Aurora hadn't been out with people in awhile. Sure, she'd go out by herself, meet up with whomever she met up with (even if she didn't know who the hell they were), and have herself a grand old time. It was easy for her, being that person. Why she'd managed to stay stuffed down so long while boring, meticulous, irritatingly shut down Jeanne-Marie ran the show, Aurora had no idea. But she was out again, stretching her legs, and remembering exactly why it was so easy for her to lead.

It wasn't surprising to Aurora that when she went back to the X-Men, there was no overwhelming show of glad that she was back. Jeanne-Marie hadn't seemed to forge a relationship for crap, and Aurora was sort of glad to have a clean slate. There were those there that she already knew, but no one that Aurora wasn't fine to be around again. And there were many new faces to her. It was nice, it was like getting to start over with Alpha Flight again, but with a lot more people, and quite a few very powerful people.

New Years had come and gone, and apparently, leaving beer in the fridge was a one way street to no longer having beer in the fridge. Either way, Aurora wasn't too upset about it. Besides, she'd apparently struck up conversation enough to have company for the night. Aurora called a cab to meet her at the gate to the mansion earlier in the night. She didn't want the responsibility of a car. Besides, parking in Manhattan was a fiasco unto itself. She'd made plans with Shiro, and waited for him by the front door. When he finally showed up, Aurora smiled warmly. "Ready for a night out?"

Shiro nodded as he took a long drag of his cigarette. Oh how much he loved alcohol and tobacco. He was so busy relaxing, he didn't notice the fidgity fellow int he corner. If he was about to attack someone, he would notice it since he had been in many a bar fight. "What are your abilities?" he asked as he took a gulp of his drink. "I just can produce plasma and see things in heat signature. It's very cool." He didn't like it at first, though. It took close to a year for him to accept what he was. It was all those years he spent with his mutant hating uncle.

As she spoke about Jean-Paul being protective of her, Shiro suddenly looked very sheepish. He couldn't deny he wasn't protective of his sister. In fact, just a few days ago, he had an argument with her over this. Slowly, he turned towards Aurora, and gave her a grin, "Ano... brothers have to do that for their sisters. It is in the job description, yes?" He flicked his cigarette into the ashtray. "Brothers know what guys think and they do not want another guy thinking that way about their sister." He sounded slightly defensive over that comment. "Poor, polar bear and seal. Nature is... cruel sometimes, yes?" He tilted his head to the side, "Who were you looking for?" He felt that if he continued to ask her questions, she wouldn't ask about him so much.

"My abilities?" Aurora lifted a brow. "I have a few." She lifted her hand off her drink, counting off her fingers. "I can fly, I've got superspeed, I can create light in different forms including concussive blasts, I have a high metabolic rate, fast reflexes, and... I think that's it." She laughed, shaking her head. "I've lost track. Most of what I can do isn't something I focus on, it's just there. But the main ones are flight, the light show, and I'm a speedster." She tilted her head to the side slightly, a curious look on her face. "You can see in infrared? That's pretty cool. Do you turn it on and off, or is it an all the time thing?"

She couldn't help the smile that crossed her face as Shiro spoke about the role of a brother. "Of course it's in the job description. I understand that it's innate. I'm incredibly protective of JP too, but it's gets to be a pain in the ass sometimes." She grinned, a devious look on her face. "And women know full well what guys think about too. Don't let us fool you. We're not stupid." She nodded knowingly, then turned back to her drink, finishing off what was left in the glass and sliding it forward for the bartender to bring her another. "Cruel is a nice way to put it." She nodded slowly, then looked at him, shrugging. "No idea anymore. I was sent to look for a lot of people." She didn't really feel like delving into that part of her past, since it was during her time with Weapon X.

"So, your sister. You said she's louder than you. What else can you tell me about her?" Aurora felt the alcohol beginning to drift through her system, not enough to affect her movement or speech in the slightest, but enough to allow her to unwind a little bit. The bartender brought her another, and she reached out for it, her movement uncontrolled and a lot faster than it should've been for trying to maintain a normal facade. Aurora forced her arm to a stop, then pulled the drink to her slowly, smiling at Shiro.
