“Hm” He just made a noise at that, because yeah, he didn’t necessarily approve of how she chose to use her powers. But technically it was freedom he was fighting for, and that was freedom. Doing something you liked.

“Sure, why not? Dinner sounds nice.” Indeed it did. “Own personal hell then? Well, then I am your Lucifer, pulling you into temptation.” He smiled at her again, softly, playfully. Aileen was smart and beautiful, how could he not be at least a little smitten by her? He was old but not dead.

     She noticed his comment and a smile graced her features as she picked up the glass of wine and took a sip. At least she’d made him a little uncomfortable too, that was a fair enough trade. ❝Lucifer? I dunno, I think you might be too ruggedly handsome for the devil. Or maybe that’s the point.❞

     Aileen sat her glass down again just in time for the waitress to come around, she had a friendly smile for the woman ready. Hopefully, they wouldn’t mind her sudden addition since the reservation was only for one. ❝I'll have the surf and turf, please. Make the steak rare. And a house salad for the wait. Please, Steven, help yourself. It’s on me.❞

He sat with his chin his hand, elbow resting on his knee, looking bored as he waited for the usual request. Revenge on someone who had wronged her, irresistible beauty, handsome and successful husband. A ridiculous amount of wealth. It was always the same with humans, he remembered a time when he would give anything just to be normal like them. A dream, a foolish one at that, since it would never be. And after witnessing the lengths the mortals would go to get things they selfishly desired, he was suddenly thankful he wasn’t among them anymore. Now they were merely prey, a regular supply of either life energy or souls. 

At learning his summoner’s request, though, he did a double take. Did he hear that right? He found himself holding his hands up to make a T, a bewildered expression on his face as he studied the redhead. “Timeout. You went through all this trouble and tracked my ass down just for this? Teleportation mastery? I can give you literally anything you want, and that’s what you choose?” He chuckled softly, shaking his head a bit. What is with these humans nowadays, no sense at all. “You’re aware I’m not a genie, right? You may not be able to fathom it now, but my price is pretty steep. Unless you feel being a mutant is so unbearable that you’re going to throw in the towel a decade from now?”

     ❝Yes.❞ Aileen answered seriously with her jaw set and her arms still folded firmly across her chest. ❝I can get anything else I need, I’ve never needed anyone before and I don’t now.❞ Never mind the fact that she was lonely, that was her cross to bear because she’d chosen it. ❝Being a mutant is all that I have. I don’t have a mother or a father, I never knew them. I’m a product of foster homes and self-teaching. I only reached out for help when I needed to learn how to defend myself. I’m reaching out now because I’m in over my head, I don’t think this is something that I can teach myself. I’m sure they could help me at that fancy mutant school, but I didn’t go back when I discovered my power and I’m not going to go crawling to them now.❞

     She stepped closer finally uncrossing her arms so she could break the circle and free him but moved away again to pour herself some coffee instead of lingering. ❝Coffee? It’s fresh. There are donuts and bagels too, I suppose I owe you that much for the whole ceiling thing.❞ That was about as close to an apology as he was going to get. ❝You’ll have to actually teach me, right? I don’t think that’s something you can just make a person learn. I hear you know how though, you don’t want to know how many of your kind I ripped through just to get that information. It honed my torture skills, but I might have made some enemies. I think it’s safe to say it might be a little too late to turn back now.❞

John had decided to not spend the limited time he got to spend on earth cooped up at SGC. Instead he hitched a ride to the next town over, hitting the first bar he found. A few drinks would loosen him up and he’d maybe get a good nights sleep out of this too. As he walked in he could see that the bar was rather crowded. Great. It was Friday night after all, he’d forgotten. The only free stool he found was up at the bar, right next to a redhead. John couldn’t see her face but he didn’t really look either as he sat down.

This had to be a record. Just sat down and already a lady was throwing herself at him. Oh. Alright. “Can do. I’m John,” he replied, pulling away from the hug. With a grin he took the woman’s hand and squeezed it. “Yeah no wonder. Good thing I got you tied down, darling.”

