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.

	"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)

	"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)

	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)

	Getting back out to the car and settling in to let traffic thin a little, he opens her door for her, with a wink, then moves around to the driver's side and settles in. "I'll do my best not to disappoint then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2011-12-04 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	She leaned over and kissed his cheek. "I know you will." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2011-12-04 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	He leans over, kissing her more firmly. The car isn't ideal for it, but at least its somewhat more acceptable than too much PDA in the stands. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2011-12-04 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	Anya happily returned the kiss and may have groaned just a little. When the kiss ended she smiled. "See? You don't disappoint." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He relaxes back in the driver's seat, reaching over to rest a hand on her knee, rubbing just slightly. "That's always the goal. Looks like its starting to clear too, ready to go?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2011-12-05 12:12 am UTC (link)
	"Ready when you are," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He pulls out into traffic. Its slow going for a good half hour, getting through the lot and the crowded streets around the stadium before things open up. He heads from there to where they can catch transit out to Bourbon Street, not even attempting to drive anywhere near the French Quarter, mostly more accessible on foot.
