It was good to be back home. Despite opening a new Lux in National City, there was nothing quite like the original. That may be for many reasons. Perhaps it was because Chloe Decker was also in LA, perhaps it was that everything he loved was here. He smiled and walked into the night club and poured himself a drink. He was excited to see what new and exciting guests would wonder his way.
 
Lux club Los Angeles

Over in one corner, one of L.A.'s up and coming Actors was enjoying some time in the city's premier nightclub.

In this case he was dressed well with red tinted sunglasses.

Elsewhere, north of the main city.

Alexandra Kalomoira aka Huntress.

Lexi listened closely to Molly and the two men. Interesting and not unexpected that Molly needed her own special niche or place in the group. Best that she didn't admit to her own super strength just yet. Perhaps first trick was to keep Mike and Molly.... hmmn... something about that... teach them not to give things away to bad guys. Looks like flying lessons for our helicopter are coming Wynn's way. Wynn's expression when Mike exposed the Alien thing about himself, said things too. This wont be easy... but it's already been rewarding. Like having a family.

She proceeded to finish cooking the waffles and meats. She allowed and helped Molly with the eggs, making sure there were enough, allowing for a man's appetite, let alone a meta, or alien. When she gave cooking advice it was with a quiet assured tone to Molly so the boys couldn't hear, or if they could, it wasn't obvious.

"Winn, could you search out the various drinks in the fridge for me while we serve ? There is Milk, a couple of different juices. We'll need butter and syrup. Molly, let me finish the eggs, while you start putting waffles on a serving plate, you can find those over there. "

Lexi thought to herself how easy and natural this seemed to feel for her. It surprised her.

" Mike, I didn't forget you, please put plates and silverware on the table, plates are in that cabinet ( pointing ) and silverware in that drawer ( points again ). "

One of the things captured in her mind for later use, Winn spoke Kryptonian, this means he knows or knew Big Blue or his cousin Super girl and knows them well.

( as she was finishing cooking ) "Winn, the spirit of my cousin now inhabits the main computer of the estate. I am sure he'll like you. You can work things out with him about tech. He isn't not particularly a good hacker though, I can hold my own if I have to. You'll probably end up being the Helicopter pilot if you are willing to take lessons. I can pilot if I have to and either of us can drive. "

Lux club Los Angeles
Lucifer took a sip his wine once he entered his club and looked over to see if anyone knew what in the area. He immediately noticed the actor.

" You seem to be new in town. I'm Lucifer Morningstar," he said, approaching the man.

@Gands

" I am sure that I can do that," he replied, going into the fridge and pulling out milk, some juices and the butter and syrup out of the fridge. He was thankful that she hadn't asked Mike, they hadn't quite gotten to the complete food list of what things were called to him.

Mike walked over to the cabinet and took out some plates. He counted the number of people in the room and gathered the right amount of silverware which he took from the draw

" Huh? A ghost in a labtop, I can honestly say that I haven't encountered or even help the DEO deal with or work with anything quite as strange as that. I am more than willing to take pilot lessons. Actually, I have been playing a lot of helicopotor based games to practice in case I ever need to do something like that," he admitted to her.

She coulda been Rachel Ray. Or some other cooking person on the television. Because she is nailing it with these eggs. The way she handled them, only got a little on her hands, barely got any on the counter… it was a work of art. They all should be grateful to have her manning the kitchen! Sure Lexi helped her out with advice… but she didn’t really need it (Yes she did). After all, she’s watched Nico cook how many times in the morning. Nothing she can’t handle!

She’s about to start twirling the cooking eggs in the air, both hands gripping the pan’s handle in preparation to toss them up, when Lexi intercedes. Which is good for everyone, because they were going to go everywhere. “WAFFLES” she cries out once more as she (not so carefully) sets the egg pan on the stove. She scoops up the serving plate and starts to stack waffles on them… just picking them up with her hands of course. She moves to the table with the plate, seeming rather proud of herself. She sets it down kind of carefully, and she plucks the top waffle off of the stack. She starts to eat it, her big green eyes watching the adults finish prepping things.

Her mouth stuffed with waffle, her hand thrusts up when Winn mentions pilot lessons. “em moffa feshs!” She then finishes the waffle, her hand still in the air for a moment more “I can take pilotings lessons too! OH can I decorate our helicopter?! Does it have a name?! Can I name it!?”

