Workout.
Tess rose, handled all the morning grooming, dressed, and walked to the gym. She then proceeded, knowing that this wasn't anyone else's scheduled time, to make sure the gym was properly locked up.

Then she patched through the intercom to Steven. "This is your wakeup call, pal."

	Tess gets her clothes on, then tells him where to go. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He picks her up. There's a sensation of shifting, and they're at the deli, where he sets her down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I really must avoid getting used to the taxi service," she says, smiling at Steven as she recovers her feet. "I'll get out of shape!" Then she takes a seat and orders. "Eggs on rye, slice of cheesecake, and a V8." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm your personal trainer now, I won't let you get out of shape." he replies with a wink. Then he places his own order for the three most interesting things on the menu, and orange juice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's a bit of a hodgepodge," she says to his order. "I am taking a bite of your fish." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've thought so ever since coming over. The only things with any real substance on the other side were... well, speedster things. And there wasn't any food like that, really. So flavor is kind of a new sensation, even after a bunch of lifetimes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled -- a set of muscles getting a lot of exercise this week. And soon the food came. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He settles back in his chair, talking quietly til the food comes. He cuts off a piece of the fish sandwich, offering it over, then digs into the others, having to remember to keep himself to normal speeds. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks." And she enjoys the bite of fish, wish she finds delicious, alongside her usual eggs. Between bites. "So what do you think?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I think... I really like the roast beef and provolone. It has substance... the hot mustard and pickles go well with it. The fish... might be a thing to try on its own. It does not go well. The club... I love the mix of flavors... again, maybe a thing to try when I'm not also eating something with hot mustard so I can appreciate it... more subtle. And I still like orange juice. Can I trade you part of my fish for part of your sandwich?"

	"Yeah, sometimes things mix, sometimes they don't. Sounds good." And she will take more fish, and give Steven some eggs-on-rye. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2011-09-15 02:40 am UTC (link)
	He nods at the assessment. "Well, if you ever have recommendations, let me know." He tries the new sandwich, brightening a bit. "Ok, eggs do go with roast beef and hot mustard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fairplay 2011-09-15 02:45 am UTC (link)
	She chuckles. "Good." Then they'll continue eating for a while. When they're quite done, Tess orders glasses of milk. "We're going to clear your palate completely before the cheesecake, so it won't be tarnished by context." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2011-09-15 02:47 am UTC (link)
	He happily finishes everything in front of him, and then the milk. "You take your cheesecake seriously." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I like to be rigorous. If you do not like this, we will have conclusively proven that you do not like cheesecake itself, as a concept." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2011-09-15 02:50 am UTC (link)
	"Reasonable." he agrees, as the cheesecake is brought out. He takes a careful bite, then brightens considerably. "Ok, I like cheesecake, as a concept." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fairplay 2011-09-15 02:51 am UTC (link)
	"Thank goodness!" She digs her own fork in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2011-09-15 02:53 am UTC (link)
	"Oh yes, we can definitely come back here more often." he adds, as he digs in a little more vigorously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fairplay 2011-09-15 03:20 am UTC (link)
	"Good." She eats. "Question. You've known the rest of the gang a little while. Our of curiosity, how would you assess them?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"That's a tricky question. I've... known alternate versions of some of them too, here and there. JSA'ers were occasionally very prominent in Flash's minds, so sometimes they, or their kids, got a little bigger slice of my realities. I'd need to know them longer, consecutively, to fairly make sure I'm not judging anyone based on someone like them or something. I do like Cat... but then we both spend a fair amount of time training, so I've seen a bit more of her. Fate is more distant, go figure."
