Mickey walked into the kitchen of the JSA Brownstone, in shorts and a bikni, the floating iPod deck that Mikey built her for her birthday behind her.

She was worried about Nic, but she didn't want to seem to hovery. She'd let her sleep in...and then haul her ass out of her room and drag her off to go clubbing later if she didn't surface by two.

But for now, it was a beautiful sunny day out, and Mickey planned to take full advantage of it.

But first, she needed cookies.

	Cindy's still attached to her JLA plans, but she's taking the advice to go to the JSA seriously. And so, she knocks. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Just a minute!" Mickey threw on a tank top as she made her way to the door. "Can I help you?" She asked Cindy with a smile after she opened the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Hi. Cindy Lord. Sorry to just drop in on you like this." Gosh, she doesn't properly know JSA people. She doesn't know how to market herself to them. She doesn't have any reason why they should want to talk to her. "But it was recommended to me that I talk to some of the people here, so I was hoping I could maybe... set up an appointment or something." She cants her head slightly and grins self-effacingly.

	Will was making his way to the Brownstone, taking advantage of the summer lack of school to spend some more time at the Brownstone. As he gets to the main door, he sees Mickey talking with someone he doesn't recognize. "Hello. Who might you be?" Will says as he walks up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Bacon. Nic was single-minded towards bacon after having had a fabulous dream about the all-bacon Baconator that she and Wendi had gotten. It had been amazing, so much so that Nic had gotten two. Someday her arteries were going to hate her but right now all was well.

"Are we praying now?" Nic sauntered out of her room, bacon-questing, when she encountered Will. And a girl. A cute girl. Instant wing perk.

"Oh hai."

	"Technically Will, I can tan," Mickey said with a laugh. "I just get a darker shade of green." She flashed Nic a smile. "Morning beautiful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yes, Maxwell Lord is my dad. And definitely not a religious figure," Cindy says a little sheepishly.

Yes. Right. Because what this room needed was another pretty person -- devastatingly pretty, at that -- when Cindy didn't have a good pitch for why they should talk to her. With the JLA, she had connections, knowledge enough to try to make herself worth their time. Here, all they had was that she was a Lord. Great. Because everyone wants to help the money-grubbing weasely-looking kid from the shady family.

"So hi. I'm Cindy, and it was recommended that the JSA was really one of the best places for me to go for advice on professional stuff. Sorry to just drop in like this..."

	"Don't worry about it. My first day, i blew through the bathroom wall," Will says as he walks in the direction Nic came from, the kitchen. The wing perk was worrying, though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She's going for Keroppi," Nic advised will but her eyes were solidly on Cindy even as she waved at Mickey. "Hi. I'm Nic. And you're cute." Her wings perked further as all of Nic's attention settled on Cindy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yes," She says with just slight note of absence in her voice. "Green people can even sunburn; it's just more steamed vegetable shade instead of boiled lobster." She tries to shake off the moment in which she was obviously drooling with a normal, 'Let's Do Business' smile for everyone, but her eyes keep retargetting on the girl with the wings and the eyes and the hair and did those much-suppressed parts of Cindy's brain mention the wings.

"Really nice to meet you, Nic. And ..thank you very much."
She has to just mean 'cute how you're awkwardly on our doorstep,' right?
Was she blushing? She was blushing. Blushing is so unprofessional.

	Will was almost to the inside of the foyer when he heard the "cute part of the conversation. He turned in time to see the girl who was visiting them was now blushing. Part of Will became confused, then panicked. "Hey, Cindy! uh, come on in! we have plenty of food, drinks, and air conditioning here!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You said you came here for professional advice? How can I help you?" She paused. "We. I meant we. I certainly hope you aren't in trouble...though I could totally mace someone for you." Nic offered up a smile and while it seemed completely confident, she had to wonder if she was doing the flirting right. This was so much easier when she was luring in guys she really had no interest in.

Then she recalled Will was offering food.

"We have bacon. Do you like bacon? I was getting ready to make some."

	Mickey repressed a giggle. Nic trying to flirt was cute. Honestly. "We can certainly help as best we can," Mickey said. A grin. "And yes. There is bacon. Lots of bacon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh, right, of course." And Cindy comes in, and shuts the door, and smiles cordially at everyone.

