Movie Interrupted!
"Okay!" Heather called into the rest of the complex. "DVD player's finally set up! We've got movie night!"

Things had been going rather well for her and her fellow Lights. The art show had made her more money than she'd ever had at one time in her life, her parents had somehow managed not to find out, she'd sold a piece to Ralph Dibny and his wife who'd happened to be in Chicago and had used to live in Opal, and had spent a portion of Valentine's Day faintly high off the love fumes.

Which really explained the charge she sometimes got around Cindy and Saishu or Harry and Jess.

Ganthet showed up on his own schedule, getting them to work with their powers or offering some kind of abstract philosophy.

And most of the time, she didn't feel like crying when she looked in the mirror. Pretty good.

	If Heather were to ask, Andy would have been one to assist with the connecting of electronics. But after the incident with the first DVD player, she wasn't allowed to touch anything. "Is set-up functional?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lenny didn't say anything when he wheeled his way in. He was still getting used to the whole "team" thing. Not easy to do when you've spent most of your life in solo activities. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I made chicken wings," Jess says as she starts setting up trays and such. She likes cooking things that can be eaten easily. Too bad Heather can't eat and she has no idea if Andy can either. "I.... have a soft spot for The American President, honestly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've got... Crazy, Stupid Love, Date Night, and Dan in Real Life," Heather said, "if we wanna go for Rom-Coms." She shrugged a little. "I kinda like Steve Carrell." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lenny doesn't mention that he'd rather avoid romance if at all possible. He forces himself not to make a face upon seeing Jess and Harry. "Whatever works for you guys," he said neutrally. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Once they're ready, Harry teleports them off in a flash of indigo light to a rooftop not far from the fire. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Heather let out a gasp. The fire was raging out of control, threatening to spread to other buildings. "...Whoa..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2012-03-02 03:56 am UTC (link)
	"Lenny, let's help the evacuating responders. Heather, give me some big crystal walls there and there, both for structure support and to block the spread. Saishu, Jess, Andy, Get In There." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-03-02 04:07 am UTC (link)
	Lenny nods. he sends out calming waves of his power amongst the crowd. That would help prevent a panic and make people more inclined to evacuate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Saishu is moving about the time the words are being spoken. She leaps right towards the flames, unworried about the heat or stability. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andy is not far behind Saishu, the nanomachine skin getting burnt as Andy goes through the worst of the flames to get to those in need of saving. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Right, Cindy." And she is moving. Her whole body is protected in a close to her body shield that glows like a beacon as she flies in to start saving people. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Harry glances at Cindy waiting for his orders. "Do you want me in there too? Or they can get people to the roof and I can teleport them away..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jess goes a little wide eyed. Super heroes? What? They'd just been doing the right thing lady. Automatically she looks at Cindy. You tell them something Boss, please. Jess is actually nervous now. That's not normal for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2012-03-11 05:44 pm UTC (link)
	And Cindy smiles at the cameras. "We're very happy to help, and we're very happy to be here in Chicago. But of course, we'd also appreciate being given our space." She puts the emphasis on all the right places to imply 'hear that? Want local superheroes? Then Don't Crowd Us.' (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-03-11 05:50 pm UTC (link)
	Harry squirms, uncomfortable at all the attention, and sticks to the back of the group, aiming his face away from the cameras. He didn't think he was a superhero, no that was for brave people. He was just helping out. Thankfully they had a boss that knew how to handle this. Because if it was up to him they'd have all been long gone from here by now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andy is standing there, the artificial skin slowing being repaired as the nanomachines do their work. But at the question, Andy just stares and waits for others to respond. She doesn't have Social Skills. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lenny did his best to stay in the background. He conveyed an aura of calm to his teammates, hoping to ease any growing tensions. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
