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.

Morgan laughs. The girl has potential as a sorceress, but she's wasting her powers and talent left and right.

Keeping her shield in place she redoubles her attack multiplying each of the lightning bolts as she returns them even as she weaves a subtler enchantment meant to steal the elemental right out from under his pathetic guardian. It weighs on her concentration to divide her attentions in three, but when she succeeds the rewards will be worth the trouble.

The flame becomes very very hot, and combined with a will that once powered a Green Lantern ring Michael began to pull himself out of the slumber when he noticed something...different. He could see them with his Quark Vision. That never happened before.

"Hey, ancient bitch? You want fire?"

With that a torrent of plasma concentrated Fire came out of him, racing at the witch.

And now that Michael is paying attention and doing things Ash can counter that spell. Say hello to a dumpster falling from the air.

Yeah it was silly and cartoonish but it worked.

"Eat garbage."

The fire is enough to make her cease her attacks and draw her entire force into her shield, but having to deflect the dumpster is the last indignity.

She's lost her advantage and the elemental was aware enough to use his abilities to back up the mage now. That put her at a disadvantage she hadn't planned for so with one final large bolt of lightning aimed at Ash for a parting shot, she chants and disappears.

Michael struggled a bit to let the fire die back down within him, the thing that Morgaine did (whatever the hell it was) messing with him quite a bit.

But even then, something stuck in his mind.

"You're not taking him from me!"

"Ash...we need to talk."

Ash had just barely managed to handle the lightning bolt. Shielding when her emotions were jumping all over the place. She was just glad nothing had happened.

Ash though didn't like Michael's tone. Something seemed.... different.

"Yes?"

"Can we take this somewhere a little more private?"

Michael starts flying up, motioning to the top of a nearby building.

Ash nodded and gulped and counted to ten to help herself not panic as she used a flying incantation to get herself up there.

So much awkward. Did he hear her?

Of course he did. Damn it. There was no running from it.

When As made it to the rooftop, Michael was waiting there. Not as Firestorm, but as Michael Choi, short architect in training and oblivious oblivious person.

"Ash, there's something I'd like to know: Do you...have something for me?"

Okay, not the best words for it.

"What?"

The way he said it through her off balance. She hadn't ever expected him to notice. If he's paying attention this time? Her expression says yes.

Well, he could have worded that better.

"In the fight, when I was fighting the sleep, i heard you say something. She wouldn't take me form you. Something about the way you said it...I dunno. It makes me feel maybe you may care about me."

"Oh."

Ash is starting to blush now. "You heard that?"

Of curse he did. It was why he was asking questions. Now ash is going to just blush a little more. "I didn't think you'd pick up on that. You never noticed before."

"I did. And I didn't notice"

Michael really didn't know what to think. Ash had been a great friend, and after Traya he hadn't put any thought into women. At all. He was trying to process it.

"I-I don't...how long have you, y'know, had feelings for me?"

God damn, he feels like he's prying.

"Um." Ash thinks back and dips her head shyly.

"That I was aware of? Our third meeting. I think," she admits starting to retreat a little into being really shy. At least she isn't stammering now.

Their third meeting? That was when she met him at the school to apologize for blasting him in the face. Is having the cute princess (that he now is sure he Friends Zoned the instant he met her) admitting her feelings having an affect on him? Yes. Well...fuck.

"God damn it, I'm dense," Michael says as he reaches forward, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Well, at the very least I owe you a night out for saving my ass there going for that long with it. I owe it to you."

"Well it's not like I was very open about it," Ash pointed out. "I was very... uncertain. There were cultural issues that have been since resolved."

Ash tensed up for a moment when he put his hand on her shoulder. Her nerves made her flight or fight mode still very active and Michael was lucky she hadn't just teloported away. She had thought of doing that for a second.

"She could have killed you," Ash pointed out as if that was the worst thing ever.

"I know she could have. You did damn good. Hell, I'd say you did impressive considering who that was. So you deserve some time for fun."

Michael is going to keep the hand there for support.

At least she didn't start stammering again. Ash gave him a puzzled look though. Maybe she just didn't understand him?

"What.... exactly do you mean by that?" She's not sure what to think. Maybe she's being the dense one now.

"Oh!" Now it makes much more sense. But Ash is blanking out on things she'd like to do or try.

"I'm not sure what I'd like to do actually." She bites her lower lip in thought.

"What about going to the Guggenheim? I've never actually gone into a surface world museum before.... well. No. There was that time in Egypt but there were monsters eating security guards."

"Well, there'll be far less security guard eating, that's for certain."

Michael feels the smile happen. It was very natural, maybe because now the realization was actually hitting him: Ash cared for him. Enough to put her life on the line to protect him. That says a lot and it's really endearing to him.

"Want to try next weekend?"

Ash blinked then nodded and smiled. She had the sudden realization that she should try to find something nice to wear.

Because that wasn't a 'just friends smile'. Ahem. "That sounds like a good plan."

The Princess shifts slightly.

"And now I should probably go. I kind of nearly drained all my magic fighting le Fey.I need to go sleep the sleep of the dead. S-Sorry. But she's um..." Scary powerful.
