279 // Beach potluck mingle //late afternoon >
[ A punishment doesn't always have to be a terrible thing and Aidan is actually pretty excited about this potluck — not counting a small break for baseball, he's spent most of the day setting up and with a little help from his friends, the beach is looking pretty great. There are tables set up for the food, legs buried deep in the sand for stability and plenty of blankets and beach towels to hang out on. Candles are shoved down into the sand, ready to be lit as the sun sets and he's already got a good fire going in the fire pit, ready for barbeque.

With the waves lapping at the sand, the breeze in the palm trees and the slowly sinking sun, it really couldn't be a more perfect time for a casual party at the beach. Come one, come all, mingle away! ]

	Ah. I spoke to Zatanna once. [And M'gann's body, when she and Artemis had switched, though he never caught her name. So, he's going to take a stab and say she's the one with the mind-reading powers.] So wait. What kind of team is this exactly? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He'd be right on with that stab of his.] It's a team... that helps people. [Vague yet entirely true.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He recalls the topic of heroes coming up in a previous conversation or two. He's already kind of drawn his own conclusions. (Granted, his ideas are leaning more toward the Hercules and Achilles type of heroes, because those are the kind they breed back home...)] So you're a bunch of do-gooders who use your powers for the good of mankind?

	[Not exactly the way Wally would have put it but he nods anyway.] Something like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Does your world not have a police force? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2014-07-28 02:59 am UTC (link)
	No, it does. But there are some things that are out of their league. [Like Vandal Savage. He'll never forget how that guy was tossing state troopers around like they were rag dolls.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-07-28 05:05 pm UTC (link)
	And ... those things are in your league? You're how old? [Though he got it. Totally. It's not like mortals could fight off monsters and Titans and spirits and things like that. No way. Most weren't even aware such things roamed around them.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He's frowning now.] I'm old enough. [He'll refrain from mentioning that the Justice League would prefer to handle the bigger stuff because that would get in the way of his indignation.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A small laugh for you.] Don't give me a non-answer! How old are you? Fifteen? Sixteen? Twelve? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2014-07-29 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	[Twelve? Really?] ...if you must know, I'm sixteen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-07-30 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	[Lots of serious nodding.] Ah. Definitely old enough then. Practically adult! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fastonhisfeet 2014-07-31 03:54 am UTC (link)
	[More frowning.] And how old are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-07-31 04:06 am UTC (link)
	Fourteen, I guess. [Shrug.] Though if we go by my birth certificate, like 80-something. [He laughs.] I don't have a birth certificate. I don't know when I was born. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sorry! This got lost in my inbox

[Wally's not quite sure what to make of that.]

So... you age really slowly?

[Like M'gann, who is technically in her 40's, but is really 16 for all intents and purposes. But she is a Martian, and as far as he knows, this guy is not.]

Does it have something to do with your powers? [Or is it possibly connected to the gods somehow? He did mention the Goddess Artemis earlier.]

	No problem! nico_di_angelo 2014-08-07 04:07 am UTC (link)
	No, no, nothing like that. [He waves a hand back and forth.] I got stuck in a magical casino when I was ten and skipped right through seven decades just like that. [He snaps his fingers.] You step in the 1940s, you step out, and it's... [He frowns and does some fingermath.] ...the 2010-somethings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[If this was several months ago, he would have scoffed at the idea of a magic casino. But after his experience with the Helmet of Fate and the Team getting a magician as a member, he's become more open minded about magic existing. Well, at least he's stopped questioning those who believes it exists.]

Oh. That was going to be my second guess. [Sure it was.] Did you at least do any gambling while you were there?

	[Nico humors him with an indulgent smile.] Some. Money was limitless, so there wasn't anything at stake. The slot machines got boring real fast. And no one really wanted to play with a ten year old. I could only wiggle in on games when people were too bored or drunk to give a shit. But there was an arcade. The games were constantly updated. (Reply to this) (Parent)
