With great fame, comes great danger
So, they had agreed to go the charity ball.  Heather recognized a few people, she thought.  The mayor, for one.  Maybe a couple local celebrities.  And sadly, a fair amount of media coverage inside, though the team had managed to escape at least some of the attention.

She was carrying  a drink.  Not because she could drink it, but because it at least gave her something to do with her hands.  She was a little uncomfortable, she had to admit, with this much of an overt display of wealth and power.

But it was good for them and good for the city and, more importantly, good for the people they'd helped.  She just had to keep telling herself that.

Helping is important. It is what Cindy would have wanted, yes? So Andy was there. The clothing worn was actual clothing, not the nanomachines. Andy went with a neutral suit.

Andy was keeping to one side, away from people.

Lenny rolls up to Heather. If these people were disappointed he wasn't blue, they'd have to deal with it. Parties didn't count as an emergency to bird-lady. "How ya feeling?" he asked with concerned.

She smiled a little bit. "Pretty good, really. Just not used to all this attention."

She looked over and pointed. "Also, having fun people watching. Those two over there are married, but he's in love with with that woman over there, and she's in love with that woman over there."

"That about it, actually," Heather said. "I only know the first part though because I saw the rings on their fingers when I was mingling over that way earlier. But yeah. The rest is pretty easy to see."

Jess is trying to enjoy herself. The whole thing is just weird as hell for her. People are acting like they're heroes. Sure they did the right thing but cops or firemen would've done the same thing.

That's what she tells some high up cop she ran into. She also got quite a few compliments on her dress.

And she noticed that she totally had a shadow this whole time.

This whole thing is making him nervous. He's not used to this kind of attention people are giving them, but he's doing this for the others. It's a team thing and that meant he should be there.

It didn't make him any less nervous. But he'd admit the sunglasses made him feel a little bit better.

So he sticks close to Jess and follows her around the party, close enough that anyone wanting to talk to either of them will probably end up talking to her instead. She was the more confident and charismatic one after all, so he stands to the side and smiles politely but tries to stay quiet.

Of course Jess keeps f;lashing him smoothing looks. She wants him to relax. This should be fun and not scary.

Of course she does draw more of the questions. And she's just so freaking polite about it all because some of the people asking questions she actually respects.

He doesn't drink so he has nothing to occupy his hands with and instead opts for keeping them stuffed in his pockets. Seeing Jess's looks he tries shooting her a smile back so she wouldn't worry about him. He really didn't want anyone worrying about him.

"They like you," he smiles once they're free of the small groups that crowd around her whenever they stop to talk with someone.

She blushes and with her green skin it's hard to see just right.

"Only 'cause I told 'em that I wished I was a cop like some of them are. Then I mentioned my Dad. It's a.... kinship thing, I guess. They get I wanted to be a cop. Can't though. Too damn noticeable."

Cindy was cutting checks somewhere discreet, although she didn't want Saishu out of her sight

Thankfully, keeping Saishu close is easy. She hasn't gotten more than 5 feet from Cindy all night. She's working hard on her English, and its getting easier... as long as only one person is talking at once in a controlled setting.

In a place like this, its a constant aggravation... and no one, including Saishu, likes her when she's angry. So aside from all the other reasons to stick by her girlfriend, of which there's plenty, she sticks especially close to her translator, just trusting that whatever she is doing is important.

With telepathic powers, it had been rather simply to cloud the inferior minds around him and gain entry. Easier still to make most people ignore him.

Hector Hammond looked around and allowed himself a small smile of satisfaction. Soon, the Ophidian would be his again. Now... where was that girl...
