When Gwen’s door opened, Nate was startled for a moment. He knew the young woman was cute, of course, but she was stunningly beautiful as she stood there in a gown of mint green, wearing just a hint of make up, for she needed no more. He stepped inside and took her hand, placing a soft kiss to the back of it; he couldn’t believe that she was so insecure that she actually believed that she didn’t look good…the girl was a knockout.
With a wide smile, the tall, blond captain dropped to one knee while holding Gwen’s slender hand, “I came to find a sweet young girl and was pleasantly surprised to find an enchanting, stunningly beautiful young woman waiting for me. I will be the envy of the town tonight, Miss Gregory”. He held his free hand up towards her and a bit by bit a paper thin rose formed from the most delicate of ice crystals, “For you!”.
“Shall we go?”, he offered his arm and led her from the room. They quickly maneuvered through the hallways as much of the crew had already headed to town to begin their night of fun. “We’ll be taking one of the dingys down. Makes it quicker”, he informed Gwen, as they passed through the hangar doors.
Choosing a small, two-seat craft, Nate held the door for Gwen and then went around and climbed in the pilot’s seat, “We’ll leave the top up…wouldn’t want to muss our hair before the evening starts, eh?”, he smiled and winked at her.
As the small craft left the hangar bay and headed out over the brightly lit city, Nate informed Gwen, “We’ll be meeting with a mutant named Methuselah. He’s the buyer. His mutant power is immortality. No one really knows how old he is and he’s not telling. I’ve met him once and he looks about my age and he’s quite handsome. Don’t you go running off with him now!”, he teased. “I met him once when it was just Myself, Monkey and Vivvy. He’s eccentric, but very nice”, he gave Gwen a sideways glance, “If it doesn’t hurt you, I’d be interested in whatever you might pickup tonight”. Just over a majestic fountain the craft they were in began to descent, “Methuselah is staying at the Bellagio…he own a permanent room here. Oh, by the way, he changes his name every so often…this decade he is Justin Thyme”, Nate grinned and rolled his eyes, “You’d think and immortal would know better, right?”.
