From the Heavens to Las Vegas
The Guardians have come to Earth to visit - a planet Iason certainly has connections to. One of which is his partial ownership of a casino, and through it, his casual friendship with Donald Trump.

Once people got past that particular news, he called The Donald;s secretary, and had reservations made. Everyone has luxury rooms, things are set to Red will be treated as a guest rather than a pet, an account is set up so people can gamble if they wish, and everyone has a number they can call to have reservations for meals, shows, whatever else they'd like made for them.

Red is required to give up any and all weapons, of course - as is everyone else, and a personal attendant with a luxury cart is gotten for Red so there's no worries about his tail getting stepped on in crowded floors. Iason makes sure everyone knows the rules, and has a quarter million dollars put into the collective account to cover food, entertainment, gambling and the rest.

	"This is the only warning I'm giving you, Quill. If you don't move your arm in two seconds I'm going to break it again." She rather enjoyed it, but she could never let on that she did. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Can you at least make it my humerus this time, instead of the ulna? I can still shoot from the hip pretty well if that's the case." He asks earnestly, but will withdraw the arm as quickly as he can manage if she moves to grab it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, milady." He gets up and bows dramatically to her, before pulling out his phone and getting in touch with the contacts Iason told him about, to see about tickets to another event. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Azura rolled her eyes. In the back of her mind Abel was commenting on how she should just sleep with Alex and get it over already. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex has a few exchanges with a woman at the other end of the line, then thanks her and hangs up. "Okay, there's a match going on not far from our hotel in about two hours. Any choices on how to kill time until then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A brow rose over one eye. "What's your game, Quill? There's a million and a half places to eat and you want to go back to the room." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	spacepalm 2011-10-03 12:07 am UTC (link)
	"Az, if I were trying to get you back to my place to sleep with you, I'd say so. It's just a really comfy room, and I heard good things about the far east cuisine at our hotel." He shrugs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Uh huh," she said not believing him for a moment. "Fine. Let's go back and get room service." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And so, they do. Not much later, Alex is sitting on his bed, working on a second helping of dumplings. "This is pretty good stuff. Nice and spicy, good for fighting off time-lag from Knowhere standard. So how's stuff for you? I know we all needed a vacation, but you got anything going on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It was good enough," she said. "I'm still partial to Strontian Stew. That'll put some fire in your belly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	spacepalm 2011-10-03 01:14 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, well for those of us less durable, without enough beer to dilute it with, it'll go right through our stomach lining." He smirks. "Good stuff though, Strontians know how to pack some flavor along with the heat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Azura chuckled. "I suppose. They do. What they have here for alcohol is passable. Though I do miss Onty's." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	spacepalm 2011-10-04 01:04 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah... it's home, just like the rest of the station." Alex agrees. He finishes the rest of his food in relative quiet, before coming to his usual decision of 'why the hell not?' "Az... I like you." There. Now, wait for the explosion, and figure out how to apologize to Iason and the property's other owner later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	... Azura blinked. "And?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	spacepalm 2011-10-04 01:18 am UTC (link)
	"And..." He opens his right eye, not realizing right away that it had shut when he winced. "--I'd like to spend time with you as more than just buds." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	only_half_here 2011-10-04 01:21 am UTC (link)
	Azura sighed. "Fine." She stood up and started to undress. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Alex gapes for half a second, before getting his spine back. "Well don't go sounding so overjoyed about it on my account...

He leans forward, giving her a serious, but still affectionate, look.

"Az, I know you damn well enough that I know you don't do anything you don't want to, but... you're sure? All I'm asking is seeing how things work as more than friends, whatever kind of more than friends you want."

And then he's just going to stop talking, before he turns a yes into a no.

	"It's sex," she said. "Do you want this or not?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	spacepalm 2011-10-04 02:02 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, please." He answers quickly, before clearing the bed and then making a generous contribution of effort to get them both naked, seemingly fascinated with revealing more and more of her, before finally slipping arms around her waist. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Azura was nothing but direct. She grabbed his upper arms and spun him around. Then she pushed him down on the bed before crawling on top of him. Her mouth came down on his and she kissed him. Hard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Alex can deal with this. He can totally deal with this. He wraps his limbs around her and kisses her back with equal fervor.

And, like anytime he's dealing with an opponent that outclasses him physically.. he cheats.

His TK may not be out there with the other cosmic types, but at close-range, he's mastered a few tricks. For Azura, it'll be like he's got an extra set of hands to spare.

	For a moment Azura's brain chimed in and questioned what the hell she was doing, but she quickly shut it up and went with things. Any fallout could be deal with later, but for now she was going to enjoy herself. That's exactly what she did. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
