One man's trash is another one's Saturday night.
WHO Gus Tilki & Jenny Meyers
WHERE Streets of Manhattan
WHEN Saturday, May 12th, evening
RATING PG-13
SUMMARY After a rain-checked Avengers viewing, Jenny and Gus find some fun in an unexpected place.
STATUS Complete

"Oh my god, and the scene, the first one, where Mark Ruffalo Hulked out? So cool!" There was nothing quite like a movie to really ramp Jenny up. Having grown up around film sets and trailers and studios, she appreciated the art form and its versatility. It could provoke so many different feelings. It could take you anywhere you wanted to go. Jenny loved the dialogue, she loved the camera work, she loved the sets, she loved the costumes. She loved ever piece and shred of work that went into making a film, and she always, always sat through the entire credits. She'd seen first hand how hard those people worked. They deserved to have someone read their name and give them recognition. And she loved that nowadays scenes were put on the end of the credits, like a goodbye kiss. The movies felt like home to Jenny, and she loved being able to share the experience.

She was glad, then, that Gus had been happy to reschedule their movie date. She'd given him a thorough look over when they met, but he did indeed look one hundred percent okay. She was still pretty sad that it was a brother of hers, somewhere in New York, that had caused the damage. It was the last thing she would have imagined; their mother was hardly a creature of violence! Then again, if this Jay had the problems Jenny did with moderation, perhaps he had just gone to far with something that had brought out the worst in him. That's what she had to believe.

"You know, I read that he did all the CGI motions for The Hulk animation," she continued, looking up at Gus, her enthusiasm bubbling over. "All the raging and smashing! That would be pretty wild!"

Gus loved the movie. So much eye-candy. So much quirky one liners. Joss Whedon is God. Or at least a demi-god of a really cool god. That is what he determined. Joss Whedon had divine blood to make something that was pretty much perfect. Of course, Jenny's enthusiasm through the movie just made it that much more enjoyable. This was the girl to go out partying with. Even with the curse going around, Jenny seemed to break through and make the evening fun.

While Brady had healed him, Gus did feel a small twinge in his ankle still. He hadn't run as hard as he did before. Still needed to heal all the way, even though it was downright frustrating. He loved to run. That was something he was great at. The only person who was better than him was probably an older brother or his father himself.

Despite the crappy weekend he had the week before, Gus was glad Jenny resheduled for him. It was an enjoyable evening and Gus didn't want it to end.

"Oh I know! And the Black Widow still kept on fighting. Oh man. I love Iron Man and all but Black Widow? She was so badass without special tools. Just for being resourceful..." Gus smiled brightly. "Yeah, I am not surprised. Joss Whedon is a genius and Mark Ruffalo is such an underrated actor. I hope he gets better known now. I love how unassuming he is in human form."

Jenny's energetic nod made her look something like a bobblehead, and her hands were close to flailing. "Yeah, you've got to love those characters that can kick ass all on their own. It makes it that much more exciting, because you can believe that there are people like that really out there." She pauses and laughs. "Well, but there are people with powers really out there too, so who knows how much of that movie was actually based on reality?" Despite having always known of her background, it still amazed Jenny to see the sorts of things her fellow demigods could pull off. There was probably a demigod somewhere that had every single one of the powers that the Avengers had. It was pretty insane to realize that was reality.

"So what do you think? The night is young. We could go grab a drink, or something to snack on?" While home was certainly more inviting now that Sal had moved in, Jenny still hated bringing social outings to an end. She was finally starting to get back into her groove, and it helped having someone like Gus to hang out with. He obviously enjoyed people as much as she did, so their meeting so far had been very energetic. Jenny was feeling very spirited and awake and was definitely not ready to call it a night.

"Oh, well, maybe not food," she belatedly added. "I keep forgetting how bad everything is tasting lately. Man, it certainly is a bummer. I hope that All-Father cheers up soon." She bit her lip as her thoughts went again to her roommate. She wasn't sure what Sal was planning just yet, but she hoped he wouldn't be put in danger. Maybe she could ask him about it when she got home. "Do you like bowling? Is there bowling around here?"

Gus could help but smile at Jenny. He thought he was energetic! In a way, he really wished he went to college with her. She would have been a blast at frat parties. He really wondered if her awesomeness would somehow be overwhelming in a state of the world that wasn't cursed by Dagda. Gus wondered if he'd die by party. Oh well, there could be worst ways to die.

"I know! It kind of sucks that the normals see what they want to see and not what is actually there..." Gus laughed a little. "Like me flying? People see that as me jumping and being helped by someone else to get to the level I'm at or I'm in a cherry picker. It is kind of annoying. I want people to see me and be all, 'It is Auguste Tilki! And he's flying!'" He paused for a moment, "You want to fly?" He said it so casually like, 'Let's go see the Avengers Movie'.

