It's a Date (And Hilarity Possibly Ensues)
Since the Outsiders were one of the few groups out there with a true secret headquarters, bringing GK back there hadn't been an option. Joey had, instead, opted to meet and pick up his date at the coffee shop where they'd met. True, going on a date in the middle of a possible zombie invasion wasn't necessarily the best idea, but as far as he was concerned, if they needed more heroes, they'd page. Whatever was going on now, it was way above his paygrade.

He checked his watch. He was a little early. Good. Drawing a handful of stares, but if the last few days and coming close to dying had taught him anything, it was that life was way to short to even begin to worry about that.

Weird thought. This was, technically, his first real date in a long while. Oh, sure, they're been any number of chicks with tattoos and piercings and dye-jobs off to piss off daddy by dating the elemental freak, or the one who'd had a fetish for having melty-stuff on her, and plenty of other fly-by-night girls whose names he could probably not remember.... But this was the first true date, as opposed to a hook-up.

Huh. Maybe we was growing up after all.

Scary thought.

	One of them screamed like a little girl at the sight of Joey. A couple of the others opened fire on him. None noticed GK yet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	First things first. He slashed the getaway van's tires as soon as he'd darted over. Then he'll whirl toward the robbers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Even without doing anything else, Joey was basically bulletproof. The slugs impacted with his body without penetrating them. His right arm show out, extending, the hand transforming into a metal hammer head. It made a very satisfying noise as it colliding with the head of one of the thugs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing!" the one in the van shouted, leaning out the window and pulling his gun. Another one put himself in GK's path. "Big mistake, pretty boy!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The part of the swordstick that's still 'stick' to bat at the driver's gun hand before he can level it. The 'sword' part goes for Mr. Shouty's knee, not at all uncomfortable with the prospect of slicing into the meniscus. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Joey hit another one with a high pressure water blast, like a firehose. Two down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The gun went flying across the street, clattering away. The other screamed as the blade tore at his leg. Another tried to sneak up behind GK with a lead pipe in his hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And a sensible yet stylish shoe will come back from behind GK to slam between the guy's legs. "Oh come on. You're subtle like an elephant." He called to Joey. "You okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Joey hit the last one with an oversized cobalt fist. He really needed to study his elements better, he reflected. He kept going back to the same things. "Fine," he said. "You?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nothing hurt but my pride," he says cheerfully. There are sirens in the distance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	the_element_son 2011-03-04 12:52 am UTC (link)
	"So... you, uh, do this kinda thing too?" he asks, now that he's realized what he's seen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-03-04 12:59 am UTC (link)
	"Not usually in this neighborhood," he says, cleaning enough blood off the blade that he can sheath it for now. "And I'm no professional; it's just a volunteer-amateur kind of thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Joey looks over the ones GK had downed. "Not bad work, though," he says. He listens to the sirens. "We should probably go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-03-04 01:38 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks." GK takes a breath. "Yeah. Be seeing you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	the_element_son 2011-03-04 02:09 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah..." Joey says, trailing off. "...Sorry about this, man." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-03-04 02:13 am UTC (link)
	"...Thanks. S'okay. But when you find yourself a girl, make sure she's awesome, or I will rail against the injustice in the universe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	the_element_son 2011-03-04 02:22 am UTC (link)
	That gets a bit of a grin out of him. "Got it." And with that, he takes off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-03-04 02:23 am UTC (link)
	And so does GK. (Reply to this)(Parent)
