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.

There is another ring of the doorbell.

[littleavenger]

The door opens. "Rogue! Come in!"

[_steelmagnolia_]

"Am Ah too early?" Rogue comes in, having dressed up for the occasion. She's not likely to partake of the pool, so she made the effort to dress up some. There is a small bag with her, a beat up army green canvas one that has distinctly seen better days.

[littleavenger]

"You're right on time. Don't mind the smell..." She glances at the bag. "DId you bring a swimsuit?"

[sue_invisible]

After setting up the snacks, Sue changed into her deep blue swimsuit and just had her legs in the water at the moment, just relaxing. Her book and bag were on one of the many chairs in the pool room.

She hoped all the baking had turned out okay, the cookies were a bit iffy in her own mind, and in a house full of boys it was hard to get an honest critique on anything related to baking.

[_steelmagnolia_]

Rogue makes her way inside the room, looking around. She smiles at Sue, "Hi," and she makes her way to a comfortable looking chair. The bag is slung to the ground with a dull thump.

[sue_invisible]

"Hi," Sue said with a smile, still letting her feet dangle. "Snacks on the table if you would like some. I think the cookies are little overdone, I think."

[_steelmagnolia_]

"Thanks." Rogue moves to take some of the cookies before she settles back down. After nibbling on one, she thinks about it, "Ah don't think they're over done but Ah like mine a little crisp."

It was hard juggling work and a personal life, but Natasha managed to sneak a few hours of downtime in today. Although personally she expected some sort of crisis to rear its dastardly head as soon as the gathering started. There was no rest for the wicked and for those who stood against the wicked.

The bottles in the large paper bag clanked as she shifted it to one arm. Maybe she had brought a little too much al...scratch that. There never was such a thing as too much alcohol. She even managed to pick up a variety of alcohol and not just vodka. Hell, she even picked up frou-frou wine coolers. Never knew with this crowd.

The whole reason for her visit had also been tossed in the large paper bag.

She rang the doorbell.

[littleavenger]

The door is opened, and Nita grins at her. "It's the booze-lady! Come on in!" She gestures for Natasha to enter.

[redheadspy]

Natasha arched a brow. "Booze-lady?" she asked before taking a step into the penthouse.

[littleavenger]

She grins widely. "Well? What did you bring?"

[winsome_wasp]

Ding dong!

When the door was answered, there was Janet Pym. West siiiide (Avengers) represent.

She, of course, bobbed in her with her usual energy, her bag (which had her swimsuit and book) and a bag of baked goods.

"Sorry I'm late! I couldn't figure out what swimsuit to wear--so then I just decided to get a new one. Then I completely forgot to factor in the fact that I couldn't exactly park the Quinjet on your roof. I brought scones! There's this wonderful little bakery I know in San Fran."

[littleavenger]

"Great," she grins. "Don't mind the smell... go join the others by the pool. Mrs. Richards, Rogue, and Natasha are already here."

[winsome_wasp]

Paint smell. "Ooh, are you redecorating?"

Jan set up the scones on the table with the other baked goods, trying out one of the cookies. Mmm. She really needed to start asking Sue for her recipes.

[littleavenger]

"Rebuilding." She smiles, then shrugs. "Boys."
