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.

Taking a break from some magic practice, Martin decides to teleport into the TBolts HQ to find something to do. Upon seeing Anya at the small table in the kitchen he stops in his tracks and perks up. Perfect opportunity to find out if those stories of things blowing up in the kitchen around her were true!

Unsure if she was in a work mood that shouldn't be disturbed he quietly goes to sit on one of the other chairs. Martin gives her a smile and looks around the kitchen. He seems to be waiting for something to happen.

	"Hey," she said when she was aware of another presence in the kitchen. After a moment she looked up to see who it was. "Oh hey Martin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey! What are you working on?" He glances at the toaster pointedly. It didn't move. Maybe the others were exaggerating about what happened to the appliances... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Looking over the projections for the next quarter," she said. "It's all numbers. Not very interesting." There was a brief pause. "Hungry? I just brought home some takeout. I got a few extra burgers and fries." The kitchen was intact because Anya didn't touch a single appliance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Sounds complicated," he says. "I don't get most of that stuff." Mutations forcing you to stop going to school and instead learn magic tend to do that.

Martin smiles and accepts the offer of food. "Sure! But umm...I eat weird so don't laugh okay?" He squirms a bit and looks over at the microwave to make sure it's still intact. Disappointed that it was he sits back in place. The others said these explosions were spontaneous and happened even if she didn't cook...they must've been exaggerating. But it would've been cool if it were true.

	"Promise I won't laugh," she assured him. "How are you settling in here? Is there anything you need or that I can do for you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Alright then." Martin places his hat on his lap and rests his hands on top of it. Using telekinesis and the occasional movements of his fingers, he makes the burger levitate up to his mouth so he can bite. Still chewing he vehemently shakes his head at her next question and swallows before responding. "Oh no! You've done more than enough! I don't need anything more, and you're all real nice so it's great here. I just hope I'm useful to you guys."

	Anya watched him eat and was impressed. "I wish I could eat like that. I could really work and eat at the same time." "Please let me know if there's anything you need or want. We want you to feel at home here. And of course you are useful to the team." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Martin lets the burger gently back down onto the plate. "Not really, you'd have to concentrate on moving your food and not working. I'm not good at controlling it yet, I'm getting better though! I mean I can eat with my hands if I really really try but...it takes a lot of effort and I don't want to turn my food into butterflies or something by accident."

"Okay, but I can't think of anything," he answers. "Really? I was worried I wouldn't be because you guys are all so experienced and can do so many cool things and I'm kinda...not experienced."

Martin directs a few fries into his mouth with a flick of a finger and glances around the kitchen again. "I think the others were exaggerating about you." He tries not to sound too disappointed while saying this though.

	"If you do and really. You're an asset to this team." Anya tilted her head. "Exaggerating about what?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Martin beams at the compliment before answering her question casually, "Oh about the kitchen stuff. They said you just being in the kitchen made stuff blow up. I was hoping it was true because maybe it was because of demons. We could do a team demon extermination. It's quite fun I'll show you guys how." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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)

	magic_hands 2012-01-04 04:17 am UTC (link)
	"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)
