Cast of Characters: Conner Kent, Hope Summers




Conner Kent has posed:
It has been about three weeks since Conner last saw Hope, and that was in a cruiser ship in the middle of a storm. Fun times; and they also had some good food they had after beating up the pirate terrorists that had taken over the boat.

And then nothing. There is still some deal of awkwardness going, at least from Conner's direction. Truth to be told she rarely has her phone number. Hope goes through burners quickly, plus no social media he knows. Either she is in the Roost the weekend, or she is hard to pin unless he uses the Outsiders official channels. Which are not for chitchat.

So, he left her a note in her room at the Roost. With his address in New York. 'Come to get coffee or whatever'. PD: They don't allow guns in the building. Please.

Hope Summers has posed:
Hope Summers is always busy, always trying to find the next terrorist or the next meta baddie to stick it to. She rarely takes time to herself, and honestly, things had been pretty much left in the air between the two of them. Still, the invitation piqued her curiosity, and she really should take it easy when things are quiet.

And so she had made it to his place a little while later, sans guns for a while, but still wearing that ragged cloak. No doubt she at least brought a little dagger, just in case. Hey, you can never be too careful, even at a friend's apartment.

She presses the buzzer then a moment later knocks on the door once she's let in.

Conner Kent has posed:
Sure thing, Conner didn't expect Hope to come to visit -right away-. Good thing he has superspeed and can do some cleaning while the redhead gets to his floor. But the time he opens the door all the clothes have been shoved in the wardrobe and there are no dirty plates in the sink. He also turned on the AC, although the temperature in the room is still 'August in New York', barely a notch under 'hell'.

"Hey, Hope," he greets at opening the door. "Looking good, come in. Er... unless you want to go out to grab lunch, it is almost time." He might be babbling a bit.

Hope Summers has posed:
Hope Summers smiles, arching a brow. "Hi! Did I come too soon? I've never been here before actually..Can I come in? It's been a long week, wouldn't mind hanging in fir a change, if that's okay with you?" she's already trying to peek around him to his apartment, totally curious.

Conner Kent has posed:
"Yeah, sure," Conner grins, ushering Hope in and closing the door. "Want a drink?" The apartment is a large studio, with several windows and plenty of light. There is a couch to sit down, or Conner's computer chair. Cheap furniture, but it is all new. "Actually, you look tired. Have you been busy?"

Hope Summers has posed:
Hope Summers smiles, hopping in and looking around. "Woow, this place is awesome, Conner! Why have I never been here before?" oh right, because she works too hard all the time and only ever really sees him at the loft. She steps towards the couch and flops down, shrugging, "Oh you know, always keeping vigilant, keeping an eye out for terrorists, I guess I can't really admire to relax much.." even if she is just a kid really..

Conner Kent has posed:
"It is just an apartment," replies Conner with a grin. Compared with the Roost it is terribly normal. But he guesses Hope has odd standards, her being from some pretty crappy future.

"Looking for terrorists, uh? You should coordinate with Tim. He is a workaholic and has hacked his way in most intelligence agencies," he offers, "then maybe you could find some time to relax. Hey, even he took some days off," to go into a cruiser. Which got attacked by terrorist. And probably he knew it would. "Or maybe he did," probably not. "Anyway. You know what I mean." He heads for the kitchen and returns with a can of soda for Hope. It is hot outside.

Hope Summers has posed:
Hope Summers shrugs and chuckles, "Yeaah, we did that whole cruise thing..Guess that didn't last long though, but this is nice.."bshe sighs, lounging out on the sofa and smiles as he offers sofa, "Thanks! It's pretty hot outside, wouldn't mind a swim..Even just jumped in a lake or river?

Conner Kent has posed:
"Swim?" That was not in the equations. Well, if Conner did equations. "Er... definitely not recommending the Hudson River. We can go to a New Jersey beach, I guess. I'd say Hawaii, but that is a long flight."

He opens his soda and hmms. "Did you bring a swimsuit? Because those are advisable, you know?"

Hope Summers has posed:
Hope Summers shrugs and chuckles, "Well, I guess I should have packed one but didn't think about it til I was halfway here." she smirks, "Come on, have you never tried something a little wild like swimming in the river? What a rush? But...Well Hawaii is fun.." Stil, she's already here, may as well make her self comfortable.

"It's okay, no rush. I wanna check out your place more..Soo what do you do for fun around here?" it all seems so..So domestic. An apartment. A tidy apartment. Her place back at the roost can be a bit disorganized, and looks more like an army camp than anything really.

Conner Kent has posed:
"I have kinda..." Conner waves that away. Getting punched into Gotham's harbour or the Hudson River count as 'wild swimming'? Probably not. "If you want to find a river, uh..." he gets his cellphone, Google it is.

"Here? Oh, I don't do many fun things here. I come here to study or work in some project. Stuff I could do in the Roost, I know, but I want to have a place close to college. Some place friends from my more mundane life can come." He has been trying this 'normal life' thing for a year and a half and not tired yet.

Not a gun on sight, isn't that weird?

Hope Summers has posed:
Hope Summers chuckles, tilting her head. "Oh yeah? when was that? Did you enjoy it?" she shrugs, plopping on the sofa, enjoying the comfort of it. "Ahh, this is nice. Nice view, nice tv. So tidy. I guess it must be really quiet and peaceful too hmm? Away from all the craziness at the roost?"

Not that Hope didn't mind being around people. Sometimes it got lonely back where she came from. "Oh hey, do you have a balcony too?"

Conner Kent has posed:
"New York quiet? Uh huh," Conner smirks, checking his cell. "Well, not as bad as Gotham, but I think you need to go to a warzone for worse. Maybe Apokolips," he might be exaggerating a little. But Gotham leans to this kind of comment.

"I like the Roost, though," he admits. "Tim built a cool place. And for some reason it is full of beautiful, dangerous girls," he winks an eye at Hope. "Oh, this lace looks good," he shows Hope a picture of a swimming pond near a fall. Ithaca, New York, it says. It is fairly close.

Hope Summers has posed:
Hope Summers smiles, "Not that I'm complaining, this is...Peaceful. It's really nice." she's already moving towards the balcony to peer outside at the street view. "Must be nice having a big roomy place all to yourself."

The roost is nice too though, and it makes her chuckle when Conner says that. "Ooh, well when you put it that way. I mean we're all pretty dangerous, aren't we? Somem ore than others.."

She pauses to look at the picture, eyes widened. "Ooh, that looks really nice. Have you been there before?"

Conner Kent has posed:
"Ninjas and bat-women and soldiers from the future and clone assassins..." the last one gives him pause. It hits too close home. He glances at the cell again, shakes his head. "Er... no, I just found it in the net. Want to check it out? I can fly there in fifteen minutes."

Hope Summers has posed:
Hope Summers chuckles. "Yeah, that's quite the gathering.." she shrugs, "He's all business and no pleasure though, too professional to take advantage. That's good. Professionalism is always a good quality in a leader.." She smiles and nods. "Hey, sounds fun, lets go!"