"We could go bowling too. I'm pretty good at it. And Bowling Alley food is horrible anyway so it works out for everyone!" Gus laughed. "Maybe I can fly you over to the closest. Or I can portal you. Or we can fly. I will let you choose your mode of transportation."

Jenny stopped dead in her tracks, her mouth agape. "You can fly?!" she gasped. "I don't care how long you've been hanging out with demigods, that still has to be one of the most amazing powers you could have." She extends her arms slightly, almost as though she were embracing the entire notion. "All I can do is make people listen to me for a few seconds. I mean, that's helpful at the DMV when you really need a new license made without being charged all kinds of silly fees for it, but if I could fly, I wouldn't even have to go to the DMV!"

She eyed Gus, looking for indications of wings. "So how does it work? Do you have to be wearing a cape? Or maybe you can only do it at night? All powers seem to have these weird little rules, right?" Her smile turns a little cheeky. "Are you sure you can fly with me weighing you down? I mean, I'm a pretty small girl, and you're a pretty big guy, but I did eat most of the popcorn and the whole box of Sour Patch Kids."

"And what's a portal?" Jenny's hands flew to her cheeks. "Sorry for the 20 questions, but god damn, you're very interesting!" She laughed, tilting her head slightly as she waited for Gus's many answers.

Gus beamed. Seriously, Jenny, you are really doing nothing for his ego. You are making it bigger. "Yeah, it is pretty awesome. However, in the air, I'm not as fast as I am on the ground. Last time I clocked myself, I clocked in at 35 miles per hour." Yes, you really did it now. "Do you really need to ask how I fly? My dad is Hermes!" He clicked his heels as a pair of wings sprouted from the heels of his sneakers.

"Oh you aren't fat. I can carry you with ease..." Gus sad as he flexed his muscle and plopped his elbow right next to Jenny. "See. You can feel if you like. They do need a massage now and again..." Yes, Gus loved to talk about Gus, especially when it seemed people were impressed with him. "So is your power to be absolutely charming and fun? Because that is what it seems..."

At the mention of a portal, Gus gave her a come hither smile, "Portals? Let me show you..." He reached out to grab her hand. Then, he led to her a coffee shop. After a moment, he tried to think of somewhere close by and came up with his answer. He opened the door to bring her through it and as they stepped through, they weren't in the coffee shop but a McDonalds.

Jenny playfully gave Gus's presented muscle a squeeze, nodding with a faux serious expression. "You're right, muscles do need massage to keep in the best working order. Too bad I'm a wedding planner and not a massage therapist!" she teased. "But it is part of my powers to be able to have a good time, and I pretty much always do!" There was no resistance as he took her hand, and, for once, few words coming from her mouth as Gus displayed his powers. From the theater, suddenly they were in a coffee shop. Then through the very same door they walked, and boom! It was not the movie theater, or even the street, but a McDonald's! Jenny shook her head in wonder.

"That is amazing! God, that must be so handy when you really need to get somewhere quick. That'd be so useful at weddings, when you have to be everywhere at once." The smell of greasy fries catches her attention, and she looks over towards the counter. "Actually, since we're here, I'm going to grab some fries. I know they're going to taste bad, but I'm really craving the salt." Sure, she just had a lot of popcorn, but as always with Jenny, once she starts indulging, it's hard to stop. She reaches for Gus's elbow. "Would you like some?" If she comes in contact with him, he might find that he does, although if he's strong he'll be able to resist. Jenny was unaware of this level of her powers, although she knew she could often persuade people to join her in whatever she was craving.

"I'm sure you give great amateur massages..." Gus teased and gave her an exaggerated wink. "Wedding Planner?" For a moment, Gus felt a tiny bit anxious and he didn't know why. Perhaps it was because he didn't want to think about something so... unfortunate. "I bet you're great at that..." he replies sincerely. "Do you plan divorces too?" he teased.

And there she goes about talking about weddings again. "It certainly makes commute a hell of a lot easier. And it is a great way to pick up chicks." he teases as he attempts to poke her in her side. She really got him going. Now he thinks he's hot stuff!

Now, she took his elbow and he let her with no problem. Hey, Gus was a touchy person. That is what happens when you are raised among a plethora of relatives who originate from a Mediterranean culture who enjoy hugging each other. "Sure, I could use some fries. And a Happy Meal Toy. Do they have Avengers toys?" Or did they stop that? Gus couldn't remember.

"One summer, my friends and I made it a quest to eat at every McDonalds in the city. So I have been to every single one. Usually, when I portal when I have to get out of some place quickly, I usually end up at a McDonalds.

