the rest of the way?"

Superboy has posed:
"You don't have to take the summer wear, since you can port back to New York from Hawaii," explains Conner. "Unless it is too far?" He is not sure if Megan has a range limit, truth to be told. "But sure, we can make a couple stops if you want to see anything along the way. But if we stop too many times, we won't have time to do anything in Hawaii."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn nods, "Right! That makes sense. Just..I dint wanna port around too many times, it can get exhausting after a while. But that sounds fun..And doable! Totally count me in!" she giggles as she continues to splash around and dives back in and out of the water, but honestly, it's more fun with so one else there with her. "Phew, that feels sooo much better, but I feel bad that you're sitting on the sidelines. Wanna go somewhere quieter? Say..Back to your place?" she'd offer her own but. Rules.

Superboy has posed:
"That was the plan, going to my place to watch a movie, hmm?" Conner stands up, and offers his hand to Megan. "Is the water okay on your wings? I mean, what happens if the pixie dust gets washed away?"

He noticed she went only knee deep this time. He half-expected she would go swimming.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn had darted deeper into the water once or twice but mostly hovered near the shallower area, all the better to talk to him. She laughs reaching out to take his hand as she steps out of the water and shakes it off. Her wings glisten brilliantly in the sunlight. "Nah, even if it washes off, I seem to be able to pricy enough more at these glands at the base if my wings. The nice thing is, these wi go dry faster than feather wings too." she smiles, "So the, shall we fly or port to your place?"

Superboy has posed:
Conner runs a finger over the edge of the wings, playfully and shrugs at the question. "If you want to fly a few more minutes. Although... it would be best if no one sees us flying through the window. I am trying to keep a semi-secret identity and there is too much light right now." Coming and going using the windows is better done at night.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn nods, "Right, I guess that makes sense..Although I'm pretty wet now. Hope I can borrow a towel to dry off?" again she could always port back home but again Megan's not too keen on porting too much all over the place for such minor things. "If that's alright, then I'm ready to pier whenever you are!"

Superboy has posed:
"Towel, sure," replies Conner, stepping closer to Megan, hands on her hip. "I can help you dry off," he adds with a wink. Not that he minds if she leaves wet footprints on his floor. He mostly has cheap IKEA furniture. "Beam me up, baby."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn giggles and nods, "Okay then, here we go! Sihal Novarum Chinoth!" she yells and they're instantly surrounded by a column of pink energy, reappearing a moment later in Conner's living room. She would have preferred the balcony but.."Oh I'm sorry! I'm dropping all over your carpet.." he may not mind but she still doesn't want to damage his carpet.

Superboy has posed:
"That is fine, it is not an oriental rug or anything," replies Conner, giving Megs a peck on her lips and hurrying to the bathroom for a clean towel. "There you go," he already has the laptop connected to a large TV screen (new) in front of a loveseat (also new). He has rearranged the apartment distribution a bit. Used to be mostly to sleep, but now he hopes it will also be a place Megan and he can hang out.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn smiles, wrapping the towel around herself, doing her best to wring it the moisture from her hair as well as she settles on the sofa next to him. A nice flight would have helped dry off faster but she doesn't want to jeopardize his identity either. "Soo what movie do you wanna watch?"
