Who: Alex and Belle
What: planning to search for Nazi gold in Genosha
When: early afternoon
Where: their house
Rating: probably some mild language, possible sex, the usual, really.

It was nearly one pm before Belle woke up again. She'd spent the whole night partying with Zatana and the boys, and had finally worked out all of her pent up energy and excitement. It had taken an effort of will to get home, but she finally did, and had even made it to their bedroom, though she'd opted to fall in bed fully dressed, instead of bothering with undressing.

But now the birds were singing, and the children were playing, and it was time for Belle to get up and rescue her husband from their spawn.

Alex was bouncing around and driving the kids toward playtime, while fiddling with a new invention model, and eying something bubbling on the stove that was supposed to be breakfast. He was not sure if it was or not.

Some mornings were just long and unpredictable.

He was glad the kids were mostly unaffected by all they had gone through, and seemed to be happy as normal this morning.

He grinned fondly toward the bedroom, even as he watched them.

His wife was incredible, and he was lucky, and he was glad for the rest.

Belle padded out of the bedroom, after changing into a pair of pajamas, and was just in time to catch Angela as she chased her brother with a stick. Sighing, she removed the stick from the girl's hand, and soothed the inevitable tears. When the girl wouldn't be consoled, she shrugged and set her back down. At least she'd have to find a new weapon to torment her brother.

Marcus followed Belle to the kitchen, and got a kiss for his troubles. "Mornin', cher. How are you feeling?" Alex also got a kiss from his wife and his son, though the second was a bit sticky and drooly.

	He chuckled and wiped his face. "Good. Sleep and rest, and family cures all ills. How are you?" He set his project down and hugged her, then divested Marcus of a long towel suitable for thwapping his sister with. The boy grumbled, then ran into the front room, and Alex eyed them. "Hmmm. They are getting more creative." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She laughed, shaking her head. "I know. They get smarter everyday. It's incredible." Her arms wrapped around his waist, and she snuggled into him. "I'm alright. Wish I'd gotten home earlier. Missed you when I was out." At least for the hour or so after she'd had a couple drinks, but not so many that her short term memory was faulty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He snuggled her close, and kissed her. "I missed you, too. Have fun?" He grinned. "We should go out later, send the kids to the baby sitter and then go out together, maybe go dancing, or to a club." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yep! It was nice, not having to worry about loosing my cover, or contracting the bubonic plague, or anything like that. And I'd love to go out with you, my dear."

She kissed his neck softly, and stroked his back. "But there is one thing we should act one pretty soon, if not right this second. I know where the Nazis hid a good chunk of their stolen art and gold."

	He raised an eyebrow and reached for the phone. "We can send the kids to the babysitter and hire a plane... will we need any equipment?" He grinned as he dialed, ready to follow her lead as he set up babysitting for the day or three following. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Actually, I was thinking of doing it another way."

She sat at the table, pouring herself a cup of coffee. "We don't even, really, need to take it out of the country. What Genosha needs more than anything else, is money. If we were to come in, bringing out own money, we could easily bribe enough government leaders to give us the land that the things are hidden on. Once we do that, we cut a deal, where we promise to build a museum for the art, and give a hefty sum to the Genoshan government, if they'll let us start our own business."

She sipped her coffee. "Kinda miss being in charge of things. Even if I don't really want to run a business by myself."

	He raised an eyebrow. "You want to take over a country?" He blinked a bit. "Um, okay. When?" This was... startling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Nothing so large. I don't want to run it, I just want to help it. If that means taking advantage of a corrupt system to force it change that will ultimately help the citizens, then so be it."

She shrugged. "I'm mostly just interested in setting up a new version of the Sin, but instead of just being a pleasure house, I want to help the girls that grace it's halls and bedrooms. There wasn't a need back in Haurvatat, and until now, we didn't have the resources. I miss teaching, and not the kind that you do in a class room. I miss being a Guild leader, honestly. But I'm sure as hell not getting back in the old game."

	He chuckled. "Okay." He nodded slowly. "So... how do we do this, and when?" He pondered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She cracked her knuckles and pulled out a pad of paper.

"Easiest way is for one of us, probably you, to go to Genosha. Tell them our deal, but don't give them enough details that they could do anything with it. There are only a couple ways to get into the safehouse that contains all of the things they stole, and I'll probably have to see if Petit or Remy, possibly both, are willing to help. Telekinesis only gets us past the outer door, the inner door is going to be tough."

She sipped her coffee as she wrote. "I'll probably come along as a translator, unless we can find someone else. It generally doesn't look that great when a man goes before a high ranking official and speaks through his wife. Image is everything, especially in this game."

	He nodded. "I am sure I can find someone. A couple days of research will do the trick." He grinned. "Next?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She grinned in turn, getting up to poke at Alex's attempt at oatmeal. Deciding it would be edible with a little tweaking, she pulled it off the stove and began messing with it. "After that it's pretty simple. We'll negotiate the deal, probably wind up with a 30-70 split in their favor, but we can go down as low as 10% and still not need to dip into our own pockets for stage two."

She started chopping up fruit, eying the fridge speculatively. "We need to get rid of the cottage cheese. Kids stopped eating it. Anyway, step two is opening a resort. We hire most of the newly freed slaves, and teach them how to get by in life, since most were born into it. Which brings us to the real purpose of the resort. We're going to teach the girls, most of whom are already hookers, how to acts, dress, speak, and take care of themselves. Along the way, we'll teach them about sex, and everything they need to know to keep themselves safe and enjoy their work."

	He nodded, listening. "Okay." He grinned. "Noted." He bounced and listened. "Sounds like a lifetime carreer. I am proud of you, dear." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She laughed and shrugged. "I figure between the income you'll bring in from the inventions, and the proceeds from the resort, we won't have enough things to spend our money on that really matter. A box full of jewelry is nice, but knowing that you have an active hand in the lives of others? Making a real difference in the world? That's something worthwhile."

She shook her head, handing Alex his oatmeal. "Look what you did. I'm a hero now."

	"I am proud of you, dear." He set the oatmeal down and kissed her softly, and hugged her. "I can't wait. It sounds like a definitely interesting situation..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	petitmort 2008-05-28 04:19 am UTC (link)
	She hugged and kissed him back. "Bah. Be proud of yourself for putting up with me. And yeah, interesting is one word for it. Our first job is to tackle the school system, so our kids can get a good education when the time comes. Hard to believe they'll be two in October." She sighed wistfully. "Time flies, huh, ange?"

	He grinned at her. "You rock, dear love." He nodded. "Time flies with the woman I love." He winked at her. "And having an in with the top dogs of a nation means we can help form the moral and law compass of it as well." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yep. I think we might have a couple things to say about the general state of life. If we're bringing the money in, we'll effectively own the country, and there's nothing illegal about it."

She smiled cheerfully. "No big boom, no revolution, just a nice quiet transition of power. We don't even have to change figureheads. Now if that doesn't make us the smartest supervillains ever, I don't know what does."

	He nodded. "I could get used to that. Scary, but cool." He grinned. "Supervillains? Us? No wayyyyy." He made an innocent face at her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Not bad at all." Belle said, nodding in agreement. "It'll be the most peace that little piece of crap island's ever seen, in this universe or any other." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
