A slice of life in the Windy City
It was a pretty normal Sunday in Chicago, home of the New Guardians. Fortunately, for the novice super-heroes and possibly future guardians of humanity and the emotional spectrum, it had been a fairly quiet period for them, giving them time to live their lives, do a little heroing here and there, and otherwise do what they could.

A lazy Sunday, the perfect time for a baseball game on the television. Cubs vs. the Star City Rockets. Current score, Cubs 2, Rockets 1. Bottom of the fifth, two men on, two strikes, a long single and...

"SAFE?! How is that safe?! That ball was there way ahead of him!"

	"See, it all goes back to the fact that they haven't gone to the World Series in over a hundred years, but every year, fans in Chicago and around the country get their hopes up that this is their year." A beat. "And it never is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Whenever I want something to happen usually I make an internal bet with myself to do something I don't want to do if said-thing happens. Kind of a karmic trade-off," Lenny informs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well the day I told myself I'd actually try and take this superhero business seriously, I ended up stuck in an elevator with you." he revealed with a smirk. "So yeah, it does at times." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Heather leaned over and kissed him. "Well, I like that answer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He returns the kiss. "That's good to hear. Love's not my entity so my romantic dialogue is still a work in progress." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He chuckled before looking back at the tv. "Is that good?" he asked, pointing at a play. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, that's real good," Heather said. "It's a double play! See, the second basemen got the ball, tagged the runner out, and then threw to first to get the other guy out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lenny didn't really understand everything Heather said, but it was nice to see her so happy and excited so he went with it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All right," she went on. "Top of the sixth, and we're back to the top of the line up. Let's see some runs." (Reply to this)(Parent)
