"Good point." He blushes briefly, glancing back up to the roof and streaching. "Okay so it might take a little bit more than a letter. I doubt Pyro could resist any one of you lovely ladies." Again came that grin, smothering laugher.

As Miranda glanced towards Nicolas and Kenny's end of the table, she found herself hesitating for a moment as she bit her lip. Something deep down was bothering her about the plan; unfortunately, she was unsure what it was. She thought hard for several seconds as she tried to figure out what was causing her unease, but then when no answers came into focus she gave Alchemist a weak smile. "So, Nicolas, what time should I meet him at?" She then quickly glanced over to Wi-fi, "Kenny, are you able to locate Pyro?"
 


"Yeah," she tilted her head down for a moment, a move which reflected her unease. "Astrid, I know you don't want to get involved, but could you join me when I go talk to him, that is assuming that he's not in a class right now. That way, no matter what decision I make, I would have someone who is impartial with me who could easily tell me if I made the wrong choice or not." She smiled and began to blush. "Also, this is... um... the first time I ever asked a guy out, and I'm afraid that it may come out a little scripted."
 

"If I had to pick a time, sometime late. Less people around, easier to catch him unguarded and all that." He paused, head tilting as he too examined her. "Well, like Astrid said... If you're uncomfortable with it I'd rather just leave Pyro alone."

He smiled sweetly then, trying to bring his own brand of upbeat humor to the situation after she murmured her more important worry. "Well that simple enough to fix, Just have to repeat after me. 'Alchemist, would you like to go somewhere... sometime for coffee or a movie or something?' With that said the second time should be a piece of cake no?"

"Also, this is... um... the first time I ever asked a guy out, and I'm afraid that it may come out a little scripted."
"You could.. uh.. Practice on me, if you wanted?" Derek grinned, blushing slightly, and glancing at Nicolas as they both offered their.. services.

Gwen webs up the Blob then heads for Sabretooth, shooting a line of webbing out the door and swinging herself over the cop cars.
Temper rips her shirt up to make bandages for the girl inside the vault. Noticing a deep burn along her side, she bandages it, stabilizing the woman though she doesn't awaken.

Quarterback dodges back and forth through the cop cars, making it up to where Colossus is facing the beast, while Lightspeed flies overhead, attempting to use her speed and density to plow right into Sabretooth, though he sees her coming and sidesteps at the last second, lightspeed ending up several feet behind him.
The large metal Colossus is currently holding a gash in his side as the apparently unwounded Sabretooth comes in for another round. His claws scratch off the hard metal this time though, unable to penetrate.

Her eyes went big. Her heart pounded loudly. Her face turned red. THEN her body became invisible. Even if it was jest, she never had two guys ask her out at the same time. She glanced at Astrid as she began to solidify. Is she getting jealous of the attention?

Miranda smiled and glanced over towards the boys and gave them a sultry look,
"Astrid, would you like to go out sometimes for a movie or something." She giggled, and before Astrid could respond she playfully added. "That way the boys don't have to fight over us, they could just watch."

Her seductive look broke down into an embarrassed smile as she she quickly glanced away, not wanting to see what sort of impression she left on Astrid's face. She then covered her face to hide her burning cheeks before she began to laugh as she began to imagine the sort of scene that must have been playing in the minds of everyone who overheard the conversation.

Jokingly she began to utter Alchemist's mantra, 'calm blue sea.'

"Puh...huh?" Astrid sputtered, taken totally off guard. She'd been looking off to one side, trying hard not to scowl. Startled and embarrassed, all she could do was open and close her mouth for a second, then finally burst into laughter and smack Miranda's shoulder.

"I should say yes just to teach you a lesson," she jokes, "but the peanut gallery would like it too much. Besides..." Astrid flutters her lashes. "I'm afraid I'm just not Pyro enough for you. So go get him, girl. Just don't get burned." She grins.
