Alexis Carr has posed:
    Allegra had been spending far more time in the Hellfire Club and on her own in the city as of late; she had stopped viewing homes in Westchester, and had stopped any visit to Xavier's -- she was too busy with 'Work'.

    Work that had required her to have binders with technical layouts of buildings. Books which, if Sam had snooped, had details about fire alarm systems.

    If he didn't... well. They're just Hellfire Club party details, aren't they? LIke the ones she keeps for Club Purgatory.

    Instead of being at home this evening, or at the club, she was sitting in the outdoor dining area of one of the pubs, pouring over one of the mysterious binders with a soft drink and a platter of fries in front of her.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie may not be the biggest fan of the Hellfire club, but he has been making efforts to come in and be around her when she has time. Tonight, he has come to have dinner with her. The young man is dressed up a bit nicer than normal button up shirt, and dress pants. He comes up behind her, and leans over her shoulder to kiss her cheek, and offers her a rose "Hey there good looking," He grins at her

Alexis Carr has posed:
TAllegra startles, and she turns, looking up to Sam as she gives a bright smile, closing her eyes to kiss his cheek back.

    "Hullo Sam." She greets him, closing the binder in front of her as she takes a deep breath, accepting the rose. She smells it a moment, her dark eyes looking to Sam.

    "You look nice tonight." she states to him, looking the Kentuckian up and down as she leans back a little. She herself is in her typical 'work clothes' -- fashionable blouse, skirt, stockings, blazer -- very professional.

    "I'm happy I finally have a night off."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie smiles and after the kiss and a hug he will move to sit down opposite her, and smiles "I am to, between your work, mine and classes, not getting to spend as much time just looking into your eyes as I would like." He offers her a smile and says "How have you been doing love?"

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "Not too bad -- just..." Allegra frowns a moment.

    "Busy." she states quietly. She rubs her left shoulder, turning away from Sam.

    "It's nice that I'm not traveling so much to Westchester any more, though. I'm considering getting a larger suite at the club for the nights you're not home. Just... feels nice to be secure."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie reaches over to take her hand. His face showing concern for her "Whats wrong hon." He gives her hand a squeeze "Something bothering you, need me to come home to the place more often hon? someone giving you problems I need to help with?" His voice and body language showing his concern for her.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "What -- no, no, you're teaching and helping, and you're still going to class." she states -- and she draws her hand away from his hands as he squeezes it. She keeps her other hand on that black binder, her dark eyes half closing.

    Lying to Sam doesn't work well for her. She curls her fingers slightly.

    "Mr. Shaw would like to see me have some more responsibilities around the club -- as far as some management goes. It's all well and good to be social, and it gives me some standing -- but it's interesting work. Learning how to run Club Purgatory."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie 's brow raises a bit as she has not pulled her hand away from his like that since they were first starting dating and the whole mutant thing came out. "Whats wrong hon, you know your important to me hon, Ah want to be there for you."

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "Nothing -- nothing's wrong." Allegra replies, looking back to Sam as she gives a small smile, then looks down at the menu, taking another pull of her softdrink.

    "How are classes going, by the by?"

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie hmms and says "I have been doing pretty well in them. I got past the point of them trying to break me on the physical stuff at least." He offers her "So, you wanting to work running the club?" He asks her "Not wanting to to back to playing music full time?"

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "I don't think playing music full time will get me very far, not with my father still out there, waiting for the chance to get me back under his thumb." the brunette replies quietly. "So, at least helping to run Purgatory -- notably, /not/ the club the Mardi Gras was held in -- this is one where I'm permitted to be in. It's the Under-21." she states, and she gives a slight smile.

    "I don't think my music is what they want to be played in the club -- they're more DeadMau5 and less Mozart."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie nods and says "Well as long as your happy hon, you know I will do what ever ya need me to do to make sure your happy." He offers her a smile, and says "Just be carful around them, but I trust you can take care of yourself, and know you can just ask and I will be there to help however I can.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    Allegra takes a deep breath, and she looks to Sam. She folds her fingers a moment, and then she looks down to the binder.

    "... I am careful, Sam. More than you know." she whispers quietly, and looks to the menu again.

    "What were you thinking about tonight for dinner?"

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie hmms and says "Well probably go with steak and a baked tater, unless you have heard something is really good here." He smiles a bit and says "The old stand by I know." He does look at her concern showing but he does not voice it letting her tell him what she wants to

Alexis Carr has posed:
    Allegra hides behind the menu. She looks over it.

    She turns it over again.

    She looks at the front of the menu, and she sets it down a moment.

    "... I was considering going back to Pro-HUMANA." she finally states.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie 's brow raises a bit high at this and says "Oh? Why hon, what has you thinking about that?" He asks, there is no anger, concern, maybe a little bit of hurt, but concern is the major thing showing.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "To... to report on them. From the inside, I mean." she explains, and she looks nervous.

    "Maybe we could find some sort of... I don't know. A flux in the power. Take them out and dissolve them from the inside in order to just dump them, get all the people to remove their assets and put them elsewhere..." she trails off a moment, and then breathes out.

    "... it would take me away for a while."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie looks to her, and says "You don't think your dad would out you, you think he would let you back around and not tell folks your a mutant?" He looks to her, and says "Ah know you know more about them hon, but Ah do worry about and you." He looks to her and says "You know the first anti mutant group I ever had any real personal ties with was Humanitie's last stand

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "My dad only thinks I'm dating a mutant. He didn't.. I don't think he knows..." she replies quietly, and she purses her lips, and then she cradles her chin in her palm.

    "Humanity's Last Stand?" she questions quietly.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie nods and says "Was a group a guy Joelle was dating and got their hooks into her for a bit till she realized they planned on hurting mutants, has power armor and the whole none yards." We got her out and she eels horrid about it, we don't talk about it much.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    Allegra's weight shifts again, and she looks up at Sam for a moment.

    "But I'm going in specifically to start ratting them out. LIsts of donors, where the money is being fueled to -- I'm not the shy enguine I was before, Sam. I've grown."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie nods, and looks to her, and says "Shy young girl, who balled out power girl?" He asks her with a smile "If you feel you need to do it hon I understand, will we be able to find a way to see one another?"

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "In my defense, she did kind of crash my unofficial birthday party." Allegra points out with a wry smile, leaning forward.

    ... but then Sam asks that question.

    And she straightens up a moment, then looks down.

    "... I think we're beginning to see that our lives have very different paths, Sam."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie blinks and reaches to take her hands in his and says "Alexis are you.... are you wanting to break up with me?"

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "... I love you more than I love anything else in this world." Allegra states quietly. She curls her fingers into Sam's.

    "... but we both know I'm not exactly welcome or chummy with some in the mansion..." She states...

    "She looks at him like there is so much more that she wants to say. Her bottom lip trembles a moment.

    "You should be concentraiting on your work and your classes, and not worrying about me. You have so much on your plate." she states. She looks at the binder again, then closes her eyes.

    "You... can keep using the Brooklyn apartment. It's yours. I'll make sure it gets paid for. You and Roberto put so much into the security, it'd be a shame if it didn't get used."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie looks to her, and says "Some of the people at the mansion Ah don't think should be welcome there either hon, but your welcome by the ones who are important, I don't want to loose you hon." He looks at her, and says "I would rather concentrate on whats important to me, and that is you. Will you give me a chance to talk and see if we can find a way to make it work?"
