A Good Sign
Lisa got out of the town car and told the driver to put it on her usual tab. She was fresh off another modeling gig to pay off the date she'd lined up from the auction. She told herself it was a good cause, even though she knew she'd be telling herself that even more intently if she didn't get a 'taste' of her date. She also needed to have a 'talk' with Julian to further figure out what the two of them were.

Plenty of time for that, and freshening up for her date. The shoot had let her borrow a simply stunning black number that she'd be treating her date's eyes to. Possibly hands as well. She smirked as the car pulled away.

She had taken five steps when the rushing air was all the warning she got. Hands grabbed her from behind and the block blurred past. She was shoved into the front of a building and dragged across it for several yards, before being thrown to the ground.

The damage to the building itself showed that if not for the super-strength she'd helped herself to earlier in the day, there would be plenty of herself embedded in it. As it was, her clothes were all but destroyed and her belongings were thrown across the street. Her breath had been pulled out of her by the shock and the velocity.

Her attacker was silent, dressed all in black. They seemed to hesitate before speaking. "You need to shut your mouth and stop asking questions Stick to being pretty on tv." Their voice is muffled by the mask. They take off again, leaving car alarms screaming in their wake.

Lisa's eyes are wide with disgust, rage, and panic. She slams a fist into the ground, letting out a scream of frustration as the pavement cracks. She pulls her clothes, what's left of them, around her. Mercifully, her phone had survived.

She calls Julian.

"I can do that." Julian says, following her to the bathroom with a smile.

After she was as clean and refreshed as she was going to get, Lisa called Aleks to confirm all was still on.

She nudged Julian aside as she went through her jewelry, as he was apparently taking his sweet time getting dressed again.

Aleks found a place to park and wait, not minding a little extra time to drive about. Always a nice change from the confines of the helicarrier.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Aleks? This is Lisa. I just wanted to make sure everything was still on for tonight. My boss is going to be dropping me off." She shifts her phone from side to side as she slips on a pair of opal earrings.

She's dressing to stun, but not quite to kill. If the evening goes as she hopes, she's going to want to be able to move freely, for more reasons than one.

"No problem. Everything ok?" Yeah, something doesn't sound quite right with that. Still, at least it seems the date is on.

"Nothing that's stopping me from coming. It's in-person talk though. Where should I have him drop me off?"

"That'll do just fine, hunk. I'll meet you there at the time we set." Lisa smiles to herself. "Be ready." She practically purrs as she ends the call, getting herself the rest of the way dressed and accessorized.
