Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie has thought about doing a night out with the family. Somewhere a bit different than the normal, and Harry has great roast beef on Mondays. So, he called Jay to set up the meeting, and asked Alexis if she was up for a double day with Jay and Andrea. Sam would make sure he and Alexis for there first to get a table for them, and have a little time to compare how their days have been,

Prismatic has posed:
    Alexis comes in, looking a little roughed up, the colorful side-effect of her under-skin-armor being the radiant colors her bruising gets, shimmering a bit in the light as she flops down bonelessly next to Sam, giving a soft huff of breath.

    "Remind me why I want to join your club again?" she questions to Sam warily, though she does brace her legs, drawing up to brush a kiss to Sam's cheek.

Rage has posed:
Heading into Harry's after parking the car in the back where it can't get dinged is Andrea and Jay. The two alumni are holding hands with the popstarlet leaning into his arm. She gives a bright smile at the sight of Alexis and Sam, lifting her free hand up to wave towards them. Today she is dressed in a pair of skin tight skinny jeans with a few shreds along the knees and thigh, as well as a sleeveless tanktop with a black and pink sportsbra beneath it. It's the beginning of Fall but she refuses to let Summer go.

"Hey guys! Thanks for inviting us out. How are you two doing?" She asks as her eyes roam over Alexis critically for a moment to inspect her bruises. Her brow furrows as she sits down with a heavy thump in her seat, reaching over to pluck a menu. "What happened to you, Lex?"

Icarus has posed:
For his part, Jay is a bit more ready for the weather. Baggy jeans, tshirt underneath with a gray hoodie thrown over it all. No sign of his wings thanks to the choice of apparel, along with an image inducer in case he wants to take off the jacket later. His smile matches that of his lady, bright and open as he spies the duo waiting for them.

He pulls out the chair for Andrea, as his Ma taught him to do, before taking his own seat. "Hey, y'all." At Andrea's question, he looks more closely at Alexis and spies the reason for the inquiry.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie turns and kisses Alexis back, and puts an arm around her "Well Ah think it is to keep Warrior in kitty treats and catnip, Ah know he is a real task master." He jokes, but does seem protective of her. "Maybe cause you care about the kids, and helping people is a side reason." He looks over and waves his free hand to motion the other two over "You dress like that back home and ma will have you a sweater knitted in a day to make sure your not cold."

Prismatic has posed:
    "Ah, have a few bumps and bruises from interrupting a firefight, nothing major or unusual." Alexis replies to Andrea as she pulls up the menu on the table. "Mmm... do I want the fish and chips like a proper Brit, or do I want just a hamburger for protein?" and she smiles. "And yes, The Warrior Joe is a cruel taskmaster, always wanting attention at the most opportune times." she bemoans. She is dressed seasoably, and even has a scarf on, with little bats on it.

Rage has posed:
Frowning at the news of a firefight, Andrea looks over the menu in her hands for a moment before she puts it to the side. "Nothing major? I saw the news. Wasn't there like .. a bunch of mutants attacking a .. uh.. an apartment or something? What was even going on with that?"

Once Jay is settled, she leans into him, propping her head up on his shoulder as she slinks her arms around his again, tracing her fingers along the curve of muscle upon his bicep. "Oh! We were also thinking of a trip back home to Kentucky to do some camping and to hang out with your family. I really want to poke around your old stomping grounds. You two in?"

Icarus has posed:
"Always up for camping. Let you see the other side of the coin. You've been in penthouses for too long," Jay teases Andrea, giving her hand a little squeeze since he knows there is far more to her than just the pop star side. "And none of that weird Glamping stuff. Glamorous camping. We do it, we rough it."

He didn't look at the menu, already knowing he's going for the cheeseburger. Greasy, bad for the cholesterol but hey, tasted oh so good. "Oh that one, I remember seeing it on the news feed. What's the story?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will order some roast beef more a plate dinner type thing with an ice tea." He rubs Alexis's back letting her answer about the fight, but does say "Have to see if we can make it but if Alexis is up for it, and we can g et time away sure." He grins and says "We might have to do a few nights with some of the littles before we go out a bit farther.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Anti-metahumans holed up in an apartment, anti-anti-metahumans attempted to set the building on fire without descrimination for innocents inside, and posed to fight off responders. Iron Man was there, it was bizzare." she states, waving her hand as if it weren't anything terribly important, and then she raisies her sleeve. "However, last night I was also in a firefight, two warring gangs in an apartment building."
    She purses her lips, and gives a shrug. "I'm not afraid of roughing it. ONly difference is I'm roughing it in the backwoods has different bugs than roughing it in the city." Alexis gives a wry grin.

