Love in an Elevator
The New Guardians (or some of them, anyway) had gone to the mall. Because, well, shopping. Heather was still somewhat uneasy about going out in public and thus had her hoodie pulled up to try and blend in a bit more. Her hands, poking out from the sleeves, at least looked more like gloves.

She wondered how Jess managed to not want to just hide all the time. Neither one of them could blend in easily.

She shrugged and adjusted her grip on her bag. A few clothes, including a pair of jeans that didn't look too bad on crystal skin, and a new novel she'd been meaning to read.

She pushed the button for the elevator to the ground floor.

	"Heather! Hold on a sec!" Lenny called, quickly making his way to the elevator. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Heather smiled, pressing the door open button. "I got it, Lenny." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks, heather," he says, smiling in turn. Thank goodness for large elevators, maneuvering a wheelchair could be difficult enough. He notes the bag. "Shopping successful I take it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just jeans and a couple hoodies, really," she told him. "Oh, and a novel." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh yeah? What's the novel about?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-10-02 09:15 pm UTC (link)
	"It's called Snuff," she explained. "It came out about a year ago, right when all the crazy started..." Damn. Had it really been a year? It didn't seem nearly that long ago. "But I never got a chance to get it. It's about this guy, Sam Vimes, who's a policeman, in a medieval fantasy city, only here, he's forced into a family vacation in the countryside."

	He listens attentively then frowns. "It's been that long since you could read it?" Lenny mutters something darkly about this hero-thing under his breath. "Well, at least you have the opportunity now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-10-02 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	She shrugged a little. "Been kinda busy. Between all the crazy and the art show and then the super-villains..." A small smile. "Yeah. Been looking forward to it." The elevator, which had been moving quite smoothly, suddenly jerked slightly, then stopped. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lenny had been contemplating how nice it was to see Heather smile when the elevator stopped. "The hell?" The door wasn't opening so..ah shit. "Heather..I think we're stuck." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-10-02 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	Heather frowned and pushed the floor button. "Well... crap." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-10-02 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	Lenny tries the emergency call button. "Hello? Anybody there? The elevator's stuck!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-10-02 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	It took a moment, but the voice on the other end did respond. "Yeeeah," it said after a moment, sheepishly. "We've got elevators out over the whole mall. We've got a crew on it, but it might take some time to get to you." Another frown from Heather. "Well. That's just... great." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-10-02 10:09 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay," Lenny managed to say politely before muttering to himself. He looks over at Heather. "Well..the company could definitely be worse." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-10-02 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	That got another small smile out of Heather. "Definitely," she agreed. She set her bag down. "Two big super-heroes," she joked. "Laid low by the mighty elevator." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-10-02 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	He chuckles. "Hey, don't underestimate the sheer fiendishness that the elevator is capable of." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-10-02 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Is it a spawn of evil? Or just misguided?" Heather wondered. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-10-02 10:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, it serves a vital cosmic function so I'm going to go with misguided," Lenny said in the tone of a mock-theorist. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-10-02 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Good then," Heather agreed. She looked down through the glass of the elevator, watching little pips of violet light rise from the different floors of the mall. "So..." she ventured for a second, "we haven't talked much. About the party." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-10-02 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	And Lenny blushes instantly. Heather will be able to see a smattering violet light around him. "Um..no, no we haven't," Lenny admits. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-10-02 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	Heather would blush too, if she could. "Thanks," she said. "Again. For that. The guy was a creep." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-10-02 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	"You're welcome," Lenny said. "Ugh, I knew guys like that in high school." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-10-02 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	"Cindy's friend Avia apologized for him," she added. "Don't know why they're friends with someone like that." She shook her head. "Yeah. Me too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-10-02 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	They were starting to get off topic. "So..things were said at that party," he began awkwardly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-10-02 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	Definite driftage. "I said more than I should have," she said. "It's just... getting so easy to see lines of love and attraction." Great. That wasn't gonna make it more awkward. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-10-02 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	"There was nothing wrong with what you said," Lenny assured. "Heck, I was pretty free with what I was saying too, but..I did mean it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-10-02 11:32 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, well," Heather said, "I meant what I said too." "I like you, Lenny. A lot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-10-02 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	He looks over at her, the violet light bright and stable now. "Back at you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-10-03 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	Well. That was quite a sight to see. "So, um, just so you know, I've got all kinds of raging issues." Granted, who among them didn't? ...Harry, probably. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-10-03 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	"Heck Heather, look at me," Lenny says indicating his wheelchair. "Aside from this I've got a bunch myself. I even gave Cindy a list in numerical order." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-10-03 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	That got a smile out of her. "Itemized list, huh? Bet that went well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-10-03 10:27 pm UTC (link)
	"As well as can be expected when you're venting," Lenny confessed. "Can't say it's all resolved, but I'm trying." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-10-03 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	"That's good," she said. "I'm glad you're still with us, Lenny." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-10-03 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, well..I'm finding reasons to stick around." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-10-03 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	She moved closer to him and leaned down. "Me too," she said, as crystal lips found his. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-10-03 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	He was initially surprised, but didn't hesitate to press his lips to hers. They were softer than he imagined. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-10-03 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	Softer than she expected too, for she was almost certain she could taste his lips on hers. So very strange... She broke away, after a moment. "That was nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-10-03 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	When she parts from him, he takes a moment to catch his breath. "Very," he agrees. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-10-03 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	"We should definitely do that more often," Heather said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-10-03 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	Lenny's breathing hypes a little faster. He gets on the intercom. "How are you guys coming along? Not close yet, right?" Maybe there was a hopeful tone there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-10-04 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	"We're getting to you as soon as we can, Sir. Please be patient." Heather smirked. "Not eager to go anywhere?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2012-10-04 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	"I hear you. Take your time." Lenny smiled at her. "Leaving isn't as appealing as it was a couple minutes ago." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-10-04 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	A little chuckle. "I hear that." (Reply to this)(Parent)
