Carolyn sat at a table at a small outside cafe in Metropolis. Iota gave her a slip of paper with the cafe's address and a time on it and told her to be there. Had it been anyone else, Carolyn would have been suspicious, but she trusted Iota. Maybe Iota had a lead on a job. It wasn't out of the realm of possibility.

Carolyn ordered a cup of espresso and waited.

Dean showed up at the address Iota given him. Something about a meaning she had set up. He walked up to the cafe whistling Surfer Girl. He was really hoping to see one of the Supers in action while he was in Metropolis since he didn't like to spend too much time there in this city. Not exactly a good city for a hitman to operate in.

"So you got a meeting here to or something," Dean says to Carolyn walking over to her table outside.

	Dean sighs too. "Mind some company for lunch since I'm here anyways." Since he had traveled this far he might as well get some lunch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah," Dean says, "I was kind of expecting something similar. All well." Though his bank account could have definitely used the pick me up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, it's just that she's family. She did this because she's looking out for me. I'd like to be the one to talk to her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well if she didn't care I'd probably be dead in a ditch or something already," Dean admits with a shrug. "To be honest I find the city to be a little too clean for my liking. But there are still some cool sights here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2013-07-12 12:37 am UTC (link)
	Carolyn nodded. "Yeah. Iota has saved my behind a few times." "It is a little clean, but the museums and art galleries make it worth it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Carolyn nodded. "I know. Thankfully we have cities like Gotham to worry about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dean laughed. "Plus Hub City and Las Vegas. But they aren't really place's I'd worry about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
