Seth moves down the sidewalk, stopping now and then at garbage cans. 

Savage leaps off of a lightpost and lands near Seth. "Hunt?"

Joey sashays down Main Street, humming a song and carrying a bag. She seems
pretty cheerful, smiling at folks that she passes.

Seth looks to Savage as he's surprised by the sudden appearance. "Don't need
to hunt the cans.. they are here." he points to one.

Savage hrms and nods, "Can good?"

Seth nods to Savage with a bright smile and digs into one finding a half eaten
hot dog. "There is food left in them." he tells the man of the hidden bounty.

Joey makes it to a certain point down the street, sees Seth and Savage and
grimaces, "No, no, no..How many times I have to tell y'boys. No eating the
trash! It's bad for you."

Seth looks over his shoulder when he sees Joey and after a moment hides the
half eaten hot dog behind his back. "Hello." he says, trying his best to look
innocent.

Savage turns and notices Joey, "Eat dog. You show dog good eat..."

Joey crosses her arms in front of her chest, "I thought I gave you what to
eat.." she looks at Seth, then turns to Savage, "Heya, Tarzan. You two Animal
Men need a real meal, I think."

Savage says, "Call her Joey food good. Meal good."

Capt. Thunder comes flying in from the south, about street-light level.

Alyssa walks in from the south and looks at the big crowd of supers having
seen one fly by earlier and stops to watch

Seth nods to Joey as he still hides the half eaten hot dog behind his back.
"Ahh... Seth is not hungry..." he says. Trying to sound convincing.

Karlie arrives before too long at Joey's position, smiling. She's either on
drugs, or something really nice happened. "hi.." she says, a bit hesitantly,
not sure how well she'll be received.

Capt. Thunder raises an eyebrow at the group. "Interesting..." She drops onto
a streetlight cross-pole and watches.

Joey turns to the direction of the new voice, then sees Karlie, "Oh, ah
heya..hmm, nice night?"

Alyssa seeing Joey gives her a wave but holds back not knowing if she should
interrupt

Savage looks at Seth, "Call him Seth not hungry why eat dog?"

Seth turns a moment from Joey as she's distracted adn holds up the hot dog
again for Savage. Pulling it in half he offers one part of it to Savage.

Karlie affirms, "Karlie. We've met a few times.. I was kinda down. Thought I'd
push my luck and see about saying hi. Good night, yep." She smiles, friendly.

Savage looks quizically at Seth, "You no hungry?"

Capt. Thunder says, "Oh, crud...they're eating from the trash cans?..." She
drops from her pearch. "Not on my watch..."

Joey smiles back at Karlie, "Ah, yeah, Karlie. I remember..from a few places.
Like the beach?" then she frowns as she sees the two men going back to eating
garbage hot dogs, "Y'put that down, and I'll give y'money for a new hot dog.
Didn't y'hear that Adam guy last time? Bad."

Alyssa looks at the controlled chaos and waits to see if she will be needed
seeing the trash being eaten as it is.....and wonders what or who is looking
aftr these two (supers?)

Seth hunches his head down as Joey admonishes him about the hot dog. He holds
it up for her inspection then and says. "It is almost all here though." he
explains.. like that makes a difference.

Capt. Thunder says, "You have no idea how long that stuff's been there or
what's been put down on top of it...it could make you sick...even kill you..."

Savage eyes the trash can as if it were an enemy, "Can give bad food!"
Savage looks at Capt. Thunder, "Kill? BAD CAN!"

Joey facepalms, "I have a fridge full of food, and you gotta come out here and
dig around. Old habits die hard."

Capt. Thunder thinks . o O (oh, this is gonna be fuuuuun...)

Savage growls at the trash can and looks ready to attack it.

Alyssa walks up to the group now and looks at Savage then to Joey and whispers
to Joey...."If we don't rephrase his last lesson there there will be not a
single garbage can left in town."

