Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake has had a very unprofitable day. It wasn't a good day to be an assassin either. He'd put four in the hospital. Assassins do not fear death, but no one wants a compound fracture. In the end he frustrated them by making no demands, no threats. He merely wanted the middle management to take notice and reach out to him. This was after his usual channels failed.

But they were assassins and he wasn't perfect. Hence, he sported a cut on his cheek. The knuckles of his right hand were raw and bruised. Another cut was near his hairline for that Harry Potter look.

Entering his house carefully he finally relaxed when he saw the tiger watching him sagely. No more threats. He was home. He removed the golden cat mask, fell on his bed, and almost immediately fell asleep.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn has been laying low lately, mostly just making trips to Mutant Town to help out X-Corp's cause although she wasn't an official 'helper' or 'member' or anything of the sort. To be honest, things have been fairly quiet on the JLD front, and it seems there are more than enough Xmen to deal with things from that angle.

Which leaves her looking pretty bored as she sits in front of the tv, watching the news and curled up with a cup of hot cocoa, sighing quietly. It's getting chilly outside lately with winter around the corner, and she's bought some good quality hot chocolate bombs which are, well 'da bomb'.

Of course, she hears the door open and sees him approach tiredly for his bed. "Huh, Thomas?" with a blink, she hops from her seat and steps towards the bed to check on him.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake regards Megan through barely open eyes and eyes, "I don' wanna go to school... principal hates me since I made out with his girlfriend, the librarian." He rolls over onto his side. "We know how this works. I take a power nap, get cleaned up and then well rested I sleep another eight or ten hours. Would you be a darlin' and feed Rasputin for me? Just his dry food." He blows a kiss and rolls back over. "So glad we can just stay in."

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn blinks slowly at Thomas' weird mutterings, leaning over to listen while trying not to wake him up..He must have been really tired. What was he doing? She frowns. "Woah, did you regenerate to your highschool self or..Or something?"

She pouts, leaning on her elbows to watch him. And then he seems to acknowledge her in the present and she giggles, leaning over to kiss him softly on the cheek before climbing to her feet. "Uh, yeah...Sure.." she hurries off to do just that. Hopefully the tiger is nt too hungry and in the mood for eating faeries!

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake gets up and winces. "Sorry, I was inquiring after an old friend. Some people were not willing to help me out. We had a heated exchange." He begins pulling the stealth suit off. H doesn't bother replacing it with much. He looks at the cut n his cheek and then dabs some antibiotic cream on it. Then he rummages about for concealer. "Oh. Dang. I forgot...that album release party is tonight. I need a drink. I'm feeling a little ragged." Fighting a few assassins at once, not the smartest thing he ever did. A few assassins fighting Catman turned out to be way dumber. Try it with at least five next time.

"Do we know anyone there besides Mike and Wade? Neither of whom will have much time to tall?"

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn returns, a bit ruffled. Hey, tigers are scary, but she managed to feed him without becoming the main meal. "Old friend, huh?" she narrows her dark red eyes at him, "An old...Girlfriend, you mean?" she frowns slightly, wondering if she should be worried. "Uh..Anything I can help with?" she's already grabbed a can of beer for him, setting it down on the nearby table.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake walks over to Megan and kisses her as he takes the beer. "Yes old girlfriend if you must know. She taught me stuff that kept me alive when I started this crazy gig. I owe her my life at least twice. She's a dear friend. You, however, you may make me late for this affair you look so nice and treat the tiger and me so well." He pounces on her neck, in a nice way. It's to show her she has nothing to worry about. Also he likes doing that.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn peers at him thoughtfully, nodding slowly. "I get it, she's still a part of your life..I guess I'm a jerk for being a bit jealous, but I trust you." She meeps as he pounces, but throws her arms around him, snuggling tightly against him. "Mmm, I like when you get frisky." she smiles impishly, "You must be tired.."

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake hugs her back. "As my aunt would says, 'Tired and daid is two differ'nt things.'" Actually she'd probably slap him for such a terrible impression.

"Frisky? Frisky? I'm not frisky... I'm a babe hound (pardon the dog metaphor), you're the babe. C'mon entice me to stay home. It's easy and fun." He waggles an eyebrow at her.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn giggles, and starts to tickle him a bit. "Come on, you've obviously had a rough night, why don't we...Get you out of that stealth suit and into something more...Comfortable..?" Well, he's already pulling it off, but she totally helps, frowning at the wounds. "Are you gonna be okay? Need a bath? I think it's my turn to pamper you.."

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake watches as he looses more costume. "I could do that... we can be a little late."
