Monday Night Football
Anya was in a bad mood from the argument with Toni about Genosha, but she promised Jimmy she would go to the Giants game with him and do some tailgaiting. The Toni stuff could be pushed back for the evening. Tomorrow she could think about it and deal with it.

The game was in New Orleans which would make it a challenge, but nothing so simple as distance would stop a Stark. This would also be her first Giants game of the year which was a surprise. It was a testament to how busy her life was right now. Usually she didn't miss a game.

She had on a pair of jeans, her favorite boots, a Giants jersey, a matching turtleneck underneath it, and a Giants ballcap. She had a jacket with her as well since it was supposed to be in the mid-40s. It still wouldn't be difficult to recognize her, but maybe it won't be so bad. She was really wearing anything to make her stand out. Blending in was usually a good thing.

She checked herself in the mirror one more time and then headed toward Jimmy's hotel room. Bridget would have made sure everything they needed would be waiting for them downstairs in the rented truck. The woman was a godsend and Anya needed to give her a raise.

She knocked on Jimmy's door.

	Despite football games taking three hours, Anya felt like the time flew. She had been under the influence of a good time. She was a little disappointed when the game ended because the game was over and because the Giants lost. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Buck is still socializing a bit with the people around them, taking more ribbing from the Saints fans, assuring Giants fans they'll get them next time, eventually packing up, offering Anya a hand, and heading for the exit. "Enjoy the game?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I did. You?" she asked as she took the offered hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He keeps a good grip on her hand and remains pressed in close, used to this, and well aware how easy it is to lose someone in the press of people on exiting the crowded stadium. "Yeah, everything but the result was perfect!" he calls back over the noise of the crowd. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Agreed," Anya said. "Maybe next week we'll get a win. Though I think they're playing the Packers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, the Pack is always a tough one, but at least they have them at home, which can't hurt. We can definitely go to that game if you'd like... either go tailgating out there, or we can try it your way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd love to go, provided I'm in the country. I'd have to check with Bridget to see what my schedule is like." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds like a plan. Just let me know. If you can't make it, no big deal. I know Stark business takes you all over... but I'm really enjoying spending time with you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's not Stark business, it's Ren Tech business. My company, I do the leg work according to Dad." Anya smiled. "I'm enjoying spending time with you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2011-12-04 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Ren Tech then, either way. Business first. But if you're free, I'd love to get together for the game, or maybe some time this week for burgers... but for now... it'll be a while before we can get out of the lot so we'll need to find something to do to kill some time... but after that, Bourbon Street."

	"I'll have Bridget copy you in on my schedule," she said. "If you're hungry later I know this excellent restaurant we can go to. Dad and I have been there a few times. It's called the Court of the Two Sisters." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"With my usual schedule, I'm almost always hungry, so if you have recommendations, sounds great. I was thinking of grabbing something in one of the places down the street - crawfish and red beans & rice is always good... but I'm flexible." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This place is excellent," Anya said. "It's a place the locals go to." "So what's been going on with the Avengers? I'm a little out of the loop on that side of my life. The company has been an attention and time hog lately." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Vampire cows... like the one Dr. Strange fought, if you can believe that. Otherwise, I'm still kind of getting into the swing of Avengers' stuff. How are things going in Boston with your bunch, anyway?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Vampire cows? Seriously?" she asked as she stopped walking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's definitely more interesting than things in Boston," Anya said. "It's been quiet, which in itself worries me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2011-12-04 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh? Any particular reason, or just not convinced you get a break now and then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You know how it is," she said. "When things are quiet it just means something big is coming." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2011-12-04 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	He nods. "Yeah, I know that feeling. Still, try and enjoy the quiet while you can, I guess. The big things come up whether we take some time in between them or not." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You know, I would actually welcome it. It would help be not think about work for a bit. Well, the other work. I'm tired of meetings and looking at numbers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hmm, anything else I could do, other than bringing on some new super villain catastrophe, to help you relax... maybe not think about disasters or work for a while?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2011-12-04 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	She squeezed her hand. "You're already doing it. Going out with you helps me relax." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2011-12-04 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Fair enough." he replies, returning the squeeze. "I think I can handle that one then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have faith in your abilities," she said. "Total faith." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
