The Green and the Blue
Rose hummed to herself as she wrapped presents. She sat at a long table, at the youth center that she volunteered at in downtown Metropolis. Today was the center's annual holiday party, and there were only a couple of hours left before the kids would arrive, and there was still a lot to be done.

Which was why she had invited Dex to help her. She wasn't entirely sure if he would show up, but she thought that it would be a good way for them to get to know each other outside of the Lantern business. Also, as Dex wasn't really familiar with Christmas, it would be a good way for him to get to know the holiday a little better.

And she also told him that there would be free food. Lots of it.

	"I think the whole superhero thing might have something to do with it." She grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm not a superhero," he said. "I just beat things up." He shook his head. "What else needs to be done?" he asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You to them," she said, "That's all that matters. And technically, superheroes do beat things up." "Not much else. We just help Santa hand out the presents to the kids." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fat dude in red, right? Do all kids get a gift on Christmas?" Dex asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I believe he prefers the term 'pleasantly plump," Rose said, "And yes, all the kids get gifts on Christmas. Well, technically, all the good boys and girls, and the naughty ones get coal, but Santa's flexible." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh," he said. "How does he know who has been naughty or nice?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He has a list," Rose said, "He checks it twice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dex blinked. "Huh. Strange. But I guess if it works." "So what do we need to do to help Santa?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We just need to grab the presents for him," she said. "They have nametags on them, so they shouldn't be all that hard to find for each kid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can handle that," he said. At least it wouldn't be too complicated. In all honesty, Earth baffled him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hopeburnsbright 2010-12-13 04:49 am UTC (link)
	"Pretty simple. We get cookies and pizza when we're done." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Cool," he said. "So do you live around here?" he asked. He didn't have the chance to get to know Rose as well as he got to know Maura. He knew she was on Earth and had helped him a few times in fights, but they hadn't spend any social time together. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose nodded. "Yup. I live in an apartment not too far from here with my Grandma and my younger brother, Jimmy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	green_lantern 2010-12-13 05:27 am UTC (link)
	Dex nodded. "It's good you have family an they're close," he said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hopeburnsbright 2010-12-13 05:44 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah," Rose said, nodding. "We're all we've got so it's good we're close. You should meet them, sometime. I'm sure they'd like you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	green_lantern 2010-12-14 07:36 am UTC (link)
	"I'm not the kind you want your family to meet," Dex said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hopeburnsbright 2010-12-15 01:11 am UTC (link)
	"I like you," she said. "I'm sure they would to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	green_lantern 2010-12-16 08:04 am UTC (link)
	"I'm not so sure of that," Dex said. "I ain't exactly the type for civilized company." (Reply to this)(Parent)
