Love Is in the Air (open to all)
Drink to me, only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine ;
Or leave a kiss but in the cup,
And I'll not look for wine.
The thirst, that from the soul doth rise,
Doth ask a drink divine :
But might I of Jove's nectar sup,
I would not change for thine.

I sent thee late a rosy wreath,
Not so much honoring thee,
As giving it a hope, that there
It could not wither'd be.
But thou thereon didst only breathe,
And sent'st it back to me :
Since when it grows, and smells, I swear,
Not of itself, but thee. Ben Johnson

	She's starting to smile about that. "Sounds like my kinda thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He smiles offers her his arm for the teleport there (he doesn't have any other transport). Apart from forgetting his name on the card this was so far better than expected.

"Dinner first then? I got a reservation..." He didn't mention that he'd run into the owner the other week and had helped the man with a shipping problem (truck was hijacked of all things), and had gotten them a private corner where she wouldn't need to worry about people staring. It seemed like this hero thing wasn't bad at times, people seemed to want to help you back.

	"Sure. I could eat," she drawls while fighting off a smirk as she slips her arm around his. She's trying really hard to not sound dirty when she says that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He beams and teleports them to a side entrance of the restaurant where he knocks on the door. "I didn't want people bothering you for stuff and it's not fun to have to teleport us away in the middle of dinner so the owner was nice enough to get us a private corner after I helped him out," he explains.

The owner does soon come to the door and they get led to a table that's private enough so that nobody will be staring but the lively atmosphere of the place can still be felt and heard. "You said you liked meat stuff so I thought..." He rubs the back of his head hoping he did something right at least.

	"Thanks. Don't like people staring," she rumbles in that tone that's very much her. "But our own corner? Really nice of him." When they're seated Jess flashes him a warm look. "Yeah. I got pretty simple tastes. This place looks real good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well...I helped him with a problem he had so he was pretty nice about helping me back," Harry smiles.

He scans the menu with a small smile he can't seem to get off his face, she'd agreed to go on a date with him and he was still riding that high. "I was going to go for the ribs but everything here looks good."

"Haven't gone to too many restaurants around here. I mean I tried exploring the city obviously but it's different if you're not living here. How'd you like Chicago?" He's curious because he's aware he may be the one member on their team that hasn't moved to the HQ, although he spent so much time there it was like home anyway.

	"....It's too cold," Jess says after a moment. "I grew up for a little bit in Texas. Spent most of my life in Coast City. Both places don't get cold like this city does... feel like I'm wearing two or three extra layers," she huffs softly. "I.... guess I'll go with the rib eye," she decides. "Ain't in the mood for anything real big. Just something tasty." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah I understand. Chicago gets colder than Keystone pretty often. Lucky I try and stay indoors. But Chicago's not too bad from what I've seen."

The waiter comes rather quickly and they order their drinks and food. "Texas though...I've never been there. What's it like?" It's interesting learning more about her, and with all the craziness in their lives within the last year, one kind of forgot about everything that came before.

"I don't really remember enough to give you a good picture but.... Flat. Hot and warm too. I grew up like forty minutes away from Dallas. Was a nice enough area, my Mom's Dad has a farm. Don't do.... Sorry. It doesn't do that well compared to some of the bigger places. But its nice. I go to visit sometimes," she explains.

"I think he wishes he had grandsons. I only have female cousins."

	Harry blinks a bit at the apology, after all it's he who always does the unnecessary 'sorry's. "Sorry for what? You don't need to change how you talk." He sips his drink thoughtfully, "Is your family at least close though? I mean he doesn't need grandsons if he has better granddaughters I think." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm just used to trying to blend in with the Yanks. Fer some real stupid reason people with Southern accents get treated like they're stupid," she fights the urge to spit that out. "Me and my folks are. And I like Granddd enough.... my cousins just ain't exactly what you'd call farm material. The hours are crap, ya know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You don't need to do that now though. I don't think you're stupid Jess, so don't worry about how you talk." He really just wants her to comfortable around him, although he is aware that telling someone they don't need to try to blend in is a little ironic considering he spends a lot of time doing just that.

"I can imagine," he chuckles. "Sounds nice though, having a close family. Do you visit on holidays?" He really didn't know what that was like, but he imagined it'd be a nice thing.

"No farm relatives I've visited, so I guess I got off lucky on the work hours," he jokes.

	"It's a habit.... For someone whose power is based off of Will Power, I can sure be a bit silly when it comes to issues regardin' my self confidence," she comments. "Sometimes. Dad can't always get time off 'cause he's a cop." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-02-18 04:49 am UTC (link)
	"Just a little," he teases. Harry doesn't know what to say about that for a moment. The last time he'd had any contact with his father had been years ago. "That's rough. But you can always spend the holidays with the team. I know I'm usually free." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-02-18 05:00 am UTC (link)
	"The team is.... easier, honestly," she admits. "Don't get me wrong. I love my family but I think my parents are still really sad about everything that happened." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-02-18 05:09 am UTC (link)
	"I understand, sometimes it's easier not to deal with that stuff and just be around people who'll get it." He shoots her a small smile, "And besides, I'm sure your dad is proud. Being a superhero is kind of like a cop in some ways. Just more colourful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-02-18 05:53 pm UTC (link)
	"Well..... It ain't exactly that. They worry. I don't. I ain't exactly the type to get all nervous over what hasn't happened yet," she explains finally letting her natural drawl come out a bit more. "Don't make sense to worry over that anyways." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-02-18 05:56 pm UTC (link)
	"Hey well I can do enough worrying for the both of us," he smiles. "I'm quite good at it." He imagined his mother might worry if she knew about this whole superpower thing but, he certainly wasn't going to be telling her about it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-02-18 06:06 pm UTC (link)
	"You don't need to," she points out. Somewhat shyly she reaches over to touch his hand. She's not even sure what she's really doing right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-02-18 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm a worrier anyway." He blushes a bit at the contact but tells himself he's been working on blushing less. It's not working too well though. "Someone has to right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-02-18 06:20 pm UTC (link)
	"If you say so," now she's fighting off a big grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-02-18 06:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Well I have to be good at something," he jokes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-02-18 07:40 pm UTC (link)
	"You're good at.... stuff." Oh man she feels lame. "You know more about what other people on this team like and need than anyone else. Yer damn observant." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-02-18 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	He blushes but chuckles a little, "Thanks. But that's only because you learn to do that if you've spent most of your life listening. Besides, Cindy is much better at the whole 'team likes and needs' thing. Have you seen the pantry?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
