Heroically Hanging Out

[different_kind_of_green]

"Really guys? So close to the Brownstone too?"

Alex Rice-Matthews, otherwise known as the Green Lantern, stands at the mouth of an alley way in full uniform. He's got that brilliant green aura around him and is smirking at a pair of young thugs wielding bats. They had been threatening a man for his wallet and cellphone until the hero arrived. Now they're debating what to do.

"We can take him! That's the lame lantern that can't do anything against wood!" one of the thugs tries to assure the other, shaking his bat a bit. Alex just sighs.

"Two things. Don't need my powers to kick your butts...and well..." he gestures upwards, waiting to see the surprised looks on the criminals' faces.

Alex is quiet a moment before grinning. "Well, how about this?" he gets that look that usually means trouble. "I will help you get used to handling positive attention much better."

"Well...I-I...umm...Iguessthatwouldbenice," Will says from behind the sandwich. There is a slight pink tinge to his cheeks now.

And Alex's grin just grows at that. "Great! Then this weekend," he smirks, giving a quick theatric point at Will. "We hit the club."

"A...club?" Will said, his voice trembling a bit at the thought. So many people around him, pushing him about and with the really loud music and the like?

That terrifies Will.

"Please not that? I don't want to go there."

Catching onto the fear, Alex reached over to place a reassuring hand on Will.

"Relax, I'm not talking about any of the places my dads would kill me if they knew I was going. There's a place for guys our age. It's got good music and some decent food. And I'll be with you the whole time."
