WHO: Alex & Lorna
WHERE: A random cafe in the City
WHEN: Friday, after Alex has broken up with Scatty and gotten punched by Scott and Josh
WARNINGS: None
SUMMARY: Alex and Lorna meet in a cafe to catch up. Alex sulks.
FORMAT: Para

Alex shows up at the cafe five minutes ahead of schedule. He's earlier than Lorna, so he slides onto a seat and waits for her, staring broodily out at passers-by. His shades are on to hide the two-and-a-half bruises he's currently sporting, courtesy of Scott and Scathach and a baby one from Josh. He's briefly contemplated staying in his room the entire weekend until they fade but he did agree to meet Lorna before all of that happened and he doesn't want to blow her off-- she'll know something is up.

Besides, maybe she'll cheer him up.

"I'm just going to lie low until this blows over and hope I don't run into her at the Institute," he mumbled. Aside from going out for his bodyguard jobs with Dazzler, everything else was going to be all about training the team and X-Men work. Alex also hoped his bruises would heal fast.
apocalypsewench: (YEAHHH)

Suddenly the utensils on the table started to float and twist in between them. "Alex?"

[identity profile] cry-andletloose.livejournal.com 2010-04-24 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes?" He said questioningly but distractedly, lost mostly in his own world-- such that he failed to see the utensils between them being manipulated by her powers. Again.
apocalypsewench: (i'd hit it and admit it)

"Cheer up," she told him, letting the metal rise above even higher. "You're making a scene."

That'd be her, though, since everyone was staring at them now.

He looked up finally at her, slightly startled by the metal she was manipulating-- then smiled. "Trying to get us kicked out again, are you?"
apocalypsewench: (I'm gonna dance in my underwear)

"Or just playing until you look up," she smiled, and let the utensils twist around a little longer.

"Well, you have my attention now," Alex said, still smiling and doing his best not to think unhappy thoughts for once. It was working, too. It was a really good thing the City wasn't big on discrimination.
apocalypsewench: (FLIRTY FLIRTY)

"I'll try not to cause a riot this time," she mused. "But as usual, I make no promises."

"Good, because you'll have to stop it if you do. Crowd control really isn't my forte," he returned with the ghost of a smirk. More likely he'd be calming her than the crowd down, in all honesty.
apocalypsewench: (thanks for bringing metal to the party)

"I know, Alex. I think we both learned our lesson the last time," Lorna grinned. Even if that whole thing had been completely her fault, whoops!

[identity profile] cry-andletloose.livejournal.com 2010-04-26 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. You haven't run into any mutant haters here, have you? I'd hate to think what'd happen with no one around to calm you down."

Okay, now he was teasing her just a little.
apocalypsewench: (DAMN THIS FUNERAL DRESS)

[personal profile] apocalypsewench 2010-04-26 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"You haven't seen any deaths on the news, have you?" she teased, giving him a small smirk. "Really, Alex. I can control myself."

His smile faded at that and he put his fork down. "Even Pestilence?" He asked quietly, voice snagging slightly on something. Honestly, ever since seeing Warren lose control the way he did in Washington, that worry had been at the back of Alex's mind. He knew that given time, she would get better- he was from her future, after all- but what if being in the City changed things?
apocalypsewench: (ooooooh)

Lorna's smirk washed right off her face, and she turned her head to look away from him. No, no, no.

"I don't want to talk about that, Alex."

[identity profile] cry-andletloose.livejournal.com 2010-04-27 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
He let some of the worry bleed onto his face, reaching out to close his hand over hers.

"I know, but I'd hate to find you in an alley again the way you were that night."
apocalypsewench: (i'm not having this conversation)

[personal profile] apocalypsewench 2010-04-27 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
She watched him as he did that, wondering why he had to bring this up. Why.

"It won't happen again. I'll make sure of it."

because he loves her

He paused for awhile, clearly skeptical. Alex would never understand what Apocalypse had done to her, but that didn't mean he would stop trying.

"If you say so..."
apocalypsewench: (WE'RE LITTLE)

he will mend her broken heart that he broke

"It's not like it happens much in the future, right?" she told him grimly. Honestly, the only reason that even happened was because of Jono.

Right.

Right?

Right.
