[Marco's gaze was taken as the interest of a red blooded male, and indeed encouraged given that Gemini had decided to present herself in only a bikini so as to make him more susceptible to her charms. Under the facade of humanity though and obvious to his senses her true self lurks. While she makes a show of inhaling and exhaling, there's no heartbeat in her chest, none of the usual sounds or smells that a human body produces as a matter of course.]
How clever. [She laughed, lifting her glass to clink against his.] I imagine that you're aware of what a partnership with the Brotherhood entails? [Even groups dedicated to evil had rules, they simply differed from what society deemed to be acceptable.]
I'd hate it if you had a disagreement with the Brain, that would reflect poorly on me, I trust that won't happen? [She laid cool fingers against his hand and flexed just slightly, giving the human a hint of her full inhuman strength.]
[ J'onn was fortunate in that his species learnt to see beyond physical appearance. Ironically, her relaxed amorphous form would likely get more of a reaction- turning into a fluid, swirling mass is precisely how Martian's mate. He was sure that few humans could keep their wits quite so sharp as he in the face of Gemini's well designed shape. He had to admire it artistically, however. With her talents, she could have been a popular shapesmith on Mars. On Earth? Who knows what she could have been. Better to remember what she is. ]
Err.
[ That sound is to signal a short reaction to the touch of her strength, eyes dipping down to her fingers and back up. Marco is a normal human, even if one of incredible skill. Of course he should be concerned, until he has time to remember how great his ego is. ]
So long as the payment is prompt, what's to disagree about?
[ He leaves the hand she's touching in place, taking a drink with a playful raised eyebrow. ]
Eep so sorry, I'd marked this as read and thought I'd replied! :(
[There's a predatory glint to Gemini's smile before she glances away, surveying the expanse of sky and sand for a moment, before taking another sip and humming, pleased by the quality of the vintage.]
This truly is excellent champagne, you'll have to tell me where you got it.
[She rolls over onto her side, her hand still against his, meeting his playful eyebrow with a deliberately flirty smile as she continues in a casual tone.]
Some people might be reluctant to deal with the Brotherhood, given our reputation as so-called terrorists. Tell me Mr Xavier, what is it you want from this partnership? Money, power, something else?
no subject