Seth sniffs the hot dog a few times and then in a moment of inspiration takes
it a part and drops the bun back into the trash. "This was inside it!" he
offers like that has protected it.

Karlie nods a little as she looks to Seth, "I tried to convince him
otherwise.."

Capt. Thunder raises an eyebrow at Savage. "Uhm...I'm guessing offering to
take you to the Shelter House for dinner is out of the question?"

Joey turns to look at Alyssa, as if never having seen her before, and asks,
"What...are you on drugs? What the heck did you just say?"

Alyssa looks at Seth..."I don't think that a bun is any protection young man."

Savage stops growling for a moment and looks at Capt. Thunder, "Have own home.
Must kill can."

Capt. Thunder says, "Uhm...no...no kill can...can usefull...can not
bad...just...misunderstood..."

Alyssa looks at Joey patiently..."I said the gentleman there looks at garbage
cans as enemies now....or seems to...excuse me from interrupting ."

Capt. Thunder winces and can't believe she's saying what she's saying.

Seth tilts his head somewhat and looks at the hot dog and back to Alyssa.
"But... smells okay." he says.

Joey asks Alyssa, "You know tarzan over there?" an eyebrow raises as she tries
to figure out who the woman is.

Savage looks quizically at Capt. Thunder, "Why can kill Call him Savage?"

Karlie waves to Captain Thunder, "heya."

Alyssa shakes her head at Joey then looks at Seth and sighs..."Sir the bun is
food only if served right...out of a garbage can can only make you sick. And
maam, I overheard in passing what was going on...as I said sorry to trespass."

Capt. Thunder stares back at Savage, "Excuse me?"

Joey scratches her head, "No need for apology, why should you be different
than anyone else?" she looks at the two men by the trash, "Now, what do we do
with these two animals?"

Savage says, "Can try kill Call him Savage. Can not bad?"

Karlie says to Captain Thunder, "he's referring to himself as 'Call him
Savage'."

Seth tilts his head and examines the seemingly alright hot dog. Then with a
nod of understanding or possibly not able to argue his point anymore he drops
the hot dog into the can. His attention diverted a moment as he takes a pace
to the wall and snatches a beetle that was crawling upon it. Holding it up for
hte others to see he proclaims. "This was not in can!" he says.

Alyssa looks at the two gentlemen and sighs..."They may need help behavioral
wise, but unless they come in for counseling..I don't have a clue of what sets
them off."

Joey raises both eyebrows at Seth, "Y'gonna eat a fresh bug?" she shakes her
head, "Well, that's okay, though I can't say it'd be tasty."

[To Savage] Capt. Thunder says, "You're...Savage? That a name or just a
general fashion statement?"

Savage frowns and tries to get the concept of 'fashion'. "Call him Savage.
What call you?"

Alyssa blinks and looks at Cap then watches this little onset with interest

Joey smmirks, "Oh, he's a savage, I can guarantee that.."

Seth checks the beetle for a moment, then with little fanfare the small, black
insect is popped into his mouth. A smile as you hear the slight cracking of
the animals exoskeleton as he chews.

Karlie smiles a little. The two are kinda interesting.

Capt. Thunder says, "I'm...Captain Thunder...for lack of anything better..."

Alyssa murmurs quietly..."They taste better roasted and chocolate covered."

Savage says, "Call her Captain Thunder."

Seth licks his lips after a moment. His eye's widen as he proclaims. "Good
city bugs!" he tells the others in case they had a need for that information.

Karlie giggles slightly, "Or just Captain Thunder for short.."

Elissa walks in, her step determined, head down, not seeming to look left or
right, a dangerous thing in this city...

Capt. Thunder says, "If you two want...I can fly you over to Wayside Mission
House...they'll give you food...and clothes...and a place to sleep tonight..."
Capt. Thunder says, "Actually, I might ask Karlie's help to fly you both..."

