I think you're awesome... just don't tell anyone.
Time for another secret meeting of the cousins braintrust. Its just a little different this time.

For one thing, Mikal is there early, instead of the typical five to ten minutes late. He needed to be early, he had some things to get ready. Her favorite soda was easy - different, because usually when he sneaks the drinks in, its either usually his dad's beer, or his favorites. This time, all hers. The cookies were harder. He burnt all three of his attempts, so he finally just broke down and bought three batches, once again, of her favorites.

She rolls her eyes but smiles. "He's giving me a run for my money. How am I gonna keep the serious rep if he's beating me at it?" More cookies now, these were good, he'd picked well.

"Other than that reckless and self centered arrow kid, who's going to be a full time job just to reign in, I think it's solid and diverse power-wise. Clara seems sweet, naive in an interesting way but very different sort of way from the martian girl. That's a confusing sort of naive, it's hard to know what to make of it. I know Clark, he's a good guy even if he's worse than you about charging into things. Seriously, right at Aunt Diana! And Jerry has good power control from what I saw, and a great getaway power to say the least."

She wags a cookie at him with a 'don't try and pull that over me' look. "And duh you want to work with Tula. You guys don't hide things well gotta say."

	"We were trying to hide things? Sorry, I have many, many diverse and wonderful talents, but subtlety isn't one of them. Good assessment though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well maybe not you...But yes, your lack of subtlety is astonishing some days. Though really, what did you expect from me? Bad assessments?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He grins. "With such a short list of notable shortcomings, its easy to keep track of them. And yeah, I'm not trying to be too subtle about it... just not announcing it either. And... well, no, not really. Just honest assessments." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Short list? There's a reason I had to just move it to a digital file. It was getting hard to carry the paper copy around," she teased. "Well, whatever suits you. Just watch yourself in case." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	apollos_bow 2013-03-26 05:11 am UTC (link)
	He grins. That was, of course, the expected result. "How about I watch Tula, and you watch me to make sure I don't cause /too/ much trouble?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You'd be watching her and any other female in spandex or swimwear even if I didn't say anything. And please, I always have to make sure you don't cause too much trouble. Though this case I'm going to have to find you before any cranky royal relatives of hers do. Don't make my job easy huh?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're so thoughtful," she quipped back, sarcasm obvious there. "Because potentially angry royal atlanteans is exactly what our lives were missing. Mine in particular." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He pats her on the shoulder in pretend sympathy. "I thought as much, and couldn't stand to have you coping with such a glaring lack. I'll try not to upset anyone too much though. Just for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm so glad to have such a selfless cousin," she says, rolling her eyes but still with a slight smile. "Well if you get dragged away from your makeout spot complain enough for show but it's because it's setting up an eventual contingency plan. Gotta get the buzzkill rep up so when royal relatives come knocking it's completely normal I'd get to you and drag you away first. Thank yous in cookies are very okay for that too," she adds, finishing off another.

	"So, the ideal plan here is I stock up on cookies, and we get into minor, little trouble - not enough to seriously anger anyone, but get some eyebrows raised and let you fly to the buzzkill rescue, so everyone buys you as ideal chaperone and will worry less?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thegirlwonder 2013-03-27 03:50 am UTC (link)
	"Exactly, which frees both of us up for the sort of skirting some rules and getting things we actually want done, all while lulling any supervisors into a false sense of security. The usual with us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Alright, so I make sure we get caught making out, but hands firmly in safe positions, or maybe forget to tell Dad about a date and sneak out, even if I wouldn't have any problem going if I mentioned it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Either or, maybe even both. It's not our first time pulling something similar after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	apollos_bow 2013-03-27 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	"Its true. First Atlantean princess though. But both sounds like fun. Sure, I'm up for pushing my luck a little. We'll have to make sure its somewhere you can get to easily." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Same principle at least. Relatively easily is fine, I don't think anyone would raise eyebrows at me being able to get into the less easy to reach places. Bat training meets flight. But as long as it's a good escape route in case needed too, you never know about royalty. I hear the king is real grouchy, the rest don't seem to be but you never know how they react to their little girl and a Harper. You guys have a reputation," she smirked slightly.
