Eat, Drink, And Be Merry!
“We’re here outside the Four Seasons Hotel in New York where the who’s who is gathered tonight. Celebrities, royals and superheroes have all turned out for the annual Maria Stark Foundation Winter Charity event benefiting Toys for Tots.

It’s truly an all-star gala here tonight.

New York’s own princess, Anya Stark, was seen being escorted by what appears to be her new flame, actor Austin Cain. Her brother and currently second in line to the Russian throne, Mikhail Romanov, was seen entering the party with Lyta Worthington, heiress to Worthington Industries. Tony and Natasha Stark, parents of a new baby, are making their first public appearance since the birth of their son.

Mackenzie Rider, a prince of the underwater kingdom of Atlantis, is escorting Ms. Andrea Denker of the Fantastic Four tonight. Kristoff Vernard, leader of the Fantastic Four, was seen in attendance with his wife Cassandra and their son Scotty. Vincent Amorason, heir to Latveria, arrived alongside his brother and was seen escorting a member of the Defenders, Asleif Thorsdottir. The rest of the Fantastic Four are here too with their dates, though Miss Valeria Richards is not in attendance. Franklin Richards is in attendance and is escorting one Miss Gill.

Los Angeles’ own superhero team, the Defenders are in attendance as well. Arriving with her team is Grace Danvers, daughter of Hollywood hunk Simon Williams and she is being escorted by teammate, Eiltin. The two Asgardian princesses and daughters of Thor, Asleif and Aridis, are also attending the festivities with their team.

	"Oh wow. I didn't even think about you and Mom both being here together." Andy chuckles. Then he chuckles a little more. "The two most important women in my life have the same name, sort of." Andy says. "If it's too much, you don't have to meet her tonight. I'll just find her, say hello and it doesn't have to be more than that." Andy says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And let her think she scares me? Oh no. I just want to take away the surprise factor by knowing for certain." She smiled and reached up to tug a bit at his collar. "I'll tell anybody, including your mother, that I'm pretty darn crazy about you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Mom's not really scary unless she's mad. Then it's best not to be in the same state until she's calmed down. Otherwise, she's pretty normal, even if she can turn green and throw tanks." he jokes.

Then he realizes that his words wouldn't be comforting to him if they were coming from someone else.

"I think Mom will really like you. Just promise that you'll stop listening if she decides to start telling stories about me as a child." he says.

	It wasn't comforting, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. "That's when I'll listen twice as hard. Does she carry pictures of you on a bearskin rug? I'll ask to see them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gammagodling 2010-12-19 04:34 am UTC (link)
	"There might actually be a bearskin rug picture, and no, you can't see it." Andy says. "Titan wanted to get Mom a real bearskin rug one year. He actually wanted to find the bear and make the rug. It took a lot to talk him down from the idea." Andy says. Would have been awesome. Walters, you better say hi to Magic Babe for me. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I imagine the reality of one is not as romantic as the idea. I like the image of a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace, but I accept that flannel and fleece are far more cozy." She leaned in to him as someone passed too close. "I bet she'd show it to me if I asked." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah, I bet she would, too." Andy says, pulling Jenny a bit closer to him. The last thing they needed was her power to go off by accident.

"Hey, you didn't tell me how long you were in town for. I was hoping we might have a little time together before you have to get back across the pond." Andy says.

"Besides...there's something important we need to talk about." he says quietly.

"I'm here for a few days." He was so tall that people naturally made a detour around him and it was safe standing inside his personal space. Cozy too. She could smell his aftershave and enjoy his warmth. Looking good in a silk sheath was one thing; it wasn't the warmest dress one could wear in December.

"I called ahead and had the apartment opened, with groceries and everything this time. Just in case you could stay a few days, too."

