Owner	Pose
Alexis Carr	They were finally able to move back in after getting the all-clear from the neighborhood police. The outside of the building had some singe marks, but appeared to be, for the most part, unaffected by the occupation and subsequent combat, although there was spraypaint across boarded-up windows reading 'ALL ANGELS BURN IN HELL'.     Classic, NY.     Alexis was opening up windows to air out rooms and moving items back into place from where they were pulled away from exterior walls. Happy sounding pop music was filling the air around them, and Christmas Decorations were being sorted into boxes for storage -- she'd put Sam in charge of removing anything above shoulder height for him. Short girlfriend is short.     But over all, it was good to be Home.     Until the doorbell rings.
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie has been putting things back into place, checking for structural integrity if he sees any cracks, after all Sam knows a thing or two about bringing down walls or putting holes in them. He hears the doorbell ring, and says "I got it." He will head to the door as he passes Alexis, leans in kissing her cheek just cause and then goes to answer the door.
Alexis Carr	"Thanks, Love!" Alexis calls out as she struggles with the coffee table, digging her heels into the carpet and muttering a few low curses at it.     Down at the street level, seen through the sidelight of the door there was a dark car parked outside. Not out of the ordinary, but it's quite pricy.     ANd then the doorbell rings again, followed by a sharp, heavy knock.
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie looks over and says "Ah'm coming hold your horses." He does not worry about problems at the door. Sam was raised in a small town, and then lived at the X-mansion. He can also throw the blast field up with a thought so, he does not worry about the peep hole. He opens the door, and says "We are here, give us a moment, was putting things back where they belong."
Alexis Carr	And outside the door?     Filipe Caradenza. Head of Pro-HUMANA, former dance master of the Boston and New York City Ballet companies, His hair and eyes were the same color as Alexis's, though the hair had its salt in it now from age. He is holding a cane -- which he was using to knock on the door as if it would contaminate him, and the smaller man looks up to Sam with *utter* disdain.     "I am here to collect my daughter. Please fetch her for me. You *do* know what 'Fetch' is, don't you?" he asks in a dry tone. No, no the man does not like Sam one single iota.     Alexis pauses, listening to the sound of a familiar voice, and she slooowly pokes her head out over the railing that separated the second-floor ballet studio from the entry way.     "Sam. If he's rude, you have my permission to put him on his ass."
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie looks to the man, frowning but keeps his voice civil. "Well if you have come for that, you can turn yourself around and head back down the stairs and back to your car, and drive your oh so pleasant behind back home. " He does not shut the door on the man though. "She is happy here, and she makes up her mind where she is going not you or not me." He informs him. "You don't like me, I get it, but if you are willing to act civil, you can come in and speak with her, but know this, if you disrespect her, Ah will throw you out on your ear." He does not say if he will use the door, a window or a wall."
Alexis Carr	"Allegra!" Filipe calls out, scandalized that Sam threatened him, and then he attempts to brush by Sam, not even taking his shoes off as he goes up the stairs, leaving little puddles and slush on the first flight.     "Allegra Maria Caradenza, this has gone on quite long enough. You're teaching mutants. You're being *advertised* as openly mutant friendly -- did you know that? You Are Ruining Yourself with -- these people! Your skills are being wasted on the rabble. You can't even afford this building and your business without help from your mother!"     "I have it with help from *your* mother." Alexis calls back down. "Nonna and Papa forwarded me the cash, and I make enough with the business and the rentals to pay them back, father!"
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie will make Filipe, go around him, when he tries to brush by him Stands his ground. He will walk up the stairs, following Fillip. He looks to the elder man, and says "Ah said you will be respectful to her." Sam says calmly moving close enough to interpose himself, is the man reached for her. "As for her skills being wasted, Ah don't think she is wasting them, and Ah believe there is only really one thing standing in her way from doing shows again if she wanted to, and it is standing in our living room, dripping water onto our floors."
Alexis Carr	"Well, it's not about what you think, is it you... bumpkin." Filipe states dismissively to Sam. "And if you're dripping water you should probably clean it up. You people know how do do that, correct? And oh -- before you jump to 'mutant', I meant/ Southerner/." Filipe states, and that causes Alexis to bristle.     She stalks over, and she gets right into Filipe's face. As much as she can being a short lady.     "That's it. Get out. You can insult me, fine. INsult the people I serve in general? Fine. I know you are a /spazzatura dal cuore freddo/," her left hand comes up "And all you care about is that I was fattening your coinpurse while you held the strings to everything -- the pocketbook, my art, my heart -- everything. Even my *name*." she states, and she puts one finger in Filipe's face.     "BUt you do not. Do. Not. Get to come into *my* home, under *my* roof, in *my* place of business, and get to insult and demean *my* husband!"     Filipe was about to say something, but he stops short.     He blinks, and turns to look up to Sam -- at which point Alexis gives a wink to the taller man, and then crosses her arms.     "That's right. We eloped. To Iceland. While everything was in lockdown."
