Who: Rose Frost and Gar Logan
What: Surprise date night gone horribly awry!
Where: Chez Frost
Warnings: We'll keep you posted.

Gar was technically involved in a long distance relationship. It was pretty easy to do so. The fact that there was publicly available teleportation may have had something to do with that. Besides, if it became difficult to deal with, Gar would move to England, and that would be that.

After recovering from the Portkey, Gar grew a pair of wings and took to the air. The path to Die Frostenhausen was so easy to navigate that his brain practically disconnected as he flew, tapping into the strange zen that most people associate with long drives. Strangely, he never really felt that way during long drives himself. Gar was a bundle of conflicting animal instincts, and most of them had objections to being in enclosed spaces. It wasn't overpowering, but it was enough to keep him focused on the road.

He approached the house from the west, and Rose's curtain was open, which meant she was decent. Gar might have been less concerned with her privacy if they hadn't been dating; he once got an accidental full-frontal view of Flamebird when visiting her window which he'd apologized for through a very wide smile. But dating meant Rules, and Rules meant not ogling your girlfriend when she wasn't aware of it. He landed outside the window and knocked with his beak.

Rose was quite used to Gar's purring. He tended to do it often around her, especially when, in a cat-shape, he curled up on her chest and made himself at home. "Before college... did you even go to school?" Rose asked suddenly, realizing that she didn't really know. She was aware of the fact that Gar was a television actor at a young age and knew that that didn't usually lend itself to regular schooling. "Back in your world, I mean," she said, glancing up at him before turning her attention back to her homework.

She grudgingly admitted to herself that she probably wasn't going to get much more work done with him there. It took her three tries to read the newest question and have it sink in.

"Not a lot of it. I was home-schooled when I was a kid, since we lived in Africa and Oprah hadn't shown up yet. My folks died and I came over to the states. I did some studying with the Doom Patrol, but not a lot. Then when they died, I did the acting thing and had tutors. After Steve came back from being crazy, he put me in high school for a few months, but it didn't take. Then more tutors." Gar was one of the few superheroes to both lack a secret identity and try to pursue a normal life. It didn't always work.

"I took a few college classes in San Francisco before popping up in NYU. Gotta tell you, lucky I'm rich. Big money, NYU. And Tisch is just full of douchebags."

"So you fit right in, hm?" Rose didn't miss a beat. She smirked, met his eyes, and then looked back down at the page. "When you were there, what were you like in school?" She asked, not sure how she might picture a teenaged Gar. She could see him being wildly unpopular, awkward and gangly and desperately trying to find himself a girlfriend. She could just barely imagine him quieter and less sure, but that image was hard to hold.

"Like I am now, only moreso. I've never been much for normality." When he said that, the kitty became a bunny, and he twitched his nose. "I mean, I've been an actor (in a terribly underrated show), a Doom Patroller and a Titan basically since I've lived in America. Also, I'm green. I barely remember a time in my life where I wasn't green."

Gar thought about his high school days, stroking his whiskers thoughtfully. "I don't think I was too popular. I mean, it seems cool, having a superhero in your class, but then I have to run and go defeat Trigon the Terrible. Might say it disrupts class."

"I never even entertained the thought of you being cool," Rose said, a small smile curling her lips. She sighed quietly as she pushed her book aside and laid her head down on the table, resting the side of her face against her arm. "I'm tired of math," she said, as though that would somehow keep Gar from being smug about the attention she was now giving him. As if the fact that he'd shifted into a bunny, her favorite, hadn't influenced her into putting aside her work in the least.

Slowly, she pet Gar and was surprised, even after all this time, by how soft he was. Not for the first time, she considered buying herself a pet.

"I'll have you know that I am extremely cool. One." He held up one little paw. "I am a superhero, and an extraordinarily handsome one at that. Two." He held up his other front paw. "I am an actor, and an extraordinarily handsome one at that. Three." He paused, then lowered one ear so that he had only one standing up. "I'm dating you, which obviously means I'm super cool." The sarcasm was so heavy that it should have hit the floor when Gar spoke. "And four." He raised the other ear. "I'm extraordinarily handsome."

It occurred to him that if he were to start dancing right now, it would make an awesome YouTube video. Or at the very least, a good post on Cute Overload. "So since you're done with your math," he said, carefully avoiding the reason why she was done with math, "how about I take you away from all of this?"
