Academy of Heroes and Villains

Academy of Heroes and Villains

Anthony had glanced at Sue to see her answer and chuckles softly at the glare, "I apologize Sue, I should have known." He pulls into the driveway of his house, and after opening Sue's door, leads her into the house. He shows her the living room and signs, "I know you've been here before, in a way, but feel free to explore. I just need to gather a few things, then the night will begin. One question though, are you opposed to wine?"

I'm kind of disappointed that no one noticed that Anthony learned to use sign language fluently just so he could communicate with Sue better...

Anthony laughs and begins to speak out loud as he uses both hands to drive, "Alright then, you can just keep me company while I cook it. The car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray." He grins and says, "It's only quiet because I've been accelerating and decelerating smoothly. If I were to allow it to show its true power, the engine's roar would be anything but silent." After driving for about thirty minutes, the noise from the city fades away as Anthony's property comes into view. He asks, "Are you familiar with any tangos?"

Anthony nods with a smile, "About as quiet as you can get in New York." He enters the driver's seat and pulls away from the Academy. As he drives even farther away from the city than the Academy, he laughs and says, "Trust me, there'll be more than enough food. I've planned a three course Argentinian meal. I'll be the one making it, so would you perhaps be willing to help me?"

Anthony joins Sue in the elevator and replies, "I was thinking we could go dancing, then have dinner under the stars. Is there anything in particular that you either won't or can't eat?" Once the elevator reaches the bottom floor, Anthony leads Sue to his car, and opens the passenger door for her.

Anthony's eyes widen as his ears first adjust to the blaring music, then the near silence. "'O Sole Mio?' he asks, "I prefer La Donna Mobile, but to each their own." He smiles, then signs, "You look splendid Sue. Shall we be off?"

"What's the worst than can happen?" he asks with a grin, "Carpe diem and such." He kneels in front of the wires and fiddles with them before ripping four out and touching the ends of them together. With a whirring noise, soft lights fill the ship. Ben smiles broadly, "I just hotwired a spaceship! That's be useful if I'm ever being chased on the moon." He walks to the panel by the headrest, and while reaching to force it open, his hand brushes the front, and it opens up. "I guess it just need to be powered."

Lost and Forgotten

At midnight of the same night, thick, ominous clouds darken the evening sky. As the ocean waves become ever stronger, rocking the ship, they wake Anthony. He sits up unsteadily as he starts to feel nauseous. He heads for the bathroom of the room he and his relatives are in, but it's occupied. Unsure of what else to do, he races to the deck of the ship and throws up his dinner over the guard rail. He rests his head on the rail and waits for the nausea to pass.

Lost and Forgotten

I think I've waited long enough to continue.
