|Poses=:'''{{#var:248|Megan Gwynn (248)}} has posed:'''<br>Megan Gwynn has been spending more and more time in mutant town lately. The recent sighting of Magneto left her rather anxious, but even in spite of that, she had other reasons for making a bigger presence in town. She had invited Conner out on a date as it was another warm sunny day in the park, and they had a sale on at the ice cream parlour, her favourite place.<br><br>Of course, there's also a line up outside, so this may take a while to get in. Nit that she minds as she waits for him to join her.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:212|Conner (212)}} has posed:'''<br>Well, of course he is meeting her. The problem is he doesn't sees her enough. Which in part is due to his last year of college being busy, and the super-heroing, but also because she won't move in with him.<br><br>But he very rarely misses the chance to spend a few hours with her. And Conner arrives before Megan manages to reach the counter. "Hey, beautiful," he greets, sliding to her side for a quick hug. "How was your day?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:248|Megan Gwynn (248)}} has posed:'''<br>It doesn't take long for her to spot Conner, and she beams, reaching up to hug him tightly but careful not to lose her spot in the line. "Hii! how you been?" she never seems to get enough time with him, so she's happy and it's almost their turn for ice cream. "I missed you.." she pouts a little, clasping his hand, "How's college and other stuff?" of course he has a secret ID so Megs doesn't wanna spill the beans in public.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:212|Conner (212)}} has posed:'''<br>"It is good," replies Conner, smiling to the pink-haired girl. "I have a job interview next Wednesday. An internship, but it might be interesting. Just I can't afford the apartment in Manhattan, but I will move to the tower while I get something upstate. At less than a third for the rent, hopefully." He boops Megan's nose gently. "What about you? Did you start college?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:248|Megan Gwynn (248)}} has posed:'''<br>Megan Gwynn hmms and nods, "That's good! I mean even as an internship it'll get you good experience right?"she smiles, "Heey, your pad at the Titans Tower is pretty sweet, I hope I can come there again. At least it's a nice private place to hang out." she giggles, an impish smile on her place. "Actually I got a job at X-Corp, only part time since I'm an Xman too, but you know things are busy too. with school. Oh, we're in spring break now, although I'll probably take a few courses in the summer." she sighs, "I guess life has been hectic for the both of us huh.."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:212|Conner (212)}} has posed:'''<br>Conner hmphs. Talking about him living at the Titan's Tower while in the file for ice cream is a bit too open. He does try to keep a secret identity, after all. Maybe not that important in Mutant Town, but still... "ah, X-Corp, yeah. I saw the big building. And life is always hectic, just don't let it stop you. I need more Megan-time in my life."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:248|Megan Gwynn (248)}} has posed:'''<br>Megan Gwynn blinks and flails, "Ahhh I'm sorry, I mean..You know.lUh.." whoops! she shrugs and laughs helplessly. It's not like anyone really noticed anyway. Everyone here has some sort of power anyway. "Yea.." she sighs, stepping up to buy them some ice cream before talking again, "Well maybe we really should move in together. I was hesitant at first, but now.." she smiles, "Oh yeah, I guess my job will keep me on the look out for low level mutants needing help, but with my porting I can pretty much live anywhere. What do you/think?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:212|Conner (212)}} has posed:'''<br>What does he think? He pulls Megan into a kiss the second those words leave her lips. "Yes, and I better hurry up finding a new place. The tower room is not big enough. Although I can definitely get a larger bed."<br><br>Since she is working and going to college, Conner assumes Megan was planning to go independent anyway. No more secret school for wizard mutants or whatever it was? Good. At least good for him. "Damn, I could kiss you all day," he adds with a laugh.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:248|Megan Gwynn (248)}} has posed:'''<br>Megan Gwynn's eyes widen, tilting her head up a bit to press her eager lips against his. "Mm.." she murmurs as she leans in to him. Hopefully she doesn't squish that ice cream! "Heey, I can help,look too!" she giggles as she finally lets go, still clasping his hand with her free hand. "Well, I hope I can still learn some more spells, but between my part time job and Xmen, I'll be pretty busy so it'll be slow going.." she sighs, "But I guess I shouldn't juggle too many things at once, right?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:212|Conner (212)}} has posed:'''<br>"You have enough energy to juggle all that," points out Conner. "And maybe you won't get into so much trouble by being busy," he can only hope! "First two years at college are easy, anyway."<br><br>Since she got her ice cream, Conner pulls her away from the crowd and into the park. It is still fairly crowded, but at least most of the folks can't hear them talk about X-Men and assorted super-hero stuff.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:248|Megan Gwynn (248)}} has posed:'''<br>Megan Gwynn smiles and nods, following him to the park, stealing bites of her ice cream although she quickens her pace, laughing as she pulls him along with her at times, enjoying the gentle spring breeze and the scent of flowers in the air, "Thanks! I'm sure I can take on everything, as long as I pace myself, right? I just finished first year college, can't wait til next year, and still trying to figure out a major..But you know, I kinda like the opportunity to help out low level mutants too. I may not be the most powerful Xman Afterall, but I have other talents..Oooh so how are things going in the Titans?" at least there are fewer people out here so she doesn't have to whisper at least.