Joey nods to Seth, although she doesn't look like she's about to eat city
bugs, "There y'go. Protein, fresh food..so much better than my cooking,
y'know?"

Seth looks to Capt and says. "Have food." he indicates the bug he just ate.
"Clothes too, and sleep in nice barn when too cold."

Savage says, "Call him Seth live in park. Call him Savage have home. Call him
Seth have clothes and food. Call him Savage not hungry."

Eaglet materializes out of nowhere, and promptly reels, holding his head a
bit. "oof."

Savage jumps back from Eaglet.

Joey corrects Savage, "Call him Seth _has_ a place to stay. It's just he's got
habits."

Capt. Thunder says, "Uh...the park isn't a home..."
Capt. Thunder says, "And if he gets caught there, he'll have another, wether
he wants it or not..."

Alyssa looks at all the good samaritans?? ....looks at Joey and asks her..."Do
you help find places for these gentlemen and their likes?"

Alyssa looks up at the materializing Eaglet and nods

Joey nods to Alyssa, "I sure do. I do a lot of work with helping the homeless
and unfortunate. But he," she indicates Seth, "Likes the hobo life."

Savage seems somewhat distracted by Eaglet.

Seth explains. "Sleep in barn with a horse.. Roger..sometimes... sleep on the
porch too." he smiles.

Alyssa says, "Some do. They feel safer and less constricted that way.""

Karlie nods. "Some of us are where we are not because of luck.." she mentions.

Savage points at Eaglet, "Bird!"

Seth looks to the other conversation going on around him, looking a little
confused. When Eaglet arrives he tilts his head some and watches the man
closely.

Elissa walks unheedingly straight into the clump of people around Seth (if
you're on the ground) before she seems to notice anything. "Oh, hello"

Joey follows Savage's stare up to Eaglet, "Drunk bird..?" she muses.

Alyssa thinks . o O (Young bird man?)

Eaglet squints at Savage, asking, "Do I know you know I know...I mean..." he
breaks off. "Elevator going up. All aboard?"

Seth is on the ground at least, upon seeing Elissa he smiles and says. "Going
to the Zoo?" he asks of Elissa.

Savage notices Karlie's feet. "No shoe."

Capt. Thunder says, "Well, if everything's okay here...I guess I can't stop
you two from eating garbage...or bugs..."

Elissa says, "No. How are you, Seth? Been behaving yourself?"
Allen Stone(Jigandle) pages: So whats up on Mainstreet?
Elissa(Willowisp) pages: yeah, that would make sense :)


Eaglet looks for Captain Thunder and Karlie. "So many," he explains.

[To Joey] Alyssa says, "My name is Alyssa....hope to see you sometime...we
might work on some cases together...I am the new psychiatrist at the
hospital."

Karlie nods. "it's warmer out, I decided not to wear them."

Savage nods, then turns back to Captain Thunder, "Call her captain thank for
tell about.... BAD CAN!"

Seth nods his head to Elissa. "I have been good." he says. "Ate the Beetle
instead of the hot dog." he explains.. whatever that hmeans.

Joey nods to Alyssa, "Oh ..That explains the strange talk. Well, good t'meet
you, though I don't usually hang out in the psych ward. But, it's good to know
someone in y'field."

Savage eyes the trash can with hatred and suspicion.

Elissa says, "Unfortunately, it's not cotton candy."

Capt. Thunder reaches out and puts a hand on Eaglet's shoulder. "I'm
going...wanna ride?"

Eaglet says, "Someone stop eating bugs at my head."

Alyssa looks at the assembled...loon...crowd.."Nice to meet you as well. If
you need any help give me a call at the hospital."

Eaglet reaches for Captain Thunder, flailing.

Capt. Thunder says, "And...Savage...I herebye dub you...the keeper of the
cans..."

Seth nod to Elissa. "Or Sno Cone! Sno Cones are very good." he smiles.

