She was nervous. Sure, she was mentally linked with Alex, and if anything went wrong she was only across the street from where he was meeting with the Prime Minister, but a lot could happen in the time it would take her to cross the street.

She breathed a sigh of relief when he told her the meeting was out, and finally ordered a drink. It would all be alright. Thank goodness.

	"I just want things to go well. Mom taught me how to bargain, you taught me how to deal with idiots, and me, I just want things to go right, here." He hugged her a little and smiled. "It's going to get busy now. We've got a limited timeline before people start noticing what we are doing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yeah. You keep working the legal aspects. Get us a separated property to live on, it doesn't really matter what it is. I'm working on getting us legalization and permits and asking around at museums to see who'll want the paintings the most. Do we want to start our own museum, or just encourage the local ones? It's not like we're really gonna need the revenue for that, once we get the first hotel open for business."

She made a small noise and pulled out a piece of paper. "I found the perfect one, by the way. Talks are already underway to purchase it."

It was, in short, a fixer upper. No doubt it had been cheap, and it looked just shy of being condemned. "Public service number one is getting the damn place safe. Then I'll start staffing the place, once we're secure."

"Encouraging local ones is good. We want to make the local economy start beefing up, so this country can get more centralized and it's not seen as a bad place to come to."

He grinned and took the paper.

"I'll start queries about getting permits. Oh!"

He took out a small book and handed it to her.

"Here. The paperwork to start citizenship applications for all of us."

	She laughed a little bit and handed him a wallet. "I, uh, took the easy road for this one, cheri." He would find, if he inquired, that the data for their citizenship was in every relevant computer. Mother daughter bonding for the win! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alex laughed. "Cool." He took his ID, checked it out, then nodded. "Good. One worry out of the way. Hmmm, if you talk to her today, maybe you can ask her to track down who would need Vibranium the most, and who is paying the best for it. The better prices we get, the quicker we can start funneling money into our project." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'll go back to the hotel room and talk to the kids. Gotta check on the babies, anyway."

She started on her second drink, and eyed the papers. "My next step is to get the vaults uncovered, and see if- Oh!"

She laughed a little. "Wonder if the Magneto here would be willing to open the safes for me? He'd be able to do it and cause the least amount of damage." She thought for a minute. "I wonder how different he is from the one I met in Haurvatat?"

	He nodded. "Excellent." Then he chuckled at her words. "If you think it is a good idea, go for it. The forums might be a good place to go for research. Hard to tell. All these alternate worlds make this a little crazy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know. I might just see if Remy'll do it, honestly. At least I know what motivates him." In any universe he was likely to be greedy and easily swayed by a pretty woman. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hmmmm. That's your area of expertise. Whatever you think is right, let me know. Angela can probably get whoever it is into the country." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She nodded. "Yep." For a moment, she was silent. "We're insane. Just so you know." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He grinned at her and kissed her. "Maybe, but I love you, and this is fun." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	petitmort 2008-06-16 01:25 am UTC (link)
	She giggled. "Yep! We're not gonna get to see much of each other for a bit." That was a much more sobering thought. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Bah. I know where my nights will be." And he kissed her. And I know where my mind will be... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Late nights, with early mornings following." She sighed. I'll always be there with you, sweetie. I didn't miss this aspect of ruling the guild. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He smiled softly. "It's only for a little while. Until we have he staff we need, and things are in place for stage two." He held her. Whatever happens, we will be together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know. But I already hate it." She snuggled into his arms. "Kids'll hate it too. They're already cranky about not being at home." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	laststarfighter 2008-06-16 02:00 am UTC (link)
	He nodded. "I know. I hate it too... all we can do is weather the storm, and make it worthwhile." He hugged her tight. "Definitely going to be a rocky few weeks." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"But it'll be alright. We're strong, and we'll make it through. Look at how wonderful the kids turned out. Willful and intelligent, independent but not antisocial. . . seeing them, and knowing they grew up in the world we're going to create makes it less frightening."

And it was, honestly, frightening. After all, if they slipped up any moment, it could mean very bad things.

	"Damn straight." She said with a smile. "To Genosha, and our future here." She raised her final shot in a toast. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
