Of course

Walt drank his drink thinking.*Go to the shareholders meeting. Quick trip into the city. You'll be there, make the rounds, excuse yourself early and back in no time. It'll be good for you. Use it as an excuse to get more alone time, like you need more of that, and take the truck. Why bother with the jet, chopper, hover vehicles or any other nonsense? Surely you won't be picking up company. Company that genuinely likes YOUR company. Company who you will then take to see versions of her friends working in a burlesque/strip club/ bordello, right? Right...*

He looked around, his glasses heads up filtering through hundreds of small process and details. Three poles had risen from center main, and left and right stages respectively. To the left a Felicia Hardy Black Cat. To the right a Tomoko Shiretoko Ragdoll who was giving Blake a bit of a stink eye. *Must've had to take her spot last minute* Center stage a Selina Kyle Cat Woman cracked her whip and started her routine while the speakers started pumping out Cat Scratch Fever.

Some of the stares the girls were getting had been diverted but there were enough still learing at Ruby, Blake *and MY Penny! Put your eyes back in your head guy or it'll be the last thing you see before I pluck them out of your sockets and-* Walt shook his head. *Cool it. There's better ways. Don't make more of a scene.*

Looking back at Penny who's eyes were wide gazing around at the transformed establishment and then her friends. She was definitely shocked and trying to process.

*Crap, Minimize damage. Now.*

"Friday"

(("Yes Boss"))

"This place is highscale yes? There's a way to get private rooms and pay for private time with the girls who are amenable to it?"

(("Yes, Boss those things can be negotiated at the main bar to your left."))

Walt looked left and saw the bar from before with Zatanna and the Susan Storm. Was she giving me the stink eye? She pointed to her eyes. *Crap they probably have a rule against devices like the glasses!* Walt quickly took the glasses off and made a show of clearly putting them in his pocket.

"Friday can you negotiate with the house for me?"

(("Finally going to get the ashes hauled, Boss? I actually approve. It's been too long and honestly boring for me. Honestly you should just let me get those hardlight upgrades and-"))

Walt growled. "Not the time. Not the place. Look negotiate us one of the nicest possible rooms they have for the evening as well as Ruby and Blakes company. Request that our meals and drinks be sent there, then generously tip the house in advance for the exact same amount for the trouble we've already caused and are still causing. And no arguments. I don't care what it costs. These folks have been kind putting up with our drama and blunders."

(("Paying double in hush money. Done Boss. You big softie."))

I looked back at the bar where the Susan Storm seemed to be looking at something on a tablet. She did a double take, looked back at me and- *Crud she's coming over here*

Blake saw her too. "Here comes the boss," she hissed."You've really done it now Ruby."

"Oh, no! What do I do?" Ruby panicked. "Wait she just tapped Shulkie and now she's coming over with that massive metal tray of hers. What do you think that means?"

Blake shrugged. "Well first I wouldn't call her that to her face. You know only Jubilee and few others can call Jen that and get away with it and you aren't one of them."

Ruby pouted. "But it so cute! Besides I think she's growing to like me. Crap here they are!"

Penny, not knowing what was going on, stepped in front of Ruby but Walt smiled as he rose from the booth taking her hand without thinking. Blake looked mildly surprised and intrigued while Ruby squeed.

Susan approached but she smiled and shook Walter's and then Penny's hand. "Gentleman and Lady. We appreciate your patronage dear guests and apologize for the delay. Your private vip room is now ready. Jennifer here will bring your food and drinks along and if you four will follow me we'll get you and your party settled immediately." As she turned to lead the way she paused and looked back over her shoulder. "Miss Rose you get a pass... this time. Help Jennifer with the food and drinks."

Ruby nodded her head, "Yes, Ma'am. Thank you, Ma'am."

Jen putting dishes and drinks on the enormous tray gave Ruby a thumbs-up and wink which Ruby quickly returned causing Blake to roll her eyes and Penny to giggle.

They followed Susan across the room. And into a side hall. Walt cleared his throat. Time for some further damage control.

"I'm very sorry for all the trouble, Miss Storm," he began to which she actually laughed.