	"Excellent. That means I don't need to stay at the Waldorf-Astoria." Andy says. "And yes, I can stay a few days. What are your plans for Christmas next week? Are you and Rob spending it with the team?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tabula_rasa 2010-12-19 05:51 am UTC (link)
	She paused a moment to let it sink in that he would take their tiny apartment over the Waldorf-Astoria, and that he could say it so casually. "I have no real plans for Christmas. Rob is skiing with friends this year. Did you have anything in mind?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gammagodling 2010-12-19 06:09 am UTC (link)
	"In that case, I was hoping you'd spend Christmas with me. If you want to keep the apartment open, I can get a tree for all of your presents." Andy says. "Oops. I mentioned your presents, didn't I?" he asks, grinning. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tabula_rasa 2010-12-19 06:26 am UTC (link)
	"You did!" She laughed in delight. "I'll put a blanket down under the tree so the best gift won't get pine needles poking him in odd places." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gammagodling 2010-12-19 06:30 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, somehow I don't think the puppy I got you will appreciate the pine needles." Andy jokes. "Really, Jenny...I'd love it if you spent Christmas in New York with me. One thing I got you was books, so if you're interested in just staying in bed all day with them, we can." Andy says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tabula_rasa 2010-12-19 06:42 am UTC (link)
	"You're tempting me, and I'm a pushover. Bed, books and you. I can't think of a better combination." "Just remember, you're the one who'll have to take the puppy out in the snow," she teased back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gammagodling 2010-12-19 07:12 am UTC (link)
	"Wait, why do I have to take him out? Why can't I stay in with YC?" he asks mock-plaintively. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tabula_rasa 2010-12-19 07:15 am UTC (link)
	"Because! And that's all the answer I have on that subject." She impulsively hugged him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gammagodling 2010-12-19 07:30 am UTC (link)
	Andy laughs as she hugs him, giving a mock-sigh. "I suppose I'm beaten, then. But I expect to be handsomely rewarded for braving the cold with a puppy." Andy tells her, hugging her close. "I'm being rude and I'm sorry. Can I get you something to drink?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tabula_rasa 2010-12-19 07:36 am UTC (link)
	"You're offering me the sun, moon and a warm body to cuddle against while I read all morning, and you're being rude?" She leaned up to kissed him lightly. "If that's rude, I can't wait to see what considerate looks like. I'd love something nonalcoholic." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Soda it is!" Andy chuckles, guiding her to the bar. He would go and come back, but someone could bump into Jenny while he's gone and he knows she wouldn't want that.

He orders their sodas and looks around the room.

"Okay, how long do you want to stay here? Because as soon as we leave, I'm going to buy you the biggest cheesecake I can find and we're going to share it." he says.

It was crowded. She looked around with him and spotted faces she'd only seen in the movies. It wouldn't be possible to keep from being plowed into by a partygoer for very long. Starting a commotion, no matter how innocent, would be a poor way to reward her date for his invitation.

"One dance. Maybe two, and a little mingling so I meet your mother. Then you can drag me off and torture me with cheesecake. I might help you, too."

	gammagodling 2010-12-20 02:04 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, you will help me. I don't get to have followers like my big brother, but...I have written it into law that I am allowed a High Priestess. I was wondering if you wanted the position." Andy grins. "It comes with several perks, if you need incentive." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tabula_rasa 2010-12-20 03:06 am UTC (link)
	Thank god she didn't have to worry about followers. She'd read the tabloid stories about the gods and their followers out in California. "I'm sure I want the position, but I could stand to hear a few of those incentives." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gammagodling 2010-12-20 03:15 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, well let me tell you, then." Andy says. And so he does, whispering in her ear in great detail of the incentives and perks for being a High Priestess. He also mentions books and cheesecake, too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tabula_rasa 2010-12-20 03:39 am UTC (link)
	Anybody watching would see Jenny's cheeks get very pink. "I like those a lot. Promise me you'll tell me about them again when we're somewhere a lot more private." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gammagodling 2010-12-20 03:50 am UTC (link)
	"I promise I will and in even greater detail, High Priestess Jenny." Andy grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
