We can talk about something besides all this,\u201d and Summer waved a hand behind her at the detritus.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, it\u2019s Tony who knows this city best. But I think there\u2019s a nice little place just up ahead. Tea, hot chocolate, cider, coffee, you name it, they have it,\u201d he explained, regaining a sense of cheer. \u201cDoes that work?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThat suits me down to the ground. So tell me, Mr Rogers,\u201d Summer winked at him, \u201cWhat do you do when you\u2019re not saving the world from evil aliens, mad mutants, and crazy scientists? Girlfriend, day job, independently wealthy?\u201d She gave him a big smile to let him know she was teasing, and unlatched her armour to reveal a deep red undershirt.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cGirlfriend? Huh? Oh no\u2026 Dating isn\u2019t really my area. It never was, to tell you the truth.\u201d It was surprising how easy he opened up to Summer. \u201cDay job, not exactly, but I am considering assisting at one of those downtown art class things. Not sure if I\u2019d be much use however\u2026\u201d he added humbly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;You draw? But that&#8217;s awesome! You should definitely do that, then. Even if you aren&#8217;t good at it yet, the more you work on it, you&#8217;ll get better. Maybe I could see some of your work sometime?&#8221; Summer knew she was babbling, just a bit, but Steve was &#8230; well, he was basically everything she&#8217;d heard of him. Open-hearted, kind, interesting and interested.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lead on to that coffee shop, sir! Maybe I&#8217;ll show you how to flirt with the waitresses.&#8221; She tacked on a wink to the end of that, but truth to tell, she was starting to be more interested in flirting with Steve. How would he react?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>the-man-with-the-shield: iamthefirechild: the-man-with-the-shield: iamthefirechild: \u201cSomewhere away from here, I think.
