New Year's
The beginning of a New Year, a time for new hopes, new experiences to come. A time to reflect on times past, remembering fond memories happily and trying to put less pleasant thoughts and experiences in the past.

It is a time of renewal, a time of rebirth. And for much of the world, it is a time of celebration. This is no less true for the super hero set as anyone else. If anything, they just have that much bigger of things to look forward to.

"Got room for another at your table?" Angela Holt asks, stepping into view from behind Rose.

The look on Angela's face isn't her usual calm, cool, collected one. Her eyes are bloodshot as though she's been crying heavily. She sits down with a bottle of whisky and looks over at Rose.

"Fuck this year and the next one. Pass the vodka, please." she says, downing a shot of whisky.

	"Have a seat," Rose said, pouring a shot and passing it to Angie. "You alright there, boss? You look like you've been crying your eyes out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah, I have. My...the next best thing to my kid sister just died. She was murdered, Rose." Angela says quietly.

"She was only seventeen. She had her whole life ahead of her. Mickey was out with her boyfriend and some psycho who hates her father attacked them. What kind of grown man goes after a /kid/?" Angela snarls.

"If the bastard wasn't there, we'd be out looking for him right now." she says.

	"Damn," Mickey said, "I'm really sorry to hear, that Angela. I can see why you're drinking." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I hate alcohol, really, but you have to build up a tolerance in college or you don't get to do anything fun...or you get taken advantage of by slime bags." Angela says, taking another shot.

"I dated this guy in college who could drink anybody under the table. It was almost like a super-power of its own. He was smart, and sexy, and funny...unless you made him mad.

And god, he was good in bed. I still miss him, sometimes." Angela says.

	"This is true," Rose said, downing another shot. "Though sometimes drunken sex can be the best sex." She smirked. "One of those long lost love things? Can't say I've been much of a relationship girl myself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I don't know if I'd call it love. We both loved the sex, but...we both had a lot of issues. His dad ran out on him when he was kid and his mom pretty much ignored him for her new family. He was angry, always looking for a fight. He didn't care how big, how many or how often. Rex just liked to fight." Angela says.

"And I've got Mommy issues. We connected over the problems with our parents, but I think we both knew it would never work out, even if I wanted it to. Then he found out I was lying to him and...the bottom fell out. He told me never to come near him or talk to him again." Angela shrugs sadly, taking another drink.

"I saw him again recently with his new girlfriend. I hate that bitch so much." Angie says.

	Rose just listened, taking another shot. "Maybe you should try talking to him anyway?" She didn't know what to say. She was terrible at relationship advice. She'd never really had one. She never let herself get close enough to anyone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yourkingismine 2011-01-01 02:34 am UTC (link)
	"I don't think he'd listen if I did. Besides, it's been years. I really should have moved on by now." Angela says, passing Rose the bottle. "So, you didn't feel like going to an actual party and wanted to make one for yourself?" she asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rosewithathorn 2011-01-01 02:43 am UTC (link)
	"Hey, you can still move on. Or just find someone to be a damn good fuck buddy. Like Meryln. Or Vertigo, though he strikes me as being a real stiff." She took the bottle, grinning as she poured another shot. "Exactly," she said as she downed it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yourkingismine 2011-01-01 03:08 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, it looked like you had Merlyn marked for yourself. But he's got a girlfriend, so I'm not getting involved in that. Vertigo's cute, but you're right. He just seems a bit like a stiff." Angela agrees. "If Zoe weren't underage, I'd have called her. She's a good kid, but she's still a kid. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders, though." she says.

	"I can share," Rose said. "I'm very open-minded." "Hey, I may not be good at the sentimental stuff...but I am a good drinking partner." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yourkingismine 2011-01-01 04:23 am UTC (link)
	Angela laughs. "Or we could just forget the guy and go at it ourselves. And yes, you're good company to drink with, Rose, despite how you try to drive everyone off with your gruff demeanor." she says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rosewithathorn 2011-01-01 04:33 am UTC (link)
	"We could. Like I said, I am very open-minded." She laughed, downing a shot. "Aww, I'm touched, Angela." She smirked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't tempt me. I've had enough to drink that I'm feeling the same way...though you're the rare girl I'd consider going for sober." Angie grins. "I...apologize for not telling you about Slade earlier. I read the file saying you two didn't get along, but I didn't know you hated him. You still pulled off the job, though, and I appreciate that." she says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rosewithathorn 2011-01-01 04:54 am UTC (link)
	"You sure about that? There's nothing wrong with a little temptation, you know," Rose said, grinning. "It's okay," she said. "I got my paycheck. I'm over it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Glad you aren't holding the Slade thing against me." she says.

"The Bible says different stuff about that." Angie says, taking another shot.

"It's okay to be tempted, so long as you don't give in. Or, you can give in as long as you don't enjoy it. Or you can enjoy it as long as you don't do it again. So, technically, if we only do this once, it's not a bad thing." Angie says.

	"We can pretend we don't enjoy it. If it makes you feel better." Rose downed another shot. "I don't mean to brag but you will enjoy it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yourkingismine 2011-01-01 05:14 am UTC (link)
	"Girl, I was just telling you what the Bible said. I'm an Atheist." Angie smiles. "The hotel I'm staying at has a great bar, by the way. We could always continue drinking later." she says, sliding her chair back from the table. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rosewithathorn 2011-01-01 05:21 am UTC (link)
	"We too," said Rose, grinning. "So there's not much for us to worry about." She stood up, grin still intact. "Lead the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Angela gets up, and dies the number of a cab service she knows by heart. She asks for a particular driver and is told that she'll be picked up in five minutes. "You've got five minutes to back out if you want." she says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rosewithathorn 2011-01-01 05:26 am UTC (link)
	Rose grinned. "Nope. I don't back out of great sex." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	yourkingismine 2011-01-01 05:43 am UTC (link)
	"I like your confidence." Angie smiles. Minutes later, the cab pulls up and Angie opens the door. "I'm up for a preview during the ride over." she grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rosewithathorn 2011-01-01 05:45 am UTC (link)
	Rose smirked. "A preview, huh?" She leaned over, kissing Angie deeply on the lips before they climbed into the cad. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's just one night. Nothing more. Angela thinks as she kisses Rose. Yes, it was going to be a great night to ring in the New Year. (Reply to this)(Parent)
