You're Invited...
A few days later (after Heather had returned from Opal with Jess and Harry), mail arrived at the New Guardians headquarters (or their PO box, anyway). They'd left a couple ways to get a hold of them after the fire rescue, though none that would disrupt their privacy, at least, not yet.

It was an invitation to appear at a charity ball that was being hosted to raise money for the victims of the fire.

This got a team meeting. "So...." Heather asked. "Do we go?"

	Cindy turned back to Saishu. "There's going to be a big fancy party to raise money for the people who lost their homes in the fire. We're invited." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So... we're going then?" Heather ventured. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Harry smiles his thanks at Jess. She managed to pull him out of his own little world that he'd been plunging into to avoid this situation. But that didn't get him out of attending this thing. And he's quite sure that as long as everyone else is going, he couldn't not go. He's not looking too pleased at this whole situation. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lenny notes Harry's reaction. "For the sake of security, a couple of us should probably stay here to man the place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She had been concerned with him withdrawing. But then she starts to get it. Harry is nervous. "We all don't.... well. Do we all need to go? Are they expecting all of us?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Would like all of us. Are a team," Andy says, shifting her weight a bit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Andy's right. We're...we're a team. We should all go," he admits nervously. He didn't want them to change plans or worry about him. He could put up with this, and he certainly didn't want anyone to have to stay behind because of him. No, he'd go. And probably end up trying to blend in and not be noticed but that was his problem not theirs. There was never any point worrying people about his problems.

"Boss, could I...wear goggles or sunglasses or something?" He didn't think a mask would be appropriate. "I mean just...just to..." At that point he loses steam and just hopes his suggestion would be okay.

	"I... do not know party. No clothes for such things. Would... need to stay close to French or Arabic speaker... crowds very confusing." Saishu stumbles through the English, trying to participate in the overall conversation and voice her concerns, at least. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nobody has to go, but it'd be nice. Lenny, you and I can bring radio or iphones and check up on things just as easily there as here. Harry, of course you can. I can get you some good, classy shades if you need new ones." She turns to Saishu. "We'll get you something to wear, and I promise I won't leave you alone there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cindy's concern for Saishu registers as a slight pinkish glow for Heather, and she allows herself a small smile. Someone out there for everyone. ...Except maybe crystal freaks. She forces the smile to return. "Sounds like a plan then." (Reply to this)(Parent)
