2nd Date.
Mac showed up, wearing clean and decent but not fancy clothes, to pick up Andrea for their second date. It was hard not to smile at Roberta the receptionist like some kind of idiot.

Andrea arrived a moment later, also dressed quite casually.

She grinned happily and embraced Mac, planting a brief kiss on his lips. "Forgive my lateness. My hair was being most uncooperative."

"No problem," he says happily. "I totally know the feeling."

"Not much, and I didn't mind it. I hope you're ready to head out now, though. I'm getting a little hungry."

"Great." And off they will head to an excellent sandwich shop.

The trip over was quite pleasant. Andrea loves New York City dearly, and it shows, especially when she shares stories about those places or people she knows.

As the approach the sandwich shop, Andrea smiles. "If the food tastes half as good as it smells, I am very impressed."

And Mac listens with interest. And while he's willing to carry his end of the conversation and share his own stories, there's no impulse to make sure his are funnier, or more impressive because they're mostly cosmic or Atlantean.

"It's pretty close," he says, grinning. "Everything's fresh, and the sandwiches are huge. Usedta come here a lot in junior high." A pause. "Do you mind a personal question?"

"You didn't have a junior high, right. You just started out developmentally our age? And if I'm getting that right, um....why?"

She nods. "I was developmentally an early teenager when I was first creative, but my personality matrix advanced rather quickly."

She goes on. "Some of it simply has to do with the construction of my personality matrix. Doctor Richards and Kristoff based it upon how my father's brain is organized, combining it with some ideas of their own. My father also believed I would be able to better fit in as I was, than as a more-child-like android."

"There were certainly some advantages," Andrea agrees. "Though I suspect I would have benefited as well."

"Yeah...I sure don't know anything about personality matrices, but if it had to grow through those bits all by itself, you'd have had more time just hanging out with your dad before all the grown-up stuff, huh?"

"Indeed," Andrea agrees. "The time I did have "growing up" as it was was quite wonderful, but more of it would have been very nice."

She nods. "He does, actually. He is currently dating SHIELD Agent Cheesecake."

"Awesome. I guess for girl stuff it's mostly been the FF ladies, huh? With me, well, it's kind of funny when one's two Strong Male Role Models are Namor and Dad. It's responsibility either way, but way different kinds."

She nods. "Mrs. Grimm, Mrs. Richards, and Cassandra have largely filled in maternal roles for me, as necessary. They have been most wonderful to have in my life."

"That's great..." And then Mac finally looks up from the conversation to realize.. right. They hadn't ordered. "Crab Cake sandwich and a glass of water, please, and the lady will have the..." He looks to Andrea. "Hankering for anything in particular, or would you like a recommendation?"

"I would be pleased with a recommendation," Andrea tells him.

"The Hot Roast Beef is, well, fantastic." And if she assents, he'll relay the order.

"Great." And they'll order, find a table, and in just a few minutes, their sandwiches are prepared and Mac fetches them from the counter.

Andrea smiles. "That does smell fantastic," she tells him.

"So how goes the delivery business?"

"Great. The job's really just my speed."

And now he will stuff his face as politely as possible.

Andrea grins as well, picturing Mac in a toga. Hmm. Yes.

"I shall make sure you do."

Mac's grin gets just a little bit sheepish. "Yes, ma'am."

"Yeah, Mr. Storm's cool. And Mom's cool. Grandmother, too, but, identical genetics aside, she and Mom are very different people."

She nods. "I imagine so. You have quite the family of fascinating individuals."