Capt. Thunder's eyes glow a deep blue for an instant, an arch of raw power
jacobs-ladders up her form.

Karlie looks at Captain Thunder and Eaglet, "What's up?" she asks, stepping
toward them.

Savage frowns and nods, looking unsure as to what his new title means. He then
jumps back as Capt. Thunder 'energises'.

Elissa says, "Yeah. I've got to get you some Haagen-Daz in the summer. Much
better than bugs."

Stooping for a second to scoop up Eaglet, Thunder hurls both of them skyward,
a sharp crack resounds on her take-off.

Eaglet says, "Awoooops!"

Seth looks more then a little surprised at the powering up of Capt. Thunder.
Watching with interest for a few long moments he then says to Elissa. "City
bugs are good! Want one?" he asks as he looks to the wall for another beetle.

Alyssa looks at the lift off and shakes her head...."It was nice meeting
you...I did not get your name."

Elissa says, "No, thank you, Alyssa and I ate earlier. It would be a waste of
good bugs."

Seth nods in understanding to Elissa. He then frowns a moment and points to
Elissa. "You are Elissa...you ate with yourself?"

Elissa says, "That is Alyssa. This is Elissa. Understand? (and yes, I know
that is no help at all)"

Seth looks from one to the other and nods again. "You ate with yourself."
Yep.. he sure understood that.

Karlie grins a bit, finding humor in that. She returns her attention toward
Eaglet, "you okay?"

Eaglet separates from Captain Thunder by teleporting free of her grip, once
they are clear of the crowd, high up in the air. He faces Karlie. How is he
able to hear her, from so great a distance?

Alyssa hears this little byplay and starts to head off giving a wave to Elissa
and Joey as she goes chuckling as she reaches the next street

Joey waves to Alyssa as she leaves, then looks back to Seth and Savage, "Now.
What to do with you guys."

Karlie flies up to Eaglet, then asks her question.

Elissa says, "Seth seems to be able to take care of himself. And, I don't know
this other gentleman..."

Karlie arrives near Eaglet, flying apparently of her own accord, "What's
wrong?"

Savage shufflewalks over and sniffs at Elissa, then speaks, "Call him
Savage... What call you?"
Savage seems completely unphased by Karlie's sudden levitation.

Elissa says, "I'm Elissa, we've been over that. Savage, eh? Seems fitting"

Seth finds another beetle upon the wall as he comments on getting one for
Elissa. He snatches it up and shows off his find. "Anybody hungry?" he
inquires.

Savage says, "Call her Elissa."

Seth finds another beetle upon the wall as he comments on getting one for
Elissa. He snatches it up and shows off his find. "Anybody hungry?" he
inquires.

Joey shakes her head, "No thanks, Seth. I prefer my food from the market."

Eaglet floats up above mainstreet, teleported free of Captain Thunder's
helping hand, now chatting with Karlie and his... Captain.

Eaglet says, "Am I thinking, or talking?"

Karlie looks to Eaglet, shaking her head a bit with a mental message, and
shrugs, "just a good mood, kid. As for the hotheads.." she looks down at the
crowd, "it happens. I think I've developed some kind of demophobia, so I don't
know much about them."

Savage looks at Seth's 'catch'. "Bug small."

Seth nods his agreement with Savage. "But tasty!"

Joey sighs, "Seth. Do y'like the bugs? I mean, I can buy y'whatever food
y'like.." she turns to Savage, "You, too. Although, y'said y'have a home."

Savage frowns slightly, "Lion not hunt bugs."

Capt. Thunder begins to drift upward, arching back over the closer buildings,
she dissapears into evening sky.

Savage looks slightly uncomfortable at Joey's statement, "Have... Home."

Bullwhip is swinging from place to place, namely from firescapes, lamposts,
and any other elevated pobject that he can attach to.

Eaglet looks down for a moment, as if about to swoop lower out of interest,
but the dense thoughtwaves of the crowd drive him up. Up, and away.

