Morning Workouts (open)
Frances fiddled with the pod and hummed when the song continued on the weight-room's speakers. Heading to the punching bag, she stretched her arms over her head and then pulled at her shoulders slowly to get at her back muscles. Mm, after a strong round of coffee, this felt like a good morning for a sweat-out alright. By the time the first two songs finished, she was plenty warm to start the weights. She hopped to the ground and started the push-ups, one arm at a time.

	"Only if we're lucky," she snickered and added louder. "Come on, only an adrenaline junkie would pick this kind of work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She stuck out her tongue, but relented. "My parents did it, new bad guys all the time, the job's never done... All reasons to pick fights with giants. And yeah, it's fun." Resting her chin on her wrist, she smiled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smiled. He wasn't surprised that she did it because it was fun. She was the type to enjoy the adrenaline. "I do it to protect those who can't protect themselves from these kinds of things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mike grew up traveling the world with his mother and had seen people under the heels of others. Even on the reservation he had seen it. He wanted to fight for those who couldn't do it. He shrugged. "Was curious about motivations." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, you know I was going to mention the spokesman contracts and celebrity parties," she play-shrugged before grinning back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll leave those to you," he said while he added more weight now that he was warmed up. "I'm content to stay out of the limelight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-08-25 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	She laughed and shook her head. "Sorry, sunshine, but you're an Avenger now. May not be Jersey Shore, but they do enjoy following the lives of the good guys." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Maybe I can just blend into the background or hide," Mike said. He was camera shy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not after we finished bedazzling your suit," she teased. "What about some neon piping too, pimp it out totally?" She bat her eyes innocently, lips pursed to keep the smile down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mike just gave her a look. She had to be joking. At least he really hoped she was joking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotshot_hawkeye 2013-08-25 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	She broke down under the dry scrutiny and started bursting into laughter. "I'm sorry, that expression- oh God, I swear- won't touch-" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	american_eagle 2013-08-25 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	Mike blinked and then had a deep sigh of relief. Thank goodness she was joking. His cheeks got a little hot from the embarrassment of believing her for a few moments. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I owe you a drink after, for that. Oh." She wiped her eyes clear and sighed to get the giggles back under control. "Man, there have been some eye-searing ensembles, but we won't make you wear anything like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	american_eagle 2013-08-25 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	"You do owe me a drink for that," he said. "I had some horrible horrible images come into my mind." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You owe me a few drinks," Mike said. "Better bring plenty of cash." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
