Shannon	It had been a little while since Shannon had caught up with Megan. Sure, she might be a bit of a goof, and a motormouth, but she had a big heart and had always been kind to her. She did miss seeing one of her few real friends--especially since she'd graduated and moved on up from the New Mutants, to the A-team. The events of the past day or so had her baking extra cookies as her 'Zen' thing, and retreating to her dorm.      But cookies tasted better shared.      Dressed in her two-piece pink satin PJ's, with bare feet this time, she fires off a text to Megan. <<Cookies and chamomile if you want. My dorm. Stat.>>
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn had not seen Shannon in a while, which is a shame, as she was thinking along the same lines. Friendly to all, but not really close to anyone, except maybe Shannon..Still, things had been hectic and she didn't mind a heart to heart, now that things had settled down a bit. Sooo naturally the promise of cookies was hard to resist, and she's waiting at Shannon's door in a heartbeat, knocking eagerly on her door. "Hiiii anybody hoooome?" cuz you never know..
Shannon	"Come on in," Shannon calls out. "I just put the kettle on, and the cookies are on a tray by the fireplace." It wasn't too terribly often she had visitors, so she liked to make something of an occasion of it. "Made some more of those orange almond pillows. Seems I'm on a bit of a kick with those. First Mr. Barton, and then Cap seemed to take to them... then Mr. Worthington, and miss Munroe... these cookies are sure making the rounds!"      When she finally makes it to the door after setting everything out for tea and cookies, unless Megan steps away, she is very likely to find herself wrapped up in a great big hug, wings and all. "How the hell have you been?"
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn sighs at the mention of those names..,They're supposed to be her teammates, but of course she's not on a first name basis with any one of them..Which is pretty depressing and frustrating on sooo many levels. She laughs a bit weakly and shrugs. "Ohh...Guess you've been busy then, Yknow, baking for all of em.." With a soft sigh, she accepts the hug wordlessly before flopping down wherever she can, trying one of those cookie pillow thingies (but seriously why are they called pillows if you can't sleep on them?!) oh...You know, the usual..School, practice..Meh.." she shrugs, maybe a bit less enthusiastic than usual.
Shannon	"Well..." Shannon scratches the back of her head, and shrugs, ruffling her wings. "I got called over to the Avengers place to look in on Mr. Barton so I figured heck, hospital food everywhere sucks, bring him something decent. Figured pretty much the same with Mr. Worthington."      Soon, the kettle is whistling, and turns itself off, and Shannon pours out some hot water over chamomile tea bags, in two mugs. One of those, she brings over to Megan, peering curiously at her. "You sound a little down, Megs," she ventures, cautiously. "What's going on?"
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn arches a brow. "Ohh..Really? Huh, haven't heard from Tony or Strange in a long while...But it's good that you got to catch up on your friends." she shrugs again and smiles. "Eh, I guess just the usual growing pains, Yknow, trying to get used to working with a tight knit circle of friends who are older, more exoerience and generally more powerful/useful than me.." Megan accepts the tea with a nod, blowing on it a couple of times before slowly sipping it. "Plus I had a kinda..Awkward situation with a certain..New Mutant recently..Which I suppose was partly my fault.."
Shannon	"Whoah, wait. Lemme get this straight. What's this bullshit, you're not useful?" Shannon stops dead in her tracks as she's reaching for her own tea, her wings flaring outwards more and more, as she becomes more agitated. "FUCK... all those times we've gotten into trouble out in the field together, we've bailed each other out, and you say you're not useful? A teleporter is someone you'd -want- to have on a team. They can bail your ass out when the shit hits the fan. Remember that DR training session when we all went up against that new Sentinel variant, and I had to get Cyclops out of there? I couldn't have done that without you." Whirling about, she pokes Megan rather pointedly on her shoulder. "So don't you give me this bullshit about not being useful."      She has to step back and take a bit of a deep breath, stuffing one of the orange almond pillows in her mouth to force herself to slow down. Once that sweet treat is sent on its way to her belly, she just sighs. "I'm sorry for chewing you out. It's just so damn frustrating when I have seen you be so much more than you give yourself credit for. It's hard as hell being the junior member on a team. Hell, I get that same sense when I manage to go out and help them. They've had a shared history, shared experiences. You don't have that past with them."      She smiles a little bit. "But I remind myself of this--and maybe so could you. We don't share their past. But we DO share a present and a future."      She falls silent, lofting her brows, and sitting down in the other chair. "Would that certain New Mutant happen to have a point of origin oh, somewhere in South America? Like... Brazil, maybe?"
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn frowns, shaking her head. "I was totally useless against that horde-of robots in the latest danger room session..Its not like I don't try, but Yknow, I'm no Illyana.." she makes a face. "It's not that I don't have faith in myself, just that I know I have limits..But I'm working on trying to push those limits.lBut, it's been tricky catching Psylocke and Illy for training. They're not exactly..Social butterflies, Yknow?" She munches thoughtfully on more pillow cookie thingies, downing it down with more tea, which admittedly calms her down some. "I was really hoping to learn new spells but haven't managed to find any reliable teachers since, Yknow, Morgan le Fay.." As for that other bit of awkwardness..Megan actually blushes a bit, biting her lip. "Urm, well.." she swallows, "Sooo, I guess you heard what happened with me and Roberto in club Evo huh.." she smiles sheepishly.
