Owner Pose
Vector     Nancy and Liz are out at the park, hand in hand, Liz holding onto a hot dog having thrown away the tash from the gyro she'd been eating twenty minutes ago in the garbage can on the other side of hteh ot dog stand. She eats while she walks, scnanign the people in the park with a thoughtful frown. It's a warm, sunny summer day and the park has quite a few people in it but the paths are still fairly clear for now. "So..." A beat. "You sure want to go ahead and do this?"
Dragonfly     "Do what?" Nancy wonders aloud, fake innocence plastered over her face. "Eat lunch in the park? It's my favourite place for that!"
    Her lunch is a salad because of course it is. What else do people neurotic about their weight eat?
    "Or was there something else you had in mind? Like, say, flying to Brazil on a moment's notice and meeting parents?"
    She impulsively plants a kiss on Liz's cheek. "So, yes to all of it I guess."
Booster Gold "Hey, so," Booster chimes in, horking down some ice cream. He's dressed in tight-fitting yacht shorts, an obnoxiously pink polo shirt, and loafers. "Like, I'm here /too/, and as fun as it is to watch you two dote and make goo-goo at each other-- just saying, I'd like to be innvolved in the conversation," Booster remarks.

"Just saying. Why are you going to Brazil? Are you guys really /that/ serious?"
Vector     "I've been waiting to find my dad for fifteen years, Booster," Liz replies, looking bakc over her shoulder at the man walkign beside them. Seh surveys Booster brieflyfrom head to toe, briefly biting down on her bottom while she considers this for a moment. There's a brief shudder and then she shaeks her head. "I just want to go meet him. It's not like he gave me up by choice, you know. This isn't one of those abandonment stories..." She takes a deep breath then glances down at her hot dog and squickly takes a few more bites. "Oh, hey. Look. Popcorn." Guess what the next stop is going to be?
Dragonfly     "Well, Liz wants to meet her old man and she wants to have friends with her for support," Nancy translates. "And you and I are her best friends, right Boo... Michael?" She shudders at that more than at the suit. "We're the best of friends. Super buddies, even." Cruel, cruel trick, that, invoking his own group name against him. "And really, as much as I may ride you and taunt you and act disgusted around you, you really are a good friend. No matter how much you sometimes annoy. That's the best kind; people you like despite their flaws, right?"
Booster Gold "Yep, that's almost precisely why I'm friends with you, Nancypants," Booster confirms.

He's self-absobred. Not dumb.

"Okay, so like, we go to Brazil, we meet your old man, and then like, do what?" he asks. "Lounge on the beaches, get on tan on? What do they even /eat/ in Brazil?" he inquires.
Vector     "Food," Liz responds drily to Booster's last question, shaking her head. "I don't know, I mean... Yeah. Catch some rays, get a good tan, have drinks at a fancy resort." There's a shrug from Liz at that.
    Now the popccorn is bieng ordered, Liz studying the person behind the cart and then looking back over her shoulder at Booser as she continues. "The first thing we have to do is... You know. Find him." A beat. "Pretty sure I have that handled though. It'll begood. Fun. Call it a team building exercise?"
Dragonfly     Booster's biting back actually makes Nancy giggle appreciatively. "See, that's why I like you, Michael. You're fun and you give as good as you take. It took me a while to see past the bluster, but ... you're really an OK guy."
    Liz's notion of a team-building exercise gets a nod and a point. "What she said. One of our problems right now as buddies is that we're ... well ... not very coordinated. This will help us learn to work together. And yeah, after that, soak up some rays. Ogle the wildlife. Get married. You know, all the usual Rio stuff."
Booster Gold "Don't let it get out, it'll ruin my rep," Booster grins, pushing Nancy's shoulder.

"Okay. Wait, are you two talking seriously about the big 'M' word?" he asks, blinking at Nancy's casual word-dropping-ness. "Sheesh, you two aren't wasting any time," he mutters, inhaling more ice cream from the bowl in his hands. "So this isn't a 'hey meet my girlfriend' trip, this is a 'we're planning the wedding' trip."
Vector     "Well, see? You have to come now... Michael?" Liz blinks at this and then slowly shrugs. "We need a witness and I haven't even found the other option yet," the speedster adds, nodding quickly. A little too quickly, maybe. It's just a quirk one has to get used to with her. She is just taking her bag of popcorn now. "Thank you, Vince. Really appreciate you-"
    Then Eliza stops. She turns toward Nancy slowly and then takes a deep breath. Slowly. "Y-you... We- um." Now she's bright red. "Okay."
Dragonfly     "Can you think of a better place than Rio for this?" Nancy asks sweetly. "And can you think of a better person for me to do it with?"
    She looks over at Booster with a grin. "It was supposed to be "meet the girlfriend" but I wanted to watch Liz's face just now. And it was worth it!"
    Beat.
    "Yours is looking pretty funny too, I should add."
Dragonfly Dragonfly says, "Hide behind me, Ghost. I'm pretty dangerous too. Especially to those on my side!"
Vector Liz says, ""Don't hide behind Liz. It's a really useless thing to do."
Dragonfly Dragonfly picks Liz up, sits on a sofa, sets Liz down next to her.
Dragonfly Dragonfly picks Molly up, turns her upside down and holds her in the middle of the room away from all the walls.
Dragonfly Dragonfly puts Molly down. "You are a bratty cyberrat." Now that she's put her down, Dragonfly lets Molly go.
Vector Liz says, "I'd intercede on your behalf but I'd be comically flailing at her at insane speeds, Molls."
Vector Liz says, "It is possible that Liz could harm Dragonfly physically if she went all out, but who knows?"
Dragonfly Dragonfly says, "Do you find that you begin to suffer side effects when you DON'T have drugs?"
Dragonfly Dragonfly says, "I'm not certain that there is a universe in which this is possible, to be honest."
Vector Liz says, "Lucy is pretty darn cute. For an emotionally flat nanotechnological murder machine."
Vector Liz says, "Given Lucy is emotionally flat, speaks primarily in logical statements of fact, frequently math, and just stares at everything the fact I've pulled off creepy-cute with her surprises me."
Vector Liz goes to lay down for a ocuple hours while she can.
Dragonfly Dragonfly says, "When Ikea is marketing to you, you are no longer a counter-culture."
Vector Liz Freaks out, runs a circle around the state of New York City three times, catches the bullets fired at Ghost, takes them to Timbuktu, runs back across the oceasn, buys three pizzas, has lunch, orders a new couch, pens a new Broadway production, visits the Terra Cotta Warriors, and then runs back to Alice just in time to be "shot" with the finger pistols. She collapses in a slow, dramatic death scene.
Vector Liz says, "Watch it, blondie. I'll eat YOU if I have to."
