Running and thinking (open)
A sunny Saturday Morning in New York and while most people are sleeping in or watching cartoons, Alex Rice-Matthews is out and active. He's no bodybuilder but the JSA's green lantern likes to stay in shape. That means hard work. and sweating.

As such, he's jogging through a park this warm and sunny day. In green and black, he's been out there for awhile. Sunglasses covering his eyes and ear buds bringing some music from the MP3 player in his pocket, the young hero seems a bit lost in thought. He thinks about his team, the weird Toyman thing he fought, and that Goldstar guy. Mostly about that Goldstar guy actually. The green haired hero had been on Alex's mind since they met fighting Toyman. There was just something about him.

Eventually, Alex comes to a stop by a bench and unclips the water bottle hanging from his belt. He checks his watch as he takes a swig of the refreshingly cool liquid. "Woo. Been out here a bit longer than I thought," he says to no one in particular, popping one ear bud out and moving to sit on the bench for a bit.

Scott thinks to himself. He grins back. "Well, that and dinner." He lets out a small laugh. Flirting out of the suit. Very weird. Scott notices the sweaty sweatiness of Alex's sweat and looks at him.

"Fair enough. I'm normally leaving the small amount I do to lifting televisions and the treadmill in the lab so I can keep working." Scott stretches. "So what's new with you?"

Alex rolls his eyes and chuckles. For a moment he considers asking Scott out but for some reason he's not entirely certain of, he doesn't.

"Hey, before I got the green, I was training to get into our work without anything super," he admits. "So I made sure I was in shape. And I saw no reason to break the habits," he adds.

"Not too much. Pretty sure I convinced my Dads to move out this way instead of commuting. Fought some monster calling itself Toyman with Shazam and this guy named Goldstar."

	"Goldstar... oh, yeah. The other guy. Haven't seen him in a few weeks. Look cooler than me. I fixed some watches and stopped some two bit thugs." Scott stretches and cracks his neck. "Hey, while you're jogging around, you're more than welcome to stop by the shop when you wanna rest. Get you some juice or a smoothie from the fridge." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You've met him?" Alex asks, curious now. "Only two bit thugs? Makes me wonder if things aren't going to start happening..." he trails off. He shakes the feeling off though. Watching the stretching, Alex grins. "Thanks, man. A smoothie sounds like a great idea. I just brought water." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Eh, he stopped by the shop a while back. Seen him once or twice just to say hello. And yeah, come on. We'll get a smoothie, and I just got some pastrami from Mr. Schmeindrich's deli down the street." Scott gets up and dusts himself off and opens his phone. "Just gotta tell Scooter you're coming. Him and Handy should get everything cleaned up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex nods and gets up. "Sounds good to me," he says, stretching. There's a pause and Alex quirks an eyebrow. "Handy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Robotic arm I use to hand me tools and drinks while I'm working. He's a nice fellow, but bad for conversation." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex laughs a bit and nods. "Alright," he says, shaking his head. "Lets get going," he says, gesturing for the other to lead the way. (Reply to this)(Parent)
