Target Practice
BAM. BAM. BAM. BAM.

Four shots and Del pressed the button to bring the target close so she could inspect her work. Every day she took time to come down to the shooting range to practice. Daddy said you could never practice too much when it came to shooting weapons. Del had learned from him and had picked up firearms rather easily. It was in the blood.

She looked at the target. Four perfect shots. Two in the head and two in the heart. The grouping was excellent as the holes were almost on top of each other.

She smiled and put up a new target.

	Del nodded her thanks. "Are you two an item?" she asked. It never hurt to ask. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He laughs. "No. If we were, I'd have told you up front. Alice and I like a lot of the same things, including good food and great sex. I'm approaching the point of calling her a friend. I don't have many of those. But there's no rings, no ties, and no expectations involved." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Del nodded. "Gotcha," she said as she followed the hostess to a table. "I'm glad it works out for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He shrugs. "Don't know about the future, but its easiest with the job. Keep things casual. If you're not comfortable working together and going out on the side, let me know. I am capable of being professional too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Did I say I would have a problem working with you? I don't recall doing that. I am perfectly comfortable working with you. It was a night together. Nothing more than that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He nods. "Just trying to preempt any problems. If you weren't willing to work with me, that last meeting probably would have been more tense. I also know myself - let me get away with it, and I'm a flirt who rather enjoys those nights together here and there. If you want me to cool it, you just need to let me know. Otherwise, well, I did ask you out to lunch and all."

	She thought about his words for a moment. She leaned on an elbow and rubbed her chin. "How about we play it by ear? See what happens on a day to day basis?" She didn't want to make any kind of commitment, not even one for flings. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	heytheredelilah 2010-04-29 06:40 am UTC (link)
	He nods. "That works fine for me. Outside of studies, that's pretty much how I tend to live anyway. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to be causing you any problems." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	electrified 2010-04-29 06:44 am UTC (link)
	"Thank you. I appreciate the concern," she said with a smile. "By the way, how much downtime do you usually get? Kind of want to know what I'm going to be stuck with and see if I need to pick up some hobbies." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Depends. I'm on call all the time, 24-7, and they ask that I stay within two hours of base. But then I'm a special case, they try and keep a leash on me. They do give me time to study, and, obviously, when I'm not actually up to something, my time is my own as long as I'm inside the roaming area, and have my phone on. If you let them get away with it, they'll put you to twelve hour days though."

	"I'll keep all of that in mind," she said. "I guess I'll have to find a hobby or two. Maybe I'll explore New York a bit. Never really been here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Little bit of everything here. I could help show you around if you want? As for timing though, just expect a lot of travel, and a lot of odd hours." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	One side of her mouth pulled back into a smile. "I'd like that. It'd be nice to have a friendly face show me around." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you. I appreciate it. How far is Westchester from the city? Do you know? I would like to get out there at some point. My parents have ties to the X-Men." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	heytheredelilah 2010-04-29 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Not far, about thirty minutes by the train to White Plains, fifty driving, depending on traffic. Not sure exactly where their school is out there, but shouldn't be hard to figure out. My dad has some contacts there too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	electrified 2010-04-30 02:26 am UTC (link)
	"That's not too bad. I may get out there one day." She wasn't in a rush. She really didn't have any reason to go out there outside of being curious. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