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:212|Conner (212)}} has posed:'''<br>Conner nods. "I am glad you finished the first year without trouble. Well, not college trouble. New Yorkers are not very nice with mutants, most times." He sighs. "You have a lot of talent. Weren't you interested in music, too?"<br><br>As for her question, he considers a few seconds. "I think good. Supergirl is back, I heard Nightwing is too. We had a rooftop barbeque day last weekend. I am sure Robin will have something to keep us busy as a team, soon."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:248|Megan Gwynn (248)}} has posed:'''<br>Megan Gwynn hmms, "Yeah..I've had some bad experiences in New York, but I'm better prepared this time." she smiles, "Hey that's cool, do you enjoy it? Got good team mates? That's important." she blinks, "Ooo that reminds me, we're having a prom next week, dance celebration at Club Evolution. Wanna come? I'm allowed to invite guests outside of the school."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:212|Conner (212)}} has posed:'''<br>Conner nods, "I have Wonder Girl and Red Robin, I have known them for years," he states. Then arches an eyebrow. "Prom? Isn't that a year late for you? But of course I'll go with you to a party. Let me know it is."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:248|Megan Gwynn (248)}} has posed:'''<br>Megan Gwynn smiles, "Yeah, I mean, I'm no longer in highschool. But I guess it's more a homecoming celebration for graduates too. In combination with a summer formal." she giggles as she finishes off her ice cream, "Well whatever you call it, I'm allowed to invite outsiders, so I'm gonna invite you. So how about it?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:212|Conner (212)}} has posed:'''<br>"I'll go, of course," replies Conner. Not sure how that works. Prom/homecoming thing that is held in a club? Whatever works. College has also taught him people will make up reasons for parties no matter what. And that is good.<br><br>"How formal is it going to be? Do I need to find a tie somewhere?" He jokes. Actually, he has formal suits, just they see the light maybe once a year.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:248|Megan Gwynn (248)}} has posed:'''<br>Megan Gwynn ooohs, "Well you know, suits, dresses..Ties would be good. Actually I've never seen you in a tie. That would be a sight!" she giggles, "I've been looking around for a good dress too. Havent really found any that called out to me yet but, soon! Hey, this will be exciting! Dont remember the last time we went to a formal dance together."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:212|Conner (212)}} has posed:'''<br>"The closest has been your birthday parties," admits Conner, smirking. "But I do have one tie or two, somewhere. Robin has dragged me into formal things in Gotham a few times." Beat, "well, that is secret identity stuff. I hoped you would end up joining the Titans, but looks like you are up for a very busy year already."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:248|Megan Gwynn (248)}} has posed:'''<br>Megan Gwynn nods and sighs. "Yeah, me too, but..You're right, suddenly my life is super busy. But it's okay, maybe I'll be okay. I think x-Corp will help me find direction, and I'm training with some Xmen to be in par with them. I always felt like the awkward newbie so I guess it's the opposite with you and the Titans. You're a much more experienced hero than me, right? And Robin seems cool too, so is Kory. I am curious though, do the Titans train metas?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:212|Conner (212)}} has posed:'''<br>"Ah, we were really young when we started," comments Conner, looking thoughtful for a moment. "The Titans have taken underaged, completely untrained heroes at times and taught them about fighting and teamwork. But I am not sure if Supergirl and Robin will take us in that direction. You already have a couple years experience, anyway. And if you are interested I am sure Robin could still give you martial arts lessons. He trains constantly."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:248|Megan Gwynn (248)}} has posed:'''<br>Megan Gwynn hmms, thinking how similar they are to Xavier's, but they're all secretive at the school and while Conner has his suspicions, she'd rather keep quiet on the topic. "That's cool, I guess there are a lot of metas out there by accident right? And yeah, I'd like to meet Robin again, maybe learn a few tricks. It's a really nice team based, love how it's shaped like a T." she giggles, peering around, it's getting really hot now, "Soo where do you wanna go? Somewhere cooler maybe? ooh I could go for a swim."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:212|Conner (212)}} has posed:'''<br>It it true the Titans are out there in the open. Not as in the middle of the city as the Avengers or the Fantastic Four, but anyone with a motorboat can get to their island. And that has meant they can be easily attacked, but it also inspires respect and trust to many people. <br><br>But it wouldn't be a good place to make a school, for that very reason.<br><br>"How many metas?" Conner shrugs. "I don't know. I guess a few hundreds, maybe a thousand on the whole country. Not as many as mutants for sure. Titans have only a few metas, though. Many are well-trained humans, a few are aliens, or human from divergent races like Amazons, or Atlanteans, or demigods."<br><br>And now she wants to swim? Conner laughs, "well, you are the one that can port us to a beach?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:248|Megan Gwynn (248)}} has posed:'''<br>Megan Gwynn smiles and nods, wrapping her arms around him, "Sounds good, let's go!" and with that they vanish in a column of pink energy!<br> <br>
