Day 3

[hero_of_smiles]

[No signs yet, but Cross taps the side of his visor, making it examine the environment for any quick get aways for them to use.]

On a normal day or on a more adventurous one?

Re: Day 3

[thisismylife]

Either or? Which one's more interesting?

Re: Day 3

[hero_of_smiles]

Hmmm...probably the adventurous one.

[He stares ahead, but Cross takes a moment to figure out how to sell his life the best way possible. He's gotta hook her. Just like a plot twist in a book. His face contorts a bit as he begins to think.]

Suppose you could call me a superhero. I go around and fight crime back home.

Re: Day 3

[thisismylife]

By yourself? [She flicks a gaze in his direction before returning her gaze to her surroundings.]

Re: Day 3

[hero_of_smiles]

Hmmm?

[Cross wasn't sure if that was concern or just curiosity. But, if there were worries there he'd dispel them quickly.]

Not really. I drag my brother out to help me. He's got magic so we make a pretty good team.

Re: Day 3

[thisismylife]

Having someone to watch your back makes it easier, most of the time. Have you been doing it long?

Re: Day 3

[hero_of_smiles]

Um, lets see.

[Pulling one hand off the wheel, he begins counting on his left.]

Started training around the time I was nine, actually got into it when I was twelve. So about three years of being in the field.

Re: Day 3

[thisismylife]

Wow, you started really young. [Artemis glances down at him in surprise now.]

Re: Day 3

[hero_of_smiles]

Suppose so. But, my brother was a lot younger than me when he started learning magic.

[He glances back at her.]

So, tell me. What do you do back home? 'Cause I'm pretty sure an archery club doesn't pack explosive arrows.

Re: Day 3

[thisismylife]

I have a friend that uses magic. She started pretty young, too, from what she's told me. [Then again, Artemis had been young herself but she wasn't planning on going that deeply into her background.

She grins when he glances back at her.] Not usually, no. I have some useful connections, though. It's actually pretty similar to you. I fight a lot of bad guys. I started out solo, but then I found a team to run with.

[hero_of_smiles]

A team, huh?

[There's a twinge of jealousy right there. Working together, having friends. Yeah. He was definitely filling in the picture of Artemis's life right now. Or at the very least what he assumed it was like.]

Must be cool to have a whole team to fight the baddies. Though gotta say I'm sort of not surprised. I mean, with how you handled those guys back there.

[thisismylife]

Sometimes it is. Sometimes it's pretty rough going, too. People don't always get a long. People have their own ideas how something should be done. Sometimes it can be pretty problematic. But overall? Yeah, I'd say its pretty cool.

[She glances down and flashes him a wry smile at his comment.] Thanks. Although that was half you, though. I'd have been overrun pretty quick if you hadn't come along.

[hero_of_smiles]

You all resolve it in the end, don't you? Even if there are problems you guys probably manage through it.

[The compliment from Artemis can't help but make him grin to himself.]

Ah, it's nothing. Heroes gotta stick together and all, right?

[thisismylife]

We do our best. [She has to laugh at that, grinning down at him.] I suppose we do.

We should probably swing by the garrison though. Refuel, get some food maybe? I could use a resupply on arrows, while I'm thinking about it.

[hero_of_smiles]

Yeah, you're right. This jeep's about half on gas and I could use some more flash grenades. The pains of having limited ammo.

[Turning the wheel once more he begins heading towards the Garrison.]

[thisismylife]

Welcome to my life.

[She snickers as she says it, dropping back down in the back of the jeep and taking advantage of the respite while it lasts.
