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.

	"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)

	"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)
