Pages of Justice! (Yes, we bend the time...)

[sue_invisible]

Sue wondered if she was there first for the monthly (or whenever they could all get together) 'literature' discussion and exchange group. Okay, it was more of a romance novel reading fest than it was taking anything off of Oprah's reading list

Nita opens the door, grinning widely. "Sue! Good to see you."

The smell of fresh paint and plaster fill the room. "Sorry about the smell... had Damage Control out here earlier today."

[sue_invisible]

"Damage Control?" Sue asked as she stepped in, "What happened that you needed to have Damage Control here?"

Yes she was concerned. She always worried about her friends and family, it was just the way she was. "Everything okay? I'm sure we can push this back if something's going on..."

[littleavenger]

She grins. "No, Namor just saw my cover-article in the Star," she laughs. "Besides, I hear we'll have someone new today... Diamond got an invite."

[sue_invisible]

Oh.

Oooooooh. "Everyone is still alive, aren't they?" Sue asked, still somewhat concerned. Well, that explained a lot. "And Diamond will be coming?" Crud, she hoped she had baked enough for everyone then. Of course she always tended to overshoot, but having enough was entirely dependant on who exactly stumbled on the baking as it cooled.

[littleavenger]

"For the moment," she nods. "And she got the invite. I hope she makes it."

She takes the basket. "I've got all kinds of stuff set up in the pool... I hope people remembered to bring their swimsuits. It'll be a nice change, I think, from the usual living-room setup."

[sue_invisible]

"I'd offer to talk to Namor for you, but I don't think he's very interested in seeing - or listening - to me at the moment," Sue offered.

"I know I brought mine," she said with a smile, "It will be nice to have it by the pool. It's a wonderful idea."

[littleavenger]

"I... talked to him a little earlier," she admits, but quickly changes the subject. "What did you bring?" She peeks into the basket.

[sue_invisible]

Sue didn't press the subject, and just gave her a reassuring smile. If Nita wanted to talk about it she would. If she didn't, she wouldn't say anything. "Well, there's some cookies, brownies and various cupcakes in there, and I'm hoping that Johnny, Ben and Franklin didn't get any while they were cooling off," she said with a laugh.

[littleavenger]

"What about Dr. Richards? With those stretchy fingers, I'd think he'd be able to steal all kinds of treats without leaving his lab." She smiles at her.

[sue_invisible]

Sue chuckled, "You'd think that, if he paid attention to much else while he's in there." She loved her husband dearly, but he could be oblivious to the outside world when working.

"He'd be just as likely to accidentally grab a handful of nails thinking they’re chocolate chips," okay, a little far off, but similar things have happened.

"Besides, I bring him his own."

[littleavenger]

Nita smiles, looking at her for a moment. Mrs. and Dr. Richards have always been so kind to her, and she respects them and their relationship more than words can really express.

"You two are really too cute," she says finally.

[sue_invisible]

Sue laughed, "People keep saying that and I can never figure out why," she knew. Really, she knew.

"Why don't we start getting things ready? Have you opened up any windows yet? It might help get the plaster and paint smell out."

[littleavenger]

"All but the skylight," she nods. "It's not so bad in the pool room anyway. I've got some rooms set out for changing, if you want to be the first in the pool."

Nita herself is already wearing her scaly green swimsuit that often doubles for her costume.
