A challenge is a challenge
So a bet was laid before him, he'd have to catch her when she had no clothes. He can't help but take her seriously. Rigging the locks to the bathroom was no big deal. She's also had some long days, and he's plenty quiet, so he's pretty sure making off with every item of clothing, the towels - pretty much every scrap of cloth but the washcloth she was using for her shower went unnoticed.
Ok, so sure, he could have peeked, but that isn't half as fun as listening to her reaction.
Everything is laid out neatly on her bed, her blades haven't been disturbed, and so on, and sure, she's a teleporter, but he's pretty sure she's not going to go anywhere that way if its not an emergency and she's unarmed.

He settles in a bit down the hall, sipping at a cup of coffee.

	He nods. "I just don't do well with cages for too long, no matter how jeweled they are. Still, glad it worked out for you. Long as I have gas money and a stretch of road, whatever its form, I'm pretty happy. Coffee, smokes and the rest are bonus right after that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There is something to be said for the simple things in life," she smiled. She poured another shot and handed him the bottle. She was starting to feel the effects of the vodka. "But with my powers I was able to get away whenever I had some time. That is how I found you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He takes another shot, definitely more relaxed than he was ten minutes ago. "Damn right, I'm a pretty simple thing. Least its how I always prefer it. Still, damned glad you found me. Not only was that place pretty bare of even the simple things, I was running out of road." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've never had that happen before. I've prepared for things being there when I open a portal, but this was the first time something, someone as the case was, was actually there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm going to guess your power has some built in safeguards to keep you from opening something up right next to something. When your portal opened, it was a little speck of light in the distance. I'd have missed it if the place had had any real light, but it was just endless grey. I had to ride hell bent for leather to make it before it closed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 08:49 am UTC (link)
	She nodded. "Dimensional portals do not open near things. The ones within a dimension do because I know where I'm going." She put down another shot. "Do you need money for the pizza?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If you want to cover it, go ahead. I won't ever object to saving a few bucks, but I did have a few bucks. Not a lot, but it covered the movies, some gas, it'll cover dinner if needed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 08:53 am UTC (link)
	"I will cover it," she said. She had money available to her. She didn't flaunt it or waste it. A girl had to have some secrets. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Far be it from me to argue. Should be arriving soon. Thanks again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 08:56 am UTC (link)
	"Now what are you thanking me for? I have not done anything except offer to pay for dinner." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2009-12-23 08:57 am UTC (link)
	"And cooked, and kept me in smokes, and made coffee in the mornings, and took care of a place to stay. Not exactly nothing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 08:58 am UTC (link)
	"It is nothing," she said. "We have a common goal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nuh uh, it'd be nothing if we were huddling in a Russian bunker somewhere subsisting, or I was, while you teleported out and took care of the recon. Which would technically be about as efficient. I don't want for much, but I appreciate where my meals are coming from, y'know?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 09:03 am UTC (link)
	She nodded. "I can understand that," she said. "Do you think they'll all show up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"That depends. The two chicks were pretty hot for me, so probably, the Drake kid, rumor has it the Drakes love wild adventures. So that leaves the Olympian. If you showed him a little leg or flashed your tits, he'll be here. Otherwise he might get drunk and forget." he replies with a wink.

"Yeah, they'll be here. Only question in my mind is if the winged chick is gonna bring trouble with her."

Irina blinked and then laughed. She was a bit tipsy from the vodka, but Nicholas was amusing. "You touch the Romanova girl and I will have to kill you," she said, not entirely joking. It was her duty to protect the Romanov family. "The Olympian will show. I will be going to pick him up when it is time for the meeting."

"Oh? You think she will bring someone with her?"

"The Romanova girl was hanging out with some real serious beefcake most of the time I was there. I got a feeling that if she got touched, you'd be part of a line of people not too happy with me, so she's safe, promise."
He raises a brow at her certainty after his comments.
"Good to know. And yeah, she might. She wasn't real happy with a stranger showing up who couldn't explain much. And she was at the place with your Tsarina's son, so if we have a weak link, she's it."

	"It will not be a problem if she brings him," Irina said. "He cannot be duplicated as well." Irina smiled. "If they do not show, it would not be hard to make them show." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not worried about him, more worried about the X-Men. They travel in packs, and she gets all paranoid and passes it on, then they won't be the only ones crashing the party." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 09:18 am UTC (link)
	"Then we get rid of them. It does not take much to send someone to another place for awhile." She smiled and it was a little on the cold side. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2009-12-23 09:19 am UTC (link)
	He nods. "We just be careful. You're good, some of them aren't too bad either, and I'm sure they've fought some teleporters. We have the area well scouted, any sign of anyone who wasn't invited, we grab the kids we want and go. We can make nice later." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 09:21 am UTC (link)
	Irina nodded. "Yes. Sounds like a reasonable plan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2009-12-23 09:23 am UTC (link)
	"Bullshit. Its a terrible plan put together by a Russian black ops agent and a demon possessed drifter on a little too much vodka. But it'll probably work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
