A bar, vodka and girl talk.
Irina had felt like the walls of the Champions' HQ were closing in. While she got out and around the world on grocery shopping trip, she felt like she had been in one place too long. It was time to get out of the place and explore New Orleans a bit. Funny how she traveled all over the world on a regular basis and she had yet to really explore the city she now lived in.

Though she didn't feel like going alone. She wanted company and she knew who she could ask. She grabbed Lyta and the two of them hit the town.

They didn't get much farther than a neighborhood bar.

The two women were perched on bar stools. Irina had a shot glass and a bottle of Stoli in front of her.

	Lyta nodded. "She is. Eliza told me, she seemed very excited about it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A birth is always a good reason to be excited. Though we did not expect it to be the former tsarina. We had hoped it would be the future tsarina. We still hope she has a child to ensure the succession." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think her pregnancy came as both a surprise and a shock, to be honest. But yes, hopefully the tsarina will have children of own too, someday soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Here's to future births," she said and held up her shot glass. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Cheers," Lyta said, grinning, clinking her shot glass against Irina's before downing another shot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2010-04-23 06:03 am UTC (link)
	"Can I ask a question?" Irina asked after she downed the shot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ask away." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Why do you do this? After all the stuff that has happened to you with Apocalypse, you are still here. Your family has a company you could be working at and learning how to run. So why still be out on the front lines?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It just...feels right, I guess. I've been doing it for so long, it would feel, I don't know, weird if I just..quit. I've been through a lot, but then again, so have a lot of others in 'the business'. If I left suddenly, I'd feel like I was giving up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2010-04-24 12:28 am UTC (link)
	Irina nodded. "I understand. Thank you." More and more she had been questioning her reasons for being here and doing what she did. She had a job back in Russia with the Winter Guard she could go back to anytime she wanted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If I helped, I'm glad I could." Lyta downed another shot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was curious," she admitted. She poured another shot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-04-24 12:58 am UTC (link)
	"Nothing wrong with a little curiosity." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2010-04-24 01:03 am UTC (link)
	"I would disagree. It is most often curiosity that gets people in trouble." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It did kill the cat. But in some cases, it's not a bad thing to have." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2010-04-24 01:14 am UTC (link)
	"Too much can be a problem. I was always curious. Too curious for my own good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-04-24 01:24 am UTC (link)
	"Aaah. Got you in a lot of trouble, huh?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2010-04-24 01:31 am UTC (link)
	Irina smiled and nodded. "A bit. There were a few worlds where I had to make a very quick getaway. I wanted to see what was out there and I did." She downed her shot. "It is how I met Nicholas." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-04-24 01:39 am UTC (link)
	"You found Nicholas in another dimension?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2010-04-24 01:47 am UTC (link)
	"Yes. He had been imprisoned there. I opened a random portal and he was there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-04-24 01:49 am UTC (link)
	"Perhaps it was a good thing that you were curious. If it wasn't for you, he'd still be stuck there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Maybe it was fate or something. When I freed him we learned of the plot by Pluto." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-04-24 02:17 am UTC (link)
	"Yes. And then you assembled the Champions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2010-04-24 02:22 am UTC (link)
	"Not on purpose," she said. "It was needed to defeat Pluto. It worked out." She paused. "I think." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-04-24 02:36 am UTC (link)
	"It worked, and we're now a team. I'd say everything's going swimingly right now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