Molly’s mind skips over the part about Lexi’s cousin being in the computer. That’s something… just not right and she doesn’t want to think about it. Someone almost convinced her ones that Gert’s spirit was trapped in a bowling ball, and she cried for days thinking about it. And then she punched out the guy who tricked her.

So, yeah. I'm here. Wherever "here" is anyway. It has to be better than where I was - locked up in a facility to "cure" me. Cure me of something I didn't want to be cured of. Now, a lot of shit has changed. Another Earth, way more supers and way less anti-mutant crap (though there's still plenty to go around, trust me.)
H36d2S8.jpg
Who am I? Well not that it matters much, but the name's Tamara Rae Holstead, or "T-Rae" for short. It has a double meaning, because see, my mutant abilities center around what I call my T-Ray Vision. I can see through nearly anything ( Trust me that shocked the hell out of me when it first started happening ), I'm what people would call "peak human" in physical condition, but my senses are on total overdrive. I can feel someone walking into a room, I can hear the porn you're playing on your iPhone with your earphones in your ears - Don't deny it. - I can smell... well let's not go there, just... men are pigs and don't always wash up after pissing.

Tonight, I was walking into this fancy place, Lux. I'd gotten the scratch I needed to get past the door playing Blackjack over in Commerce - I didn't win too much or they'd wonder if I was card counting. Truth be told I was just reading the cards while they were face down on the table, which took more practice than you might think even with X-Ray vision.

I figured I'd just go to the bar and grab a drink - I'd need to find a place for the night soon enough, but I'd squirreled away enough to get a decent hotel. I really need a job, but... I don't exist, technically, in this world. Thankfully my ID looks legit - It is where I'm from and as long as a cop doesn't call it in, it won't cause any problems.

Thing is, I had no idea where I would go to start... There's no office for people coming from other, crappier, versions of Earth. I'd need a fake identity, one that would fly. But how the hell am I gonna do that?

Simon Williams AKA Wonder man

Simon turned to face Lucifer, " I've been filming on location out of town, you the owner here ?"

Simon noticed the young woman walk into the bar. Something about her, her body language, like she didn't belong somehow.

"It's a nice place pal, it really is. Hercules told me you were a trustworthy guy too. My name is Simon Williams. ( sticks a hand out for a shake )

Well... Now this was a change. I caught sight of Simon Williams and almost bolted out of my seat. Right... not one of the Registered Hunters here. There wasn't such a thing - not publicly anyway. But it kept my heart racing for a moment while I asked the barkeep for a Cuba Libre, all the while watching by not really watching.

If rumors about Simon Williams were true and this Simon was enough like the one back home... he was just a ball of energy under that pretty, pretty face.

Mon-El and Winn Schott

Mon-El blinked twice and looked over at them once he had finished setting the table. He excused himself to go and use the bathroom and went to it. After only a few minutes, one might be able to hear a bit of panic from Mon-El and he carefully walked out of the bathroom( after washing his hands) and went over to Lexi. " How important is the seat to the toilet?" He innocently asked Lexi. It wasn't as if he had ripped off the toilet seat. He totally hadn't done that. That would be something he wouldn't care to admit if he did.

Winn meanwhile looked at Lexi for some assistance to addressing Molly. He didn't want to appear to be the bad guy, but he didn't think a twelve year old should pilot a plan.

Lucifer Morningstar

" Yup, Lux is my first club. Founded it a while back. I can honestly say I have never heard of you, but if Hercules trusts you, I am more than obliged too," he said to Simon, taking his hand and proceeding to shake it.

Lucifer looked back at the bar and decided to not comment on the girl watching them. He was curious to see where this was going.

No doubt about it, that guy was HOT. The one running the club, Simon looked less hot to me after I saw what the Simon from my world did to several mutants. It only ran once live on national TV but then his murder of several low powered mutants who refused to register went viral on social media, and then on the dark web once the social media providers pulled the video.

The memory of it still chills me, and I have to tear my eyes away and I realize I'm trembling. Calm down T-Rae, this Simon looks like a shallow Hollywood type. You can do this. Don't draw any attention to yourself.

Of course I didn't realize that being filled with ionic energy, Wonder Man might be able to sense the energy I kept inside me as well.

At least I stopped staring at them. That's a plus.

