A night in (Rex)
Since things had died down considerably, Hope decided to take advantage of it. She arrived at Rex's place that evening, bearing cheeseburgers, beer, and chocolate cake.

	Rex is happy to see his girlfriend. Unbeknownst to Hope, Rex had also purchased a chocolate cake for her, because he knew she loved such things. When she arrives, he smiles and kisses her. "I see a Goddess came to be worshipped. You came to the right place. Step into the temple." he grins. Those jokes never got old for him. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Hope smiled, kissing him back. "I brought cheeseburgers, chocolate cake, and beer." She said, grinning. "All things required for proper worshiping." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Damn. What did I do right? Tell me so I can keep doing it." Rex grins, taking a few things from Hope and setting them down. "Basketball game is on. You want to watch that or something else?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're just wonderful?" Hope laughed, taking a seat on the sofa. "Basketball is fine. Who's playing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Star City Thunder vs Los Angeles Lakers. I'm hoping the Thunder beat these guys." Rex says, getting a couple of plates for their food and bringing the beers over. "How was your day, Goddess?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	smallwonder 2011-04-11 01:59 am UTC (link)
	"The Thunder's hand a good season," Hope said. "I'm positive they'll thrash the Lakers." She kicked her shoes off, relaxing on the couch. "My day was good," she said, smiling. "It's better now, though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rex hands Hope her plate, the sits down and kisses her knee, before starting to eat. "So...I told Carter that I'm probably not going to be working at the museum much longer. I'm going to start looking into a loan to open my own architecture firm." Rex says. "What do you think?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hope took a sip of her beer, listening to him. "If you're serious about it Rex, and your heart's in it, then you can do it. I know you can. And I'll support you every step of the way." She smiled at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah, I love building things. Got it from my dad. When I was kid, he got me ever Lego castle set there was. And we'd sit down together every night after school, when he was home, and build more and more of it.

Of course, I usually fell asleep long before he did, but those were some of the best times." Rex says, taking a sip of his beer.

He cheers as the Thunder take the lead in the game.

	"If he were here today and knew what you wanted to do, he would be so proud of you. I know it." Hope smiled at him, taking another bite of her burger. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2011-04-11 03:25 am UTC (link)
	"I hope so, Goddess. I didn't really take it well after he disappeared. Didn't always make the best choices, but I hope he'd be proud of me overall." Rex says. "I know he'd love you, though. How are your parents doing?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	smallwonder 2011-04-11 03:37 am UTC (link)
	"You lead a team of heroes to do good against evil, you're a good friend, and you try your best to be the best brother you can be, I think he'd be very proud of you." Hope said, smiling at him. "My parents doing well. Dad's on tour, and Mom decided to go with him. How's your mother, Carter, and Nic?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Cindy has seduced Nic with bacon. I don't think her arteries will ever be clear, but she's happy. She's also got Mickey back, which doubled her happiness." Rex says.

"Mom and Carter are doing better. Those freaky Black Lanterns damn near killed them, but the got out okay." Rex says.

"They're back to work at the dig sites in Egypt. And with Nic hanging out with Cindy more often...my apartment tends to be a lonely place." Rex says, raising his eyebrows.

"And I heard Goddess Junior and Will are gettin' along. I will say that I did /not/ see that one coming. They're so...different." Rex says.

"Different" was an understatement.

Hope grinned at him. "I can come and keep you company anytime you want, you know." She said. "A Boom Tube is a wonderful thing."

Hope took another sip of her beer.

"I know," she said. "It's...weird, I'll be honest. He's normally not the type Avia goes for. At all. But Will is a good kid, and much beer than some idiot she could pick up off the streets. So, I'm happy in that respect."

Pause.

"Though if he hurts my little sister, I swear, I will throw him through a wall so fast, he won't know what hit him."

"Will is a good guy and I don't think he's interested in Avia for the physical stuff, at least not primarily. Will's a solid guy and he really adds a lot to the team." Rex tells her, finishing up his burger. He sits his plate on the table and pulls Hope's feet into his lap to massage them.

"Although, if you /have/ to toss him through a wall, can you avoid breaking his jaw? He needs to be able to say his word." Rex jokes.

"Seriously, though. I don't know that Will's dated much. I'd be more worried about him than Goddess Junior." he says.

	Hope sighed, closing her eyes at the foot-massaging. "Best boyfriend ever." "I'll try to avoid jaw-breaking. It's only reserved for extreme circumstances, anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2011-04-12 02:05 am UTC (link)
	"I'm pretty glad Goddess Junior isn't as protective of you as you are of her. I'm a little scared to think of what traps I'd have to face to get to you. Oh, and if she brought your dad in on it, I'd be toast." Rex laughs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mom did challenge you to a wrestling match, though." Hope said with a grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2011-04-12 03:38 am UTC (link)
	"She did. The best thing about that match was you cheering for me. It made the beatdown hurt less. I was just glad she said it was okay to date you." Rex smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	smallwonder 2011-04-12 03:39 am UTC (link)
	"At least Dad didn't decide to 'test you'," Hope laughed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2011-04-12 03:44 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, I still can't figure out how Houdini did the underwater escape trick. I get this feeling that that would have been my test." Rex says, laughs too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	smallwonder 2011-04-12 03:48 am UTC (link)
	"Knowing Dad...it's possible. He'd consider that 'easy'." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2011-04-12 04:11 am UTC (link)
	"I'd really prefer fighting Parademons. Imagine what I'll have to go through to ask to marry you." Rex laughs, taking a swig of his beer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	smallwonder 2011-04-13 12:26 am UTC (link)
	"Probably a wrestling match, followed by a series of 'easy' escape tricks. Granted 'easy' by Dad's standards and most escape artists vary drastically." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2011-04-13 05:14 am UTC (link)
	"Then I'd better have Goddess Junior start teaching me some of the easier ones she knows. One can never been too ready." Rex chuckles, going back to working on Hope's feet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	smallwonder 2011-04-13 05:55 am UTC (link)
	"I know some basic escape tricks too, you know." Hope said, grinning. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Care to share? I can use all of the advantages I can get." Rex says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	smallwonder 2011-04-13 06:38 am UTC (link)
	"I might get in trouble for sharing secrets...but it'll just be between us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2011-04-13 06:52 am UTC (link)
	"Hey, it's still a secret if we're the only ones who know." Rex says, leaning over to kiss her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	smallwonder 2011-04-13 06:54 am UTC (link)
	"Yes. That's the wonderful thing about it being a secret." Hope smiled, kissing him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2011-04-13 07:18 am UTC (link)
	"As it happens, I've got some rope laying around. You can teach me a few of those escape moves now, if you want. I can catch SportsCenter later on." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	smallwonder 2011-04-13 07:34 am UTC (link)
	She grinned. "I can. I think you'll find I'm a good teacher." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2011-04-13 07:46 am UTC (link)
	"Goddess, I knew that after our first sparring match." Rex says, standing up. He offers her his hand. "But let's head to the classroom for further instruction." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	smallwonder 2011-04-13 07:52 am UTC (link)
	Hope took his hand, standing up. "Yes. And if the student is good...maybe the teacher will reward him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2011-04-13 07:55 am UTC (link)
	Rex suddenly pulls Hope to him, ducks and throws her over his shoulder. "Yeah, good probably isn't happening tonight, Goddess. Don't worry, though. I'll pray to you for forgiveness later or something." Rex chuckles and carries her to the bedroom. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	smallwonder 2011-04-13 08:02 am UTC (link)
	"Naughty students will be punished accordingly." Hope said in her best "teacher voice", laughing as he tossed her over his shoulder. (Reply to this)(Parent)
