Movie Day (Open to T-Bolts)
It was Saturday and that meant spending the day with Buck, but apparently bad guys had no consideration for her love life and had decided to attack. How rude. The Avengers were called out and Buck had texted her to let her know something had come up which meant that Anya had a free day.

There was the temptation to go hide in the lab or even go into the office, but she decided to stay in her pajamas and make her way down to the rec room. It had been forever since she had been able to sit and watch a movie. Today she was going to take advantage of the cancellation in plans and do her best impression of a couch potato.

She popped in Breakfast at Tiffanys and stretched out on the couch.

Manny had decided to raid the refrigerator. He had a craving for ham and cheese sandwiches, but even with his claws retracted, it could be a delicate procedure. He felt embarrassed at asking someone to help him with such a mundane thing, so instead he winged it. ...not the best looking sandwiches, but they'd taste fine. Manny was making his way back to his room when he caught sight of Anya.

"Hola, Mande a Señora."

	"Hey Manny. How are you?" Anya said with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

While Anya had turned to greet Manny, a quiet swirl of blue flame appears above one of the armchairs and Martin appears on it, feet up on the armchair and hat in hand.

After his demon hunting road trip with Marlow, and surviving a town of demons, Dr. Strange had finally let Martin start working on some spells he'd been told before he wasn't ready for. In his excitement, Martin had holed himself up in the Sanctum to study and practice and this unexpected appearance was the first time he'd been to the HQ in a week.

He gives a friendly smile and hat tip once they notice him.

	"I'm good, gracias. What are you up to?" And that's when he jumps at the sudden entrance of Martin. "Dios mio, hombre! You're going to give me a heart attack doing that!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hanging out and watching a movie. Bad guys sabotaged my plans for the day." Anya jumped a little when Martin appeared. "Dude, a little warning." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...Oops?" Really, he needed to remember that other people weren't so used to people popping in and out around them. "But even if I sent a message ahead I'd still get here faster..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Manny thinks a moment. "Si, you were going to see Buck today. Sorry it didn't work out." Manny turns to Martin with a raised eyebrow. "Fr our peace of mind, amigo, try." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's okay. Bad guys don't take a break." "Yeah, please. I don't feel like getting a heart attack." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-07-16 12:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Sorry," he says under all the intense looks he gets. He wasn't sure how he'd send a message ahead but he'd test something out. Turning his attention to the movie playing he comments, "I'm sure they do take breaks. Just not at the same time. But it'd be nice if they did. Then there'd be like official superhero holidays."

	Manny nods once. "So what are you watching?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2012-07-16 01:36 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't get la...." TMI there. They didn't need to know about that. "Breakfast at Tiffany's. You're welcome to join me and put in a different movie if you like." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-07-16 01:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Get what?" He tilts his head at her curiously. "I've never seen this movie before. What's it about?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-07-16 02:10 pm UTC (link)
	Manny was certain he was blushing, but thankfully it was hard for other people to notice when he did. "Um..me neither." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2012-07-16 02:17 pm UTC (link)
	"Get laid. I won't get laid this week because of bad guys." Not one sign of blushing when she said that. "It's a total chick flick, so if you guys want to watch something else, I'm game." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-07-16 02:24 pm UTC (link)
	Martin seems mildly surprised she was so blunt about it but shrugs and looks back at the TV. At least she wasn't like Dr. Strange who made up convoluted and long errands for Martin to do whenever Clea visited. He might be young but he wasn't stupid. "I'm not picky, I haven't watched a lot of movies. You'd know better which are good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-07-16 02:27 pm UTC (link)
	Manny will just gape for a moment. His own parents weren't subtle, so they tended to cut themselves off a lot before saying something blunt. He wasn't used to such a blatant answer. "..I've heard of the movie, but not much else about it," Manny admitted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2012-07-16 02:30 pm UTC (link)
	Starks weren't known for subtlety in any sense of the word. "We have just about any movie that's out there. So if you want something with explosions or high body counts, we can watch one of those. We have comedies as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-07-16 02:41 pm UTC (link)
	High body count and explosion movies might give him ideas. And he was already high enough on the collateral damage causes list. "You pick. But is it true there's really an Iron Man movie? And can we have popcorn. That's half the point of movies." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-07-16 02:45 pm UTC (link)
	"I'd be surprised if half the stuff in it was true," Manny replied. "Who would make it? My hands aren' built for it, neither are yours hermano, and Anya..." Her cooking skills were infamous. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2012-07-16 02:56 pm UTC (link)
	"There is an Iron Man movie, two of them, and they're really not accurate. But they're fun to watch." Anya smiled. "I can make popcorn. Coffee and popcorn are about the only two things I can make without destroying the kitchen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"...Can we watch one?" He's not sure if that might be a request she wouldn't appreciate so he tacks on: "But you can tell us the parts that are wrong! They don't get a lot right in movies."

For a moment he goes quiet as he realizes that none of them can do popcorn until he hears that Anya might be able to. Well, even if something did blow up at least he'd be able to see these kitchen explosions for himself at least once. "Yes! Someone can."

	"It'd be fine with me," Manny concurred. Manny blanched for a moment, before whispering to Martin. "Better stay behind me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2012-07-16 03:20 pm UTC (link)
	"We can watch them," Anya said and sent the command to the system to load the first Iron Man movie. She stood up. "I'll be right back with popcorn." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-07-16 03:25 pm UTC (link)
	Martin gives Manny a glance that makes it clear he wants to watch this. Anya using the kitchen? If she blew something up it'd be fun to see the rumours were true and if she didn't? It'd be just as shocking. Win-win. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Manny gave a resolved sigh and mentally prepared himself for what may happen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
