Hyperion has posed:
So, after their meeting in the sky, when Hyperion met with Power Girl again on their respective patrols, he had asked her out to lunch with him and for some uknown, ungodly reason...she said yes!

Though whether or not this is actually a date or just an excuse to get food or just a friendly meet n' greet will remain to be seen! But Hyperion isn't treating it like some weird situation. He's in his civilian persona of Marcus Milton. His truck is parked outside and he wears a flannel shirt with a baseball cap and some blue jeans, some farmer boots on his feet. He has a decent-looking watch on his left wrist, but he still looks like an absolute beast, but good thing he wears clothes XXL to try and hide the muscle and look more normal.

He waits patiently for Karen's arrival, already ordering himself just a water and some lemonade.

The venue? A nice Chinese Restaurant.

Power Girl has posed:
If nothing else, free food, right? Karen had come along. After all, if there were other near-Kryptonian types flying around out there? Best thing to do would to be knowing what they're all about. Wearing her own rather plain 'civies', a blue strapped top and a pair of black jeans with a jacket, she looked like any other woman out there.

Alright, so any other blonde woman with her stature and figure, but at least she didn't immediately look like Power Girl to everyone...right?

Hyperion has posed:
Marcus sees Karen and he gives her a little wave to invite her over to the booth he managed to pick out. Menus were set out and everything. He even says 'hey' when she's there. There was no chair to pull out for her, so he doesn't stand up to do so, but he does have a kind smile for the Kryptonian.

Heh, an Eternal and a Kryptonian walk into a Chinese Restaurant.

Sounds like the start to a really bad joke.

Power Girl has posed:
"Hey," she returns the greeting, one last glance around given before she takes her own seat at the booth and folds her hands. Chinese food was certainly a good enough choice, potential jokes be damned! There's pause enough as Karen seems to glance around for potential eavesdroppers before she speaks again. "So, better option than trying to talk several thousand feet up above the city, huh?"

Hyperion has posed:
"You look nice today. How are you?" Marcus compliments, which is probably what Karen gets all the time, but at least Marcus is doing it innocently. He does seem to notice her looking around, and his super hearing isn't picking up even any gossiping to these two supermodel-esque individuals having a casual lunch, though the waiter is letting them talk a bit before he approaches, just in case.

"Way better, in my mind. At least in this way, we can eat." he winks at her playfully. "How was patrol?"

Power Girl has posed:
Leaning forwards, the woman lazily rests her elbows against the counter before signaling for the waiter to draw nearer. "Green tea if you've got it?" she requests of the server before her attention shifts back towards Hyperion once the server pulls away. "Well enough. When the most you've got to deal with is the occasional mugger and a car thief, it's a calm night."

Hyperion has posed:
Marcus smirks a little bit, not minding that she leans forward. Its been a day, after all. Even if technically they don't need to sleep, its totally fine to just let out a breath and headdesk (or in this case, rest your elbows on the table and go from there). "Its largely been the same with me. Though I stopped a bank robbery down in Jersey in short order." He then shuts up while the waitress is there, and after she gets the drink for Power Girl, she asks for the meal orders.

"Oh, I'll take the shrimp lo mein with an order of crab rangoon." he decides. then he looks to Karen. "and whatever the lady would like."

Power Girl has posed:
"Satay chicken and noodles please," Karen orders, giving a little sheepish shrug at her order. Sure it was far more Americanized than true chinese food, but that didn't mean it wasn't delicious! "A robbery?" she repeats after the serving staff depart, tilting her head to the side and then giving a little laugh. "I'm assuming you're resistant to bullets too, huh?"

A pause, she shrugs her shoulders. "I suppose they have to try, right?"

Hyperion has posed:
He does shrug a little bit. "They don't work on me, no." at least Marcus was honest about it. Even fifty calibur bullets just make him feel like how a person would if they got hit by a tennis ball at high speeds. But he smirks at her. "They don't have heavy weapons usually. The only times when I have trouble is if I'm facing down someone like Professor Zoom or Juggernaut." he sighs a bit.

But he smiles at her. "I just like that good won the day today though. I'm the type to believe that anything can happen."

Power Girl has posed:
"Juggernaut?" she shakes her head with a little laugh. "Yeah he and I had a disagreement about him running off with a bank's vault over one shoulder. He came up second best and the money got back to the right people..." A pause, she stifles a laugh. "It's actually harder than people think. Hitting someone like that hard enough to hurt, but not injure them permanently or cause a shockwave that would hurt bystanders who run out to try and get a video on their phone."

Hyperion has posed:
"Oh really? I hope you gave him a good beating." Marcus says with a little bit of a smile, and its just after that their meal arrives. "Thank you." Marcus says to the waiter, and even gives them a tip for their hard work. Then Marcus returns his attention to Karen.

"I just find it difficult. We always have to hold back, because if we cut loose even a little bit, the consequences are...too much." he takes a breath. "To me its just finally nice to meet someone who understands. Ya know?"

Power Girl has posed:
Chop sticks seized, Karen digs into her food while Marcus talks. Even so, his words to earn an 'Mmmmh' of acknowledgement before she finishes her mouthful. "It's not the easiest thing, when so few threats occur away from people. They're always in the city, never somewhere in a field or desert or space or something like that..."

His second comment, that earns a smile and a soft laugh. "There's a couple of us around."

Hyperion has posed:
Hyperion shrugs. "Well, nice to meet someone in person, I mean. Its kinda different when your all alone with no friends on the same kind of weight class as you." Marcus smiles, slurping up some noodles in polite fashion as he looks at her. "So, tell me more about yourself? I've met Power Girl. But what about Karen?"

He seemed intrigued by her as a person, and wanted to know who she was.

Power Girl has posed:
"You have no idea..." she muses lightly before giving a little laugh. "Karen...well, how much do you know about Starr technologies?" she questions lightly. It's a good enough question they should start with. After all, she doesn't really want to begin with her 'bragging'. There was a reason she kept things 'low key' in public.

Hyperion has posed:
Marcus shrugs a little bit. "Technological giant and scientific trailblazer, if memory serves. I don't do much business with them personally, since i live a pretty simple life." He then leans on his arms a little bit, wondering what she has to reveal or what she is willing to brag about.
