Dance The Night Away

[ascending_angel]

WHO: Dazzler and Archangel.
WHERE: Downtown at a nightclub.
WHEN: Directly following Booster's Post.
WARNINGS: None.
SUMMARY: Warren went and watched Alison's show and they have a talk about it after.
FORMAT: Para then Quicklog.

The show had gone on for a few hours, and somehow Warren managed to survive it. The club they played in was rundown and shoddy, and the patrons matched the look exactly. A lot of the women were middle aged and sporting leather tops, tiny mini skirts, teased hair, and lipstick so red it put the strobes to shame. The men were no better, only they were more pushy and angry drunks. Warren didn't ever step foot in places like those, and it was difficult to not be rude and grumpy about it.

Despite the cougars hitting on him and the men throwing nasty curses at him and shoving him every time he walked by, Warren managed to keep his cool long enough to watch the entire show. Booster Gold and his little get-up was obnoxious as hell, but he enjoyed Alison. She looked and sounded beautiful and he was proud of her; she looked so happy up there and no matter how gross the place was, that very fact stood out.

The pair were just tidying their equipment off the stage when Warren found himself in the company of two trashy women again. "Hello again, ladies."

They just giggled, and asked if he was interested in buying them some drinks.

How typical.

[She walks off the stage, eyes skimming the place for her boyfriend. she sets on him easily and her eyes narrow. UH. NO. Alison is NOT IMPRESSED. She stalks over, glaring a little. She doesn't care if these ladies are fans because NO. She pushes past them and made a grab for his hand.]

Yeah, sorry. He is MY boyfriend. Drinks are off.

[She then drags him away.]

[ascending_angel]

[He gave the cougars a shrug.]

My better half beckons. Sorry, ladies.

[He lets himself be dragged away and grins at the back of her head.]

Hey, Ali.

[idateforsupper]

[She turns around when they're far enough from those bitches who think they can just pick up ANYONE. She throws her arms around his neck and smiles.]

Hi.

[ascending_angel]

[He slides his arms around her waist and gives her a hug]

You looked amazing. How you feeling?

[idateforsupper]

Good! Some show, huh?

[She beams against him. Ali just loves praise.]

[ascending_angel]

[He can't help but smile back at her]

The show was good, yeah.

[He glances back at the drunks behind them]

Are they all like this?

[idateforsupper]

Yes, they are.

[She grins, rolling her eyes a little. She's amused.]

Do you want to leave?

[ascending_angel]

[Nods quicker than he should have]

Yeah, sure, if you're ready. I could definitely use some fresh air.

[idateforsupper]

Yeah, I am. I didn't even have to yell at anyone tonight!

[She leads him towards the back exit, opening it and pulling him out into the street. When they're outside, she lets go of his hand and pulls her wig off. BLAH MESSY HAIR. She attempts fixing it up quickly.]

[ascending_angel]

[He watches her with amusement, jamming his hands in his pockets as he waits for her to finish]

Good. I hate when you say you have to do that. It's not right.

[idateforsupper]

I hate to say it, honey, but with Booster there it makes stuff easier.

[ANNOYED BY THAT. She shoves her wig into her bag and attempts a smile at him.]

There we go~

[ascending_angel]

[Just gives her a look]

He's kind of obnoxious, you know.

[idateforsupper]

He's okay. Sometimes the way he talks is a little much, but I like him.

[ascending_angel]

Yeah well he was running his mouth already at me once tonight.

[Folds his arms and looks annoyed still]

I'll give him the benefit of a doubt, Alison, but I swear to god if he tries any of that creepy crap with you, you need to break his face.

[idateforsupper]

[Stares at him.]

In a heartbeat. [Pause] What did he say to you?

[ascending_angel]

[Unimpressed face]

He accused me of being a pervert and staring at your ass because I complimented you.

[idateforsupper]

[JUST SIGHS]

Are you two going to get along?

[ascending_angel]

[Hhhhhh]

I wasn't the one being obnoxious!

[idateforsupper]

[Nrghhh]

I'll talk to him, okay?

[ascending_angel]

[SIGHS]

Look, I don't want to make you upset, okay? I'm probably just being paranoid still, and I'm sorry.

[idateforsupper]

[She rolls her eyes, reaching forward and touching his arm. Her expression becomes softer.]

You really don't need to worry.

[ascending_angel]

[Frowns]

But I do. After everything that happened...like hell I'll stand back and let it happen again.

[idateforsupper]

[Kind of glares at that.]

It's not like I'm helpless.

[ascending_angel]

I never said that! I told you already that has nothing to do with it!

[idateforsupper]

Yeah, okay. Look, Warren. I can handle myself in these situations---and as long as I'm not having my head SCREWED with, I can handle the way men treat me.

[Folds arms. She's irritated now.]

Besides, Booster is gay. He just doesn't know it yet.
