Cookout
There had been an invitation for Excalibur to attend a cookout with the Defenders for Independence Day. Quinn was a Brit by birth, but he had spent half of his life in New York. He considered himself a Yankee as well as a Brit.

When it was time he teleported all from Excalibur who wanted to go to the Defenders compound. Quinn was looking forward to a day in the sun, on the beach and watching girls in bikinis with a lot of good food on hand. Not to mention Asgardian mead. It would truly be a wonderful day.

They arrived in a flash right outside the gates to the compound. It was rude to arrive inside the gates and Quinn didn't feel like fighting. He was a lover, not a fighter.

	Dawn had gotten herself a place to sit and a plate of food, also conjuring up a portable fan and a bucket of ice. Celebrating the Fourth with gods and super-heroes. For a former mousy librarian, this was quite the upswing in life and it never failed to amaze her. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Quinn was making the rounds and he spotted Dawn. He made his way over to her. "Hello Gorgeous," he said with a big smile. "How are you doing, luv?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She looked up. "Oh, hey, Quinn. How's it going?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Smashing," he said. "How are you, luv? How goes the studies?" Quinn was quite thankful it was Dawn studying with Strange. He had his fill of it for awhile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm doing good," she said. Minus one bad encounter a couple months ago with an ex-fiance. But the current boyfriend had more than made up for that.

"It's been... an education," Dawn added. I've learned so much, and yet there's still so much to go. And I've learned I need to take Dramamine if I plan on going to any of the Ditkoian dimensions. No linear geography makes me throw up."

	"That bad on extra dimensional trips? he asked as she sat down next to her. "No offense, but I'm glad it's you and not me. I've had enough bloody studying for awhile. Ten years. I needed a break." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Getting a little better," she said. "Not even remotely what I thought I'd be doing with my life but... I've helped a lot of people since then. Feels like I'm doing the right thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Quinn smiled. "That's the important thing. I'm glad you're doing okay and settling into things. Any craziness around here lately?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Vampires, actually," Dawn said. "And not the sparkling kind." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Eww. Blood suckers are never any fun. Vampires should never sparkle. I wonder what that lady was on when she wrote that rubbish." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wish I knew," Dawn replied. "Never could get into those. More of a True Blood girl." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dawn flushed a little. "Well, he's way too young for me, but Taylor Launtner is kinda hot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh he totally is," Quinn said in a higher pitched voice and put his hand on his chest. "He makes my heart go all pitter patter when I see him on television. If I didn't have a drag queen chasing me I'd totally chase after him." A second later Quinn started laughing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dawn thwacked him affectionately on the shoulder. "...Wait, you have a drag queen chasing you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2011-07-06 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	"Ow," he said and rubbed the spot where she thwacked him. "Careful, luv. I'm fragile." "I do. Scary thing he/she/it is. Not even a marriage license will dissuade her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was," he said. "For about twenty four hours. The missus didn't like being hitched too well so we got it annulled." Quinn took a pull from his bottle of beer. "It had to be one helluva night. I don't remember half of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dawn laughed at that. "Never seen the point of drinking yourself into that kind of stupor. ...I was kind of a buzzkill in college, actually." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm swearing off marriage for a long while," he said with a laugh. "So what's this boyfriend thing? Who is he? Do I need to have a talk with him?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Me too, actually," she admitted. "I was engaged once. Didn't work out." "But, nah, Griff's pretty awesome. No threats needed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
