All-out War at Warriors
Unlike most of New York, Petra loved her job. It wasn't for getting special treatment or anything for being the big boss' daughter, she'd put a stop to that the first time she got a hint of it. It wasn't the tips, although she'd long since established the perfect margin for cleavage, skirt-length, and makeup to maximize them. It was being part of the family business. Daddy had turned one bar into a mounting international franchise of upscale but still family accessible bar-and-restaurants. Interplanetary, actually, considering there was one on Oa as well.

Her job was her pride and joy, waitress or not. That and her collection of boots anyway.

And boy was that about to be tested.

It turns a few heads at first as some brightly dressed individuals enter the place, but it's not so uncommon. Plenty of regulars come in costumes of their favorite heroes and villains, or make their own togs. It's when the occasional use of tech or metahuman powers starts getting noticed that some people start asking for their checks. Soon, the place is emptying out in a slow but noticeable flow of customers.

Then one of the other waitresses, and a waiter as well, both of them rather fetching, get pulled in to sit with them at the large booth they're taking up like a mentally imbalanced football team (bit repetitive there, but still).

Petra scowls, cracks her neck, and strolls over, pulling Tara and Byron out and shooing them off. The air starts to get colder around her.

"Alright guys, your drinks so far are on the house, if you clear out right now. No need for this to get uglier than you sitting down already made it."

Josh looks up from fiddling with one of the bullet holes in his sweatshirt and sits next to Henry. He glances around at the others and smiles in a shy manner. The healer just ends up blushing when Henry calls him awesome.

"I umm..." he pauses and takes a breath. "It's very nice to meet you all," he says, looking over Rex and Petra with his senses and eyes.

"Hey, don't go spreadin' that around, Jordan. I've got a rep to maintain." he Rex says, mock seriously.

"Nice to you meet you all. Good thing we were all here to kick some ass and take names, huh? Hope is gonna be sorry she missed this. And way to throw the first punch, Jordan.

You're the spittin' image of your old man. How is he doing these days?" Rex asks.

"Still kicking ass and taking names," Henry replies. "And the spitting image is pure genetic chance. Dad's off in space -- has been all month. Tracking down some bad guys or another."

"Can't believe I wasn't the first one to throw a punch. Daddy's going to think I'm going soft.." Petra chuckles as she noshes on a chicken finger.

Josh nods and starts to say something but something occurs to him. "I...didn't get any of their names. Was I supposed to?" he asks Rex, glancing to Henry and Petra for their input.

"Trust me, Gardner, no one's going to think you're going soft." he says, giving her the once-over.

"Besides, Henry's right. It's pretty much a fact of nature that a Jordan will throw the first punch if there's one within a hundred miles of a fight." Rex chuckles.

Traya pouted. "Sure, Henry. Just forget to introduce me. I don't mind."

Henry gives an embarrassed twitch. "Sorry, Traya, I totally didn't see you! Josh, Avalon, this is Traya, and she's pretty awesome, too."

Traya grinned. "Yeah, well, I'll forgive you. ...This time."

Petra passes Traya glass of water.

"Here, throw this in his face and yell 'You BASTARD!' You'll feel better." She grins playfully.

Josh stares when Petra suggests what she does. He turns to Traya quickly. "Please don't do that."

"It's cool, Josh. I'd deserve it for forgetting someone as awesome as Traya." He smiles at her, a friendly, brotherly smile. "Plus, it's not like I haven't had it happen before..."

"You mean like the time you left me to go off with that girl at the mall and I had to fly home by myself?"

Josh just blinks a few times. When Traya tells of the event at the mall, Josh looks down and frowns just a moment. "Well...still. As nice as Henry looks all wet, please don't?"

"Don't worry," Traya assured him. "I like Henry. I wouldn't do that."

"Presenting Henry Jordan soaking wet is a public service though!" Petra laughs, knocking back some of a ginger ale.

Josh's eyes go wide and he turns bright red. His mind wanders off and he stares into space.

Oh boy...

Petra chuckles to herself. "Okay, so I think I caught everyone's name or codename, but who are you all with? I know Henry's JLA, but I'm still a 'free agent' for the moment."

"I'm going to see about getting Josh and Avalon both onto the JLA with Traya and me," Henry replies.
