Family Dinner
"Manny? Kelly?" Bea asked over the comms. "Could you meet me in the den?"

	soft_inside 2013-04-06 05:48 pm UTC (link)
	"On my way, Bea," Manny replied back. Manny's plates were almost a hundred percent healed, though they still stung in a few places. It was nothing that would keep him from doing his job however. Besides, for Bea he'd crawl if he had to. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	And Bea will fret a little anyway when he shows up. Kelly will come when she comes. "How are you feeling?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2013-04-06 06:00 pm UTC (link)
	"A lot better," he assures. "What about you? You're not having any more of those headaches are you?" Manny asked regarding the migraine she suffered during her battle with the mercenary who infiltrated HQ. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2013-04-06 06:10 pm UTC (link)
	"No, doing a lot better, too, thank you." A breath. "So, got a call from my parents." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2013-04-06 06:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh?' was all Manny could say for a moment. "Is everything okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2013-04-06 06:17 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, it's a good thing. Uncle Laz's fifteenth birthday. They think he's finally ready to be in the same room with Kelly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2013-04-06 06:23 pm UTC (link)
	Manny smiled in relief. "That's great to hear, Bea." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	goesbothways 2013-04-06 08:01 pm UTC (link)
	"He so isn't." Kelly comments from the doorway. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2013-04-06 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	Bea sighs and smiles. "Probably not, but at least it's less absolutely horrific than the idea of bringing you home for his birthday dinner when he was turning twelve. Interested?" She looked to Manny. "And what about you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	goesbothways 2013-04-06 08:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Until you consider the fact that if he decides that I'm the fine role model I obviously am, there's a much higher chance he'd be tried as an adult now, over when he was twelve, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2013-04-06 08:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Wait, you mean..meet your parents?" And Manny will blanch a moment. "I..si, si I can do that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2013-04-06 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	A deeper sigh. "Granted, there is that. But I'm hoping that he's developing pretty good judgment by now." Manny gets a smile. "Well, I'm glad. And even if Kelly doesn't come, thereby preventing the reassurance that absolutely nothing you say could seem awkward in comparison, I want you to know that it will still be fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	goesbothways 2013-04-06 08:56 pm UTC (link)
	"I didn't say no. I'm sure jail would be a character building experience for him. You know I love spending time with you, big sister." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Bea had picked out a nice outfit, even, though she'd assured Manny it wasn't a fancy occasion. "Okay, you two ready to go? And thanks again, Martin. I don't want to rely on Dad's attempts." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2013-04-07 12:32 am UTC (link)
	Martin tipped his hat to the group and smiled. Finally someone had taken him up on his offer. "No problem!" There was a large blue disc on the floor, large enough for all of them and then a bit of space. He would of course wait until everyone got on (but before Manny could panic any more) before teleporting them all off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2013-04-07 12:36 am UTC (link)
	Manny chose to wear one of his custom-sized t-shirts and shorts, though he still didn't feel entirely comfortable. He found himself shifting a little from foot to foot. He kept taking a few steadying breaths, but it wasn't helping. "Si!" Manny said a little louder than needed. "I mean..si." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kelly dressed for the occasion too in clean jeans, a fedora, and her 'I Live a Life of Wine, Women and Song... Its Cheaper than Gas, Food and Rent' shirt. Nice and classy for her.

"Alright, whenever you're ready kid, go ahead and dissipate our component molecules and fling them in the direction of our destination, and we'll cross our fingers that nothing goes missing mid-transit. Dibs on checking Bea for missing parts on the other side."

	And Manny nearly turns a shade of green. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2013-04-07 12:45 am UTC (link)
	Bea sighed. "Please go ahead, Martin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

First of course he has to beam at Kelly because finally a teammate with a great hat. "I like your hat Kelly!" He then nods at Bea and with the usual woosh of blue flames on the periphery of the disc, they're all of a sudden standing in Providence.

Before Manny gets too green, Martin has a bright blue card float the guy's way, obviously a teleporting spell in there. In case you need it or of emergency, probably a Kelly one. He then tips his hat to them again and addresses Bea. "You can call whenever you want a teleport back!" And with that, he's gone in a whoosh of blue again.

	"Ok. Looks like the right place. Hopefully not an alternate dimension or anything. And I don't see any blood this time..." Kelly muses, checking herself over and mentioning 'this time' as if to indicate this weren't always the case. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And they'll arrive on the pacific island of Providence on a bright, clear day, amidst a combination of gardens and extremely bizarre solar-paneled generators.

"Kelly..."

There'll be other people in the distance, but three will come to meet them. The white-haired, cyborg-looking fellow will be easy to place. The woman and boy even paler than Bea and Kelly, each with shoulder-length black hair and black spots tattooed over their left eyes, won't exactly be difficult either.

"Mom, Dad, Uncle Laz, this is my boyfriend, Manny Rodriguez. Manny, these are my parents, Nathan Dayspring and Domino, and my Uncle Lazarus. Mom, you know Kelly. Kelly, Dad and Uncle Laz."

	soft_inside 2013-04-07 01:03 am UTC (link)
	Manny swallowed once, quietly. In for a penny. "It's nice to meet you." Manny put his hand out, willing himself not to feel awkward about it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	goesbothways 2013-04-07 01:04 am UTC (link)
	On seeing others coming, Cable especially, Kelly immediately opens with, "Manny, duck! Look out!" Pause, glance to Bea. "So as I was saying, Yo Mama so..." another pause, and glance to the greeting party. "Hi, Mom. Hello person sleeping with mom, hello other person." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2013-04-07 01:14 am UTC (link)
	"Que!?" Manny forgets for a moment that this was Kelly and immediately goes to cover Bea, back out so any attack would hit his shell first. And he'll blink a few times when he realizes it was a joke. He'll turn as red as he's capable. He'll awkwardly move away from Bea, give a small cough, and trying to regain his composure.
