They call it Than-X-Giving here

[bamfing]

Who: Ororo Munroe, Rogue, Kurt Wagner, Jubilation Lee, Remy LeBeau, Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Bruce Banner, Dick Grayson Robin, and Melanie Walker
What: TURKEY DAY
When: Evening of the 24th
Where: House 16
Summary: The X-Men have decided to invite some of their buddies and pals (who all coincidentally have costumed alteregos) for some Turkey Day shenanigans.
Rating: H for HEARTWARMING

Over the past week, the X-Men have invited a variety of their friends and contacts who they knew would celebrate Thanksgiving, but wouldn't have anyone to spend it with here in Luceti because they're all jaded loners. They were all instructed to try and bring a dish with them, but it was no requirement. Nevertheless, all the traditional foods would be present, along with some delicious extras.

ooc: Characters can interact out at the table eating, over on the couches, in the one of the two spare bedrooms, or preparing food in the kitchen. Or maybe catching some cool air outside on the porch. Whatever your fancy is! Also, prose or action brackets are cool. Pick your poison.

Hey, if he's judging her then she'll judge right back.

"I don't care what you can do, Boy Wonder. You can't scare me, and I'm not going to be intimidated by some twip that thinks he's serving some kind of greater purpose. I can handle Batman just fine, and you aren't even close to being like him. You're just a pest."

So not the same thing.

"Batman's not the type to be easily 'handled'." And to be honest, it's kind of offensive that she'd consider anyone under the cowl to be a minor threat. "And neither am I. You'll find that out the moment you step out of line."

Batman isn't a minor threat - he's the one responsible for her and her family originally being put behind bars, after all. But since she's gone straight things have been... less antagonistic. He only ever came to find her when her family was up to something.

"Then you're going to be disappointed. I haven't done anything wrong, and it's going to stay that way. But if you want to play you're little game, go right ahead. It's not going to change anything."

"We'll see about that" is all he'll leave her with, as he focuses on her body language instead.

Should she look away sometime after now, he'll be gone by the time she looks back. Getting the last word is important.

Melanie does end up looking away eventually, but she doesn't expect Robin to still be there when she looks back. It's something she's come to expect with people like him.

Whatever, she's just glad she can at least spend her remaining time out here in peace.