Shannon	Shannon nods, and smiles a bit, rubbing the back of her head. "Yeah, I was there when Sam talked to him about it. I did offer to leave but they didn't seem to have a problem with me hearing." She draws her feet up under her on the comfy chair, leaning back and taking a sip of her tea and simply enjoying the warmth for the moment. "Awkward stuff happens. Did you at least talk it out with Conner?"
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn groans and hangs her head. "Ugghhhh...I guess so much for secrets.." she sighs, "Well, I know he seems to think it's all my fault but Yknow, I think he was a bit over the line anyway, my dust isn't a pheromone, it's more like alcohol at its mildest. But whatever's, I'm sooo over that. Although.." she bites her lip, "Admittedly, he *is* kinda cute...A good dancer, sweet talker." more blushing. "Heck, if I wasn't with Conner, I'd...Uh..." Megan just laughs nervously, shaking her head, stuffing her head with more pillows and tea. So much so that she nearly chokes. "Of course I told Conner. He was understanding, thought Roberto was out of line..He's a sweet guy, Conner is.." she smiles fondly.
Shannon	Shannon chuckles, and shakes her head. "He is as he is. Sometimes, guys are flirts just as bad as girls can be. It takes two to tango. Thing is, though, you -are- with Conner. And just seeing the way your eyes lit up talking aobut him, it's easy to tell where your heart is."      She raises her cup and takes a sip, smiling at Megan over the edge of her cup. "You did the right thing telling Conner and talking it out with him. If he's cool with it and forgives you, then maybe it's time you forgave yourself, and focus on where your heart is--which pretty obviously seems to be Conner." She grins and giggles a little bit. "How about maybe making it up to him by putting a date night together with him?"
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn nods. "Of course, I'm happy with Conner of course. Roberto was kinda out of line.,Think I'll just stay low for a bit though, stay out of his way.." she smiles, "I'm glad I'm getting to spend more time with Conner though. And we'll definitely have to set up a date soon..Ooh I have to ask him to the dance!" she giggles, "We've been together a while so I think maybe he's serious about me.."
Shannon	Shannon giggles and wiggles her eyebrows. "Here's to boys being serious about us," she says, raising one cookie in something of a toast. Nibbling on the sweet, lightly citrusy confection, she utters a soft sigh of contentment. "Oooo that's right, prom. I've got a date settled, just have to figure out what I'll be wearing..."
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn smiles and nods, her mood seemingly lightened by the little conversation. She raises her cup of cooling tea to Shannon's and nods. "Cheers!" Megan downs the last of her tea at that and smiles, "Oooh, Soo who are you inviting to the prom?"
Shannon	Shannon just blushes and grins. "Why, Ted, of course." Oh-ho! Now it's her turn to get all blushy and giggly, her wings furling around in front of her like a great, feathery cocoon, hiding her face. "I kind of went all Sadie Hawkins and asked him."
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn grins, peering intently at Shannon, noting the change that comes over her. "Oooh you and Ted huh. I knew I was right! I dunno him well, but he seems nice.." she giggles, "I guess I'll have to ask Conner out, but first I'll need permission..From Ms Grey I guess, right?"
Shannon	"Mhm, probably a good idea to ask her. I mean, I'm pretty darn sure she knows about you and him. We all went to the Nevernever on that one mission, but still... yeah, I'd ask her." Shannon giggles softly, her feathers ruffling and her wings remaining furled, though she peeks out over the leading edges. "Yeah, Ted really -is- nice. Big heart, sensitive, kind of got that whole Southern charm thing going on... there's times we just talk for hours and hours about everything and nothing, and it feels like no time at all. Is it like that with you and Conner?"
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn nods and smiles, "Right, I'll talk to Jean before I ask Conner..And I look forward to seeing you at the dance too..lAre you gonna help with decorations too? I've talked Jeremy into helping me, gotta poke Jubes next, she loves that stuff!" she giggles and nods, "Yeaah, I mean his classes keep him busy lots, and uh..Superheroics..But.." well it's kinda a secret, but not really with him helping them in the never never and all. "Yeah, he showed me the Titans tower and all, cool place. Even got to practice with Red Robin a bit.Cool guy.."
Shannon	"I'm kind of debating between helping with the decorating, and maybe poking Andrea and Jay about possibly helping with the music. I mean, come on, how cool would it be to have Jay's band playing us some tunes?" Shannon smiles, and laughs. "I'd consider playing one or two of my songs but that's all I really have, is just one or two. And a third ready for recording. And a fourth in the writing stage. Heh. Who would've thought I'd wind up playing country?"      It's a good night, to say the least, with the Trouble Twins (R) catching up after a bit of a hiatus, as if no time had been lost at all, talking well into the night like two girls at a slumber party.
