Lazy Sunday (open)
Anya was spending the day being lazy. Which for her meant camped out on the couch with her laptop and some movies. She hadn't moved off the couch in quite awhile and she didn't intend to move any time soon. She had worked her ass off in the past month to finish up her Independent Study work a week early so she had a break before classes started. New York was home and she needed to be home for awhile.

Her new armor was waiting to be finished and there were new nightclubs to check out, but today she was just going to be lazy. Which meant kicking back and working on coding projects that she had been meaning to do when she got some free time. From Russia With Love was playing on the television, but she didn't pay it much attention. She really didn't need to. She had the thing memorized.

The penthouse was rather quiet for a Sunday. Mom was...somewhere in the penthouse. Anya would guess the gym, but she thought she recalled seeing Mom head into her bedroom. Dad was in the lab of course. Eliza had moved to New Orleans and Dork 2 was...she didn't know where James was. Not even a peep out of Prince Dork.

Her stomach rumbled and she briefly thought about moving to see if there were any leftovers in the fridge. That would require moving though. Maybe in a little bit. Or better yet, maybe a family member would wander by and get her something to eat. There was also takeout.

Later. Anya would eat later once she finished this part of code she was working on. Maybe she'd see if Steve was up for dinner.

	And down the street, a window breaks in a Bath & Body Works, as a giant vine threw a worker out the window. "You treat these poor plants like garbage! You harvest them and use them in your soaps and oils!" A kind of pudgy, tall man stepped out of the store, vines behind him. "No one escapes the Plant King!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"These poor plants!" The Plant King is currently sweeping through the store, knocking various soaps and scrubs onto the floor, waving his arm as the vines knocked them off the selves. "And people wonder why our rain-forests are on the brink of destruction! You keep destroying the vegetation for your bubble baths!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Steve ducked into the nearest alley, shucking his clothes. He'd had the forethought to wear his costume underneath them. From the duffel bag he'd been carrying, he extracted his bow and quiver, along with his sword. Shrunken to half-size, a signal keyed by pressing his belt buckler activated Pym-particles inside, expanding them to full size.

The system had been a bit of a parting gift from Doctor Pym, since Steve could no longer use the particles for super-powers, he could at least use them to better stash his equipment.

He came back out at a run, already notching an arrow, one with an electro-stun head. A leap carried him through the shattered storefront.

"One chance to surrender, bunky."

	"And let these poor plants die in vain!" The Plant King is irate. "Never!" He sent a storm of vines right at Steve. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-01-30 03:17 am UTC (link)
	Steve jumped to the side, out of the way of the vines, letting his electro-arrow fly as he did so. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_rogues 2010-01-30 03:20 am UTC (link)
	"Stand and fight me like a man!" More vines came at Steve. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-01-30 03:48 am UTC (link)
	"How about not?" Steve asked, dodging out of the way again. "Don't want to get any fertilizer on me." He fired a bolo arrow at the Plant King. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_rogues 2010-01-30 04:09 am UTC (link)
	"FERTILIZER!!!" The Plant King is enraged now. "THAT FLITH FORCES PLANTS TO GROW OUTSIDE OF THEIR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, FORCING THEM TO BE MURDERED BY THE CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY!" Of course, he's too busy yelling at Steve to notice the bolo arrow flying right at him, wrapping around his knees. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Honey, do you need any help?" Anya called out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nah, I got this one, babe," Steve called back. "Just this glorified hedge trimmer here." That was it. Get him mad, and then he'd trip when he moved. Nice and easy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_rogues 2010-01-31 03:55 am UTC (link)
	"HEDGE TRIMMER IS ALSO BAD FOR OUR POOR PLANTS! MOTHER EARTH NEEDS NO MORE ABUSE DONE TO HER!" Plant King hopped forward, only to trip over one of his own vines and fall flat on his face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve couldn't help breaking out in laughter. "Man. Why can't they all be this easy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-01-31 04:19 am UTC (link)
	Anya had to laugh. "You're more pathetic than Stilt Man and he's about as pathetic as you can get. What do else can you do? Do you throw tomatoes or other fruit at people?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-01-31 04:33 am UTC (link)
	Steve pulled a pair of hand-cuffs (purple, natch) from a side pouch on his quiver and went about cuffing the Plant King. "Anybody call the police yet?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-01-31 04:34 am UTC (link)
	"I'll do it now," Anya said. She smiled at Steve. "My hero." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-01-31 04:40 am UTC (link)
	Steve grinned, but made sure to play it cool for the witnesses. "Just doing my job, m'lady," he said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya grinned. "I could get used to having my own personal hero. Now all you need is the white horse." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Never been much good with horses, really," he said. "Though I suppose I could try." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We can get you some lessons," Anya smiled and put her arm around his waist. "Desserts on me, or is me, for the rescue." She winked up at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-01-31 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Those," he said with a grin, "are both very good options." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
