It was a little after seven in the evening. Peter and Sasha had made a pitcher of margaritas, ordered fajitas from the Mexican place in town and were currently sitting out on the patio eating. Tex was passed out on his side snoring. Peter had lit the torches and the radio was on low. Nathan was out to dinner so it was just him and Sasha for the

"You know its kind of weird for Nathan to be the one on the date and us to be here at home," Sasha commented, sitting back and taking a sip of her margarita. She'd helped Nathan pick out an outfit and given him a hug for good luck, not that she knew what they were currently defining as 'good luck'. She didn't know enough about this woman to be supporting something with her yet, she was just supporting Nathan having a good time.

"Huh?" Peter said, looking up at Sasha confused as he was putting together a fajita. "Nathan's on a date? I thought it was dinner."

[daughterof_evil]

"Uh, yeah!" she confirmed with a giggle, her eyes wide at his clueless expression. Nathan was out to dinner with a woman, of course it was a date. She expected him to know that much by now. "Dinner with a mysterious ladyfriend who he says he's attracted to and likes to flirt with. Come on, when do I ever have to help him pick out his clothes?"

[mybrothershadow]

"Oh," Peter said, furrowing his brow a minute. After a moment he shrugged. "I dunno. I didn't think much about it. Just that he had dinner with someone." He licked guacamole off his finger. "So is he nervous about it? 'Cause usually Nathan does okay picking out his own clothes. Who is she?"

[daughterof_evil]

Sasha shrugged. "I think he's a little nervous, but no more than anyone else is on a first date." She took another sip of her drink. "Her name is Marlie, she's renting a house down the beach. And he says she has a modeling agency but I've never heard of her so it must be a small one."

Peter thought about that a moment and took a sip of his margarita. "Or she's lying. Maybe we should go check on him."

[daughterof_evil]

"Since when are you the one accusing everyone of being evil?" Sasha asked with a laugh. "You're Mr. See The Good in People. And there are a lot of little modeling agencies in New York, I think she's telling the truth. I may call Nathan in half an hour to check, but we are not crashing the party."

[mybrothershadow]

Peter shrugged. "Since I got stuck with a needle and ended up being Joe Normal," he answered honestly.

[daughterof_evil]

"I'm normal, you don't see me complaining," Sasha pointed out, taking a long sip of her margarita.

[mybrothershadow]

"But you're normal because you're made that way," Peter reminded her. "I'm normal because some guy in a lab decided it would be better, less dangerous, more productive...something."

[daughterof_evil]

"And you agreed to be imprisoned for four months because you wanted someone to make you this way," she said quietly.

[mybrothershadow]

"because I didn't want to ever hurt anyone again the way I hurt Nathan," Peter responded quietly. He shrugged and took a bite of his food. "I guess I got what I wanted."

[daughterof_evil]

"You have me," she reminded him. "What kind of life would we have had if you were off saving the world every five minutes? And the whole immortal thing, Peter. I know that you lost something, but at least we have a chance at a future together now."

[mybrothershadow]

Peter sat his plate down and sat back, watching Sasha carefully. All of the sudden he wanted out of there. He wanted a roof to stand on or to be able to go invisible or something. "And we didn't before? When I had powers?"

[daughterof_evil]

"How long would you really stay with me if I aged and you didn't?" she asked him seriously. "Would you ever want to have a family knowing that you would outlive your children? What kind of person would I be to even ask that of you?"

[mybrothershadow]

"Sasha, you're gorgeous. We both know that but I didn't fall in love with the way you look. I fell in love with you. I will stay with you for the rest of your life. However long that is, however much you age. I love you," Peter answered. He stood up and shoved his hands in his pockets and started pacing. "As far as children...if I were to get my powers back, I'm going to outlive everyone I know except Claire and Adam. If you wanted children, I'd want them with you. And look at this way, I'd get to live to see their entire lives. From start to finish. How many other people could say that?" He looked over his shoulder at her.

"You'd just be a person who wanted children."