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie looks to the man, and says "The lady says your out, you have a choice of how you leave." He looks to the man and says "See Ah respect my wife and her wishes, Ah had held out a hope when we have kids, their grandfather might want to be a part of their lives, but if you can not see past your own issues, a great grand papa will have to do. I know they will love them." He motions towards the door.
Alexis Carr	"I will not tolerate a mutant in my family!" Filipe states, and he turns, and he reaches to grab Allegra's wrist to pull her with him.     "You are my *daughter*. This farce has gone on long enough, we are leaving!"     And Alexis looks up to Sam, and then she raises her other hand, and pools a ball of brilliant fire there.     "If you don't want a mutant in your family, then you have no daughter, Filipe. I'll take my name back, and my money, and my contracts."
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie will reach for his wrist, but at the look from Alexis, he will let her handle this. "You mean you do not claim the mutants in your family." He frowns at the man and looks to him, waiting to see his reaction, but ready to keep him from hitting Alexis if he tries to.
Alexis Carr	Filipe stops. He feels the heat of that flame, and he lets his jaw hang down.     Alexis takes her hand back from her father, and her eyes narrow.     "It's time for you to go. If you don't see yourself out, Sam will."     There's no other words that need to be exchanged. Allegra knew in about fifteen minutes, the world might know that she's a mutant.     And she watches as her father backs away from them both.     "Monsters... creatures -- you... you'll both burn for this!" he exclaims,a nd then he exits, shouting back curses at Alexis in Italian -- which she translates, meanining that there's a hole so deep in her soul it reaches to Hell, it's Sam's fault that she's a mutant, he must have done this to her, and he'll never forgive this insubordination.     And then she just breathes out.     "... sorry to spring that one on you, Sam."
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie will turn to her, and take her in his arms. He holds her and says "Ah am sorry he is like that hon, Ah wish there was something Ah could do to help him see the light, see what he is giving up. He shakes his head a moment and kisses her on the forehead and looks down at her and will say "So Iceland huh?" He asks with a bit of a smile to her.
Alexis Carr	"First place I could think of, I'm not a very good liar." Alexis gives a wry smile. "But congratulations on getting married, love. How was the first night?"
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie smirks a bit at her, and says "Like every night with you, wonder beyond belief a slice of heaven on earth." He keeps her held close rubbing her back. So what do you want to do tonight, I don't want to let him rain on our day we are back home, together, and can do what ever we want." He does ponder contacting that security specialist he talked to at work recently.
Alexis Carr	"Ugh. I don't know, I'd say 'grab a bottle of wine and celebrate my recent emancipation' but your drinking laws in this country are ridiculous." she remarks, leaning against Sam warmly as she gives a puff out.
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie chuckles a bit and says "Well we are in our own home, and Ah can buy some if you want." He offers her a smile. He does not seem bothered by her drinking having seen how her family lives in Italy
Alexis Carr	"Aah, but then you would be breaking the law, Mr. Guthrie. And you "And you would not want to break the law, would you?" she smiles, and she gives a small smile. "I'll be old enough eeventually... but for now?" I'm fine in making sure that --" she pauses, and she leans over a little "... he didn't even close our door, how *rude*."
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie nods, and will move to close the door himself. He is a bit paranoid when it comes to mutant haters, and is ready for some type of issue from the man, who would be his father in law. He tries not to show his caution to Alexis, as he moves to close the door. "I am surprised he took the time to open it getting out of here.
Alexis Carr	"Well... he's not a very strong man. His driver might have had to open it for him." Alexis recalls with almost amusement as she leans over the railing, watching Sam a moment.     "... well. Thank goodness my mother likes you."
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie closes the door, and looks up to her. Once the door is shut he will muffle his rocket, and blasts up to hover in front of her "Hey you." He grins at her and touches her hand so she is inside the field
Alexis Carr	Alexis gives a small smile, and she reaches out and accepts Sam's touch, inside his blast field as she hops up on the railing separating part of the dance area from the stairwell.     "Hey yourself, handsome."
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie pulls her close, and kisses her. He considers taking her out for a flight but the weather keeps him from that, instead they hover in an embrace at the top of the stairwell. "Love you." He says when the kiss is broken.
Alexis Carr	"I love you too, Sam." Alexis takes a deep breath, and then she leans her head forward against him, held in his arms.     "All that's left to do is wait, I suppose."
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie is so tempted to ask her to marry him, but he does not want her father's actions to mar the day that that will be. He holds her and moves around in a bit of a flying dance with her before lowering to the ground with her, and says "What would you like for dinner tonight?"
Alexis Carr	Alexis gives a little smile, and she runs the back of her neck a moment. "Well, I would say pizza, but the places are all still closed... I could go grab my jacket, and maybe we could find someplace?"
Sam Guthrie	Sam Guthrie nods his head a bit and says "We can do that, or I can go get it, depends on what you would like to do hon." He smiles and will move to get his shoes.
