Karaoke Night
Maria's social life had taken a huge hit with the undercover gig and working at Wayne Enterprises. What social time she did have she saw Tomas a few times. She finally got a free night and it was time to pick on a favorite target. She called Jon and told him to meet her at her favorite karaoke bar and to bring his little sister and Alina if he were inclined.

She thought about dragging Thomas, but decided to give him a break. She could use the good karma later.

	Jon grins at Jo's assessment - easier than talking while Maria is going all out on her flirty songs, really. "Yeah, you'll do fine." he assures Alina. "And I'm looking forward to meeting your family." he responds, glancing up to nod gratefully to Maria as she comes back with the next round. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course she'll do fine. If anything weird's going to happen, it'll be our trying to illustrate you're not really indignity-proof." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh, I'm sure it will be," Alina says, shaking her head. "But I'm still the one going hi, I'm dating your son, to the woman who looked at the Big S and went yeah, I can take this guy in a fight over who's turn it is to do the dishes."

She points at Jon and Jo. "Your mother has whatever the female equivalent is to cojones the size of Texas, and being nervous about meeting her is entirely reasonable." Under the table, she hooks a foot around Jon's calf. "Fortunately, I like you too much to chicken out."

	Jon is about to speak - pausing a second when she starts playing footsie - then continues. "Oh no, Dad won that fight. He does the dishes every night, just like he was raised to do in Smallville. Who has to vacuum is where they argue - or hand it off to one of us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria just chuckled. Parents could be inventive when it came to getting kids to do chores. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alina sticks her tongue out at Jon. "My point still stands, regardless of the actual reality of the matter." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-07-19 04:14 am UTC (link)
	Jon chuckles at that. "And the overall point still stands. You'll do fine, and they'll love you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So who's up next and what song are you doing?" Maria asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Much as I'd like to shove Alina up there some more, perhaps it's time to pick up the pace with a little thermonuclear conflict," Jo declared perkily as she skipped up to the mic and started singing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'll put my name in again, but I think they're drawing from a fish bowl," Alina calls after Jo with a laugh. She leans against Jon's arm, idly wondering if Jo speaks German or if she's just good at faking it.

She prods Maria under the table with her foot. "So how are you doing? I took the topic and ran with it before you ever got around to answering your own question."

	"I'm good," Maria said and nudged Alina's foot back. "I'm sort of seeing someone. If you call seeing him more than once or twice as seeing someone." She wasn't sure what was going on with Tomas, but it was fun for however long it lasted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Really? Hey, congratulations." Jon starts, then notes his name being called. He gives Alina a light, one-armed squeeze as he stands and heads up, before taking the barstool on stage for his performance. His voice drops a bit lower, not quite a duplicate, but a solid tribute to Christian Kane. (Reply to this)(Parent)