He could do this, play the part of the soft husband. He’d been there, just that his ex-wife didn’t like that. Her loss really. As he leaned forward to flag down the barkeeper, he in turn whispered something else to her. “Which one? Want me to beat him up?” Of course he was joking. Carter would hang him if he got in a bar fight. Not that he couldn’t take anyone swinging at him.

     He was attractive at least, if he turned out to be worse she’d just leave. That was the logic in Aileen’s mind at least, when she shook her head at his question. ❝Don’t bother, he doesn’t matter. In a few minutes he’ll move along to someone else. They always do.❞ Aileen finished her first martini with a small sip and pointed at the empty glass as she sat it down. ❝One more, please.❞

     It was never just one more though, and at this rate she could hold her liquor with the best of them. If she had a vice it was probably alcohol, but that was the one substance that didn’t screw with her ability to teleport as long as she drank in moderation. ❝What brings you to a place like this? Looking for company or just a vice to pass the time?❞ Mostly she wanted to know if she was local, not that she hadn’t questioned plenty of them. Getting involved with one wasn’t on her list of things to do while she was in town for a job though.

Even Erik Lehnsherr needed a drink from time to time. To be someplace where he wouldn’t be noticed right away, where he could be alone but not lonely. As he sat down, the barkeeper moved toward him and told him, that the stunning redhead at the other end of the bar was paying for his drink. Alright. He ordered himself some whiskey, taking a big gulp of it right away. It burned its way down, warming his insides. Not that he wanted company, but he was curious. She didn’t seem familiar, why would she buy him a drink? Slowly he got up, taking his glass over to the woman, sitting down next to her. “Do I know you?”, he asked, body not quite turned towards her, but watching her intently. Things like these made him suspicious.

     Aileen smiled a little to herself when she spotted Erik stand out of the corner of her eye, and picked up her martini to take a sip in the hopes the maybe it might mask the emotion. She’d only done it out of respect, but secretly hoped he would come over and speak to her anyway.

     ❝No, I don’t think so.❞ She answered with the smallest shake of her head.  ❝My name is Aileen, people usually call me Ghost. I don’t run in your circles but you could call me a supporter.❞ She was aware of the kind of move she’d just made in pointing out that she recognized his face, but Aileen had never been the type to make waves. She only learned to fight because it hadn’t been a choice if she wanted to keep going down the road she chose. ❝I was just offering my respects where they’re due, normally I mean all the offense in the world but for once that it’s the case.❞

#A WOMAN

[procvre-blog]

If you didn’t notice just now, I’ve made a small change to my faceclaim. As much as I love Alaina there aren’t many resources for me to use as far as current projects go. So, I looked around and liked the feel of Katie McGrath. I’ll be changing my info and gathering icons but replies are going to get done here once I’m done.

After seeing masterlists reblogged dozens of times, I found that every time I clicked on one it hadn’t been updated in months. So, with that in mind, I decided to create my own with the promise to keep it as updated as possible. It can be hard to find partners in the indie community after all but, by clicking HERE, you’ll be redirected to a list of Marvel roleplayers in the community ranging from canons to OCs! I’ll check through the blogs every once in a while and anyone gone inactive for over a month without a hiatus note on their blog will be removed. So, how do you join?

FOR CANONS: In the tags, simply type “canon: character name” followed by “ooc: name/alias + age + pronouns”.

FOR OCS: In the tags, simply type “oc: character name” followed by “ooc: name/alias + age + pronouns”.

If you have a multi-muse blog then just make sure to tag each of the characters that you write on said blog that tie into this particular universe. And, yes, even if you simply just have a verse for your muse that’s in the Marvel universe then you can definitely still be put on the list. Just keep in mind that if your muse is a canon character from another tv show, movie, etc then put them down as an OC. Thank you!
