Songs of Flame
Michael had been happy to help out with a friend, be it a helping hand, an ear to listen, or sometimes just some fun. Ash was one of those gals who really needed more fun in her life, and if she wanted Michael around (for whatever reason that may be), then so be it. He may be an ass, but if his friends want him somewhere he'd be there for them unless there were sever extenuating circumstances.

So he waited for her to show up at the restaurant. He knew she was a vegetarian, so he made sure to find a place with a decent amount of vegetarian fare, a little mexican restaurant on the edge of Museum Row near the park.

Ash had just needed to get out badly. Michael had been a good excuse to go and do something. She had needed some space to mull over things and being around Michael was fun. For so many reasons too.

Ash was in means and a loose cream colored top with a dark grey jacket. Nothing very flashy looking. She was trying hard to blend in. But seeing Michael well..... the way her face splits into a happy grin doesn't hide her very well because a few people blink at how cheerful she looked for a second.

	Michael will miss this, as his density is well known. He simply sees a grin, the happy reaction of seeing a friend. He misses the glances and blinks of the others around him. "Hey, Ash. Come on, sit down." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And Ash ignores any knowing looks people give each other. She knows Michael just doesn't notice. That makes this a great crush. It's very safe to have because he won't intentionally hurt her.

He hasn't dated anyone else. Yet.

And she is safe from him figuring this out on his own. No one who knows her will out her because that would be mean.

But on days like this she wishes she was brave enough because she'd love to really say hello.

"Hi." She pulls out a seat flopping into it with that grin still there. "The weather outside is awesome today."

	"Good choice on being outside, I'd say. We can grab some grub here and then go do whatever," Michael says as he motions the waiter over. Lucky for him the strings that Cindy pulled means he had plenty of extra money. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ash would insist on paying for herself. She had funds she lived on until she could find something she wanted to do while away from Atlantis. Really she couldn't think past being a Titan. She loved being on the team. They made her happy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ash is always pleasant to hang out with. She was a pretty damn good friend, even paying for herself even when he had every right to pay it. "So, how are things on the Titans end?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not bad," she admits. "Dinah is an awesome team leader. She runs a tight ship but I like that though," Ash likes the rules and organization. It helps with her nerves. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Cool. It's good to have Dinah there if she's doing that. A tight ship is needed for any team," Michael says as he takes a bite out of his burrito. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She's good at it. I'm learning a lot from the team." She's eating some kind of enchilada that's geared more towards vegetarians. They don't have vegan options but Ash still eats cheese and dairy products so that's okay. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Learning is always good in those kind of situations. Considering how much of an ass I was when I joined the YJLA, I'll admit I learned a hell of a lot while there," Michael admits as he sips from his soda. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And I'm starting to get more comfortable with people. Stammering less unless things get um, weird." Like if she gets put on the spot. Or if there is yelling between team members she really doesn't do well with that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Especially if you're like me," Ash says with a faint roll of her eyes. She got frustrated with herself somedays. At least she was safe to talk around Michael. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sometimes Morgan had to wonder at the carelessness of people and their regards to magic in the present day. It certainly made things easier for her when the things she needed were presented out in the open. With a sharp gesture and familiar chant she throws a strong incapacitating spell at the fire elemental. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, not everyone can be like Ba-" Michael is cut off when he is hit by what feels like a huge wave of sleepiness hit him. He sure as hell didn't know why and he immediately began using everything he could to fight it with little success. Michael began to slump, his eyes fighting hard to stay open but fluttering hard.

	"M-Michael??!" Ash's magical senses go wide open and she's on her feet preparing to cast a protective shield. "Hey! You can't just..." And suddenly stories Arthur, her father, told her growing up come to mind. Ash scowls. "Morgan le Fey. You will not have him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Behind her mask Morgan's eyes narrowed. The elemental wasn't quite as unprotected as she originally had believed, but that didn't mean this girl child would cause a problem. She left some of her concentration directed at the elemental keeping an eye on his wakefulness as she directed another slightly more vicious spell at the young woman. "Who will stop me?"

	Fight the sleep fight the sleep fight the sleep fight the sleep. This is the only thing going through Michaels head as he fights the weird sleepiness. He's managing to stay awake, but only barely. The only hint he's still conscious at all is the fluttering of his eyes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ash manages to use a spell that brings in the energy of the on used against her and casts it back at Morgan in the form of a bolt of lighting. "I will. I am a Mage of Alantis, sorceress," Ash says with confidence. "He is my friend. You will not have him!" Ash is ready to do whatever she must. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_baddie 2011-10-14 07:32 pm UTC (link)
	With more effort Morgan redirects the lightning away from herself. This was beginning to become annoying. Rather than directly attack the so-called Alantis mage, Morgan fires off a powerful summoning spell to the fire elemental hoping to make her way around the girl's guard and pull him to herself to achieve her goal.

	Even through the fighting of the haze Michael can feel himself heating up. It doesn't feel like it's him burning, but...it's odd. It's engulfing, but not wasting. It's such a strange feeling, but it helps invigorate him enough to keep fighting. Michael begins to form into Firestorm, but this one is far more wreathed in flames than he usually is.

"M-- Firestorm. You have to wake up right now," Ash snaps.

Then she turns quickly. Her actions are going to be very foolish. Because she just can't let the sorceress have him.

"You're not taking him from me!" And she begins to cast. Another bolt of electricity flies out followed by another and another. It is a thick barrage of magic intending to over whelm the sorceress.

	Morgan snarls at the attack. It's by no mean enough to defeat her, but it is sufficient enough to turn her entire focus on Ash. The encounter is quickly becoming more troublesome than she had planned on. She's sure to thoroughly shield herself before using the mage's own tactic and returning her electricity back on her.

	You're not taking him from me? That's different. Ash never said anything like that before. That's, well, that's different. Michael would have thought more on it, but for the time being with the warm feeling he was managing to fight the sleepiness. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
