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.

	"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)

	"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)

	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)

	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)

	"When you are sober, you have some reading to do. Files. Information on the X-Men and the Avengers." An inheritance gift from dear old dad. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll do that in the morning, after breakfast. Tonight is dedicated to greasy food, good vodka and cheap entertainment." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 09:26 am UTC (link)
	She grinned. "It sounds like a perfect evening." She poured another shot and handed him the bottle. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2009-12-23 09:28 am UTC (link)
	He winks. "If it were perfect, you'd still be naked and sitting over here." he replies before taking another shot. "But after where I been, believe me, I'll take it." he adds, handing the bottle back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 09:31 am UTC (link)
	Irina laughed. She had to give him credit. He kept trying. "We'll see where the night goes." Though she doubted it would end in her being naked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2009-12-23 09:34 am UTC (link)
	"Tsch, you're too smart for throw-away pick up lines. I just like hearing you laugh. Long as the night ends with me full of pizza and vodka and watching 80's action movies, its the best night I've had in a while." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 09:35 am UTC (link)
	"That means you have to get better pick-up lines, no?" she teased. "I must admit it has been some time since I've had a reason to laugh." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2009-12-23 09:39 am UTC (link)
	He puts his feet up contentedly. "You'd already know me by then and it sounds dangerously like hard work, and any girls worth better pick up lines are probably better off without me." he replies with no hint of sarcasm, but also no real negative emotion behind it. "So, what, Yakov Smirnov really was the only comedian in Russia?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"But I thought you liked challenges? Or am I not worth that kind of challenge?" She quirked a brow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I love challenges, but I'm not quite that jaded kind of bastard yet." he replies, still no serious self-recrimination behind it, just a sort of brutal honesty. "You got money, a government job, supervisors and presumably a future in all that. I have a motorcycle and a demon. That's not good math, you know it, and I know it. If anything happened between us, it'd be a mistake on your part. Granted, I'd make it a hell of a mistake, but we have to work together, and, believe it or not, I'm actually grateful for getting out of that place, and getting a pretty decent roommate in the meanwhile, so if the most I ever get out of you is pizza and vodka, I ain't gonna hold it against you. But don't think it means I'm not going to keep up the pick ups."

	"Pity," she said. "Here I thought I would have have some fun shooting you down no matter how good those pick-up lines got. I love a good challenge too." She gulped down another shot of vodka right before the was a knock on the door. She got up and went to answer it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The comment just gets a grin. "Sorry to disappoint you." He takes another shot from the bottle while she heads off to pay for food, then carefully sets it between them and gets up to go help with the pizzas. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 09:53 am UTC (link)
	"Disappointing, just like every other man," she teased as she set the pizzas down on the small coffee table. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2009-12-23 09:54 am UTC (link)
	He quirks a brow. "You'll never know, at this rate." he agrees pleasantly, digging in right away. "You're right, this goes perfectly with the vodka." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 09:58 am UTC (link)
	"You are probably right," she said as she sat down. She grabbed a slice of pizza and leaned back. "Da, I am always right." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2009-12-23 09:58 am UTC (link)
	"I'll keep that in mind, probably good policy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 10:01 am UTC (link)
	She laughed a bit. "We will get along perfectly as long as you remember that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2009-12-23 10:03 am UTC (link)
	He takes the vodka for another shot, offering it over before he picks up two more slices of pizza. "Ok, so you're saying you'll buy dinner, keep me in smokes, let me keep the naked video of you, give me a place to stay, and make breakfast... and I have to acknowledge you're right? Damn, where do I sign on for this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