Joey smiles at Savage, as if there's some private joke there, "Y'have more
than a home if y'need one. Mi casa es su casa."

Seth smiles and explains to Joey. "Bugs taste good! Would you like to try
one?" he asks Joey.

Joey shakes her head enthusiastically, "NO!! Er, I don't eat bugs. Bad for the
figure."

Elissa says, "Don't worry, seth. She hasn't gotten to a place where she can
comfortably eat bugs. She's on a diet. No righ foods."

Savage can't help but flash a brief smile at Joey, then quickly returns to
regarding seth's 'catch'.

Seth nods a little as he comprehends what's being said to him. He smiles and
gives the beetle a little pat with his finger and places it back on the wall
then. "Okay.. if you ever want to try one... let me know." he says in his
unusually accented way.

Savage says, "Call him Seth catch and let go?"

Seth points to himself and says to Savage. "I am Seth." he tries to clarify
the longer name.

Savage nods, "Call him Seth. Catch and let go?"

Joey looks over Savage's muscled body, while the others talk. She looks over
to Seth as he replaces the bug.

Seth returns the bug to it's spot and turns back around to the others. He
stops a moment and something catches his attention as he sniffs the air
lightly.

Elissa looks around, curiously, as Seth sniffs.

Savage says, "Call him Seth what scent?"

Seth tilts his head and looks at Joey for a long moment.

Joey looks back at Seth, her own head tilting to match his. She smiles softly,
"What..?"

Seth replies to Joey and the others rather openly. "You are in heat?" he asks,
or moreso states.

Joey's face turns bright red and she facepalms without answering Seth.

Seth tilts his head in the other direction as Joey blushes. "You are sick?" he
asks.

Savage watches the conversation with some interrest.

Joey sighs, and replies, "Humans don't go into heat. So, the answer'd be no."

Savage gives Seth a 'yeah, what were you thinking?' look.

Seth finds the answer a little odd that he gets from Joey as he sniffs the air
a little more. "You are not in heat?" he inquires again just to be sure. Guess
something it possibly telling him otherwise.

Elissa chuckles.
Elissa thinks . o O (Boy got it right the first time.)

Joey frowns at Elissa, "It's not really funny, y'know. I mean, that.." she
looks over at Seth, "That's the kinda thing y'don't blurt out, y'know?"

Seth tilts his head again and asks Joey. "Why?"

Joey seems lost for an answer, "Because, um..well, y'see.." she looks to
Savage, then Elissa, and realizes she'll have no help, "Okay, fine. I'm in
heat. Satisfied?"

Savage eyes Seth cautiously.

Seth seems perplexed. "Why are you red?" he asks then. Maybe wondering why she
was embarrassed or wondering what blushing is or.. well who knows with this
guy.

Elissa thinks . o O (Cause she's not used to guys saying that in public. Or in
precisely those words.)

Savage venutres a guess, "Red cos of heat?"

Elissa says, "It's not an unusual reaction, Seth. It will depart in a few
moments."

Seth watches Joey then with great interest to see the subsiding of the
reaction.

As if to make Elissa's words true, Joey's face color does turn back to normal,
although she has a bit of an embarrassed look still. "That's it, Barstock. Yuk
it up on my acount."

Elissa says, "Hey, you'd laugh if it were me, and you know it."

Savage looks at Elissa, "Call her Elissa, are you in heat?"

Elissa says, "No, Savage, it's not my time. I don't want to start a pack
battle with Joey."

Joey quirks an eyebrow at Elissa, "Pack battle?"

Elissa says, "Yes, when two alpha females go into heat, ofthen the mails
battle for the right, and they alphas oft times do to. Bad things can happen."

Savage eyes Seth catiously.

Joey nods, understanding, "Ah, kinda like in one of those animal shows?"

Elissa says, "Pretty much. I think that's more the way of our friends, here."

