18th April, 2009
Brendan had been called to New York for a reporting job, he didn't know why he couldn't get one of the outside sources to deal with it, but his boss had insisted Brendan go himself, so it meant he had to take at least a night away from Megan. After he had done his job and got the article into the newspaper offices in New York, he decided to relax before heading for bed in the hotel he had booked for the night before heading home the following day.
He hated being apart from Megan now, he loved her so much and was so used to being with her pretty much constantly apart from when they were at work, it seemed weird not to be around her, or in the same area as her. The only thing he could do to make himself feel better was to go out for a drink. He had called Megan earlier just to tell her how much he was missing her, and he'd be home as soon as he could the following day.
He walked up to the bar and sat on one of the stools, and ordered a beer. "Thanks" he said when he was given the beer and he got off the stool and headed over toward a booth and sat down leaning back on the chair and running his hand through his hair he sighed wishing he was back in Las Vegas with Megan, he missed her so much.

Slowly making her way to the local bar Rayne sighed. She missed Xavier which she didn't fully understand why. She did care for him and they both did enjoy doing evil and causing pain and suffering to people. So maybe it was because they had something in common and liked each others company. That and he was very good looking so maybe she did know why she liked him. She just didn't want to admit it to herself.
Making her way into the bar she looked around. It wasn't as busy as it usually was but she saw her vacant bar stool she she made her way over to the stool. Smiling to the bartender she got her long island ice tea." Thanks Joe you make the best drinks." Giving him a wink she took a gulp of her drink and let out a sigh of satisfaction. Looking around again she saw a man sitting in a booth that she didn't recognize slowly making her way over she stood by him." Never seen you in here before what brings you around these parts."

Since Brendan didn't actually live in Brooklyn anymore he hadn't expected anybody to talk to him when he went into the booth to enjoy his drink before retiring to the hotel room for the night. He hated being away from Megan, but sometimes his job called for it and he just had to do what he was told.
He looked up at the brunette who was standing by his booth, he gave her a tired and weak smile. "Ain't been in here fer a while, used to come in all the time when I lived here" he said, not sure why he was telling a complete stranger that, but still she had made conversation, Brendan was only doing the polite thing in answering her back.
He didn't know whether to tell her he was here for his job or not, or if he should keep that to himself seeing as he didn't know who she was. But he figured it wouldn't do any harm, he didn't have to say what he did, just say he was here for his job. He sighed, "Actually am here 'cause of work and I miss ma girlfriend" he said sadly, as he downed more of his beer. Figured his one drink before settling for the night, might turn into a few drinks he thought.

Smiling Rayne took the seat across from him. Not really caring if it offended him or not he could leave for all she cared. She already had a guy so her fishing for one now was out of the question. Taking a gulp of her drink she let out a sigh and closed her eyes. Her body stills ached from time to time since the attack. But even though she was in pain she would do it again in a heartbeat. It was too much fun to pass up.
" Oh well nice to know I am sitting with a fellow local then. I love this bar my home away from home in a sense." Even though she didn't live in new york she did love this bar and the people in it she was always able to cause sometime type of trouble in there and it always made it enjoyable. She liked the bartender he managed to make pretty good drinks.
Laughing when he missed his girlfriend she looked down. She missed Xavier as well but she wouldn't tell him that she would just laugh at his misfortune. And try to forget about hers." Ah I see. I am here to lay low and hopefully cause a little mayhem here and there.."

"Why don' ya join me?" Brendan said with a raised eyebrow as he noticed her sitting down opposite him anyway. Brendan wasn't usually sarcastic by any means but he wasn't in the best of moods right now and it just sort of came out like that without him even realising it.
"Yeah fellow local, 'cept am from Texas originally, moved here fer ma job, then moved to Las Vegas fer ma girl" he explained, again not sure why he was telling a complete stranger about his life. He was the one usually fishing around for information being the formidable journalist he was.
Brendan raised his eyebrow again when she said she was there to lay low and cause a little mayhem. "Ya like drawin' attention to yerself then?" he couldn't help but ask, "Wha' ya done tha' makes ya wanna lay low?" he asked, the journalist coming out in him and not even realising it. Thing was, if there was a perfectly good reason for her laying low, it could very well be news worthy, but right at this moment Brendan wasn't even thinking about news or the paper, all he was thinking about was getting back to Las Vegas to be with Megan again.

Laughing she let her arms drape behind her against the head of the booth." Thank you don't mind if I do." Rayne knew that she was being a bitch for no reason but she really didn't care all that much. True he being a bitch right wen she first met someone probably wasn't the wisest of ideas but that was what made in fun in a sense. " Oh well welcome back tot he city of new york then." She figured it wouldn't hurt to be at least somewhat civil with him.
Grinning when he asked about having attention drawn to herself. She knew in a few hours she would probably have more attention on her then she had dreamed of. That is if the president actually managed to find a picture of her. " Yes I do rather like attention it allows me to have more fun." Taking another sip of her drink she let out a soft sigh. " Well let's just say some people are to thrilled with having a baby ripped out of there body.People are so touchy these days I tell you."

Brendan just sort of grunted when the woman said 'don't mind if I do' to his telling her she was welcome to join him. Of course he had been sarcastic and it wasn't too difficult to tell she had been just as sarcastic back to him. Brendan didn't find it worthy of speech this time, hence the grunt. He sipped on his beer again, he really wished he could have gone home to Megan, but he had been up so late the night before that he had been truly exhausted by the time he had got the article into the paper all he had wanted to do was relax with a drink and then sleep.
"Cheers" Brendan said simply when she welcomed him back to the city of New York, only because he really couldn't think of anything else to say to that. Brendan probably wasn't in the best of moods to be talking to anybody, he should have said he did mind that she sat down next to him and made a quick get away, yet here he was still sitting there, drinking his beer and now chatting to this woman he was coming across as rather scary in Brendan's eyes.
"Righ' so attention allows ya to have more fun, but wha' happens if tha' attention finds ya in trouble rather than fun?" he felt he had to ask now intrigued to find out what made this woman tick for some reason. Not that he wanted to make her tick, oh no, Brendan had his fair share of all that rubbish with making people tick without realising it.
Brendan went to take another sip of his beer when the woman spoke again, and what she said made him shudder inside and choke on his drink. "Ya did wha'? Are ya damned crazy? Who the hell does tha' kinda thing? Don' tell me ya were the one who killed the President's unborn grandchild?" Brendan said with fear in his voice. If she was, he might have to back off from her somewhat, he certainly didn't want to be her next victim, well not in the manner of having a baby phased out, he wasn't a woman, but he certainly didn't want her phasing her hands anywhere near him.

Nodding her head when she was listening to him talk. Not really caring about what he was talking about. She was just having fun with the banter she was having with him." Well I guess that depends on what you mean by trouble. I happen to find trouble very exciting and well worth it." Raising her eyebrow and licking her lips while saying this.
She knew she was being overly flirty but she didn't really care at this moment she had her connection with Xavier and that was more then enough for her. She wass happy with having a connection with someone evil as her and Xavier was her match. Finishing off her drink she looked back at the bartender and nodded her head for another. Looking back at Brendan when she got her second drink.
Laughing and throwing her head back when he asked about the baby and the president daughter." No I am not crazy I just wanted to have some fun. And what if I was the one who killed that stupid grandchild. What would you do about it." Glaring at Brendan her arms slowly rising from her lap onto the table ready to move if need be.
