Leaving the Gala, Questions & Changes of After Party Plans

"Tell me something."

Walt smiled and nodded. They were currently on board the Ship but chilling in the limo. He'd wanted to escort Emma home before taking the rest home. That was the plan... it had been immediately vetoed and rejected. By everyone. Now they were heading towards the mansion instead. Emma had given the excuse she'd wanted to "look around and see". "Certainly, if I can. I hope you understand that some cards will still be held close to the vest. What would you like to know?"

Emma started to open her mouth but Mary Jane butted in with "Awesome!". The girls were a bit tipsy on the show going well and the possibility of fame... they'd also hit the bar and now the minibar in the limo. "Do you have, like, a thing for redheads?" She asked as she pointed as she counted and her bandmates giggled but everyone paid attention as Emma glared at her. "First there's Penny and Pu- Pyrrha then Nora-"

"Uhm," Nora said blushing and fiddling with her fingers as Pyrrha patted her knee. "We're not... "together", together."

"Then there's Neo, Gwen and Shocket-"

"Whoa there," Shocket said as Linda giggled. "Someone's definitely drunk and gotten the wrong idea. Besides pink-"

"Pink counts," Betty said and high-fived Gwen. "Dyed too. Anime rules."

"Hell yeah!" Gwen agreed as she in turn high-fived Neo who shrugged but grinned and nodded. She didn't really have an opinion on it... but it was more fun this way and she then texted [more at Home you know who'd probably agree]

Mary Jane gave her thumbs-up. "I west- er, rest my case!" Then blinked momentarily trying to remember where she was going with this until she looked next to Neo and pointed at Manami who blushed but smiled. "Right even more at "Home" we haven't met yet and Manami here is a smoking little shorty! And then there's Mystique here who's sexy A.F."

"It isn't like you're implying," she protested as she started to cross her arms but was surprised as Jubilee hugged her.

"But she's right about you being sexy A. F. though!" Jubilee said smiling. "You're so beautiful! I always thought so. I know Walt does too."

Mystique blinked then actually smiled slightly as she stroked her head. "You've had a bit much to drink as well, I see."

Jubilee simply smiled and nuzzled her like a cat. "So what if I have. I saw you with my little Sho-Sho. He likes you and I approve and like you too. Walt does too and so does Penny and everyone else! An' that's all that really matters!"

Mystique saw Walt smile and nod and she rolled her eyes looking away... but she didn't say anything further to refute her and kept idly stroking the young woman's hair.

"Right, Firecracker!" MJ said pointing to Merida and Pepper. "And speaking of which brings us to these freckled, Firecrackers!"

"Tis nae lik' that!" Merida said blushing and plucking at her dress. "Ah wis a "gift" o' sorts. Ye understand?"

Glory grinned. "Oh we understand! A sexy, redheaded gift he didn't turn down!" She put her arm around MJ. "I completely understand!" She said squeezing her girlfriend. "I like redheads too obviously!"

Pepper smiled and poured the blushing Merida a drink. "They're just a bit drunk. Pay them no mind. As for me I've known Walt a long time. Longer than I care to admit, thank you." She shrugged. "He's not just my Boss but an old and dear friend." She smiled. "This arrangement simply makes sense."

Betty blinked. "But maybe something more, right? And you're what... 27? 28? Certainly no older than 30."

Pepper smiled broadly and nodded elbowing Walter. "Did you hear that? Oh, I like these girls! Yes, that's absolutely correct!"

Walt nodded that he had heard and wisely decided to keep his mouth shut, even as his brain started counting up from her base age and the 1960's. Like he and Jen had discussed, comicbook aging was weird... but so was his own. He certainly agreed though. Pepper looked good like she'd hardly aged a day past her late twenties, early thirties. Gotta love comicbook artists drawing sexy ladies. "Yes," he said holding up his hands. "I do "like" redheads, like yourself Em Jay, but I also like every... Em Jay?"

Walt studied her flushed face then grabbed her hands and switched seats to sit next to her and Glory. "Friday door open. Just breathe slowly okay Em Jay. Glory there's bottled water in the minibar."

Glory nodded grabbing one and switching it for Mary Jane's drink. "Okay beautiful you're looking like you hit your limit there. Let's calm down for a bit, huh?"