Joey scratches her head, "Hmm, two animal men..I guess it makes sense they'd
have that kinda thing going."

Seth listens to the conversations going on about the habits of animals.
"Animal men?" he says in retort to Joey's comment. "I am Seth... human." he
adds the last to be sure it's understood of his species.

Savage nods in agreement, "Not animal."

Reno Riggs is driving through.. looking for some place to eat.. in a fairly
beaten and battered Toyota Honda Enterprise 2045

Reno Riggs pulls the electro gas car in to a stop.
Reno Riggs exits the car.

Reno Riggs quickly talks into a small device that is clipped onto his shirt.

Seth looks over to the man talking to the small box. "Does it talk back to
you?" he inquires generally.

Reno Riggs looks at the man like he's crazy.. (The quiet murmur coming from
the box seems to be in response to what he said).. "What?"

Seth points to the box the man talks into. "It talks back to you?" he asks
again.

Savage now looks cautiously between Seth and Reno, taking a step so he is
between the men and the women.

Reno Riggs says, "Well why wouldn't it.. it's my commlink and PDA"
Reno Riggs is looking at him like his still nuts

Seth nods a little to Reno, but from the look of the man he doesn't follow a
word of what's being said.

Joey listens to Reno, glad that the topic has changed.

Elissa nods. "Securecom?"

Reno Riggs raises a eyebrow.. but not knowing what else to say to these wierd
folk he walks down the steps to "Mole's Martian Deli"
Reno Riggs can be seen through the deli window.. ordering his meal from Solie
the deli worker.

Savage turns towards Seth, "Live with horse now?"

Joey smiles at the mention of a horse, "He likes the horse, don't y'Seth?"

Seth nods to Savage with a smile. "Yes.. I see Roger every day. We run
together." he says. Guess he likes to go run with a horse instead of ride it.

Joey frowns and thinks a bit, looking at Seth in a strange way.

Elissa nods. "Yes, getting a good run is essential for a horse. How is Roger
doing?"

Savage says, "Roger is call her Joey horse name."

Joey grins, "Seth is taking good care of Roger. He seems much happier."

Elissa says, "I'm sure he is"

Savage suddenly hears the penny drop.

Elissa thinks . o O (I wonder if Joey even remembers to feed that poor horse?)

Reno Riggs is sitting in one of the small booths inside the deli.. noshing on
his sandwich and drinking a coke.

Seth nods to Savage. "Roger is the horse friend of Joey's." he explains. "A
very happy horse." he adds.

Savage nods slowly, putting it all together, "Call him Seth lives with Call
her Joey."

Joey waggles her eyebrows, "Or call me, Savage."

Elissa says, "With her horse, at least."

Seth explains for Savage. The poor misunderstood man not knowing hte ways of
the world like Seth does. "Stay in the barn with Roger sometimes... others on
the porch. Sometimes on the beach, sometimes in the park."

Savage says, "Call him Seth moves like Antelope."

Elissa says, "Seth is a truly free spirit."

Savage looks quizically at Joey, "Call him Savage. Call her Joey. Call
me....?" He's not sure on this one.

Seth looks at Savage a moment, rubbing his hands a little as if nervous or
something.

Joey grins at Savage, "Y'can call me anytime, y'Savage beast."

Savage looks Joey squarely in the eye, "Call her anytime..."

Elissa thinks . o O (Ahhh, that's the type she goes for, eh. Big and...)

Joey smirks. o O (Mmmm..big and meaty men)

Seth continues to watch Savage for a long moment as he talks with the ladies.
After a moment while they converse he moves a little over to check out a
garbage can again for a moment.

Reno Riggs finishes eating and exits.. "Mole's Martian Deli"

Joey sees Seth out of the corner of her eye, "Oh no y'don't! Y'want me to get
y'some real food?"

Savage does not look towards Seth, but still seems to know what he's doing,
"Bad can!"

