[connor's bored, mostly. you can only go on so many lame moped trips crying about the return of the cave roof for so long before you really need a new hobby. that new hobby might even be one of the lame board games he swiped from the stores - for a lot of guilt, so he's kind of hoping they're not missing pieces (lets be honest, they probably are.)

anyways he texts some of his friends and tells them to come over because the more the merrier I guess and they could probably all use some time to chill together or something. besides then his friends can meet his other friends and that's always a fun idea.

it's easier to be surrounded by people than left alone with your thoughts, is really the long and short of it. so here we all are.]

Hey, you made it!

It has it's ups and downs. [Did he know it was her from the sound of her boots or the steady beating of her heart? Who knows. There's no mistaking her voice for anyone else's, though.] I could complain, but tonight I'd really rather not.

[She smiles. There may be minimal alcohol, but she seems to have found some of what there is already.]

Hey. Been a while, hm?

[devilsavocado]

[ There's not mistaking Natasha, Avenger and Black Widow. Everything from her heartbeat to her steps are uniquely hers. I mean, she's a spy. How many other spies does Matt know? (Answer: none? Probably?) ]

Yeah, could be better, could be worse. [ He shoots her a smile. ] No monsters this time, thankfully.

[outstandingbalance]

There is that—I'm shrugging, by the way. [She is. And if she feels silly narrating it, she does a good job hiding it.] The company could be a lot worse.

[devilsavocado]

That's good to hear.

[ Matt smiles. Gold star for effort, Natsha, that's a quick way to end up in Matt's good graces. ]

Company's about all we have here, besides gods and whatever they decide to throw at us.

[outstandingbalance]

Monsters and mopeds. [There's a twist in her voice as she says that. It sure is a thing, isn't it?] Not that I'd imagine you got much use out of those.

[devilsavocado]

Yeah, no. [ He chuckles a bit. ] No one wants me driving one of those around.

[ He may have all his powers but that would be Too Weird. ]

[outstandingbalance]

You can still ride passenger, though? Get your friends to chauffeur you around.

[If he hasn't then he really ought to.]

[devilsavocado]

And enjoy the sounds of the cave in slightly higher speed? Maybe.

[ He actually would Not like that. Unless... ]

Unless you're offering?

[outstandingbalance]

It's not exactly a Corvette Stringray, but it's still fun to get a little speed. Maybe.

[She echoes him wryly; sounds like he might be onto her though.]

If you're interested, I was thinking about it.

[devilsavocado]

Guess it does make it easier to get from point A to point B.

[ If you're not blind, anyway..... Something like a grin hits Matt's face. ]

I wouldn't say no.

[outstandingbalance]

Easier for some of us than others.

[You might have to accept some help, Matt Murdock. That doesn't mean it's totally unavailable.]

It's worth at least trying out.

[devilsavocado]

Right. Some of you.

[ But he's not spiteful or anything, just pointing out a fact. ]

I am a little curious. They were brought here by Tranquility, right? So they must drive smoothly at least.

[outstandingbalance]

[I mean. She could try to let Matt drive if he wanted. That sounds like something the women he's interested in would do. At least some of them.]

Smooth enough. Not exciting. But it could be a little fun, as long as you don't mind getting a little friendly.

[devilsavocado]

[ Maybe as a joke, Matt should never, ever drive. ]

Friendly is fine with me. Exciting is too, but I'll take what I can get.

[outstandingbalance]

Let's start with friendly and work up from there.

[What, you don't think it would be exciting to let someone else do the seeing for you with life and death on the line?

That aside, Natasha does consider that this probably isn't the time or the place to be flirting.

But what else is she going to do?

At least it seems normal.]

[devilsavocado]

[ There's a time and a place for everything, sure, but with the way things are in Hadriel, you take what you can get. Even if it means implying that Matt drive a vehicle, which is an entirely awful idea. ]

Sounds like a plan.

[outstandingbalance]

[Where is your sense of adventure, Matt?]

Just tell me when I should pick you up.

[devilsavocado]

Things have been pretty calm lately... which probably means a storm's coming. But I'll be sure to let you know before things go south.

[ That's just how things work here... ah, Hadriel. ]

[outstandingbalance]

Sounds like a plan. Though if it ends up being after... from what I hear, we'll both still probably be here. Either way.

[That's how things work everywhere for superheroes, Matt.]

[devilsavocado]

Don't know about you, but I'm fairly sure I'll be okay.

[ Says the blind guy, full of confidence. But it's not like he's a superhero or anything, noooo ]

[outstandingbalance]

Somehow, I think you'll be okay too.

[In Natasha's case? She's not too worried. She's pretty good at not dying.]

[devilsavocado]

Nice of you to say.

[ He smiles. He means that. ]

I'll try to avoid any monsters if I see 'em.

[outstandingbalance]

Strong plan. [Willing to see the humor in that suggestion. Sure.] But if you do need a hand...

[devilsavocado]

[ He can't help the blind puns, okay. ]

You'll be the first to know.

[outstandingbalance]

Hopefully you don't wait until you're dodging monsters to get back to me though.
