Issue 1 Downtime

The limos pulled up to a large and luxurious home in a very posh suburb of London. The gates swung open automatically as the cars approached the gates, and then stopped a short distance from the mansion, so that the party goers could make their way out of the limos and to the house.

Sara steps out of the car. Riding in a limo is one thing, but the mansion looks impressive to the point of almost being intimidating to her. Stopping just outside the car she waits. "I propably should have expected that, but that's one swank place to hold a party at..."

"Holy cow, how rich IS this Stark, anyway?"

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 6:18 am**

"I have no clue about the business world, but he propably can afford anything money can buy."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 6:19 am**

"Man, I wish I had that much. It'd be nice, wouldn't it? To never have to worry about any of that kinda stuff? I mean, Mom and Dad are well off, but this is something else..."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 8:02 am**

"Yeah, not having to worry is nice, but aside from that..." she shrugs before wordlessly picking Will up and setting him down on the necklace she's wearing like on a swing.

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 8:03 am**

"What the...oh...Lord damn it. We haven't even made it into the...house yet. This is...hard."

Will adjusts himself on the pendant, holding on to each side as if he as on a swing.

"At least the view is nice..." he smirked back up to Sara's....chin.

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 8:06 am**

"Mhmm. And no peeking down from there!" she chuckles.

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 8:10 am**

"And yet, that's my favorite view of all," he smiled back up, patting Sara on the collarbone. "The location was YOUR idea."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 8:15 am**

"It's possible I did not think that one all they way through." she chuckles before continueing in a teasing whisper. "It wouldn't be much of a punishment then though, so no oogling."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 8:19 am**

"Yes, ma'am," Will winked back up at her, sotto voice.

He formed a loop from his "back" between his wings. "If you wanted you could...attach me, so I don't fall down if you have to make any sudden movements," he suggested.

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 8:22 am**

"Let's safe 'chaining you up' for when I do catch you sneaking a look." she smiles.

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 8:26 am**

"And here I thought I WASN'T allowed to look," he smirked up at her. "Yet here you are, offering a reward..."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 8:28 am**

"Shush you or I'll have to think of something worse."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 8:31 am**

"I'm all a-quiver down here," he smiled. "And thanks for doin' it" he whispered, before changing the subject.

"Iron Man, man--Iron Man. I know Xavier is at the uni, and we've seen Wolverine and Jean...but still..."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 8:37 am**

"Yeah... Even after two months it's still a weird world to step into. At least Mr. Stark is supposed to be rather approachable, else I'd feel even weirder to be invited to a millionair's party."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 8:39 am**

"A millionaire? Sara, I've seen a millionaire's house. I've seen a millionaire's event. This is Tony Stark--we're way way over 'million'. He uses millionaires as maids, I'd say."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 8:41 am**

"Are you trying to make me nervous?" she frowns just a little. "I know he propably spends more per hour than my parents make in a year..."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 8:48 am**

"Not tryin' to do that," Will smiled, gently. "It's just...it's IRON MAN. I watched him on TV when I was a kid...as both Iron Man AND Tony Stark."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 8:57 am**

"I know... that's exactly why I feel like I don't belong here..."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:10 am**

"Of course you do--we were invited. Trust me, I've never seen someone THIS rich...yet they're normally just like us. One foot in front of the other."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:16 am**

"No, they're not. Most of them act like Victoria to people from my social background. Mr. Stark propably won't, but he's the exception."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:20 am**

"There's nothin' shameful with your class, Sara. Victoria's a little...I can't say it...to everyone."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:27 am**

"She's an extreme case, but I'm not stupid. I've seen and heard how people think about my dad. He'd never get invited to something like this or even something scaled down by, like, a factor of hundred and even then he would be ignored by at least half the people there or they'd 'kindly' ask him to leave."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:31 am**

"Well," Will said, carefully. "Your family doesn't...live in the same circles as some others...it surely would seem a little awkward...not that there's anything...y'know...with it. Just...a slightly different culture."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:40 am**

"Exactly, except that one of those groups thinks they're better. And even when they're being 'nice' they just end up pitying you."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:46 am**

"We don't mean to commiserate, you know...we're not...we don't mean to act finer..."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:52 am**

"But you think you are, on purpose or not, got it." she frowns.

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:58 am**

"I don't...I'm not....not over you..." he stutters, "and it's just...different, that's all. My dad would have just as much trouble fittin' in at a day in your folks house as vice versa...just 'cause we have nicer stuff doesn't make us nicer....that's what I think, anyway..."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:03 am**

"Well that's not how the rest of the world thinks though." she sighs. "Just... forget it, I don't want to argue with you. Let's just enjoy the party."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:08 am**

"The rest of the world can go screw," Will said, a tad uncharacteristically. "We've got you and me, and the rest of 'em can go hurl themselves off of a cliff."

"Anyway, your an X-Man, and that means your in Stark's circle, anyway. Still--I think I had an Iron Man action figure and everything..."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:23 am**

"I think I'll be able to deal. As long as there won't be a Flowstone action figure." she smiles faintly.

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:28 am**

"I dunno, I'd have to...acquire one," Will smiled. "I should see if someone can make custom ones..."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:32 am**

"Please don't. It'd be weird..."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:35 am**

"Tee hee. Oh, alright. I still think it would shatter cuteness levels. You'd look nice in synthetics..."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 12:12 pm**

Veronica gazed up at the mansion, feeling much like Cinderella at the Prince's ball.

"... wow."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 12:15 pm**

Simon got out of the limo carefully, not wanting to disturb Chloe from her perch upon his shoulder. That coupled with his enormous hat made for an interesting exit for the normally quite agile and acrobatic young man.

"Yarr, she looks ripe for the plunderin'."

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 12:38 pm**

'Green Arrow' exited the limo, smirking a bit as he took a good look at the mansion. Yeah, it was pretty much how he imagined it.

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 1:51 pm**

Victoria, dressed appropriately as a fairly seductive vampire queen, made her way through the crowd. "And I'll thank you both not to make assumptions about my attitude or my 'circles,'" she said, very clearly, in a sideways murmur at Sara and Will.

Posted: **Sat Aug 08, 2009 1:53 pm**

Ryan, gentlemanly as ever held the door to the limo open and held a hand out to help Misty out of the car as he glanced around the scene. "And Uncle Tony outdoes himself as always," he mused.