Elissa chuckles. "I think you blew his curcuits with that sentence"

Joey nods to Elissa, "Hmmm, I guess I should feed these two wildmen."

Reno Riggs speaks into the commlink clipped on his shirt.

Seth puts his hands behind his back and smiles, trying again to look innocent
as he stands by the can. When Reno walks from the deli Seth watches him to see
if anything is going to be deposited into the trash.

Savage says, "Feed?"

Joey nods to Savage, "Yeah. Y'want something to eat? I'll get something for
y'and Seth. Not a trouble."

Elissa says, "She wants to ply you with food"

Savage nods to Joey then looks strangely at Elissa, "Ply?"

Reno Riggs tosses a empty can as he finsihes it into a nearby receptcle

Seth suggest then. "I can get food for you at the beach!" he says to the
others. "Catch a fish that was not in the can."

Reno Riggs climbs in his car..murmuring more instructions to his clip on comm

Elissa says, "Seth, there are places where the oragnebacks will get you fish.
Want to see?"

Seth quickly scavanges the can as it's tossed into the garbage. He studies it
for a moment and sniffs it. Even putting the opening up to his eye to look
into it. Over course... that's not always the wisest thing to do. THe can is
dropped as he holds his hand over his eye that is rather dark and wet from the
soda that remained in teh bottom of the can.

Savage says, "Orangebacks?"

Seth says to Elissa as he holds his hand over his eye for a moment then checks
his hand. "Ocean has lots of fish in it too!" Wow, well that was was quite
astute of the guy wasn't it.

Reno Riggs turns on the car to a low humm.. and the beaten battered car pulls
out and heads down the road.

Joey watches as Seth starts chasing Reno's car, like a dog, "Hmm, strange
guy."

Savage says, "What Orangeback?"

Joey shrugs, "I have no clue what an orangeback is. Y'want to come with me and
I'll...feed..you?"

Savage nods, "Feed Savage."

Joey holds out her hands to Savage, "Fly with me?" she asks, smiling.

Savage takes Joey's hand.

Joey hovers above the city, holding Savage, and then heads north.
Joey flies through the sky until the area becomes wooded. Then, she lands in
front of a house that is set far back from a small road, "Here we are again."

Savage nods at the wooded home, "Nice."

Joey opens the door to the house.
Joey smiles and begins to caress Savage's back, "What would y'like to eat,
hon?"

Savage frowns for a moment, "Something warm."

Joey nods and tells Savage, "I got just the thing. Kinda hor d'oeuvres."

Savage looks around the room for a moment or two, "Alone here?"

Joey nods, as she places some food on a tray and sticks it in the microwave,
"Yeah, we're alone. Wy?"

Savage takes off his mask and speaks in a totally normal (if somewhat deep)
voice, "Because... I didn't want to lie to you anymore."

Joey tilts her head to the side, "Lie? How'd y'lie to me?" she grins, taking
the food out when it beeps, "I mean..It's not like we talked a lot." she winks
at the unmasked man.

Savage chuckles slightly, "I didn't want to mislead you. About my
intelligence."

Joey puts the plate down on a table and then walks over to Savage, running a
hand over his chest, "It's okay. I kinda figured it was an act, anyway.
Especially when I saw y'go by at the Boardwalk last month."

Savage blushes, and wraps his arms around Joey, "I thought you saw me. I
wasn't sure you recognized me, though. I take it this means you're not going
to kick me out and refuse to have anything to do with me or anything?"

Joey grins, "Of course not. Y'being silly. I like you, and I'm a third
generation hero, so I know about secret ID stuff, even if I don't have one
myself. We'll just have to watch which of y'is seen with me."

Savage sighs, "I'm glad you understand. Now... Do I devour the food or you
first?"

Joey chuckles, "Hmm, if you do me first, the food'll get cold. But, it depends
which thing y'are hungry for most."

Savage looks to the plate, looks at Joey, and smiles...

Fade to Black...
