Slipping the black bowtie around his neck, Nate tied it effortlessly as he glanced in the mirror and then back over his shoulder to Pavla in the bed, “I’m having Rosemary come sit with you. She’s very sweet and has some practice at nursing”, he pulled the bow tight, straightened his jacket and used a bit of gel to tame his thick, spiky, blond hair.

Walking over to sit on the side of the bed, he kissed the diminutive Romanian’s forehead, “Still feverish, poor baby. I’d have you in sickbay, but seems as if Doc Jordan has already flown the coop”, he brushed Pavla’s silky black hair from his face, “…I’m sure the Doc is out performing some unspeakable act even now”, he stroked the boy’s cheek, “I’m sorry I have to go, baby, but I’ll not stay away any longer than I need to, okay? I have to sell this diamond while I can”, he held the rare stone up and the light caught it’s many surfaces, casting beams of color on both of them, There aren’t many can afford such an item, eh?”.

Just then, a knock came and the captain called for the person to enter. It was Rosemary, the telepath. Though she was somewhere in her 40s, Nate considered her quite a beautiful woman and also ‘a good catch’…more than once she had fueled a fantasy on his ‘alone nights’. “Rosemary! Thank you for coming on such short notice”, he greeted.

“You’re more than welcome”, the attractive, plainly dressed woman returned, “I had no plans, really, and sitting with Pavla would be my pleasure”. You could tell she truly meant what she said. Rosemary was a disarming woman.

Clearing his throat, The captain bent to give Pavla one more kiss to the cheek and then say, “I won’t be any longer than I need to, Rosemary. I owe you one”. Then he was out the door and heading for Gwen’s quarters.

As he walked through the corridors of the ship, people passed dancing and laughing and talking about how much money they were going to win…everyone seemed to be in a party mood. Good, he thought, they deserve it!. Nate was never happier than when he saw ‘his people’ happy. Suddenly, there was a bounce in his step and a smile on his face. Maybe they would be in Vegas for a few days, eh? Stopping in front of Gwen’s door, he knocked and patiently waited, remembering the last time he was there.

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?”.
