Dinner and People Watching (Friday Night)
Anya was running on time for a change. At promptly 5:45 she was downstairs in the foyer waiting for Iason. She was dressed in a little black dress, heels and her hair done. It had only taken her an hour to get ready, which for her had to be some sort of record.

They had 6:30 reservations at Mesa Grill. Six would have been difficult to make and they weren't in a rush. Mesa Grill should be extremely busy, it was a Friday night and dinner time, and would be a great opportunity for Iason to watch humans. Anya had to drop the Stark and Romanov names to even get a reservation.

She double checked her appearance. She wasn't nervous, she just knew that there would be paparazzi and she always wanted to look her best.

She waited patiently for Iason.

	"He does have to babysit the whole world," she said and gave the driver the address of their destination. "It can't be easy and something I definitely wouldn't want to do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's what Sammy is planning to do though, isn't it? Besides, I'm guessing with the lab, and your dad and the rest, you're more interested in Stark Industries than babysitting?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-05-23 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, it is what Sammy is planning to do. She's following in father's footsteps, just like what I'm doing. I'm an Avenger and I'll be running Stark Inc. one day. It's the only thing I've ever wanted to do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ok, that makes sense. And what about the Avengers? Are you active with them at all, or living at the mansion through family?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-05-23 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm an active member on the junior team." She smiled. "You could say that. My family owns the mansion and funds the Avengers, but I split time between the mansion and my family's place elsewhere in the city." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ok, so now the obvious question, what are your powers? If we're going to be working together, hopefully, this would be good to know. I'm guessing, from your parents and what scent of your lab the perfume doesn't cover... nice choice, by the way, that its something high-tech?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled. "It's all tech based. I have nanites inside of me that lets me control machines and I wear a powered armor suit." "What about you? I know you're related to Sersi, but Eternals vary greatly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Ok, nanite infused, that would explain... well, anyway. Yeah, most Eternals have the same base. We're all really just cosmic energy given form, after all. I'm a lot stronger than most... and I can boost it. Physicallt tougher too. My senses and energy blasts are up there with my father. But I don't have a lot of the 'finesse' people like Sersi do... I can't turn anyone into anything, I can't read minds or speak to people with telepathy... except other telepaths. I can't turn people into pigs, thankfully. No real telekinesis, unless I touch something, and for flying. That's mostly it... I still need a lot more practice to do more than the things that come easily. Most Eternals have centuries of practice, at least. Oh... and when I do decide to sleep, sometimes I get prophetic dreams if something wrong on a huge scale is going to happen... sometimes. Not much though... sleeping is still kind of a weird concept."

	"See? Everyone gets to the cool powers." She looked over at him. "Explains what?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-05-24 03:15 am UTC (link)
	"A lot of it comes with being an Eternal, admittedly. And the nanites, basically, the way you move, smell... is unique. Not a bad thing, just wasn't placing it. Regardless, you're very distinct. Take it as a compliment." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"And they're still cool powers that I don't have. It's tough being a normal human around people who can do amazing things." Though in her family weird was normal.

"Oh. Never realized they would affect how I smell to someone with enhanced senses. People I know who have them never mentioned anything before. I have them because of that car accident I mentioned earlier. My spine was injured and the nanites allow me to walk."

She blushed. This kept up and her face was going to be a permanent shade of red.

He shrugs. "A lot of races are sensitive about being told they smell different. Impolite. And in any case, you're not a normal human. You build artificial intelligence, and without benefit of powers beyond what you can create, you go into battle with the Avengers anyway. That takes a kind of courage a lot of people with those special powers wouldn't be able to stack up to."

	"Either that or I'm completely insane. I would guess the latter." She grinned. The car came to a stop outside of the restaurant. The driver jumped out and rushed around to open Anya's door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He steps out and moves around, promptly offering his arm again. At least paparazzi doesn't appear to be an alien concept once people figure out who Anya is. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-05-25 05:00 am UTC (link)
	She took the offered arm and smiled. "You'll like this place. It has incredible food and it's all spicy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-05-25 05:29 am UTC (link)
	"I like the company. The food is secondary, though good food is a plus. You always get this much attention?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-05-25 05:35 am UTC (link)
	Yup, more blushing. Her face was going to be a permanent shade of red. "Yes, if not more. With any luck we can get through appetizers without much attention." As soon as they were through the door Anya gave her name, quietly, to the hostess. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"News travels fast, apparently." he answers, quieting as they're quickly rushed to a relatively private table and given the wine list. He pulls her chair out for her before settling in himself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-05-25 06:00 am UTC (link)
	"Thank you," she said as she sat down. "In some of the less reputable places the employees call the paparazzi and inform them when big names will be there. Then you're mobbed as soon as you get out of the car." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-05-25 06:06 am UTC (link)
	"Which is how you know the less reputable places quickly. I apologize for dragging you out into the public eye... I really appreciate the help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-05-25 06:15 am UTC (link)
	She smiled. "There's no need to apologize. I love being out, despite the attention. It's less now that Mom isn't sitting on the throne and my brother gets more lately because he was the heir apparent." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-05-25 06:32 am UTC (link)
	He rubs his chin thoughtfully. "Heir apparent? I was aware of the state of your father's company, but not much for local political sciences. Where is he heir apparent to, and what does that entail for your family, if its not too complicated or rude to ask?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh right. Forgot you haven't been on the planet much. Mom is a Romanov. The Romanovs ruled Russia for three hundred years before the last tzar was killed in 1917. Russia has gone through a lot of political turmoil in the past twenty years and recently they decided to reinstate the tzar and the imperial family. My mother was the most direct descendant of Nicholas II, the last ruling tzar. She was crowned tsarina a few months ago, but the appearance of a nephew, her older brother's son, allowed her to step down. My brother was her heir. Now instead of being first in line, he got demoted to second. I'm down to third."

	"Ok, I'm guessing from the sound of it you're relieved to not be second in line. Between tone, and your enthusiasm for the lab. Still, that makes for quite the family." (Reply to this)(Parent)