"Not at all Mr. Stark. I should be thanking you for turning this evening both exceptionally profitable and entertaining!" Seeing his confusion she chuckled. "The girls, Mr. Stark. You're just given them all stories to share, gossip and speculate amongst each other for the next several weeks if not the month and the evening isn't over yet." He hadn't thought about that. "The romantics will make yours out to be love of the ages, while the others will be speculating on how, how often, with who else, who's the dom and who's the sub, and every other conceivable dirty detail and then the two groups will start speculating together. It'll be a trashy romance best seller if we let them publish it when they're done."

"I certainly hope not." Walt muttered. She laughed. "I'm only teasing a little. We value client confidentiality here, have no fear. Still you will be the subject of conversation and entertainment for sometime. If that doesn't frighten you into running for the hills, then I do hope you'll come see us again. We have had mysterious patrons, and entertaining and wealthy and generous patrons. But we rarely get all four in one."

Walt smirked. "And you're not just saying that because I told my secretary to be generous?"

Susan laughed. "No I did actually mean what I said but thank you for more then meeting our nightly quota in under 5 minutes. Honestly this might be our most profitable night all month and that's saying something. " Walt blinked and was about to ask when they stopped. Susan opened the door saying, "The SHH would like to thank you for reserving exclusive use of 'the Sanctorum' for the evening. Our most private, expensive suite and at double the standard rate."

Everyone stared in awe at the opulence and enourmous size of the hero themed room. Even Jen felt small in here and said so,"This room always makes me feel small. Sometimes I forget it's even back here we so seldom use it."

Susan smirked handing over a key. "Checkouts in morning but until then all of this is yours. Use any of the gadgets to watch the clubs performances, excepting private ones of course, order anything, all food and beverages are comped or let us know of any and all other possible needs. Your VIP card and package will be available upon your checking out. We hope you enjoy your stay."

While the other girls just kind of stared huddled together in the massive room, Walt decided to ask.

"Friday?"

(("Yes, Boss?"))

"What,,. the... hell?"

(("You said get one of the nicest rooms!"))

"Yeah. One of. One of the nicest rooms."

(("Right and this is their nicest room."))

Walt groaned. "Vip package?"

(("They only let Vip members reserve the nicest rooms. You told me to negotiate and honestly a lifetime membership is cheaper... assuming one lives a longtime, Boss."))

Walt looked around "Is there a sherpa or some other guide to help on the trek to the not-at-all-mini-bar? You know what? Never mind. I figure I'd better get a move on as it might be a different timezone when I got there." He was exaggerating of course but really was a ways away.

(("You're exaggerating Boss.")) He started looking at the top shelf liquor including some 1000 year old Asgardian stuff. He shrugged. *I might as well* and started pouring himself a glass.

(("Besides you never live it up like this and with, not the one, but three cuties to boot. If this is you turning over that new leaf I fully support it."))

Damn that's some good stuff! "You're my secretary slash assistant, Friday. Not my personal devil on my shoulder." He looked at the table. Were those complemetary cookies? *I should let the girls have fun too* Opening the Full-size-only-mini-to-a-titan refrigerator he spotted a Gallon of something claiming to be 'extra-chocolate chocolate milk *now with more chocolate'. Pulling it out he waved to Ruby and pointed to the table holding cookies.

WHOOSH-High-five-WHOOSH

Like a cookie seeking missle.

Penny smiled at Walt and Ruby. She might not be her Ruby exactly but she was definitely Ruby all the same. It was nice seeing those two getting along. *Maybe someday...*

Penny let that thought trail off. It seems Walt intended to have the two other girls eat with them. She turned to Blake. "Care to eat? I'm sure we can get some Tuna or other fish sent."

Blake smiled and nodded but it wasn't quite the reaction Penny'd expected. "What's the matter Blake?"

"Well..." Blake hesitated.

"Mhe mooby mams mm make mhe mimg moota mer mutt", Ruby unhelpfully replied around a mouthful of cookies.

"What?"

Blake blushed and said. "Quiet, Ruby!"

Ruby actually, heroically, paused from stuffing her face. "But you said earlier it was still a bit uncomfortable for you putting in and taking it out of your butt, Blake. You said that even though you liked it you were still getting used to anal. I know maybe Penny and I could help or maybe Mr. Stark! He reserved us and"-

Blake flushed but relented to the first part if it would just shut her friend up. "Fine. You can help. Just please shut up." Mr Stark still seemed to be engrossed in a conversation with his secretary? Maybe they could get this over with quickly?

She looked over at Penny who was shocked but also obviously wanted desperately to ask her friends about it. "Do you... want to watch or help Penny?"
