Synopsis: Summary needed
Cast of Characters: Captain America, Slipstream, Green Lantern (Cruz), Sister Reinhardt




Captain America has posed:
Captain America has done more of these than he cares to count as he stands in front of the ribbon cutting for Elmer's Meat Market. There are literally so many demands for this kind of thing that its a bit of a lottery, and if he were smarter he would have them throw out the more pedestrian businesses for things like Orphanages and the like, but Cap knows just how much of an economic boost it can be to small Mom and Pop stores. So while no one who doesn't need it is in there; and he eschews most favor trading, there are still ribbons to be cut just like there were bonds to be sold or Nazis to be fought. He cuts the ribbon, he smiles, and now he is shaking hands. Lots of them.

Slipstream has posed:
Having come as Cap's 'backup', the tiny young semi mascot like Avenger that is Drake is currently kicking it against the wall nearby, watching Steve soak up the attention from the crowd. No one even knows he's here, even though he's a world famous eSport celebrity. Unless you watch gaming streams, he's just another face in the crowd. With a yawn, he glances down at his phone to poke at an app, watching the time, then looking back to the Captain. He wonders if the Avengers can get a discount on meat because of this. Hmm.

Green Lantern (Cruz) has posed:
Jessica Cruz is there with her boyfriend Drake. She's not in costume, just looking like a normal woman wearing a gray sundress. "Hey - stop it," she mutters, nudging Drake with an elbow. Nothing that shows that she's anything special - unless one is a connoisseur of alien jewelry (specifically, a green ring on her finger which is doing its best to be unnoticable).

Sister Reinhardt has posed:
    There in the crowd herself was Suzanne Reinhardt. Or, at least, she's just walking in. Nothing flashy, nothing gigantic. She was kind of awed though....Captain America was here. "huh. Never thought I'd actually see this guy in the flesh." She says as she tugs out her phone. This was another one that was going in her favorites list.

Captain America has posed:
Captain America is randomly shaking hands. He keeps a genuine smile, since he understands this is not about him. There are a lot of pictures. He moves through the crowd and isn't afraid of the numbers either. As he does, he notices that Drake is leaning against the wall and moves towards him. Its the small things he doesn't forget really, simply being who he is. As he does, he moves right toward Suzanne and beams, "Good evening." He shakes her hand unless refused.

Slipstream has posed:
"Oof. Stop what? The yawning?" Drake asks as he gives a glance to Jessica with an amused grin. "Or poking at this game that I just broke the world high score on?" He asks as he tucks his phone into his pocket. "Too easy." He says, making the S a Z. "Being assigned to Cap on these types of things are pretty chill. No one ever tries anything with him around."

Green Lantern (Cruz) has posed:
Jessica Cruz murmurs, "He's a national hero. Show some respect." She smiles faintly. "Perhaps I should ask for his autograph," she mutters, slipping a picture of him out of her purse. (As if she was prepared for it or something.) "Wish I would've come in my work clothes." She waits her turn to shake Captain's hand.

Sister Reinhardt has posed:
    Suzanne grins at Cap and shakes his hand. "Do you mind if I take a selfie?" She says raising her phone....but gives enough time for refusal.....

Captain America has posed:
Captain America beams, "Not at all." Someone had to tell him what a selfie was, and he finds the selfie sticks rediculous but as it is, he is more than willing to make someone's day. "Please do." He poses and allows her to take the picture. "What is your name?" He asks good naturedly. As Drake leans against the wall, he notices that the young woman near him has something he definitely recognizes but is intruiged by. You spend enough time with the Justice League you notice certain things, but not wanting to be rude, and yet wanting to investigate this at the same time he smiles to Suzanne, "Let me introduce you to Drake."

Slipstream has posed:
"Are you serious? You're gonna fanboy over my teammate?" Drake asks with a laugh to Jessica as he raises his brow upwards, then leans back against the wall, putting a foot behind him for balance. He chuckles as he watches the Cap deal with the public. It's always an amusing sight to see. "And I see the guy every day. He sorta likes it when people treat him like a normal guy. Sides, I'm here on the clock to make sure there's no trouble. I have to look incognito or something. He's coming over, so here's your chance, but if you throw your bra at him I'm dumping you." He jokes.

Green Lantern (Cruz) has posed:
Jessica Cruz mutters, "If it's a construct bra, does that count?" she murmurs. She smiles... then blinks as Captain glances down at her hand and the look of recognition. "I'm not that kind of girl, Drake. And.. he's one of the most famous heroes of this world. Can't help but idolize him a bit." She smiles faintly. "Hello. I'm Jessica Cruz. You know my boyfriend Drake Winters?" She ponders. "I heard he's been working with you of late."

Sister Reinhardt has posed:
    The phone clicks and she shows Cap the picture on the phone afterwards. "Thank you, Captain." She says before walking over with Captain America to Drake and Jessica cruz. on the way, she does put her phone away......

Captain America has posed:
Captain America beams, "Please to meet you Jessica. This is Suzanne, a fan I just met who took a selfie. Drake has done some good work with us in the past." He salutes to Drake. "All quiet on the," he looks around to see which way the wall is facing, "Southern front?" He beams and waves to a few people who pass him later. He tries not to think about the amount he has eaten in the last hour. Syrum or not, his body still has limits.