"Oh, no, not in trouble. I hit sixteen recently, and so my parents moratorium about even talking about my getting involved in The Life was lifted, and, well, some of my JLA friends and acquaintances say that the JSA are among the best people to go to for the best information about how to start out. I figure I need all the help I can get, sans some of the obvious natural advantages. I'm good on the abilities themselves, mind. Good control. Just --" she gestures to indicate 'I am small and stubby' "Not exactly going to be rocking the spandex like you must. You two. All of you."

Cindy. Green tan. Cute. Bacon. JSA--the best. Spandex.

While Zandor could have bothered to pay attention and remember the entire conversation, those were really the only words that snagged his attention away from flying around outside. He flew down and opened the door with a big grin on his face.

"I heard somebody new, something about Mickey tanning, somebody is cute, there's bacon, and we're the best. Oh, and something about spandex. What's up?" He looked at Cindy. "Hi! You're Cindy? I'm Zandor!"

	Mickey gave Zandor a wave. "Hey there Zandor," she said. "Yes, this is Cindy. Cindy Lord. From what I've gathered, I think she's looking to get herself started in the cape business. Right, Cindy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-08-18 04:45 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, thank you, Mickey, that's right. Hi, reallly nice to meetcha, Zandor." And Cindy has the self discipline to make polite eye contact with him as she offers a handshake -- before her eyes inevitably drift back to Nic. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-08-18 02:01 pm UTC (link)
	Cindy nearly broke Nic's brain and the winged girl tilted her head as she continued to check Cindy out. "You...aren't short and stubby. I'd like to see you in spandex." She tilted her head a bit more. Yes, Feathers was checking out Cindy's rear. And was pleased. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Zandor shook Cindy's hand and looked where she was looking for a moment. Then he looked at Mickey. "Heya, Mickey!"

"Hey, spandex might sound fun at first, but it totally rides up real fast. Especially when you're flying fast. But some people wouldn't know about being fast, right Nic?"

He grinned after his little joke to her. Zandor was just that type of guy to ruin a blushing moment.

If Cindy broke Nic's brain, the process is entirely mutual.

Hot girl. Thinks she's cute. Willing to admit this -- in front of people -- right off the bat. This is not something to which Cindy is accustomed.

Nic's 'correction' of Cindy's attempt to show that she had 'a realistic self-image' (by her own standards, some of which were inherited) left Lenore Cynthia Montgomery Lord rather flatterflustered.

"That's so nice of you to say, thank you," she says, blushing. "But seriously, I'm just saying when we're all legal and I'm trying to talk people into the 2013 Scantily-Clad Superheroine Charity Calendar, I've got better marketing savvy than to participate directly when I could focus on trying to convince devastatingly beautiful winged goddesses." Pause. "And such."

Embarrassed omigosh-I-sound-so-stupid clearing of throat. "Anyway, meanwhile, some of us are much further from Kryptonian powerhouseness than others, so I'm hoping for any suggestions about physical training that all of you can give me. Had some self-defense lessons in gym class at St. Elias, but it was mostly 'fight dirty just long enough to get a chance to run away,' and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need a lot more than that."

Nic turned her gaze to Zandor and while she may not have been Kryptonian and therefore invincible at the expense of several IQ points, even Superman knew better than to tango with a Hawk. She said nothing, but her glare spoke for her (save for a growled curse in Masri.) Then her attention went entirely back to Cindy.

Winged goddess? The snarl Nic had given Zandor molded into a smile.

"I could teach you to fight dirty to win. It's very...physical."

	She blushed a little once more. "That sounds like it could be a very good place to start. But, of course, I'm very new. I hope you can start off gentle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Zandor couldn't help but laugh. "What's your definition of 'training', Nic?" Even /he/ could see what was going on here.

	"Now. If you want. We'll need to put your hair up, though." And even as she said it, Nic just reached over and started picking Cindy's hair up. "Ooh. Soft." She looked over her shoulder at Zandor. And glared. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cindy silently reminds herself that you're supposed to start panting, pulse racing, during the workout, not before. "I've got a really good hair masque," she mutters, blushing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
