Meet the Freemans
Will was Nervous. Yes, with a capital "N". This was the night that his new girlfriend comes to visit. His mom was finishing up the roast (free range, of course), Dad was home helping out, and Will may well be going out of his mind in nervousness.

'Okay, okay, relax, Will', Will told himself. It was just dinner. A good, delicious dinner, made in a way Avia would like and it would be a nice way to have her meet his Mom and Dad.

Avia was pretty nervous herself, if the truth be told. She'd a) never been in a relationship that had lasted this long before, b) never been in a relationship that had lasted so long without there being any sex, and c) never been in a relationship long enough to need to meet the parents.

Completely uncharted waters here.

She'd toned down her regalia a bit, though she'd still gone with one of her Hippie-fied skirts.

She'd Boom-Tubed into town, then walked the rest of the way. She was pretty sure Will and family still had the whole secret identity thing going, and didn't want to ruin that.

She'd also brought an apple pie, baked by a friend at a commune on the coast.

Avia took a breath, reminded herself she'd stared down and mouthed-off to Darkseid himself, and knocked.

	Mary is at the door all smiles and 1950's dress. She couldn't help it. She was the type of person who was all smiles and super friendly all the time. Which meant she answered the door. And her whole face lights up. She loves Avia right away."HI! You're Avia? Come on in, I love that skirt." She blinks and beams. "Apple pie! We love apple pie." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They here?" calls Freddy from the other room, It takes some doing, but eventually he leverages himself up and hobbles towards the door. "So, this is the girl we've heard so much about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Y-yeah, dad, it is," Will says as he makes his way to the door. "H-hi, Avia. Mom, Dad, this is Avia Free. Avia, this is my Mom and Dad. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well, Mary certainly was... friendly. She'd heard things, of course, but it had still left her a bit unprepared. Avia smiled. "It's groovy to meet you both, Mister and Missus Freeman." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Please call me Mary," she moves back so they can come inside. "And I'm glad you could come here. We're happy to have you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Freddy can't help but grin, just a little, calling in the direction of Will's room, "Your girlfriend is here! You're right, this one is cute, I see what you see in her." That ought to get the kid running. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well well well, it looks like its not just Avia who has the power to make Will blush fire red with just a sentence. "D-d-dad! D-don't mind him, Avia. C-come on in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ah, Will was so cute when he was embarrassed, Avia thought, as she came inside. She gave Will a quick peck on the cheek. "Hey, m'man. How you been?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_parent 2011-06-05 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	Of course it wasn't just Avia. How do you think Will got so gunshy? "Yeah, come on in, make yourself at home." Freddy offers, limping back in to the main room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Please. I've got to check on the roast but I think it's done," she looks in the direction of the kitchen were tasty smells are coming from. "And I think I'll set the table.That way you can just relax Avia. You're a guest after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	With the dispersion of the parents, Will was now alone with his girlfriend in the main hallway next to the door. He offered his hand and turned sideways, motioning to the dining room. "C-come in. M-moms got a free range roast c-cooking." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's a family tradition Avia. Not even Will's Uncle Billy helps when he can drop in," Mary points out with a soft chuckle. "I like doing the whole hostess thing anyways. I like having people over. And my favorite thing is to throw a party.... Have you ever been to a JSA party? They're wonderful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She's right, I don't know how Will or I don't weigh 400 pounds with her cooking. The one constant, you show up, you get fed. If you really want to help out, you could grab me a beer though. Feel free to grab one for yourself if you want it." he teases. Have to scandalize Will a little more. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Appreciate it, Mr. Fre--Freddie," Avia amended, "but I don't drink. Thanks, though." She did, however, get one for him. She shook her head. "Usually the only parties I go to are the JLA ones, or stuff at Warriors. Might have to start going though, if that's the case." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well from what I recall the JSA always loves an excuse for a party," she points out. "Will. I'm not trying to order you around but you should....you know. Bring Avia with you."

She's pulling down plates and looking for flat wear. Table mats are already down with simple cloth napkins. While it is a pain to wash them Mary enjoys them because they're pretty to her and reusable in most cases.

	"Well, if you consider that partying. Definitely Will's kind of excitement, occasionally they even get a rousing game of go fish going." Freddy teases, accepting the beer gratefully. "Ma's a great cook though... almost as good as Mary." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Right at this moment, Will wanted to shrink into a corner. But dinner was almost ready, so hopefully once they got eating a lot of the remarks and jokes at his expense will be forgotten. "S-so, c-come sit down. L-looks like d-dinners almost ready. Wanna come over h-here, dad? I can help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_parent 2011-06-06 01:23 am UTC (link)
	"And what do you want to drink Avia? And you Will?" Everything is almost fully set up. And she is fairly certain Avia will love the roast. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks, kiddo." Freddy responds, accepting the hand up and to the table. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avia followed Will and Freddie. "Just water is fine for me, thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	geekgreek 2011-06-07 02:24 pm UTC (link)
	"Water for me, too, Mom," Will said, moving a seat back for Avia and Freddy. (Reply to this)(Parent)
