Party time!
Since the calendar had turned to the month of September, Iris had been counting down the days until their birthday. She'd been planning the party since back in June. Jai normally had no problem letting her handle the party planning itself.

She had invited all of the Titans, including Pipi and Mitzi, of course. And Jon, Corinna, Traya, Cindy, Jerry, Keith, Cerdian, and Wendi, too. And Riley, because if she didn't invite him, he'd probably tag along with Dinah anyway. She also told Cait that she could bring her mom along, if she wanted to get out of the Tower, and that her parents probably wouldn't mind the company at all. Jai probably invited some people too, though the guest list was pretty much the same between the two of them.

Everything was all set up, and Iris placed the wrapped package that had Jai's gift on the table where the other gifts would go. Grinning from ear to ear, she waited for everyone to arrive.

Michael did not know Jai that well. Aside from their little tangle with the Leviathan and the labor day party, he didn't spend much time at the YJLA headquarters.

But he will not be disrespectful to a birthday, so he decided to make something.

Since he did not know Jai, Michael went basic: a small chain made of electrum which held the flash symbol.

It took Michael almost four hours to get the mixture of gold, silver, and copper right, but the color was now right.

	Jai greets Michael, glad to know that he came out despite not knowing everyone very well. "Hey, Michael, thanks for coming. You want a drink or something?" Jai asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I could go for some soda, yeah. I have your gift. Why are there so many people here? Most of them I don't recognize." Its not saying much, but its true. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Come on, I'll get you one. And thanks, man, that's awesome of you."

He'll walk with Michael over to the table and set him up with is choice Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Sunkist, Creme Soda, Water, or Minute Made Grape Juice.

"This is pretty much the assembled rosters of the YJLA and the Titans, man. We try to do stuff like this all the time so that everyone knows everyone...which most of us do because our parents worked together." Jai chuckles.

"Feel free to mingle and get to know people. I'll intro you if you want it, too." Jai says.

	"The Titans? Were you a member before joining up with the YJLA?" Michael scans the sodas before reaching for the creme soda. "Intro? uh...sure?" (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Cindy finally spots Michael and waves a little in a 'Hey. You. We need to talk.' fashion. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Huh. Michael makes his way to one of the few familiar faces in the crowd after she waves him over. "Hey, Cindy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I suspected as much. Gophering isn't really the best at what you could be useful for, if you ask me. The thing is, my dad's been working with local governments to deal with insurance, clean-up, and reconstruction issues from metahuman-or-alien-related fights and bizarre accidents. Judging by my window, you could be fixing a building or a street in a fraction of the time as most of what could be done, and with much less overhead."

	Michael does not normally get excited. he tries to stay calm and cool. But right now his mind is going a million miles a minute. "Yeah. That's what I was - I mean- is this what I think it is?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Michael isn't really able to answer. All he can do is nod. As well as smile a stupid smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yep, it's what you think it is, then." She hands him her card. "Call me tomorrow, and I can give you the full list of stuff to know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're welcome. I think you'll be really good at it. And besides, it's good for the super-community in general, the more of us involved in stuff like that. Should help mitigate resentment agaisnt metas in general when things happen." (Reply to this)(Parent)