Rage has posed:
"Oh, please. You know when it comes down to it, we always do it rough." Andrea says as she leans over to brush her lips against Jay's ear, followed by a 'ruff' to him before she gives him a sly look on her face. She gives his arm another firm squeeze. Buff Rooster. "I was in the girlscouts and went camping at least .. twice .. but I don't know how to pitch a tent and I'm totally bringing a charger for my phone."

There is a wolfish smirk upon her face, but it fades away as Alexis tells her story. "So, you're getting into all types of trouble, huh? When are you gonna don the spandex and a red X on your belt?" She says as her eyes roll upwards and to the side. "Do I need to start body guarding you so you have some backup when you leave for a Mickey D's run?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over to Alexis and seems proud of her. He says "Sounds like I need to be out going about with you more than work. " He says of the action "Oh Andrea, got a new student you might want to come meet sometime. You think Tabitha would get a kick out of meeting Andrea hon?"

Prismatic has posed:
    "One, McDonalds doesn't even qualify as food with the exception, possibly, of their hash browns." Alexis points out, leaning over and narrowing her eyes at Andrea, though she has a smile on her face. "And two, really more of the leathers type of superhero, not Spandex. I'd like to keep up the illusion that I'm not really bullet proof." Alexis states, ordering a burger, and very nearly orders a beer -- but flatly orders a coke. She gives a slight huff, and thrns to Sam. "... if I wasn't with students at that moment, I wouldn't have done much else. I instructed them to evacuated."

Rage has posed:
"First of all, Mickey D chicken honey McGriddles are insane. You are missing out if you haven't gone into a coma by eating at least three in a row." Andrea says with a laugh. "And two, spandex is far more flexible for roof jumping than leather and it doesn't weigh you down in the rain. It may be more stylish, but it has more advantages than not. That and you got an ass that really pops." She points out, poking a straw in her direction before she plunks it into her soda for a sip.

"So, surprise time. Jay and I have our first single coming out in three weeks. It's going through a final mix but I am introducing my man to the world. I swear on all the Gods out there, that this song is going to be a banger. I haven't been more excited and proud of a song in my life."

Icarus has posed:
The discussion of proper attire for superheroing makes Jay smirk but he knows better than to get involved. Better to leave that to the others. At the mention of their single coming out, he has to grin, pleased that he is taking that chance finally.

But then Sam's question catches his attention. "Tabitha? She a fan I take it?"

Prismatic has posed:
    "About time." Alexis gives a coy grin to Andrea, and then looks to Sam, then to Andrea, and then to Jay.

    "Tabitha's one of the newer students, quite musically inclined. She was one of the students who had accompanied me into the city the other night -- I was covering for Moody Dean -- plays a piano bar. Got into an accident with his moped and needed a cover." she gives a smile. "Having one of the sucsesful mutants may improve the morale in the school, I think, if you were to make a visit, Andrea."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "She did not seem to know who Allison was when we picked her up, figure Andrea is a bit better known to the younger students, and show her some of the success stories about graduating and having a normal life.

Rage has posed:
"Right? I had to drag him kicking and screaming into the studio, but soon as we got going in there, he was a natural. Jay was born to be a popstar." Andrea says teasingly to Jay with a sparkle in her eyes. "But seriously though, I am so excited. I have listened to it about a thousand times now and I still get goosebumps when his voice hits. I'm sure I'm about to become a jealous bitch in the future when all these girls are gonna be tearing the doors down to get at him, wings and all."

Bobbing her body a bit happily, she looks interested at the idea of going back to school. "How about tomorrow?" She asks as she gives Jay a nudge. "Let's do a little private concert for the kids, then put on a show in the Danger Room for old time sake?"

Icarus has posed:
"They already do that, hon," Jay tells Andrea with a smirk on his face. "I just manage to ditch them before they follow me home. Wings are helpful with that." He gives her a wink since he is mostly kidding. Though he does have a few fans at the club when he plays.

The suggestion of going to the school is met with a shrug. "Concert sure. I'll let you do the Danger Room and I'll sit in the control booth rooting you on."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smirks a bit listening to the two, and says "Do we get a early signed copy of the single?" He will ask them. He rubs Alexis's back, and says "You did really good out there hon." He reassures Alexis.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Pish-posh. I do what I must." she states quietly, and Alexis looks back to Andrea, and she gives a wry little smile. "Oh no, if you're going ot be there, you're going to be on the ground You two perform so well together, it would almost be a shame to not have you there, Jay. Don't you agree, Sam?"

Rage has posed:
Laughing, Andrea nods her head. "We always rocked the DR back when we were young pups, trying to grow up to be big dogs. But if Jay doesn't want to show off his strut, that's fine. We can do our duet for the kids in the music hall. It does have some of the best pitch perfect acoustics I've ever had the pleasure of playing in." She leans in and gives Jay a kiss on the cheek, followed by curling her arms about him for a hard squeeze. "Well, if you ever bring any of those girls home, make sure they're at least hot, okay? No fuglies."