MJ nodded. "I jes'... too excited. To? Two?" She poked Glory's tits with Walt's hand that held hers. "Boop. I wanna fuck you two. But I love you. An' yer not into dudes so that's out but we both wanna fi..*hic* fuck Gwen sho-"

Glory quickly covered her mouth and opened the bottle for her girlfriend as everybody started blushing and none harder than Glory, Walt and Gwen. "Shut up and sip slowly," she gently told her girlfriend.

"Sorry," Walt mumbled.

Glory simply shrugged, smiling. "Don't be. She's just had a little much."

MJ frowned and shook her head. "But I'm trying to sae sho... *burp* shick. I don feel sho gud."

Walt sighed. "Friday? What's closest?"

(("One of Tony's former properties. Shall I change our heading?"))

He nodded rubbing MJ's back and seeing everyone else nod. It was a big limo and bigger ship but nobody wanted to see someone became violently ill. "Nah. I'm heading up to take manual control. You got her?"

Glory nodded. Despite the awkward moment he wasn't going to make a big deal about it... it was another thing she liked about him. She smiled and gave a thumbs-up. "I got her! Get your butt in that pilot seat!"

Walt chuckled and nodded carefully climbing out and leaving them to it... and Glory checked. "It is a nice butt," she muttered then blushed as she saw Neo grin. She'd heard that! But Neo winked and smacked it for her.

Walt sighed and shook his head with a smile. He knew who that was and what it meant. "Thanks. Love you too, trouble," he said getting out and heading for the bridge of the former ravager ship.

"Retreating?" He heard and smiled. Shocket had followed him out and Linda, Jen and Emma were right behind her.

"Seemed like the right course of action and there's a difference between a temporary withdrawal and a retreat," he said about to climb into the pilots seat then shook his head and took the co-pilot's instead. "Laying in the course correction."

Shocket smiled as she took the pilots seat. "Thanks. Looks like you horney apes will be screeching later."

Linda giggled taking her seat. "You sure are popular, Captain."

Walt rolled his eyes but before he could say anything Jen did as she and Emma sat. "That's true but in his defense he's quite a catch. What were you going to ask, Emma?"

Emma Frost shrugged. "Wasn't important."

Jen raised a green eyebrow. "But it was important enough to ask in front of everyone? Go on. You might as well ask it now."

Emma sighed. "Walt did you throw your match against Logan?"

Jen blinked. "Oh-kay. I didn't expect that. What did we miss?!"

Walt chuckled. "Nothing much. Just two idiots blowing off some testosterone... and I didn't lose. We tied. Big difference. Why? You don't like the results?"

She crossed her arms and smirked. "I didn't say that."

"What the fuck is a Logan?" Shocket asked and Linda chuckled. "The hairy knife hand guy."

"Oh," Shocket said nodding. "Knife hand guy. Gotcha. You guys had a brawl and tied? Bit odd."

Jen smiled and shook her head. "Nah. Not really. They're both like that. You guys intentionally tied, didn't you?"

Walt shrugged. "Maybe..."

Emma nodded. "But Jean and I had a side bet. Is that why you ended it the way you did?"

Walt smirked and repeated himself. "Maybe... mansion coming up."

"I see it, Captain Obvious," Shocket said. "Beginning decent."

Jen grinned. "What was the bet?"

Emma smiled. "Big stakes... but nothing anyone couldn't afford to lose. Betting on whose "boyfriend" was victorious."

"Ooooo... "boyfriend"," Linda said and Jen grinned. "So a tie? I guess it depends on your call whether you both win or lose. Soooo... Did you win or lose, Emma?"

Emma looked at Walt and smiled. "I do believe I won, actually. Infact I think I won quite a bit tonight."

"Huh. That a fact?" Walt asked glancing over his shoulder. He saw her nod and he did too grinning, turning back. "What a coincidence. I feel the same way."

She smiled. "How about that."

"How about that," he repeated.

"How about you two save the flirting for after I land this crate," Shocket said shaking her head. "Humans."

"I did have one more question actually," Emma said ignoring Shocket.

"Hit me," Walt said.

Emma nodded. "What prisoner or prisoners are you interested in?"

Walt shrugged. "Mister Sinister. Yall have him imprisoned underneath Krakoa along with other baddies if my sources are correct. Since I have two of the Essex clones/homunculi I might as well take the third off yall's hands." He shrugged but unlike before he didn't look casual as he did it. "Diamonds, hearts and clubs. Three down. Working on four of a kind. We'll have to see what happens come the next draw of the cards..."