Of course she talked about weddings; it was her job! She loved all the details and the expressions on people's faces and the way everything could come together to be this momentous, once-in-a-lifetime event. But there was no way that Jenny herself wanted a wedding, because, well... Her expression fell briefly when Gus mentioned divorces, and she quickly took her hand off his arm. The face of Eddie, her ex-husband, flashed through her mind, and a wave of guilt washed over her. But no, that was over. Eddie had left, and she no longer had to feel guilty.

So she pulled a quick recovery, letting out a squeak as Gus poked her. "I'm sure no girl's going to have time to say no to a guy who can take her right from the club to his bedroom!" she joked back, just letting the topic of divorce fall to the wayside. She laughed at his penchant to return to McDonald's automatically. "I bet they wish they could get all their customers to do that!"

She turned her smile on the attendant at the register. "Hi! Two large fries and two Happy Meal Toys, please! Different ones, if you can!"

Gus seemed a bit taken back when Jenny suddenly pulled away from him. He was about to give some classic New Yorker defensiveness, 'It was a joke!' However, then the situation changed again, faster before he could react. Admittedly the sudden change from letting him go then making a bedroom joke was a bit of a turn on. Gus felt like he kind of wanted to be led on wondering what her game was. It was probably innocent.

"Oh, so you want me to take you to my bed room?" He gave her a sly, winning smile that could be likened to Flynn Rider from Tangled. A co-worker made the likeness once.

"We can eat our crappy fries and play with our toys..." he chuckled as he did delight in her squeal so attempted to do so again after she ordered, hopefully when her guard was down.

Jenny laughed again, ending in another little squeak as Gus managed to poke her again. She folded her arms and shook her head, a smile still on her lips. "I'm a harder sell than that, mister," she replied, leaning against the counter as they waited for their order. "I may look sweet and innocent, but I know a lot more than you'd ever guess!" Her eyes glinted mischievously. It was nice to flirt and joke again, just for the fun of it, without feeling like she was trying to stopper a flood of grief and sadness. The wounds were still there, not quite scarred over, but not fresh enough to prevent her from enjoying this. "Besides, you promised me a flight, and I expect delivery on that!"

The attendant handed over a bag, and Jenny immediately reached in and pulled out a handful of golden fries. She popped one in her mouth and chewed, a content look taking over her features. "Oh, that's the stuff. Here," she passed the bag to Gus, "see what kind of toys we got!" She munched happily on fry after fry, not at all mindful of the greasiness of the snack. "Please tell me we got a Hulk. Or at least a Hawkeye; he was probably my very, very close second."

"Oh, Jenny, don't make an assertion like that without proof to back it up..." Gus said in something of a mock innocence. "Okay, fine, I will take you on a magic carpet ride after we eat some french fries and play with our toys."

When he took the bag from Jenny, he also took some fries and ate a couple. He wished they tasted more satisfying than this. But they didn't. Instead, he pulled out his first toy, "Captain America and..." he pulled out the next one. "Thor. It feels kind of odd holding Thor. I wonder what the actual Thor thinks and if he looks anything like this... Anyways! Which one do you want?"

Jenny giggled, glancing at the Thor in Gus's hand. "If he does, then I'm surprised I haven't met more of his demigods! The guy would have absolutely no trouble!" She paused thoughtfully, twirling a floppy fry. "I guess probably no god would really have any trouble though. I bet the whole divine aura thing would be a huge attractor, even if people didn't really understand what was drawing them in. Dad always described Mom as a magnet; he was always drawn to her as soon as she arrived, even if he was in the middle of a conversation or even trying to hook up with someone else!" She smiled warmly.

"But I'll take Captain America! His movie was better than Thor's." She held out one hand for the toy and popped a couple fries in her mouth with the other. "You know the great thing about McDonald's fries? I really don't notice that much of a difference in taste because they're pretty much always kind of crappy. As long as they're salty, it works!" She led the way towards the exit and onto the street. Casting her eyes around, she pointed to an alley diagonally across from them. "Should we take off from there? Then maybe we won't confuse passer by with imaginary cherry pickers."

Gus looked at the Thor figure with a chuckle before he stuffed it in his pocket which already had something else within it. Gus figured he'll discover what it is later on his daily pocket emptying. It was pretty sad that he had to think about it like that. He wouldn't show that to Jenny. No, she liked his confidence. He'll keep it there.

"Ah I see. I want to see Cappy singing the America, Fuck Yeah, song..." Gus said after laughing at the thought of it. "I have no idea what you're talking about... McDonalds is gourmet food. Completely..." He looked at the alley way and grinned. "Okay! Let's check it out!"