Slipstream has posed:
Staring upwards for a moment, Drake lets out a slow sigh. "Yeah, all quiet as usual. Which is awesome, because I really like this hoodie I got on and I'd hate to get it jacked up." He looks to Suzanne for a moment and nods. "So, yeah, this is Jess." He gives a motion of his hand towards her. "She's fanboying."

Green Lantern (Cruz) has posed:
Jessica Cruz states, "FanGIRLing," she states, poking Drake again. Then, suddenly, her attention was drawn completely away by something. Her ring was glowing faintly. "Anillo!" she hisses quietly, almost subvocally. "Not now! Time and place!" "Sorry, J-Bird. I am detecting blue emotional energy. Right here, right now. It's very... energizing." She just stares at her hand. "The light of hope? But..." She glances at Suzanne, eyebrow raised - the other woman who just approached her a moment ago. She then gestures with her left hand toward Suzanne, moving to put her ring-bearing hand on Suzanne's shoulder, to see if it's a better reaction...

Sister Reinhardt has posed:
    Suzanne walks on over with Cap and smiles towards Drake. But then....she feels something. It actually felt somewhat familiar, and she looks over towards Jessica. She then chuckles as Jessica moves to put her hand on her shoulder. "You're not the only one who can detect emotion energy." And she winks to Jessica....then holds out her left hand.....her ring bearing hand. "I only ask that you keep it secret. okay?"

Captain America has posed:
Captain America looks closely at Jessica talking, and briefly does a 360 degree survey of the area. He is pretty situationally aware at the best of times but as it is, he wants to be sure. Relaxing a bit he now looks at Suzanne and can't help but grin. From Meat Shop to Talking Shop, that is his life. He also immediately is intruiged by the band, being Blue but doesn't know for sure how to ask what he suspects, so simply lets them all talk.

Slipstream has posed:
"... yeah, you two have fun whipping out your preciouses." Drake says in Lord of the Ring reference as his twitchy hands slip back inot his pockets to wrap about his phone in one, and his keys in the other. "So, Cap. How much longer we got to hang out near the meat market?"

Green Lantern (Cruz) has posed:
Jessica Cruz just murmurs, "Very funny. Anillo, please stop the lightshow." It makes a 'hmmmmph' noise but calms down. "Everything is fine, Captain. Just... an unexpected but pleasant circumstance. The lights of willpower and hope are close allies." She smiles, turning her attention to Suzanne. "I'm Jessica, and I'd love to make your acquaintance..." She then murmurs, "And I am not one to tell the secrets of others."

Sister Reinhardt has posed:
    "He may not be able to, Jessica." Suzanne says and smiles. "I know. I've been to Oa myself.....and Met Kilowogg and many of the other lanterns. I do happen to know that we're fairly close allies" She then looks to Cap and smiles. "no danger here, Cap....but you and I do have a bit in common as well. It's....sort of why I wanted to take a selfie. You are, among a select few, one of the few heroes that bring hope to others that don't have the means to defend themselves." She then brings out her phone and shows the selfies she's taken....and there are....very few in there. Hal Jordan in his green lantern uniform, Another with Oa in the background and lots of green lanterns, Superman, Wonder Woman......

Captain America has posed:
Captain America looks at Drake and is about to say "Let's blow this Popsicle Stand" but there are a few people who might hear him and take offense to it and he has a Popsicle Stand ribbon cutting on Thursday. "We can go now actually." He is pensive about something but then blinks and beams at Suzanne, "I don't know how much hope I do offer but its good to hear that an expert on the subject thinks I do. Thank you."

Slipstream has posed:
"You guys can do your thing. I'm sorta raging for a hot dog right now, like.. a vendor style." Drake says with a grin, then leans in and pecks Jessica on the cheek. "I'll snag you one too if you want, just text me." With that, he salutes across his brow to Cap, then gives a smile to Suzanne before he simply blinks out of existance with a blue blur.

Green Lantern (Cruz) has posed:
Jessica Cruz smiles. "Sorry Drake..." she mutters, as she sends him a text message regarding meeting up later. She glances at Captain. "Maybe we can meet again sometime - when I'm in my work clothes." She nods as she waits to see what SUzanne wants to do.

Sister Reinhardt has posed:
    "Just don't sacrifice your life. there's always an alternative." Suzanne then looks to Jessica. "I'm sure Cap has more to do, but....if you'd like to get a bite to eat, I know of a good pizza place nearby." She then looks to Cap. "Unless ou'd like to come to, Mister Rogers." And she chuckles at the pun.

Captain America has posed:
Captain America grins, "I have eaten more in the last hour than I truly care to, and meeting both of you in a 'work' capacity would be truly interesting....but," he considers, "I could use something to drink. It was..." he considers, the polite thing to say, "salty. Water and a lot of it would be good. I can't stay long but would be happy to accompany you, though I will need to change into something more....civilian lest we get mobbed.

Green Lantern (Cruz) has posed:
Jessica Cruz nods. "How about that pizza place a few blocks away? You go change and we'll meet there. Mario's I think it's called." She smiles faintly. "It'd be nice to meet you as full civilian. After all... I've been writing about heroes for years, starting with the Fantastic Four."

Sister Reinhardt has posed:
    "I wouldn't mind you changing. I imagine you must have lots of uniforms like that." Suzanne then looks to Jessica. "What sort of pizza do you like anyways?" She says as a conversation starter, then smiles. "Yeah.....I've met the FF as well. Mostly Susan Richards. She's a wonderful lady." She then smiles. "You've been writing and I've taken selfies. Art and art....well...if you call taking selfies art."
