No invasion, but there's pie

The heroes continue to arrive and partake in the Thanksgiving feast, with varying degrees of relief that the "alien invasion" was merely a ruse.

"Drama there better than the Brownstone and Ollie doing the 'damn kids off my lawn/I'm not getting any why should anyone here?" No he hasn't said that, but you should witness the vibe he has projected to his staff.

Okay, for those who did not think Tara squees like a lunatic, you would be dead wrong.

"EEEEeee...I mean happy for you. Finally man with a clue to the goodness that is Mia." She does a little dance. "Yeah..."

"Titan drama way more fun then Ollie grumpiness and I'd be fine with him getting ungrumpy so long as he chooses wisely."

Mia laughs and joins in the dance, spinning around. "Oh yeah, Oh yeah," while shaking her booty.

"Ollie? Wisely? Best we can hope for is a triple thick condom and no villains or complete gold diggers knocking on the door," she quips. Then she corrects. "Wait...They used to say that about Arsenal. Nevermind."

There's more Connor dancing then she has to ask. "Okay, is he any good? I mean, he picks up stuff fast, but...This IS, Connor."

"See. Because of Arsenal we have hope for Ollie. But then he has been surprisingly good about the whole Dr. Midnight thing. And speaking of good...I've kissed a lot of guys. Many of which were trying to be impressive but Connor, whooo!" Mia takes a moment to fan herself, "I know he hasn't really kissed many, if any, people so there is no damn way he should be able to be that hot with so little pratice. But I'll take it." She finishes with a grin.

"Yeah...Yeah all three of them really have been." She sobers. "Okay, this last year, I have been waiting for the earth shattering 'kaboom,' out of someone. Nope." she sighs. "If anything, it's too polite."

As for Connor, she has to laugh. "Genetics, I'll bet. Some people are just too damn hot to be single! So, um, is there going to be more in the future there or do I have to smack him around?"

"Too polite? Maybe our little Ollie is growing up!" Mia wipes away a fake tear.

Mia gives a little sigh, "More from Connor? I don't know. Maybe. Signs look good. I'm hoping to drag him out to a movie. Dark theatre, shared popcorn. Basically, just to give him an opportunety. If he doesn't go for it some smacking around is definately in order."

"Please, It's Ollie. Besides, when does Bird boss not have a terrific temper?"

"Oh, if Connor does not figure it out there will be coal in the stocking. Mounds and mounds of coal." There's a smirk. "Besides, maybe getting him to feel like he's got permission to be a bad boy might be good for him."

Mia shrugs, "Point. The three of them will have it out before this gets settled. I just hope no one is completely crushed after it happens."

"Permission to be a bad boy." A dreamy look comes over Mia's face, "Oooh that could be fun! But oh, stockings and Christmas. What do you get for the guy who's religion teaches him to want nothing?"

There's a strong exhale there. "I think that, sadly, is inevitable. I just hope she doesn't wuss out and ditch both of them out of so sort of screwed up nobility. It won'[t make her happy."

Tara stops her first her first response which was You and ribbons.. Mia will catch the split second shade that passes over her face that no one else would - the one that leave this look at the edges of her best friend's eyes - but it is only a split second.

"A way to get to know something new. You." A slight beat. "It's like he's always on the edge of stepping out of that comfort zone and...then he doesn't. But damn...How many movies hasn't he seen? How many concerts hasn't he gone to? Has he actually ever been to a nightclub in his life?"
