Lunching out (Backdated a bit)
"Manny? Are you free for lunch?" He'd been showing up to HQ more since the whole therapy thing suggested he should. But he still needed to get out of the HQ for some fresh air and he needed someone to come with him if he wanted to eat out. The Sanctum was currently being used for whatever serious business Dr. Strange was dealing with, which meant that he couldn't stay over there. "We can stay in the city I promise! I can't go for lunch by myself..." He hoped the older guy would agree, Manny was nice and Martin figured he'd be good lunch company.

	Manny chuckles. "Okay, okay, point taken," he says, before working on his second burger. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Martin finishes the last few bites of his burger once he's sure nobody is looking again and begins finishing his fries. "Oh! Do your parents live in San Antonio? I could teleport you there for holidays and stuff if you wanted to visit them. I forgot to offer..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I appreciate the offer, martin, but I'd prefer to stick with more mundane means of transportation. I'm just used to it that way," Manny informed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He gives Martin an assuring smile. "I'm sure, but thank you. I appreciate the offer, really." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Martin doesn't seem to assured and he wonders if Manny didn't trust his teleports. They were his best spell next to his magic discs and he didn't screw it up easily. "Okay I guess..." It seemed wrong that Manny would have to take a plane and spend all that time doing so when a teleport would do the job much faster and more conveniently. And no baggage limits either!

	It wasn't that Manny didn't trust Martin's abilities, it was just..mystical things just made him uneasy. "It's fine, Martin, honestly. I'm just a creature of habit. I like to do things a certain way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-11-08 12:34 pm UTC (link)
	He shrugs and doesn't seem convinced. It just wasn't something he could wrap his mind around. To go through all that hassle of planes when there was a much easier way that had no real drawbacks he could think of. But there was no good pressing the issue if Manny insisted he wasn't interested. "What can I do instead then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-11-08 07:49 pm UTC (link)
	"What can you do? martin, you don't have to do anything for me," Manny said. "I'm happy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-11-08 08:10 pm UTC (link)
	"That's good but I still want to do something for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-11-08 08:25 pm UTC (link)
	"Well..if I think of anything I'll let you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You should. I can be very helpful, you'll see. I could even help you if you ever needed help with a date for Bea. And I could distract Kelly too," he nods. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Unfortunately Manny had taken that time to drink some milkshake..and promptly spat it out in surprise. Fortunately he managed not to spit on martin or anyone else. "Wha-what!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-11-08 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	Martin seems unphased by the spit-take and casually looks around. What had surprised Manny this time? "What is it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-11-08 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Martin," Manny said, managing to regain his bearings. "That's really not necessary. ..Bea and I aren't dating." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-11-09 12:06 am UTC (link)
	"You will," he says with casual assurance that might have some people wondering if he could see the future. He couldn't of course, and he didn't read his teammates minds without permission either. "I'll distract Kelly next time you go out for dinner," he smiles as he finishes the last of his fries. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-11-09 12:18 am UTC (link)
	Okay, that assurance was a little spooky. Wait, next date? Ooooh... "How did you know about the dinner Bea and I had?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Martin just gives Manny a look that says 'what a silly question'. After all, he did live part time there and between putting up all the magic defenses and being able to telepathically sense where people were when he wished...well it wasn't hard to keep track of comings and goings.

He then brushes off the question and continues. "So just tell me next time. Or if you wanted something last minute I'll help! I'm very good at certain charms just you watch!"

	When you're a professional wrestler, there's more than just athleticism, skill, power, and determination. There was also the less spoken, but nonetheless important skill of knowing when to quit. "..okay, hermanito. We'll see what the future brings." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-11-09 12:40 am UTC (link)
	"That's a good idea. Going into the future isn't the best idea unless you really know what you're doing," he nods. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2012-11-09 12:56 am UTC (link)
	"Well then," Manny carefully picks up his milkshake in a toast. "Here's to the future." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-11-09 01:01 am UTC (link)
	It was a good thing he'd ordered that second milkshake. "To the future," he smiles as his milkshake floats to clink against Manny's. "I'll travel there one day!" (Reply to this)(Parent)
