The STORMCROW

 

Everyone's supportive of Muirne asking them to avoid movies about magic. Doesn't even ask for reasons. That's good. They should probably try to avoid anything where possession's the main thing, too, with the experience with Casanova. 

 

"How about we stick to the first Ghostbusters?" It's not that outright disagrees with Neko, but he just likes the first one better.

 

"And hey, if there's a fight with me, then Leon's gonna pick it. That's just how it is, right?"

"Sounds like a good idea, Charlie. That one is definitely a lot of fun, and really quotable," she said, withholding any quotations until they came up in the movie. Muirne hadn't seen many movies before, and she definitely didn't want to spoil that one.

“That’s right.”

Leon grinned, knowing full well the irony the team’s leader would find in the statement.

“Someone’s gotta keep that ego of his in check.”

He smirked at Charlie, as if daring the other to come up with a good comeback.

 

He regarded Muirne when she mentioned the incident a few Christmases ago.

“Oh ya, I had almost forgotten about that.”

He lied. He just didn’t want to think about his brother and sister right now.

“Holidays are just weird trouble magnets. Can’t count them or you’re gonna throw the odds.”

He shrugged dismissively.

 

He continued to pet the cat in his lap when a thought came to him.

“Hey, Vik. We’re not making you feel weird hanging with a bunch of couples are we?”

He asked, sounding genuinely concerned they could be making her uncomfortable.

 

Vik shook her head and smiled at the boys teasing each other. If that was their way of keeping each other in check, she supposed there was no harm in it, but Leon was sometimes pretty harsh on Charlie. But if that's what makes the team work, then who was she to judge? 

 

"Holidays are weird, Leon. Even before I became...this, it was always a weird time for my family. Not to speak of the ones I had in juvie..." She grimaced a little with the memory, but was glad that those difficult days were behind her. "But it'll be good to spend Christmas with you all. Or, well. You know, if you have a Christmas party or anything like that. I think that's what people do when they work together, right?" 

 

"And, uhh, to answer your question, Leon? No, you all aren't making me uncomfortable. I'm glad you all are happen with each other, seriously. It's good to be able to have someone to share your life with, you know?"

 

Vik looked a little embarrassed as she continued to speak: "To be honest, I feel like I've just gotten used to my condition, so dating isn't really something that's been on my mind lately anyway. Unless one of you knows a really sexy ghoul that's single and ready to mingle," she said with a halfhearted chuckle.

In the kitchen….

 

The duplicate Bernadette focused on Neko for a few moments, seemingly considering her carefully. "This is a mansion ya know…more than enough space ta have all the privacy ya might need." She replied initially, pausing for a moment before continuing, "but I will do what I can. But, several o' the others do live here, so might want ta go ta their rooms ta sleep at some point. I can try ta coerce them inta pullin' an all night movie marathon." She added, giving her roommate a wide smile.

 

In the living room…

 

The original Bernadette was in the middle of the discussions about what to watch next, shrugging with no real opinion (beyond supporting avoiding anything that might be upsetting to Muirne. "Sounds like tha first Ghostbuster then." She stated.

 

The redhead then glanced over to Vik as she started talking about the holidays. While Christmas was more the six months away, Bernadette could understand why Vik might feel uncomfortable about it. Giving Vik as smile, the Irish teen replied. "Oh, I expect many o' us will be around fer Christmas. As fer parties…the Freedom League often has one, several o' us were at last years." She glanced slightly over to Charlie at that, not bringing up that last year's party was where they had moved forward in their relationship.

Neko grinned, pleased at this turn of events. "Thank you," she said, a purr in her voice as she turned and walked away. Tonight was going to be fun - but first, there were other things to do. She came back inside the living room and perched on Leon's lap, kneading his arm affectionately. "So what are we watching?" she asked. "I hope it's funny!"

The STORMCROW

 

Charlie looks back at Bernie, a slight smile playing over his lips when she mentions the Freedom League holiday party. 

 

"Hey, anyone want to do something for Christmas here, we can do it, but y'know, I'd like to think that we're all a bit more than just coworkers, Vik." He says the last bit with a wink to her. Just teasing, nothing bad meant, of course.

 

"Sure, we settled on the first Ghostbusters," he responds to Neko. "It's mostly fun."

 

But hey, now that Vik did bring Christmas parties up...

 

"By the way, I kinda had some plans for the Freedom League party. We got enough connections from Claremont and other places, so we'll probably get invites, but I thought it could be a good place to make some connections. Maybe make a bit of a statement about us being out here, now. The Freedom League seem to mostly do bigger stuff, I don't think the Interceptors are that active any more, so... make some connections. Figure out who we can call if we need help. Let them know they can call us."

Leon smiled as Neko returned, happily accepting her into his lap. Slipping an arm around her he kissed the top of her head affectionately and settled in with her.

“Ya, the OG Ghostbuster flick is pretty funny. A lot of quotable lines.”

 

When Charlie brought up the annual League party he glanced down at Neko with a knowing smile.

“Gonna volunteer for daycare duty again?”

Asked, already 99% sure he knew what her answer would be.

[Avenger Assembled]

Neko purred, leaning back against Leon, a throaty sound that her human-sized chest cavity made very loud. "Volunteer, nothing," she murmured. "All the parents from last year gave references to their friends, and it's supposed to be even bigger this year." She grinned, showing teeth. "I am going to make so many bucks!" Neko's carefully hoarded savings account was helping pay for Owain's college, along with a great many other things.

"Yes! The first Ghostbusters is great. You'll love it, Muirne!" She rustled around in her bag of DVDs, and held it aloft. "Oh, no sh#t?" Vik asked, forgetting herself for a moment. "That would be amazing. Seriously, we can go to those things? I'd have to do my hair." For the first time since I died, she chose not to add. Hmm. Bernie had good taste in clothing, maybe she could help her out? Best talk to her about that later. Wonder if she'd look good in green...red wasn't her color.

"Yes! I guess I can't assume anyone has seen it, but you'll like it. It also stars Sigourney Weaver!" Vik said as she put the DVD into the player.

"Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!" she quoted, with a sly wink at Neko and Leon.

The movie's on. Something a bit lighter than what they'd watched previously, at least. 

 

While the others begin talking about this year's Freedom League christmas party, and Neko and Leon makes plans for the daycare, Charlie instead just settles back into the couch with Bernie. It's nice to have some peace and quiet, for once.

 

He gotta make sure that they make this a regular thing.
