Catching up with pop culture
There's pizza on the coffee table, two two-liter bottles of Diet Coke, a big bowl of popcorn, and a gallon of Americone Dream in the freezer with Molly and Sarah's names on it. Molly "reserved" the lounge for the evening, and after going through all of the movies in the Mansion, assembled a pretty decent pile of movies that she thought Sarah would enjoy. A couple of Disney, some chick flicks, an action movie or two, and since Molly was feeling brave, she might as well throw in the original Nightmare On Elm Street while she was at it.

She finished setting up comfy pillows along the sofa, and grabbed the quilt from off her bed. She was dressed in her comfiest pajamas and ready for a night of vegging in front of the t.v. and indulging in junk food. She'd left a note earlier on Sarah's door to meet her downstairs in the lounge, in her pajamas and ready for a full night of movie-watching.

Molly grinned, looking at her set-up. For her first "girl's night in", she'd done a pretty good job. Now, all she needed was Sarah and she'd be all set.

	Sarah smiles, leaning over to gently nudge Molly with a shoulder, since her good arm is occupied. It'll do in place of a hug for now. Self-reliant as she is, having some help with stuff like serving food while her other arm heals is a big help. "I'm sure you would. You seem to have settled in pretty well here at the school, too."

	Molly will nudge her right back, as she took a bite of pizza. "I have. Of course, I have a bunch of really great people here to thank for that. Everyone really helped me get into things really quickly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She finished the first slice of pizza quickly, balancing the plate on her lap to get a second slice, and trying to maneuver things about to get some diet coke to go with it. "What're you planning to do when you graduate?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Molly took a couple of bites of her pizza, before pouring two glasses of Diet Coke for her and Sarah. "I haven't given it a lot of thought, I guess. I'd be perfectly happy to do the whole hero thing for the rest of my life, but even superheroes need a day-job, right?" She took another bite of pizza. "I may not have a career in mind, but I know someday, I want to be a Mom. But as for post-grad stuff before than, not a clue. Though I think I can see myself as a teacher...maybe."

	"You have a boy in mind yet?" she asks, slightly teasing tone in her voice at the mention of wanting kids. "And I don't know about it not being a day job. Worthington and Xavier and such have a stipend for the X-Men. The Avengers is a paying job. If that didn't work out though, you'd make a good teacher, I think." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Molly nodded. "I don't know, it used to be Wolverine, but ever since he shot me down when I was eleven, I've been stuck on square one." She laughed. "Thanks. I think I'd like it. Teaching. What about you? Any possible future plans?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Total daddy's girl, I think in one fashion or another, I'm pretty much an Avenger for life. Between the legacy thing, and the fact that when Mjolnir accepts you, its not something you put down, I'm pretty sure heroing is what I was meant to do. So professional life is easy. Personal life... kind of utter chaos, which I'm sorry you had to see any of." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Molly nodded. "It's okay," she said, giving her a one-armed hug, shifting the plate holding her pizza over to another arm. "We all have our ups and downs, I guess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, having a huge crush on a straight girl with a boyfriend when I'm still hiding in the shoes at the bottom of the closet isn't exactly a high point." she replies with a small sigh. "Doesn't help with future plans any either." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Maybe... you need to get out in the dating field more? I can't give the best advice there. But yeah, from the little that I do know, unrequited love sucks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, I don't exactly know many people, and I'm not that... uhm, out yet. I've never really had any experience, and its kind of... well, I don't know, I keep feeling like I'm falling somewhere short of that whole All-American girl thing. I'm kind of a wallflower... and how do you even know... you know?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have no idea. I guess you just...know. Not that's very helpful." She sighed. "Karolina was nervous about 'coming out' at first, too. But eventually, she felt comfortable enough to tell us. I think it's just a matter of being comfortable enough in your own skin to confide in others." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She nods. "I certainly don't 'know'. I remember someone mentioning something about gaydar, and Anya took me to a club once, but its not really my scene... and I like more feminine girls. Its kind of nervous, and kind of... I'm Captain America's daughter, it kind of just doesn't fit... but its me. That much, at least, I've figured out. Now if I just knew a nice gay girl as nice as you, I'd be all set."

	She blushed. "Thanks...I guess." She took a bite of pizza. "You'll find someone. I'm one of those sappy people that believes that there's a soulmate out there for everyon, we just need to find them. Who knows, you may meet someone one day and just...click." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're probably right, I certainly have no clue. But then the super hero life doesn't leave a lot of time for a social life anyway." she replies, finishing off another piece of pizza. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aaah, the glamorous life of the cape world. All work...and not much play. Unless you count punching stuff as play." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2010-02-26 04:46 am UTC (link)
	"Not usually, but with a good training room, learning to punch people, hitting the super strength weight machines, tactical flying practice, that's play. I can't wait to get into shape to try the danger room." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princessbruiser 2010-02-26 04:50 am UTC (link)
	Molly laughed. "I consider play to be something along the lines of playing a video game, but I guess to each his own. Though sometimes training sessions in the danger room can be really fun..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2010-02-26 04:53 am UTC (link)
	"I get it from dad. Plus, when there's no tv, no movies, no video games, and super heroes get to decide everything you do, I guess training kind of turned into all the games, for me, anyway. Some of the others were a lot more relaxed about it. Maybe you can show me some of your games though? If I get into the danger room, you might not see me for weeks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princessbruiser 2010-02-26 05:02 am UTC (link)
	Molly nodded. "I will. They aren't really 'mine', they're the school's, but I have a couple that I'm fond of." She grinned. "Tonight isn't about video games, though. That's another night all together. Tonight is movie night!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2010-02-26 05:03 am UTC (link)
	"It is, and I'd probably be terrible at video games one handed anyway. So, what're we watching first?" she replies cheerfully. Movies are obviously a popular choice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hmm..." Molly scanned through the pile. "Princess Bride sound good to start off with?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Consider me no-frame-of-reference-lass for a bit. I don't know, but I'm curious about the quote. You have total control over movies, I'll just sit here nicely and share your popcorn." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Princess Bride it is then!" Molly smiled, standing up to quickly to pop the movie in the DVD player before snuggling back on the couch. "Oh, almost forgot..." she grabbed two of the pillows and propped one behind Sarah's head, and one behind hers before grabbing the quilt and placing it over their legs. "I can fix the pillow for you, if it's not comfy enough for you."

	She grins. "I can manage the pillow, its just all those silly things you take for granted with two hands. Its great though, and you're wonderful, thanks." she replies, sliding in closer to Molly to make sharing the quilt easier. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
