Test Scene: Some family time
Well, this was quite a view! New york city is so very very different from San Fransisco. in the times he went to the city streets above the Atlas Sanctuary, it was often with Uncle Bob under the cover of his projections and often for small things. A visit to the diner Dad loved so much. A visit with the sea life with Mother. Hell, sometimes Uncle Ken snuck him up for some late night shenanigans that he was never supposed to mention to Dad and Mother and they always got caught for it. But now here he was, on his own.

It was really really weird to him. he'd walk by, giving smiles to people, and not getting them in return. It's kinda weird, but like Aunt Venus said the love is there in the people, you just have to know how to reach it. he doesn't have a magic song like her, but Derek is going to keep smiling and looking around Grand Central Station while he waits for his cousin-wait. nephew. His two years older than him nephew.

	Mac walked into the station, keeping a good eye out. ...there. He hurried over grinning. "Hey, Highness!" Mac's propensity to make polite court terms sound exactly like 'Dude' was in full swing. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Mac!" Well, this was a happy time! This was great! There he was, his cousin! Sure, it had been quite a while since Derek actually got to see him (well, not really, but when you're the only one your age any amount of time gone between seeing peers is a long time) so he made sure he showed it! He walks right over to his cousin and gives him a big ol' hug! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wumph!" Now this was the kind of bro-hug a guy didn't get in the surface often! "Good to see you, too. You eaten?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	childofatlas 2011-09-14 02:02 am UTC (link)
	"No, I hadn't. I know San Fran way too well for my own good. I don't know much about anything else," Derek responded once he let go of the hug. He was eager to go out and see the sights! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then let's get some pizza. Trust me, San Fran's great for a lot of things, but they can't match us on pizza. Neither can anywhere else, no matter what people from Chicago or Skrullos tell you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	childofatlas 2011-09-14 02:11 am UTC (link)
	Derek thinks for a moment. "I've had Chicago style, but that was at a restaurant in San Fran, and I've never been to Skrullos so I really can't say if it's good or not. Still, NY is known for the pizza. Lead on, Nephew!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2011-09-14 02:16 am UTC (link)
	And Mac will take his uncle to one of the finest pizza places he knows, one of the ones he goes to with Andrea. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	childofatlas 2011-09-14 02:36 am UTC (link)
	The smell of the place is what gets him first. It smells amazing. "Oooh. This smells awesome. Is this the best in New York or your favorite?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2011-09-14 02:40 am UTC (link)
	"That's....what do they call it... a false dichotomy? My girlfriend and I have concluded this is one of the best places in New York." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	childofatlas 2011-09-14 02:55 am UTC (link)
	"Dichotomy is what you're looking for," Derek says, missing the second part for a bit before it clicks in his head. In an instant he smiles big before unleashing a torrent of questions. "You have a girlfriend, Mac? Oh awesome! What's she like? What's her name? How long have you two known each other? Is she cool? Does she have any hobbies?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2011-09-14 03:01 am UTC (link)
	"She's beautiful and a genius and a Mets-Knicks fan, her name is Andrea, We've known each other 10 months, she's Awesome, and she studies carnivorous plants and works with the Fantastic Four when she's not doing college stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	childofatlas 2011-09-14 03:12 am UTC (link)
	"Pfft. It's all about the SF Giants and the Warriors. And she works with the Fantastic Four? Cool! is she an analyst of some kind or is she..." Something clicks from what was just said and his own recent studies. Awesome, she was, with the extra emphasis, and her name was Andrea. "You mean -" Oh wait, IDs and whatnot. "...Awesome Andrea of the Four?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2011-09-14 03:18 am UTC (link)
	Mac grinned and nodded. "Nicest girl in the world." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	childofatlas 2011-09-14 03:33 am UTC (link)
	"Wow. Look at my nephew go!" Derek said aloud, elbowing his cousin at the news. "Good on you. You're dating someone that important in the organization. That's pretty cool. It's weird to think my itty bitty cousin is dating, let alone Andrea." Is there ribbing? Oh yes there is. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2011-09-14 03:39 am UTC (link)
	Mac faux-pouts. "You see, this is where you're lucky you outrank me, so I don't kick your ass. 'Cause don't think the fact that you could kick my ass right back deters me in the slightest." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	childofatlas 2011-09-14 03:46 am UTC (link)
	"Uh huh. To say nothing of the fact you're scrawny and have hippy hair, right, nephew. I bet you sing trip out songs and put flowers in your hair, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Uncle, if this is a request for a beatdown, I can reserve the Avengers training room for tomorrow evening." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	childofatlas 2011-09-14 03:52 am UTC (link)
	Derek snickers at that. "No, no. I don't feel like breaking the Avengers stuff tomorrow. I'd rather take in the sights and ejoy the terrible wonderful food. Maybe the day after tomorrow. And maybe add a bit more to your insurance plan. It's been a while since I last let loose." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll take that as a request to fight dirty, Highness." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	childofatlas 2011-09-14 04:16 am UTC (link)
	"Dirty in the way of sand in the eye or just drag out knuckle duster?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2011-09-14 04:20 am UTC (link)
	"Just a little something that, were it anyone but you, would render the fight pretty pointless," Mac says. "So how are Grandmother and the Khan?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mother and Dad are doing fine. Before I left they were planning a big something against Temujin in Taiwan somewhere," Derek said, not quite as happy as he was a second ago. Temujin always turned his mood sour. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mac raised his rootbeer slightly, toastlike. "Here's to getting the son of a bitch, then. What kind of pizza do you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	childofatlas 2011-09-14 04:36 am UTC (link)
	"I could go with anything loaded down with meat and cheese. I'm pretty hungry. And as for a drink I'm cool with anything but Mountain Dew." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2011-09-14 04:40 am UTC (link)
	"We'll get you an Abita, then." Yes, Mac drinks microbrewery root beer. Do not question him. An Auxillary corpsman is allowed to indulge himself a little. "And a carnivore special." The orders placed, he looks to his uncle. "So what do you want to see first tomorrow?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Gosh, I don't know. Outside of San Fran and Courtly stuff in Atlantis because of Mother, I've never really gotten a chance to go out and about. I'd say start at some place big like Central Park and then see where we go from there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fleetfootmac 2011-09-14 07:45 pm UTC (link)
	A sympathetic sigh about Court Stuff. "Central Park it is, then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	childofatlas 2011-09-14 07:53 pm UTC (link)
	That gets a big smile. "Cool! It's like a big old swath of green right in the middle of a buncha big old buildings, so that's gotta be different." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Neat! I guess that had to make it a little different than just grass and trees, huh?" And now Dereks gonna give the air a big ol' whiff. Damn, that smells good. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh no! I'm just an innocent little kid just offa the West Coast! What am I gonna do?" This is said in a serious manner, but the big smile and chuckles afterward show that Derek was not cut out for acting. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That'd be pretty funny. 'Hey gimme your walleeeeeeeeeeeee-' as he goes flying into the distance. Or pick them up by the back of their clothes and see them run in place. It's be like the old cartoons," Derek says with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, when it comes to the basic intelligence of New York thugs, you must remember that the only people who could conceivably be dumber than those choosing to commit independent crimes on Atlas turf are those who choose to commit independent crimes in the places with 10 times of the concentratio nof superheroes of any on Earth."
