Good Food, Good Times
Justin Rhdoes is tired of lying in a hospital bed. His sister (he's still getting used to that) has had a tougher time of it than he has, so he doesn't think it's right for him to stay cooped up in a bed. After showering, getting dressed and "asking" to be allowed some time to himself, Justin takes Tony, his A.I., and decides to go see New York for himself.

He's still awed at how new everything looks here. This isn't a world ravaged by battle and bombs, and the people walk around here without a care in the world for their safety. Justin's awed by all of it, never having seen this many people in a single place that weren't hiding for their lives. After several blocks of walking, though, Justin feels fatigue set in. He curses his weak heart for the millionth time, and decides that food and drink are in order, since all he's eaten is infirmary food over the last week. He's got a bit of money as well, a gift from Rhodey.

He still doesn't know if the man likes the idea of having a son, and he still hasn't meet Miss Potts, his mother.

"Tony, locate nearest restaurant. I want a burrito." he says. He hasn't had a burrito in months.

Minutes later, he's in line at a place called Chipotle, trying to decide if he wants steak or pork.

He's tempted to order both.

Justin blinked again.

"Emma Frost...is your mother?" Justin says quizzically. He doesn't know the Emma Frost of this universe, but the Emma Frost he knew was a hero. She saved a lot of people, including him.

"You can really do something with a watch? Okay, this I've to see." he says, taking off his watch.

"Don't worry about Tony. He's getting deactivated tonight." Justin says.

"Yeah. Emma Frost is my Mom. I know. I look nothing like her. Except for the hair. I have her real hair color."

She reaches out and takes his watch when offered, moving her food aside and placing the watch on the table. Chris looks at it for a moment and one could all but see the wheels turning in her mind.

"Oh yeah, this will be easy. Mind if I put my phone number in the contact list I'm gonna build you? You'll be able to use your watch as a cell phone when I'm done."

She winked at him and rested her fingertips on the face of the watch. She was already weaving.

"Uh,sure. Go for it." he says with a smile. A contact list in his watch? He was going to have to find a way to incorporate this into his armor.

"So, what else are you into besides fixing random guys' watches over burritos?"

"You're not random. Your my burrito hero." She grinned as she worked and took a drink of her soda.

"Messing with technology obviously. I wish I had my iPod with me. I have really tricked it out. Um. I like music. I listen to it as much as I can when I'm not training. I need to broaden my horizons a bit. I grew up with a lot of classical, but there's some great jazz in this city.

"What about you?"

"I thought you said you were staying out of my head." he grins. "I grew up on classical and jazz....and the Beatles. Don't tell anyone, because they'll never believe you."

He blinks when she says there are Jazz clubs.

"Like...you mean places where people play only Jazz? Like all the time?" he asks. It's an odd question to ask and he knows it.

"I'm new around here." he adds as an after-thought.

"I'm totally not in your head." She smiles broadly. "Seems we have something in common. There absolutely are Jazz clubs, where people play only Jazz and all the time. There's a fantastic one about three blocks from here. I was planning on going tonight.

"Do you...want to go with me?"

Justin couldn't believe his awesome luck. Two hours out of bed and he's already got a date? A week after landing in this dimension?

Wow, this was going to make for a hell of story when he got home.

"Christina, I'd like that a lot. It would be fun." he says.

Crap, he's going to need more money. And clothes.

"Awesome. So where can I pick you up and what time will you be ready? Show's at nine, but maybe we could get dinner beforehand. I know this place that's amazing."

She smiled at him. Yeah, she just asked him out. And he was totally going with her. It'd been ages since she'd had a date and she was feeling pretty confident about this now. And damn...he's cute. Her smile got bigger as she handed him back his watch.

"It has a hologram projection that will run a tutorial for you. I recommend playing with it later."

He couldn't out the Avengers to her, because that would be a bad idea.

"How about we meet back here around seven? My relatives just moved, actually, and the house is a mess. My aunt would be mortified if I invited anyone over with the way the house is right now." he says.

"So, if we meet here, that would be a good idea." he says.

"Works for me, Justin. Here. Seven tonight. It's a date."

Special emphasis on date and she winked at him.

"I look forward to seeing you in a few hours."