He grabbed her hand to pull her across the street, pretty much not realizing his own speed. Once there, he saw there was something else that could provide a booster to flying. A couch! Sure, it was a crappy couch. But it mostly was intact.

"ALLEY FURNITURE!" he exclaimed. "Do you need a couch?"

"Oh god, I bet Chris Evans would love that too," she exclaimed, tucking the figure into her purse. "But it's hard imagining the clean-cut Captain even uttering the world 'fuck.' It would be a really good spoo... whoooa!" Jenny was cut off as she suddenly found herself being dragged across the street towards the alley. Her short legs had no chance of keeping up, so most of her motion was propelled by Gus himself. When he stopped she looked up at him with wide eyes. "Jeez, you weren't kidding when you said you're fast! I didn't even register we were moving until we were here!'

But Gus's mind was already on other things, and Jenny followed his gaze to the couch in question. "Oh hey!" She walked over to it and looked it over, munching thoughtfully on another handful of fries. "Nope, I don't need one. That's a shame though. I wonder how springy it is." She pressed down on one of the cushions experimentally. She could feel the coils under her hand; no wonder someone got rid of it. Still... Jenny hopped up on the couch and bounced slightly. "Not bad!"

"Somehow, I find that kind of hot..." Gus said with a bit of a smirk. It did put an image in his head that he thought he would have to save for later. When Jenny exclaimed he was fast, Gus looked a little surprised. "I thought I was going a little slow! Ahhh... it is so weird sometimes." He did love his speed gift, but sometimes it did seem like people could not keep up.

As Jenny bounced on it, Gus did too, "Yes!" Then he tripped and stumbled back into the alleyway. Hey, he was fast, not necessarily graceful. Then he looked back. "I wonder if we should move it some place weird. When I was a teenager, my friends and I when we found alley furniture, he would move it someplace random, like in front of the library. There was one time we had to run from the cops. And since I'm so fast, my friends ended up getting caught and I didn't." He paused for a moment, "I felt bad for it but once I get running, it's like I get in the zone."

Jenny giggled when Gus stumbled. "Be careful! You've had enough falls to last for a while, okay?" She stepped off the couch herself and considered it. She had some pretty noodle-y arms, but the piece wasn't too huge. "Where would be good? Maybe we should put it in the movie theater! I always wished they had couches to cuddle up in. It's maybe the one downfall of theater versus home viewing. Or we could put it in the middle of an office! Or next to a hot dog stand."

She looked over at Gus curiously. "Can you carry stuff through your portals? That sure would open a lot of opportunities for... uh... furniture relocation." She grinned, then added in a scolding tone. "If you ditch me, I will have to sic the Captain on you!" She pulled her figurine out of her purse and thrust him imperiously towards Gus. "And not in a sexy way!" she added mischievously.

"Haha! The movie theatre! I can do that!" Gus tapped his chin as he let his grin fly. "Well, there is still a late showing of the Avengers so we have to get in and get out... but the rush is most of the fun." Gus didn't know if his portals would allow them to do so but hey, he could try. "Oh, this will be a good experiment. I hope I don't get spliced." He paused for a moment before adding, "Or you. I don't want you to get spliced either..."

He laughed as she threw the figure at him, "No! Not Cappy! I still could outrun him..." he picked it up and gave it back to her. "Okay, let's do this!" He slapped his hands together and touched the entrance to the alley way. The frame glowed for a brief moment before he reached for an end, "Okay, ready? Go!"

"I appreciate your concern," she joked. Her cheeks were starting to get sore from all the laughing, and that was saying something for the child of a deity dedicated to joy. She replaced the Captain safely back in his purse, then positioned herself at the end of the couch opposite from Gus.

She didn't have much time to think or respond before the portal was glowing and Gus was giving the word. She grabbed the bottom corners and heaved with all her might. She barely managed to get the sofa to the height of her thighs. It teetered a bit as her arms shook. "Man... I really... need... to do... some weights!" she panted. "Don't go... too fast... Short legs here!" She let Gus lead, concentrating on keeping the couch aloft.

The two portaled with the couch in what seemed like the narrow hallway leading into the movie theatre which they watched the Avengers. The walls vibrated with the sounds of the next showing of the movie. Gus had to catch his bearings for a moment because that was an awful lot to bring through the portal.

"Whoa..." Gus muttered. "This makes sneaking into the movie theatre a lot better!" He chuckled as he put the couch down.

"Oi..." then suddenly, he saw an usher with a flashlight. Gus reached for Jenny's hand.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!?!" the usher yelled and Gus pulled Jenny and himself through another portal to a corner store near Gus's house. He giggled madly.

"Oh, that was hilarious. I bet he was like, 'Where did they go?'" Gus laughed a little bit. "So where do you live? I can give you that carpet ride I promised!"
