Sure, she was pretty certain that Flynn wanted to take their relationship to that level already but Bonnie wasn't ready yet. She had only slept with one other guy before and that had been her deceased husband. As much as she wanted to move forward, there were moments when it was difficult to do so. However at Harry's [i]never have I ever set something on fire[/i], Bonnie did take a swig of her drink. Sci-Tech could get crazy at times. Both Raynor and Novikova also took a drink, with Raynor hardly feeling the alcohol and Novikova enjoying the slight buzz several shots of vodka had provided her. 

	[color=f6989d]"Of course you've gone skinny dipping,"[/color] Bonnie chided, shaking her head slightly at Flynn with a smile. He was such a stereotype at times - especially with all of the things he ended up drinking to in this party game. She didn't take a drink, though Novikova did. She had gone skinny dipping once as a dare in college. Raynor drank as well, having unintentionally gone skinny dipping a few times in his youth when his cousin stole his clothes down at the waterfalls. 

	[color=d86615]"So I need to take you skinny dipping, then?"[/color] Raynor whispered in Sparky's ear. [color=d86615]"Could be fun, just you, me, and the water..."[/color] he teased her. [color=d86615]"I bet it'd be even more fun than when we did it in the conference room on the Bus."[/color] He smirked a little bit, remembering how angry Fury and the others had been when they found out about that. It was a bit of a point of pride for Raynor. 

	[color=add3ff]"Wow, so creative Flynn,"[/color] Novikova said, shaking her head as she took another shot. Her head was definitely beginning to feel a little mushy and she giggled slightly, unable to help herself. Bonnie had to take a drink as well, still feeling clear headed since she was taking relative small sips rather than full shots each time. She wanted to keep her wits about her at the party.

	Roman was still standing off by himself in the corner, just staring at everyone - it was a bit creepy.

	Bonnie did grin slightly at Oliver's obvious shock and confusion. [color=f6989d]"This group has been through quite a lot... Let's see. In one version of history, we stopped an evil robot from destroying the human race. And then just about a week ago, a bunch of the group also stopped the Scarlet Witch from making Magneto king of the world, more or less."[/color] She didn't remember either reality, though Bonnie had been told by Niah about her sacrifice in the Age of Ultron timeline. She couldn't help but wonder where she had been in the House of M reality, a world created to grant everyone's wildest wishes... One where mutants were supreme over humans. 

	[color=add3ff]"It's probably Belsnickel,"[/color] Novikova called out, seeing Oliver get up to talk to Tinley and having heard the same thumps. [color=add3ff]"Here to judge if you're impish or admirable..."[/color] she mused, before taking another shot of vodka and then breathing out heavily. It burned her throat a bit each time it went down, but it felt wonderful all the same. 

	Raynor turned his head quizzically at Novikova. [color=d86615]"I thought it was naughty or nice?"[/color] he asked, having only a rudimentary knowledge of Christmas traditions. Despite living on Earth for a while, it was easy for the alien to avoid learning certain aspects of culture if he wanted to. He finished his bottle of rum, having drained the entire thing, and he set it down with a slight sigh. He wished there were some proper Asgardian ale here, something that would actually give him a slight buzz but fate was not on his side. 

	But it seemed fate did have something else in mind. There was a loud [i]crash[/i] as a man in a red suit and a santa hat fell through the roof, two swords strapped to his back and bananas in his holsters where guns should have been. The comical figure winced at the pain in his knees from the superhero landing, but it was worth it. He looked so cool! [color=hotpink]"Ho, ho, ho!"[/color] Deadpool greeted with a wave. [color=hotpink]"Merry fucking Christmas, boys and girls! I'm sorry to interrupt this little fluff storyline you all have going on, but I think we have more interesting things we can do for the audience rather than wondering when Bonnie and Magneto Jr. over there are finally going to play hide the zucchini!"[/color]

	[color=d86615]"...Deadpool. Long time no see."[/color]
