Grabbing Some Grub (Open)
Anya sat at the small table and focused on the screen on the table in front of her. Just because she was eating lunch it didn't mean she couldn't work. Work was consuming all of her time and energy lately and would probably continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

The burger on the plate had a few bites out of it and only a few fries were missing. Anya's mind was focused on food and not work.

	"Oh. I see. Well I have been good lately and the kitchen appliances and I have a cease fire. If you really want to know the full extent of my battles in the kitchen, Toni Rhodes is the one you should talk to. She loves telling people how I set cereal on fire." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh I wanted to see it for myself, it sounded cool. So it's not the appliances..." He gives her and odd look now. "I don't know who that is though...but I don't know how you set cereal on fire. I mean I have an excuse if I do that..." Then he suddenly brightens up, "Maybe we'll get to do a demon extermination after all! I'm sure Kelly would love demons!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Toni's my best friend in the entire universe. You'll get to meet her eventually." Anya suddenly had a bad feeling. "I think she would, but let's skip the demons if we can." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"She must be pretty cool then. Is she a superhero too?" Meeting more superheroes was always a fun thing in his book.

"Oh don't worry! Demons are tons of fun! There are all sorts and you don't have to hold back or worry about killing them or stuff like that, and it's perfect for testing out new spells and stuff." Martin looks at her thoughtfully again, "I should've checked before but I didn't feel any magic here so I didn't but...better late than never! I'll have to go brush up on the spells for it later just to be sure...Do you think the others blow stuff up unintentionally sometimes too? I should check them too..."

	"Toni's awesome and she's an Avenger," Anya replied. "I'm pretty sure that everything Kelly and Bea blow up is purely intentional." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He hasn't kept up with all the superhero teams since he's started studying under Dr. Strange so Martin is particularly interested in other heroes. "Cool! What does she do? Does she have armour like you?" He thinks all superheroes either had crazy accidents or cool toys to give them powers, and he's looking forward to meeting more of them.

"They are very good at blowing things up...even themselves. Hmm I'll check them anyway don't worry, it'll be fun and you can say there aren't any demons in the HQ! Dr. Strange already checked me, and he made sure I was human. You can ask him if you want." When it comes to magic those are legitimate concerns.

	"They are," Anya admitted. "I'm not doubting your humanity, it's just that experiences with demons have never been nice if you know what I mean." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Apparently you can never be sure when it comes to people who can do magic," he answers. "That's alright, I'll deal with the demons if they ever pop up."

All this talk of demons reminds Martin that he should probably mention something else, "Speaking of demons...I hope you don't mind but I put up a few protection spells on the HQ." He frantically waves his hands now while explaining, "Nothing fancy don't worry! Just to make sure people and demons can't just pop in when they want, and there's another one I put up that keeps all sorts of demons away." The hand waving causes some magic sparks to fly out, some of which hit a nearby cup which promptly dances across the table.

	"Just the opposite. I could kiss you for doing that. There are certain /people/ that need to be kept out." She practically hissed the word people. She chased the thought of Temujin from her head. He was the last person she wanted to be thinking of. "Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Martin catches the dancing cup under his hat and glances up a tad embarassed, "Oops sorry about this I'll fix it." He mutters and incantation and the cup finally stops tap dancing.

"No problem! I can put up more if you want. I was trying to be helpful and just wasn't sure if you'd mind" He looks at her curiously, "Was there some specific um...people that you wanted to keep out? If I know what they can do I can probably go find and learn some spells that'll keep them out better..."

	"Don't worry about it. I don't think we need to go overboard on the wards or whatever they are." Anya went quiet. "There's an individual from my past that I'd rather not have show up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-01-04 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	"I'll put a few more up but nothing more I promise. If you think they're unnecessary I'll take them down." Martin gives her his best reassuring smile, "Well you can always ask me for help if they ever show up, especially if they do magic. I can be useful for that stuff. Also I have loads of experience with demons if you ever needed a hand." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2012-01-04 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	Anya gave him a smile. "Thank you. I appreciate the offer. It's nice to know I have people watching my back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course you do! It's the least I can do." Martin gives her a salute, "So Boss, anything for me to do around here or should I stop bothering you so you can work?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2012-01-05 04:10 am UTC (link)
	"You're not bothering me," she assured him. "I could use the break." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He beams, "Great! I wanted to ask you about this, hold on a sec." He takes a deep breath to concentrate and make sure his hands don't spark before reaching into his lucky hat and fishing out the device she'd given the team as a Christmas present and making it levitate until he lets it gently down on the table.

"I figured out how to work it without my hands but...I'm not sure how to carry it around and aim it without my hands. I tried putting it in my belt but then I can't just telekinetically rotate it and shoot. Can you help?"

	anyastark 2012-01-05 04:41 am UTC (link)
	Anya looked at the device and then his hands. Her mind already started working on a solution. "I think I can come up with something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-01-05 04:46 am UTC (link)
	Martin self-consciously tugs at his gloves while responding. "Really? That'd be really great. I was trying to find a way to put it on me so I could shoot it whenever but it hasn't worked so far...Where'd you find this thing by the way? It's really cool." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2012-01-05 04:48 am UTC (link)
	"I made them," she said. "Thanks. I've been developing them for law enforcement agencies to have a safe non-lethal way of crowd and riot control." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-01-05 04:54 am UTC (link)
	He blinks at her for a moment. "Whoa really? That's really impressive. What other stuff have you made?" He may think magic is a much better way of doing things but he's still impressed that people can make such interesting things without it. "I just use time spells to stop people, this probably lasts longer though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've made most of my armor and a zero point energy device, but my real strength lies in programming. I've written a few AIs. Dad's the inventor." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-01-06 03:47 am UTC (link)
	"I dunno," Martin says thoughtfully as he finishes his burger. "It sounds like you're an inventor to me. What are the AIs for? I don't think I could ever learn how to do that, for one I can't type well." He wiggles his fingers at the last part. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"One organizes my life along with Bridget and the other runs this building. There's another one in my brother's car who runs his life. She also makes him buy her jewelry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-01-07 12:49 am UTC (link)
	More shocked blinking, "How do you buy one jewelry? I mean she can't even wear it...I thought the Sanctum Sanctorum had some weird stuff but..." Wait, runs this building? Oh dear. "Ummm uh...the one that runs the building, if I uh enchanted some stuff would it affect it?" Hopefully he hasn't accidentally screwed up the building. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Darlene likes jewelry. I even gave her one of my old tiaras for her dashboard." Anya shrugged. "It shouldn't affect Plato, but I wouldn't enchant anything in the computer labs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
