lucetilogs | Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

Who: Wanda Maxiomff, Kate Bishop, + Anyone who wants to show up
What: Club HQ's grand opening
When: January 31st
Where: HQ (Across the road from house 14)
Summary: Kate and Wanda finally unveil their Nightclub.
Rating: PG to PG-13.

[After a lot of preparation, opening night for Luceti's newest club is finally here. The music is loud and insistent, the kind where you have to shout a bit to be heard above the noise. Flashing, moving lights above reveal the purple decor, mostly devoid of chairs, and plenty of room to dance. A well stocked bar should be able to provide liquid courage to anyone too nervous to shake there groove-thang sober, while a patio out back affords a space for anyone wanting to have more intimate (or just quieter) interactions. ~~There's also a coat room, for anyone looking for a warmer spot for intimate interactions.~~

The doors open at seven, and will stay open until two am-- plenty of time to drink, dance, talk and generally have a good time. When the DJs aren't spinning, a house mix is put on, so there's never a quiet moment.]

[Later on, Kurt's had a few drinks and manages to stumble across Billy, while looking exceptionally worried. Well, an alochol-induced worry.]

Billy! Oh man, oh man...

[That... is not the sort of expression he'd expect to see at a club dance, and it's immediately pinging his concern.]

Kurt? What's wrong, what happened?

[He looks at him and shakes his head.]

This bad. Really bad. Billy, I'm really going to...? No, no way, man!

[Billy quirks a brow. Sniffs the air between them, curiously.

....]

Kurt, how much have you had?

Um... I don't know, does it matter! [Kurt tugs at his own hair anxiously.]

There's something I have to ask you!

[It kind of matters, but okay. This could be either horrible or really entertaining.]

Uh. Ask away, then?

Okay, okay. It's about my future... and I'm going to need you to be straight with me. No matter what. [He raises a finger as if making a point, and leaves it dangling in the air.]

[Oh geez. Already he's more uncomfortable than ever.]

H... hey, I have a rule about that kind of thing. I'm not making any promises.

Come on, this is serious! I need a straight answer.

Billy... [He looks into his eye seriously.] Am I...? Am I going to...?

[He pauses for a moment before finally voicing his newfound concern.]

Am I your dad?

[..........

WOW THAT IS NOT WHAT HE'D EXPECTED AT ALL

Billy is immediately really glad he hadn't been drinking anything, because otherwise Kurt would have very wet fur right now.]

Oh my god! Who gave you that idea!?

What didn't give me that idea? [He raises fingers as he counts points.] Wanda's your mom, you're a lot like me, Wanda and I know each other, I already like her, it all adds up!

We're not- [-That alike, he'd have liked to say. Because yes, they get along, they're friends, but there are key differences in personality and appearance that- wait.

....

"I already like her."]

Oh my god, you have a crush on my mom?

[....

"Wanda's your mom."]

Oh my god, you know she's my mom!?

It's not a crush, it's- [He shakes his head while looking very flustered.] I don't know!

And... of course I know! She told me.

[There are two conversations going on here and Billy wants no part in either one of them. He stares at Kurt for a long moment with a vaguely deer-in-headlights expression before finally opting to go with the lesser of two uncomfortables.]

She... oh god, I didn't know she was telling people.

Is she not supposed to? She didn't seem to think it was supposed to be a secret anymore...

...Well... okay, I guess we were just keeping it a secret from her... but still. I'm surprised she told you.

[He shifts awkwardly.]

I mean- I was with the X-Men, and being related to Wanda meant there was this whole Magneto thing, too, and... it just seemed smarter to keep quiet about it, you know?

Wait a second.

[He sounds very 'drunken realization-y.]

That means you're related to Magneto, too?!

Well... obviously, yeah. Being related to Wanda means I don't have a choice there.

Whoa. [He looks mindblown.]

So, does he... like, you know... grandpa things for you?

Actually? I've never met him. Not yet, anyway. Tommy says that we eventually go on some world tour with him to try and find our mom, but that hasn't happened for me yet.

Really? That's - that's gotta be fun. [He squints.] I think?

He hasn't told me yet. I'm assuming that, as per the Young Avengers norm, it's hit and miss.

I don't think we have the best track record either.

[And then abruptly.]

So I'm definitely not your dad.

You are definitely not my dad.

[He should probably be grateful for that- apparently blue runs strong in the family.

Granted, a robot and the lord of Hell aren't exactly grand alternatives.]

Okay, okay. [He sighs.]

So then, who else...?

[Who else could have a thing for Wanda? Suddenly, his eyes widen in realization.]
