Date Night
James had finally gotten around to making plans to take Valeria out on a real date. He planned on dinner and a movie and had even put on clothes from the "mom closet". Normally he didn't care what he looked like, only that he had clothes on, but he wasn't going to embarrass Valeria.

When it was time, he took a cab over to the Baxter Building.

	"I bet they would," Val said with a smile as she opened the door to cab and slid in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	James slid in after her and gave the driver directions. "They both love burgers and I can still be pretty clueless when it comes to things here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Burgers are an American Tradition," she said, grinning widely at him, "It's on the same pedestal as baseball." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So I'm learning," he said as he took her hand and held it. "I didn't have them where I'm from." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She intertwined her fingers in his. "Yeah. Anya told me that where you came from things were...different." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They were," he said quietly. Despite having a great life here, he did miss home. He missed his Tony and his 'siblings'. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's okay," she gave his hand a squeeze, sensing his uneasiness, "We don't have to talk about it, if you don't want to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This world is nice and awesome, and I have my parents, but at times I miss my home world. It's not a nice place, but I still miss it once and awhile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Valeria nodded. "Even if it wasn't the best place, you still had people that you were close to, right? I could see why you'd miss it every now and then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	James nodded. "Azari, Torunn and Pym were like siblings to me. I was even beginning to get along with Hawkeye." James looked off into the distance. "I just wish I could see them and know if they're okay. We were still battling robots when I left." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Val managed a small smile. "I understand. I'd feel the same way if I was taken from the place I was used to and dropped in another reality." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2010-01-05 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	James looked back at her. "There are good things about being here." He smiled. "I don't regret coming, but I'd like to know if they're okay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I hope it doesn't. Ever." He squeezed her hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Me neither," she said, returning the hand squeeze, "I like it here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	James smiled "Good." The cab pulled up to the curb outside a small pizza place. James handed the driver enough to cover the fare and a generous tip. "Thank you," he said as he waited for Val to get out first. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	invisigirl 2010-01-05 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	Val slid out of the cab, hugging her coat around her. It was cold, that was no surprise. Shivering a little, she waited for James to finish paying the driver. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	James exited the cab and put an arm around Valeria. He noticed the shivering. "Let's get you inside where it's warm," he said with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks," she said with a smirk, "You think I'd be used to the weather after living here for my entire life." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	James opened the door and held it open for her. "Sometimes we don't get used to things." He smiled. "After you, milady." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	invisigirl 2010-01-06 01:16 am UTC (link)
	"This is true. Extreme weather being one of those things, I guess." She kissed him on the cheek before walking into the restaurant. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	James smiled and followed her in. He followed her to a booth and waited for her to sit down before he sat down. "Give me a moment and I'll see what time the movie starts so we won't be late," he said as he pulled out his phone. It had been an iPhone but then his sister got a hold of it.

	Val slid over into the booth. "If you find a late enough showing, we can eat dinner without having to worry about rushing. As long as I'm back by eleven-thirty." She smiled. She'd fought Dad BIG TIME to extend her curfew for the evening. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2010-01-06 01:36 am UTC (link)
	James nodded and checked the movie times. "There's a showing in an hour which should give us enough time to eat without rushing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Val smiled, skimming over the menu. "Good. Do you want to split an appetizer?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
