“Cool. More people! We need more people!” Rose was nodding, and Draco was looking at her impatiently. Someone was wanting to burn off his own rush of energy.

“Sounds good to me.” Phillip stuck his hands in his pockets, and looked at everyone before uttering his next words.

“All right, everyone carry on. And maybe tonight we all go out on the town? A little family bonding time?”  He waited for everyone to agree, and they did. Rose was more excited about the chance to go out than everyone else. Draco and Leon were more recluses than the others.

“I’m dancing tonight at Club V! Come hang out. Drinks are on the house,” I told them and slowly let go of Leon, coming to my feet next to him and wiggling my hips slightly as an upbeat song started to play in my head.  They looked like they needed a night out.

“All in for a night at Club V?” Phillip asked, and everyone nodded. Cool! Tonight was going to be so much fun! Maybe I would get Leon in my cage. The fit would be snug, but we could make it work.

They all agreed to meet up around 10:00 p.m., and were instructed by Phillip to go see AJ before we all left to get our new communicators. I was very interested in seeing what they looked like, so I leaned up to kiss Leon on the nose before rushing into the elevator behind Phillip.

No one else followed, and I smiled to the crew as the doors closed.

“Is the club going to get shot up tonight or something?” If it was, I had a lovely bulletproof vest I could wear, and nothing else underneath. It would work nicely with my leather pants and boots.

“I don’t see anything happening at the club tonight. Word’s going to get out about the heroes that saved the hostages at the bank, and more criminals will feel it as a challenge. I figured this would be a nice time together before shit hits the proverbial fan.”  He tried to give me a grin, and I understood what he was saying. Idiot criminals would see people saving the day as a challenge, instead of a threat. They would do more just to see what would happen.

“We will just have to kick their asses, so they know the deal.” I patted him on the back and as soon as the door opened, I twirled my way to the room that housed our little punk techie.

AJ was doing what he did best as we opened the door.

“Oh man, I love Tetris!” I giggled and walked over to the seat next to him. He looked a little bashful as I leaned in close.  Aw, poor little kid, he didn’t know what to do when a pretty pair of lips and tits got close. Sweet boy.

“Okay. Enough playing. Give me the goods! I love new toys!” I laughed, interrupting his new fallen shape’s destination. He exited out of the game and reached over to a small box.

“Taking into account your last job and all, I thought you’d like this.” I watched with complete and utter attention as he pulled the lid back and revealed a pretty necklace.

“Ohh—gimme!” I reached for it, and he helped me get it on. The charm was the symbol that was in the hallway, I assumed it was their Hero Society logo, so I felt honored to wear it.

“Give me all the deets,” I demanded, and AJ went about telling me how the necklace worked. The charm was probably about three inches in diameter. There was a screen on the back, and it did everything I would need. I would get alerts when something was happening near me, calls could be made and taken, and it was waterproof! I loved it. He showed me everyone else’s and I couldn’t wait till they checked them out: watches for the boys and another necklace for Rose.

Heroes for the win on gadgets!

I gave both the boys a hug before leaving to get ready for work. I’d see everyone later, and as our maybe last normal night for a while, I was going to make sure they had a blast!
