Housewarming

The new apartment awaits its guests. Brand new folding chairs line the walls of the dining room, and the living room is as clean as possible.

Almost everything is ready. Let the housewarming begin!

Alex smiles back. "Thanks.

"Anytime you and your friends wanna get out of the bar, just let us know. We'll get the popcorn and make a movie night of it. And I'll even get out of the way and let you and the girls be all girly." He'll hide in his bedroom.

"We usually just use Steph's room." Makita grins, imagining the damage she and Steph could do to Alex's new place.

"So, you could use s change of scenery. And I have a kitchen. And we have a great pizza place nearby. Better than the Bar, even." Well, not really, but Knox is a Gotham and Surrounding Areas booster. "Have you seen Steph, by the way? I was hoping she'd come."

"I haven't. She'll probably show up late and make some sort of ridiculous entrance." Makita grins, imagining Steph popping in and pulling some sort of big prank.

"I've had two guests materialize from thin air. I think she'd have to go a long way to top that." Thoough he bests Steph would try.

"Don't let her hear you say that, Alex. You know she'll take it as a challenge."

"Actually, it might be fun to see what she does, since she's not a psychic or a demigoddess.

"She isn't one, right?" You can never tell in the Bar.

Makita shrugs, "Not that I've seen, but..." she grins and waggles her eyebrows.

"I hope not. She's a handful as it is." Though if she were that powerful, she'd be alive, so maybe this isn't a happy line of thinking.

"Yeah," that gets a firm nod, "I like her like she is." A lot, really.

"So do I. Which is funny, given that she really didn't like me much at first. Bats and reporters don't usually mix." He smirks a bit.

[identity profile] runmakitarun.livejournal.com 2007-07-02 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah? Well, I think most people mix with Steph pretty good. She's very..." Makita shrugs, not sure what the word is for what Steph is.

"Lively? Boisterous? Cute?" All three fit.

[identity profile] runmakitarun.livejournal.com 2007-07-02 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah... and other stuff too." Turns out that Steph is all that and a bag of chips.

"Looks like she has a fan club.

"Just make sure it doesn't go to her head," says the reporter with the healthy ego.

[identity profile] runmakitarun.livejournal.com 2007-07-02 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Right," Makita snorts, "I can still take her down if I need to." Not in a fair fight, of course, Makita doesn't have the training, but Makita also never fights fair.

Knox may remember a certain snow ambush.

"Heh. That's good to know, in case she ever turns on me again." Yes, he remembers.

"Anyway, I better see how the rest of the guests are doing. Have fun!"

[identity profile] runmakitarun.livejournal.com 2007-07-02 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"I will." Makita smiles slightly, "Thanks, Alex." For a lot more than she can say.