@Gands @LuckycoolHawk9
 
Lucifer took a breath and a sip of his drink. " So what picture are you working on?" He asked the man, running his hand through his hair. He took another swig as he waited for the answer to his question. It was a simple enough question and he expected it would come rather quickly. He took a deep breath and teleported himself from the other end of the room and back to Simon holding a full bottle of wine.

@Michale CS @Gands
 
I almost choked as dude 'bampfed' across the room and back, in the open. Back in my world that was asking for a sniper's bullet. But this wasn't my world, and this world seemed jam packed full of paranorms.

I looked very closely out of my peripheral at the blonde. Then, deeper. Holy shit... yeah that dude was NOT normal. My heart raced but I played it off and sipped at my drink again.

I was very curious but also a bit freaked out at the same time. I'd never seen such casual acceptance of ... abilities in my life.

This was going to take a while to get used to.

So, at the risk of being really rude, I walked up to owner dude, and cleared my throat.

"Uh, any chance you'd be hiring right now? I have a hard to explain past but I can totally devote my time to this place, I'm kind of here on... political asylum."

@Gands @LuckycoolHawk9
 
Lucifer had always been casual about his abilities. People always believed what they wanted to see. If they didn't believe the paranormal, they probably thought he was a stage magician of some sort.

Lucifer never bothered to correct them. There was no point in it. He couldn't convince anyone of anything that they didn't believe and he wasn't in this world to convince people of otherwise. He also sighed when he caught that his reflection was showing his hair to be a sandy blonde now, some of his other self was leaking out and he concentrated to conceal it.

He sipped on his drink and wondered if his teleportation had caught the attention of the woman who had been watching them.

He hoped so, but even if it didn't, it wasn't a waste to him.

Lucifer turned to her when she walked over to him and he took a breath. Still Sandy blond... well fuck.

" That would greatly depend on the position you are applying for. I got a bartender earlier in the week, but I can always use extra help. Would you believe that you are the second person in the week?"

Simon Williams aka Wonderman

He watched the girl walking up, she seemed nervous as hell. She had something about her, something off. He himself skipped forward about 20 years. He had friends who had been helping him catch up with changes in culture and technology for about a year or two now.

He handed out a pair of cards, one to each of them. "I just finished a cop buddy picture mister Morningstar. It should open in a few months, out of Warner Brothers. And Miss, this is my card, I'll put you in touch with my Agent. Couldn't hurt right ? " I should head home I suppose. Damned paparazzi don't need any excuses to bug me as it is. You two have a nice evening. "

With that, Simon wandered off, heading to his car.

@LuckycoolHawk9 @Michale CS
 
I stared at that card for a moment, then nodded numbly and tucked it away. Maybe he'd think I was starstruck.

Then, I looked over at Lucifer - "Waitress, Dishwasher... whatever you have I'll take, really. I've done it all." I lied. But, I picked up things quickly and my physical abilities made it so that I never did stupid stuff like drop dishes or whatever.

"I don't exactly have a resume because officially... I don't exist here. I'm sure you get what I'm implying..."

Alexandra K Aka The Huntress at Casa Kalomoira

Lexi was completely calm and easygoing while cooking. Comfortable and in her element. It was nothing at all to help Molly finish the eggs. Mike did well putting the plates out. Winn did just as well with the drinks.

Dinner was started, everyone was hungry apparently, especially Molly. The subject came up about the helicopter.

" Good Winn, that would be handy. Molly, you can put some decorations on the Helicopter and name it if you wish. But before you take piloting lessons, I'd like you to practice for me on the computer. Helicopters are very dangerous if they crash and people could be hurt !, you... could be hurt ! "

Some more dinner passed when Mike came back with that look. You know the one... the look that said I did something that I am embarrassed about.

"Mike, I'll tend to it. The bathroom hasn't been used for a while. Perhaps the spirit of my cousin was being mischievous." Her tone was warm and friendly, and could be interpreted as being said for Mike's sake.

As they were cleaning up, one of her phones rang, she spoke into it. There was trouble somewhere.

" Folks, there is some trouble at a club in the city. Thugs, terrorists... bad men with guns. It's bad enough that the local cops have actually asked for my help. None of you is indebted to me in the least. Frankly I already owe some of you the way I look at things. Molly, I'd like your help of course. What do you folks think ?"

Molly Hayes/Bruiser/Princess Powerful
Indeed Molly did seem hungry. And thirsty. The first waffle is gone… and then another. And then another. And then a couple of the eggs she so expertly helped prepare. She couldn’t seem to decide between milk or orange juice, so she had a glass of each. Just to be on the safe side. She seems to be in her own little world as she devours whatever is in front of her, eating the waffles with just her hands. Because who has time for forks?

She perks up when she hears her name, looking to Lexi with a waffle half hanging out of her mouth. She quickly devours that one, and the moment Lexi gives her permission to name the helicopter she declares “Windflower Pink Mare!” She nods to herself and looks towards Mike and Winn as she says softly “Nailed it.” Her attention moves back to Lexi as she gives the conditions for getting piloting lessons. She shrugs as she smiles widely. “I’m awesome at all games, even without cheating! I’ll dazzle ya on the compy first!” She says in a confident tone.

And as they finish dinner, they find Molly with her head laid down on the table. She has that ‘omg my tummy’ look on her face. Clearly, she overdid it with their dinner. Her eyes being bigger than her stomach, so it seems. But despite that, she still gnaws/sucks on the last of the waffles, even though she seems a little sick. She’s not going to let the waffles beat her!

She is of course completely oblivious to Mike’s dilemma regarding the bathroom… it’s possible she would have poked fun at him for it. In many ways, Mike and Molly seem to almost be on the same level. His ignorance of the ways of the world is based on the fact he’s from a different freaking planet. And Molly’s ignorance is based on the fact she’s a spoiled 12-year-old. The two of them learning about the world at large together will be an interesting dynamic of this small force.

Of course, little Molly doesn’t bother volunteering to help cleanup or anything. But she does seem to start to feel a little better. She even beat/ate that last waffle. Didn’t throw up once. Good for her! She kind of bounces up and down in her chair now as she looks around the house from her perspective, plotting how she can decorate this place to make it awesome. And maybe with less creepy statues. But that particular line of thought is interrupted when Lexi speaks to the group.



Her eyes go wide a little with the words ‘trouble’, ‘thugs’, ‘terrorists’ and ‘bad men with guns’. And when Lexi calls on her, she thrusts her fists into the air Wooo not picked last!” She leaps from her chair and goes into a sprint into the room she was sleeping in beforehand. She hums the theme to ‘Adventure Time’ as she plops down in front of the bed and pulls on her boots once more. She slips her big yellow gloves on, and then her awesome cape. Which is just a blue blanket that Gert gave her, tied around her neck. Molly hops to her feet and pats herself down, making sure she had everything. She then runs out of the room once more in her full ‘superhero costume’, securing her mask around her head.

“Bruiser ready for action!” She declares as she stands in her most superheroish pose, her fisted hands on her hips, looking up at all of them through softly glowing pink eyes.

Lucifer was quiet as the man left and handed the girl a card to contact him. He wasn't going to comment on it and instead looked over at her for a moment with a smile.

" I see. So, how well do you cook?" He asked, not believing her in the slightest. He was the Devil and he could catch a lie faster than most. But he also knew how to play along with the best of them. He smiled and waited for her answer.

" Ahh, a person who slipped her. I understand, I actually know of another one, nice kid, golden eyes. Came from another world too. I personally know where most of the others me, the ones who aren't already a part of me... be it on purpose or by accident." Lucifer heard his phone rung and ignored it for now.

" Which club is it?" He asked, not certain but having the strangest feeling he wasn't going to like the answer. He wasn't sure if it was Lux 2 and how much trouble he was going to get in. Lucifer had said it was fine for him to leave, but he didn't want to say anything. He looked over at Winn.

"
I haven't exactly finished the suit. It will be a complete test run.... and I really don't think it would be a good idea to test run it today."

Mon-El frowned and put on his red sunglasses. He guessed he could use the boring suit.

Huntress leads her new team to the upper most floor. There is one room where there is a Helicopter garage, complete with Helicopter.

"The nightclub is called Rick's. Robert, call up all information on Rick's in National city and send it to all of the phones in the Helicopter please. "

"Alright Lexi, no problem, it will be just a moment.
"

" it will be about a 20 minute flight folks. Winn, you man the cpu here in the Helicopter. Mike, you and Molly are a team please. That means look out after each other right ? Think the two of you can handle it ?

Each seat has a 10 inch screen which soon comes up with a floorplan of the nightclub.
