Chase stuck close to the wall, his own eyes narrowed. Now that distrust had crept into his system, he was letting it manifest, sending a clear message. If he wanted he could force it back and pretend to be a trusting chump, but he wanted her to know that he was watching her... and enjoying it, if he had to add that. "Got anything to eat in this joint?"

"No we only eat rocks," Magzie said opening a door at the top of the stairs to reveal a little clearing with a small, comfortable cottage sitting in the middle of it. Magzie and Eliza walked to the house and opened the door, Eliza scampered inside but Magzie waited for Chase.

Chase followed slowly, his wiry body moving smoothly across the ground as he prepared for action. His stance gave the impression that he could be infinently patient, while also saying that he could strike at any time. He learned the stance because it was threatoning; he did not have much to back it up with. Comforting himself with the thought that if they wanted him dead, they could have achieved it long ago, he walked in the door, allowing Magzie to come in after him.

"Cool down Cowboy if we wanted to attack you we could have done it when we were walking in the streets," Magzie said rolling her eyes at Chase's body language that reminded her of Icabod Crane. She turned on the light exposing a nicely furnished room with everything two people would need, "Welcome to the supposive Haunted Hollow House," Magzie smiled at Eliza came running out of nowhere with a sheet on her head.

"I know that," Chase replied to her first statement. "That's why I'm actually coming into your house instead of trying to climb the slide," he said with a grin. Looking around at the room, he noticed that it was cozy and looked comfortable, like the home he had dreamed of when he was a kid. He smiled in spite of himself when the little girl started running around like a crazed ghost. "Why do you even live in New York City if you have to go to all these lengths just to stay safe?"

"That is a mystery that only I know, and I don't tend on telling the answer," Magzie said taking the sheet off Eliza's head. Magzie then headed into the kitchen that had the similiar design to the living room. There Magzie drew a pizza out of the freezer and threw it into the oven, "Pizza's only thing she'll eat."

"That don' sound too healthy," Chase said, crouching down to watch the pizza cook. So far, they didn't trust him and he didn't trust them. It was shaping up into an interesting day. And they were both mutants. You had to watch out for mutants, not only were they tricky, but they could be deadly. Chase was at a loss for words. The only ones that sprang to his mind were either questions about where in heck they were or ones that had to do with Magzie, and probably shouldn't be said around Eliza.

"She's a healer, she'll somehow survive it," Magzie shrugged as Eliza went scampering upstairs to clean up for dinner, "Well, well, look at that we're all alone now," she smiled.

"I could make good use of this time," Chase said with a slow smile, his eyes burning. Standing up, he was taller than her, although he could not tell if she was younger or older... like it mattered. Reaching out, slightly hesitant because he did not know who she was, her put a finger under her chin to draw her face closer to his own.

"Sorry but no enjoyment for people who don't trust me," Magzie said taking a step back and smirking at Chase, before she took the step back towards Chase and gently kissed him.

"I have to wonder if anyone would qualify for that," Chase said, moving with her. "I don't trust anybody, it's New York." He grasped her wrists, trying to gently pin her against the wall, knowing that he was stronger if less experienced in fighting... in other things, he had had experience.

Magzie merely smiled and with a quick turn with her body, her arms were clasped around Chase's wrists and he was pinned against the wall and her, "You need to learn a few more moves before you try anything like that," she said into his ear, litle her lips touch his ear only slightly.

"I fight with knives and guns, not with women," Chase responded, his voice soft. He was stronger, she was more agile and infinently more trained. At one point he just wanted to kiss her, at another he enjoyed this game.
((Bleh... I don't like writing this stuff... Can we have them do something or at least get it over with?))

((Tru dat, why do you think there's a little kid running around))
"Are you guys wrestling?" Eliza asked wearing a clean shirt and having a teddy bear in her hand, "Cause I wanna join."
Magzie flushed a little and took a step back, "No, Eliza, Chase was being naughty so I had to put him in his place," she said picking up Eliza and putting her in a chair.

Chase's heart pounded even more at getting caught, but he merely smiled, no sign of emberassment about him. It was doubtful if he still had that function. "Pizza's ready," he declared, crouching down to the oven to pull out the pizza, the cheese slightly brown. Setting it carefully on the table, he flipped a knife from the drainer and cut, flipping it back to the sink again. Taking a peice of pizza, he didn't even bother with a plate, just held it in his hand, the cheese streaming back to his mouth. "Thanks for the pizza, Miz M," he said with a grin.
((No, he doesn't know her codename, it just seems a logical progression from her own name... Like calling one person we know Miz Mandy B or something of the like))

As Magzie was about to take a bite of pizza her beeper went off and she sighed, "Listen I have to go to work," she said getting up suddenly from the table, "Do you mind taking care of Eliza while I'm gone?" she asked as she headed for the door.

Chase gave her a pained look, but said, "Yeah, I guess. After all, you guys saved my butt twice now." He looked over at Eliza akwardly, and scratched his head, wondering what on earth someone does with child. All the children he knew had to take care of themselves.

"She always leaves around this time," Eliza pouted before she dug into her pizza again.
Meanwhile as Magzie walked out the door her body began to morph, she turned into a tiny blond woman with an angelic face. She came to the slide and stepped a few paces to the left and an elevator appeared she got in and was on her way to the city.

"Well kid, that's what people do when they have real jobs. They go out, work, earn money, and buy pizza with it," Chase said, motioning to her slice. Looking around the kitchen, he asked, "Is there anything to do here? Do you like have school or something?"

"Nope, Magzie says that it would be tah easy tah track her anh me if Ih went tah school," Eliza said, "But she's taught me numbah anh lettahs, and all tha stuff they covah on the shows!"
Magzie hit the city, quickly looked at the picture in her purse before crumbling it and throwing into the grating that led to the sewers. She head to a nearby strip joint and went in the back door.
"Bout time you got here, Sherry's called in sick so you're all the ending act we got," the bouncer said as she passed through the door.
"Yeah, yeah keep your clothes on I got it," Magzie said heading for the dressing room, and changing her shape into a less clothened one.
