3rd Floor Common Room, Thursday Night

[ultimatehottie]

Johnny didn't see what the big deal was with today. Oooh, people told the truth. So what? He liked telling the truth! He did it all the time! He was awesome. Reed was a douche. Gwen was cool. Alana was hot. He didn't have many male friends because he never truly felt deep down that he really belonged after spending his entire youth out of place. He

Hanna had spent most of the day in her room, or out in the Preserve. But she could smell the pizza from the Fourth Floor Common Room, and it seemed like a good time to practice socializing.

"That smells delicious."

[ultimatehottie]

"It's okay, but it's not like there are many options around here," Johnny said. "I don't know you yet. You're kinda hot."

[hexentotchen]

Hanna blinked at the slang, but smiled tentatively in greeting. "I'm not certain how you mean that. I'm not good at American slang yet." Which she wouldn't usually divulge, but it seemed ... necessary? She fetched a plate and said, "I'm Hanna. I rather like pizza, just not as much as Moroccan food. What are you watching?"

[ultimatehottie]

"A dumb movie that I enjoy more than I really want to admit," Johnny said. "But today's the day for that. I'm Johnny."

[hexentotchen]

"Hello, Johnny." Hanna took a seat at the end of the couch, puzzling a bit as she watched the movie. "That actress is very pretty. But I think everyone is very pretty."

...um.

[ultimatehottie]

"If I didn't have a girlfriend, I'd totally use that as a lead in to make out with you," Johnny said, a little sadly. "Maybe some other time, after I've screwed things up."

"... That was too brutally honest about myself. Geez."

[hexentotchen]

"I would like to make out with you. I've only had one kiss. I almost had another, but I frightened him too much after I flipped him onto the ground." Hanna frowned, looking at the pizza. "Is there something on this pizza that compels the truth? And why are you going to screw things up?"

[ultimatehottie]

"Because as awesome as I am, I'm not the most focused guy in the long term. Also, weird things happen to me, so you never know what's going to come up," Johnny said. "Probably something dramatic."

"And don't worry, I'm pretty sure most girls want to make out with me, so that's just a natural feeling you're having."

[hexentotchen]

"I was mostly worried that I might frighten you if I acted on instinct and training and punched you afterward." Hanna was still staring at her pizza, worried. "What kinds of weird things? Do you mind me asking these questions?"

Another pause to admire Kate Hudson, and the pretty dress she was wearing. And her pretty male co-star.

[ultimatehottie]

"Dude, I've hit on girls who tried to kill me. I can take a simple punch," Johnny scoffed. "And it'll take too long to explain, but it starts with me being a superhero who bursts into flames and works out logically from there."

[hexentotchen]

That kind of completely disrupted Hanna's train of thought. "Burst into flames. And of course you would hit someone who tried to kill you."

[ultimatehottie]

"Flame on," Johnny said. And his hand was on fire. "No, no. Hit on. Flirted with. She was a snake girl, I was single, there was middle ground to be had, if I'm being deluional."

[hexentotchen]

That was fascinating. Hanna leaned so far forward she was in danger of singeing her eyebrows. "You can just do this?... She didn't like you?" She gave Johnny a look of sympathy. "That seems a shame."

[ultimatehottie]

"Well, she liked the money she was trying to steal more, and I was keeping her and her gang from it," Johnny said. "We wanted different things."

The flame went away. Normal hand!

[hexentotchen]

"That does make sense. It's too bad she didn't try harder to have both. She could have offered you part of the money," Hanna observed. She reached out to his hand, then pulled back. "Were you born like this?"

[ultimatehottie]

"No, I got my powers in a science accident a couple years ago," Johnny said. "I've kind of devoted myself to saving lives and fighting crime ever since, so she wouldn't have gotten anywhere by offering me money."
