A surprise visit!
"Knock, knock! Anyone home in here?" Alex Rice-Matthews calls as he steps into the HQ of the Justice Society of America. Now, it's not strange that he does so. The kid spent a lot of time growing up there, is the grandchild of a founder, and the son of a former member. He's been there a lot.

What is different is the red and green uniform he's got on complete with his grandfather's logo on his chest. And the bright green ring on his finger. He's been doing his best to keep the fact that Grandpa Alan gave him his ring secret, wanting to surprise everyone. And now he's ready to reveal it, confident he's been training hard enough.

"Don't tell me everyone rushed out without me," he laughs and he closes the door behind him and looks around.

Steven grins. "Well, either my memory on the topic will be flawed, and I'll suck at it, or else I'm a great swimmer. Unless, you know, your cousin in a swimsuit is playing lifeguard. Then I might suck anyway." he replies with a wink.

"Pizza and french fries, sounds perfect. I have a lot of movies to catch up on too. Maybe we can talk the others into a movie night, since there's so many new arrivals."

	Alex shakes his head after finishing off his slice of pizza. "Watch it or I'll get Warhawk to be your personal lifeguard," he teases with a smirk, hoping the name is enough. "Sounds good to me," the Green Lantern agrees. "There are some good flicks around these days. And there will almost definitely be ice cream." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Obviously doesn't know the name, but gets the idea. "Duly watching it." he replies with a laugh. "Well, I've missed out on almost everything. I also know ice cream is supposed to be really good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex nods. "She's still family," he remarks simply as his reasoning. "Hopefully the others know more about the flicks," he says, sipping his soda. "I've been spending most of my free time this past year working on getting even better with this ring." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods. "Don't worry, for all the running commentary, I'm still a Garrick. If she is single, I promise I'll be a perfect gentleman. And if she's not, I'll back off." he agrees readily enough. "I could see that. I can only imagine it takes some getting used to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Cool, cool," Alex nods. "She'd kick your speedy little butt if you weren't," he jokes. "Oh yeah. Took me a bit to get the hang of it but I'm the best ring-slinger since my grandfather himself," he declares confidently. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh yeah, I have no doubt she can take care of herself." he agrees. "And... well, I'll have to take your word for it, since you're the only Green Lantern I know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sure you'll get to meet Gramps eventually, especially since him and Mr. Garrick are friends," Alex remarks, crushing his empty soda can with a glowing green compactor. "So, you going to join up with the superhero stuff or just live fast and easy?" he asks curiously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I hadn't given it a lot of thought, honestly. But it seems like I should do the super hero thing. Seems kind of natural, at this point." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Awesome, dude," Alex declares with a grin. "Ya can hook up here with the JSA like me, Mickey, and the rest." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2010-04-08 05:50 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, no question there. If I'm going to do the hero thing, it'll definitely be with the JSA." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The best team to be on," Alex declares with a grin. "Don't need to be no League," he laughs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, it seems like a good team too from Wally and Barry's impressions, but they have Jai, and Dad has always been JSA." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notthelantern 2010-04-08 06:06 pm UTC (link)
	"Jai?" Alex blinks a moment. "Oh yeah, their speedster. I remember now," he says with a chuckle. "They're alright but any team with someone as awesome as me has gotta be better," he says, grinning. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, at least this team doesn't lack for confidence." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notthelantern 2010-04-08 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Hey, I'm the Green Lantern. All confidence and willpower, dude," Alex remarks, giving a quick spin. "Hmm. Gonna need to get you a costume too." (Reply to this)(Parent)
