The X-men run missions and work together with the NYPD, striving to maintain a peaceful balance between humans and mutants. When it comes to a fight, they won't back down from protecting those who need their help.
Haven presents itself as a humanitarian organization for activists, leaders, and high society, yet mutants are the secret leaders working to protect and serve their kind. Behind the scenes they bring their goals into reality.
From the time when mutants became known to the world, SUPER was founded as a black-ops division of the CIA in an attempt to classify, observe, and learn more about this new and rising threat.
The Syndicate works to help bring mutantkind to the forefront of the world. They work from the shadows, a beacon of hope for mutants, but a bane to mankind. With their guiding hand, humanity will finally find extinction.
Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

Koga got cleaned up from the days errand's he was no closer to finding the missing kids, but there were two more Mugger's in lock up and one potential bank robber locked to a light post outside the bank with a note written on his face about the error of his ways. It was a good day. He could fight men with knives and guns with ease. a cold confidence that already took the variables into account sought the best approach and timing and took the assailant out.
A date though...a date with a girl from the mansion. That made his mouth dry. She was pretty, he liked the way her noir locks cascaded down in spirals and waves. From what he had learned since the auction was that she would be sixteen in April, he'd already be eighteen by then, so they were a solid two years apart. She did in fact like all of the things that she listed on her card, and the angel line was a bit misleading, she was apparently sweet, but mischievous.
He had his plan ready, it was pretty linear for a date, but he figured that it would be good to stay in familiar territory. He left a hand written note slid under her door, It was in his own excruciatingly careful penmanship each letter speaking of the care he put into things that he did.
--I hope to take you out today, if it suits you please be ready at 3:00, I thought that a late lunch and a show would be nice, I hope that you haven't seen it.-- -Ryuichi Koga-
He put on a pair of bright green chucks, Black pants and white button up short sleeve shirt over a white undershirt. He decided to go with the reptile instead of work against so he left his skin at a nice grass green, his hair was a much darker green. He glanced at the clock 2: 59
He took a deep breath and grabbed the flowers off his dresser and made his way down the hall controlling his breathing as he came to the door that he left the note under earlier. He taped lightly twice and waited.

One could only imagine how anxious Gina was about the date, when one considered how worked up the "winner" of the bid had been. While he had her personal advertisement to go off of as a reference to Gina's character, Gina had nothing more than a name to go off of. The mysterious note beneath the door had been a mysterious, and even romantic, touch. Gina had been off and returned shortly after breakfast, along with Agnes, only to find a handwritten note that'd been passed under their door.
It was from that guy-- yeah, the guy-- Ryuichi Koga. The speech was formal and to-the-point, requesting Gina's time today at three, for a show and a late lunch, so long as she was available.
"Sounds lovely," Gina mumbled, having expected something much less formal. Whoa. She liked this guy already and she didn't know him. She'd stared at the letter for a few moments, and then realization dawned on her.
"Crap, I have to find something to wear!"
The rest of the afternoon had been spent contemplating over what to wear. What was too formal, what wasn't nice enough? God forbid Gina over- or under-dress for the occasion. Gina was eventually roped-down from her date-induced-buzz, and tethered down long enough to select something to wear. Ultimately, the gargoyle opted for a middling ensemble. A flowy floral skirt that kissed just above her knees, over long black leggings, with a lovely off-white blouse. It was 2:30 when Gina finished getting dressed.
"Hair and make-up," she breathed, darting into the bathroom. She opted for something understated, but given her complexion, the eyes were really the only things that could be accentuated without looking funny. Gina was finishing up with forcing her hair into a sloppy bun, and about to put her earrings on, when there was a hesitant knocking at the door.
"Ach, that's Ryuichi," Gina murmured, rushing to the door to peek out. Agnes was in the main part of the room, so Gina addressed her in hushed tones, "Agnes, I feel like my stomach's going to hit the tiled floor. Could ya get the door for me, please? I'm almost ready."
To say Gina had some jitters was an understatement. She didn't even know the boy, and yet the concept of a date scared her witless. Gina surveyed herself in the mirror, wedging a few final bobby pins into the sloppy bun, before topping it off with a pair of chopsticks, staring her reflection down. She'd be fine, it was just a date, just in support of the school's Frisbee team. It was just a date, with a normal mutant guy, and there was nothing to be anxious about.
Agnes had heard about the auction. She was glad that Gina had participated in order to support the team. To be honest Agnes would have as well if she were not so damn shy. But she supported Gina and smirked when her little sister had told her that she had actually been auctioned off to someone. Gina, on an actual DATE? Agnes was utterly thrilled. Mainly because she knew it was about time that Gina went out on a date with someone nice. God, she hoped that whoever this boy was that he was nice.
He better be nice. Or he was going to wake up with wasps, roaches, and flying crawling all over him in his sleep!
Rawwr!
Sitting in the room, Agnes had simply remained quiet and watched Gina as she whirlwind around their room all afternoon. The note from the boy said he would be picking her up at 3:00pm, if it was convenient for her. So Agnes decided that instead of getting in her sister’s way, she would simply sit back and watch her get dressed. After all, Agnes knew extremely little about dating (Despite the fact that she was actually dating someone at the moment), so she doubted that any input she could give would be useful.
Though she did throw in an “That shirt is nice!” “That shirt is nicer!” “I like that skirt!” “Not those earrings.”[/color] whenever Gina asked for her input. At least she would be totally absent from the event.
A glance at the clock at it was 2:30pm and Gina still needed to fix her hair and make-up. Agnes smirked as he sister ran into the bathroom to get to work on those necessities. The whole thing make the runaway giggle because it reminded her so much of her first date with Jasmine. Agnes was just as much a whirlwind of activity and just as nervous and worried. Thankfully Gina had been there for her to keep her calm. Hopefully she could do the same for Gina.
Agnes, dressed simply in her faded blue Praying Mantis t-shirt and pair of jeans, sat comfortable on the bed and kept glancing at the bathroom door and at the clock. Time was ticking down. She turned the page of her book of music but paused when she though she heard a light tapping on the door. Confused, she arched a brow and glanced at the clock.
“Three PM exactly, wow,” she mused. Just at that moment she glanced over as Gina popped her head out from the bathroom door.
>> “Agnes, I feel like my stomach's going to hit the tiled floor. Could ya get the door for me, please? I'm almost ready."[/color]
She smirked sympathetically.
“Sure. Don’t panic, you’ll be great,” she beamed as she scooted off her bed and walked barefoot across the carpeted room and to the front door.
When she reached the door though, serious face took over. After all, this guy was taking her little sister out on a date. It was her duty to give him a hard time. She cleared her throat, flexed her wings a bit, before she grabbed the handle and pulled the door open.
Eyebrow arched, she peered at the green skinned, green haired young man that was behind the door, standing in the hall and brandishing flowers. That was really extremely adorable! But Agnes didn’t let them show on her expression. She narrowed her eyes distrustfully as she eyed the boy with the dark eyes closely.
He checked the door number not two or three but four times between the short period that he knocked and that A girl that did not look like his intended date. He should have put her name on the note, otherwise he might not be taking out the girl that he thought he was taking out, it would be kind of mean if he put it under the wrong door and turned around and said it wasn't meant for her. but that would also mean that Gina didn't get the note so she wouldn't know that he took someone else on their date...still. not good.
He wasn't trying to eves drop but he was right next to the door, he heard two feminine voices, one a bit on the excited side the other calm.
" Hi, I'm here to pick up Gina. I left a note earlier." Did he do something wrong already? "I'm Ryuichi Koga." He offered his hand to shake if she would take it. His eyes went to her shirt as his offered hand hanged there. Hopefully she didn't decapitate him for his trouble.
He blinked his big black eyes at the girl in the door way. see, I'm cute and totally harmless. He then smiled sheepishly at her. "I did get the right room, didn't I?"

Gina nodded approvingly at her reflection, and reached for her finishing touch-- the earrings. They were dangly gold ones that bore semblance to leaves, which played into the floral skirt and accented the cream top lightly. She managed to keep her hands steady while she slipped the right earring in, and then the left, and then Gina stepped back. She was presentable. A less modest-version of Gina might have said she looked really good, but Gina didn't go so far. She looked okay. Now, for the test of courage.
Gina shuffled to the bathroom door and pushed it open, out of the boy's range of vision, and unable to see him, from this angle but fully capable of seeing Agnes. She seemed to be giving Gina's date a glare that could probably burn holes into an unsuspecting man's skull.
"Be nice," Gina hissed through a smile, the words of warning announcing her presence. Maxwell would be pleased. As a matter of fact, so would her other brothers. Agnes was giving her date the thrid-degree. Gina drew closer noiselessly, curiosity besting her, and waited for introductions. Her nerves were doing a step-dance on her heart. The boy introduced himself to Agnes, sounding a touch uncertain, perhaps.
>> "Hi, I'm here to pick up Gina. I left a note earlier I'm Ryuichi Koga... I did get the right room, didn't I?"
Gina waited until introductions were exchanged before speaking up, making herself known once Agnes had time a-plenty to answer Ryuichi Koga. In her laughing tone, she called out, "Don't scare him off!"
She drew up behind Agnes, peeking around her to get a better look at the boy. His eyes were a solid, glassy black, and he had green skin with dark green hair. But among this host of mutations, these weren't the first thing that she noticed. No, there was something else that snagged her attention, and she only looked up towards him as an afterthough.
He brought flowers.
That gave him so many brownie points in Gina's book.
Gina edged out from behind Agnes, her gaze flicking to her sister, to the flowers again, to the guy. Ryuichi Koga. First he left that formal note, and now he brought flowers. Not only was he cute, but he was jumping through all the hoops that a nice guy might jump through.
"Ah, hi," Gina greeted. She paused, uncertain of what to say, and her cheeks colored lightly. Crud. Oh crud, "I'm Gina," Of course she was Gina. He bid on her. Pictures accompanied the bids. He'd know what she looked like, "I hope Agnes wasn't too gung-ho with the interrogation?"
She glanced back towards her sister with a laugh in her eyes. What was this? Soft-spoken Gina?
Agnes still had her eyebrow arched as she watched the look of confused looking boy glance between both her and the door that she had held open. He seemed to be at a loss for what was happening, not that she could blame him. He came looking for a young gargoyle and instead got a blue-eyed, bug winged, runaway. Yeah, she probably would have been just as unsure.
But Agnes took advantage of his confusion. While he glanced between both her and the door, Agnes took that time to eye him up and down. He looked sweet and harmless enough. After all he did come bearing flowers. That was a plus for any girl…
>> "Be nice," [/color]
Agnes hid her smirk as she heard the hiss from the bathroom. Casually, and subtly, she waved her hand to calm Gina down. After all, what was wrong with her having just the tiniest bit of fun? Wasn’t it her older sibling duty to torture whoever takes Gina out?
>> " Hi, I'm here to pick up Gina. I left a note earlier…I'm Ryuichi Koga…I did get the right room, didn't I?"
His hand extended out to her. Agnes waited, only a fraction of a second longer to make him think that she was not going to shake his hand before she finally raised her hand up. Gently she slipped it into his and squeezed it as she shook his head. He was extremely polite and well-mannered. She read the note that he had left to Gina. Even she had been impressive by it and Agnes didn’t trust anyone! That obviously said a lot.
“You’ve got the right place,” she said, still eyeing him closely. “Gina is my roommate, and sister. I’m Agnes. Nice to meet you.”
Her tone was not threatening, but it was tough enough to show that she, and her family, were not people to be messed with. As a matter of fact she probably would have continued this torture if it were not for Gina’s suddenly and stealthy introduction.
>> "Don't scare him off!"[/color]
She felt Gina behind her and smirked as her little sister began to peek and pry to get a better look at Koga. Casually Agnes slipped aside to open the door wider to allow Gina a full look at the boy that was going to be taking her out. Agnes wanted to smirk and giggle at the expression that fell across her younger sister’s features. It looked almost as if Gina believed that all this was far too good to be true. But Agnes knew that if anything deserved a nice date with a handsome boy, it was her sister.
>> "Ah, hi, I'm Gina… I hope Agnes wasn't too gung-ho with the interrogation?" [/color]
Agnes did smirk this time as she saw Gina turn to look back at her. Absolutely adorable. Gently her wings fluttered before she laid them still against her back. Her piercing blue eyes once again turned to Koga who was still standing in the door way. She did not invite him in, though. If anyone was going to do that, it had to be Gina. Besides, they may just leave without even stepping in. Either way, Agnes did not want to be in the way.
Instead, Agnes offered Koga a small smile before she nodded her head respectfully to him and stepped away. Softly she placed a hand on Gina's shoulder and squeezed it before she leaned down to whisper in her ear. "Breathe. You're doing good."
Koga shook the young woman’s hand, carefully, his hand shake was firm, it was always firm, but just because it was firm did not mean it was aggressive at all. He was just solid, that’s all. He watched her watch him. After she admitted that he had the right place and that she was the sister and the room mate of his date, he realized what this all was, this was the stern sibling family shakedown.
“Nice to meet you too Agness.” He had managed to avoid S’s up until now and just as his date arrived. His posture changed to a little bit more of relief. If only for a moment, He straitened once more and smiled shyly as she looked over her protective sister’s shoulder. The first thing he noticed were her eyes, they were big and brown they had Asian on them, a closer inspection had him inclined to say she was at least half Japanese. Her hair was dark brown and spiraled nicely. As she came around Agnes he noted that she was…Curvy. His eyes immediately went back to her eyes. He didn’t even mean to check her out like that, he only meant to notice her outfit, and she looked nice. Hopefully she had been looking at the flowers.
“Hi, Gina. I’m Ryuichi Koga, most people just call me Koga.” He smiled lightly “ You look Pretty,” He took a breath. “These are for you.” He held out the flowers for her to take. He returned Agnes’s smile and then grinned at Gina as Agnes turned her back and confided. ‘ I think sshe might have if sshe had more time.” He stood by the door not sure if he should follow her in and risk Agnes’s wraith.
“Ssooo, I was thinking a picnic and then I got ticketss to Coosje the bill looked interessting and the reviewss sseemed good enough to give it a try.” Koga stated.

Agnes bore the look of a proud sister, smiling faintly at Koga before going to Gina's side, placing a hand upon her shoulder. Gina looked towards her hesitantly, tilting her head a fraction as her sister leaned over to whisper something in her ear.
>> "Breathe. You're doing good."
Breathing was good. Was Gina still breathing? Gina inhaled and exhaled purposefully, before giving her sister a muted nod. Though her head was humming, Gina was pretty sure that she was still breathing. For now. She was anxious out of her wits, but she was breathing.
>> “Hi, Gina. I’m Ryuichi Koga, most people just call me Koga.”
"Koga," Gina reiterated, reflecting his smile, "Nice to meet you."
>> “You look Pretty... These are for you.”
The flowers were extended towards her, for Gina to take, and she took them into her arms lightly, a warm, exuberant smile touching her face in delight. He called her pretty, and gave her flowers.
"Y-you look rather sharp, yourself," Gina answered back, her cheeks coloring minimally. She tilted her head back down towards the flowers, "These are gorgeous... thank you..."
Agnes was subtly slipping away while the two conversed, at which point in time, Koga took the opportunity to lean in and whisper to Gina.
>> "I think sshe might have if sshe had more time.”
"Oh, believe me," Gina agreed, chuckling, "She would have."
She knew her sister too well. She was too much like her brothers. Siblings, both legitimately adoptive ones, and surrogate one, were obligated to be protective. But if Agnes was slipping away oh-so surreptitiously, perhaps Koga had passed the test.
>> “Ssooo, I was thinking a picnic and then I got ticketss to Coosje the bill looked interessting and the reviewss sseemed good enough to give it a try.”
"Sounds wonderful," Gina said to the green guy. She glanced down at herself. She was lacking a purse, "Erm, gimme a sec, I need to grab my bag."
It was little more than a clutch, and it only bore the necessities. The little bag was sitting on her bed. Gina went, and grabbed her clutch. She then glanced at her flowers, and decided that it would be unkind to carry them all over, for they'd get battered in their mulling about. So she jogged into the bathroom, filled her glass by the sink with water (she'd get a new one later), and set the flowers into it gently. She then carried the makeshift vase out into the room, and set it on her desk. Cool. Now it was time to go. She looked towards Agnes uncertainly, and gave her a quick, constricting hug.
"Wish me luck?" she said in a pleading whisper.
After brief farewells were exchanged, Gina went calmly to the door (as if Koga didn't see her flitting about the dormitory anxiously) and smiled calmly.
"Let's get this show on the road," Gina said warmly.
Gina briefly reminded him of a humming bird and he wished he had more to do to keep him occupied for the last few hours, but he had been thinking about the date since he had found out he won. He had everything planned down to the detail and a few contingencies in case something needed changing. Things would go well, he had seen to it that his back up plans had back up plans. so even if plan A didn't go well, plan F was waiting in the wings...he may have made a chart at one point.
Koga grinned. "Letss! Oh, sso picnic wise, I prepared for anything, but It might be better now to assk while we sstill have accesss to a fridge and what not, are you a vegetarian or vegan or any preferences I might want to know?"
Their first destination was close but oh so far away, he had gotten special permission. He had been using the danger room for training for years, he had gotten used to programming in environments and enemies and whatever else he needed...last night he had put his efforts into a passive environment that would turn a picnic into something spectacular
"I thought about going out back to the garden, who ever is working on it iss doing an amazing job, but I wanted ssomething a bit more...unique. I hope you like it."
They walked down the main stairs and through the hallways, making a brief detour and augmenting the picnic basket waiting there as needed, and then they went into the basement and to the danger room. The room appeared to be solid steel paneling, Koga spread the red and white picnic blanket on the steel floor. and the blanket in the middle of that.
Standing next to Gina he gently but confidently took Gina's hand. " I know we just met, but do you trust me?just enough to close your eyes until I say when?" He looked at her from the corner of his eyes and let a light smile play at the corners of his lips. He wouldn't force the girl to close her eyes so he waited a moment.
Koga closed his own eyes and stated." Computer, program; A picnic for Gina." A moment later the program he worked on came into view, the initial power up always ruined it for him watching the steel disappear and be replaced with whatever illusion that was conjured up.
When their eyes opened they would find themselves in a meadow, the grass was a vivid aquamarine, the rolling hills beyond them were the same shade of bluish green. a crystal clear creek flowed nearby over gemstones, trees further off whispered to each other as a playful breeze hit the leaves of every color into each other. The horizons to the north was a perpetual sunrise, the south had a perpetual sunset, the east border had mountains the color of cotton candy with snow white peaks, the border to the west was a tropical rainforest complete with waterfalls here and there. here and there groups of non predatory animals went about doing animal things. Birds chirped and sang nosily to the west, billy goats dotted the mountains climbing haphazardly. Antelope and buffalo moved about to the south, peaceful beta fish swam about in the gemstone creek. The gemstone creek steadily flowed into an ocean to the north where dolphins and whales seemed to congregate happily.
The grassy knoll they were on gave them a perfect vantage in every direction, but what he liked best was up, the sunrise and sun set quickly faded into a night sky, looking anywhere but up you would feel like it was daytime, but once you looked up, a star filled sky dominated the wide black expanse. It was one of things he missed most about the mountain with his grand father, New york shined brighter than the stars and thus you couldn't see them, but where there weren't city lights, you could see all the stars and more.
A shooting star streaked across the sky here or there. "You can open them in one, two, three" Koga opened his eyes and was happy with what his hard work brought them. After he took in all the wonders, He wondered idly, if they would leave the paradise in time for the show.

>> "Of course."
Gina retrieved her purse and found her way back to Koga, and at her announcement that they should get-going, Koga agreed.
>> "Letss! Oh, sso picnic wise, I prepared for anything, but It might be better now to assk while we sstill have accesss to a fridge and what not, are you a vegetarian or vegan or any preferences I might want to know?"
Gina smiled and shook her head. How considerate of Koga to ask! Such a thought would have never crossed Gina’s mind, to take into consideration someones’ dietary concerns. It was cool that such a thing would dawn on Koga.
“Nope, no special dietary needs, no allergies, nothing,” Gina confirmed. She was an eating machine that could put food away like a boy, and showed nothing to prove it outwardly. But Gina wouldn’t mention that to him.
>> "I thought about going out back to the garden, who ever is working on it iss doing an amazing job, but I wanted ssomething a bit more...unique. I hope you like it."
“You should mention that to Agnes,” Gina proposed, her smile growing into a grin, “She’s a gardener for the school. I’m sure she’d be pleased to hear such a compliment... I'm sure I'll like it.”
The two of them ventured down the main stairs, and through some familiar looking halls. They stopped, briefly, to get the picnic food, before making their way down to a room to which Gina had ventured before. Though, last time, she’d come here, it had been for dance lessons.
Koga came up beside Gina, and lightly took her hand. Gina’s heart stammered slightly within her chest.
>> "I know we just met, but do you trust me? Just enough to close your eyes until I say when?"
What did he have in-store for her, Gina wondered. Her eyes glimmered with something of mischief, but she nodded her head, “Yeah.”
Gina trusted anyone who didn’t give her a reason to not trust them. She closed her eyes, and waited, curiosity piqued.
>> "Computer, program; A picnic for Gina."
Around her, the cool metal room changed to something warmer, a light breeze nipping at Gina’s skin. She wanted so badly to open her eyes, but she would wait. She had to. She had promised to keep her eyes closed.
>> "You can open them in one, two, three"
Brown eyes slid open slowly, before widening in surprise and delight. The gargoyle found herself standing atop a hill of lush grass, looking upon rolling hills, trickling a trickling creek, and a sunrise that did nature justice. There were the animals and the mountains, and an ocean. The gargoyle found herself releasing Koga’s hand as she began to slowly turn, consumed by the beauty of it all. Her eyes found nowhere to stop, pointing skyward, sweeping ground-ward. Her look of utter amazement drifted into a soft glee.
This was a picnic, for her. Forget the fact that none of this was real, Koga had made this for her—a picnic for Gina, he’d said.
“Koga,” Gina gasped, “You did all of this?” For me, Gina’s tone seemed to add on. It was so far above, and so far beyond, anything that Gina had expected.
“It’s so beautiful,” Gina breathed, “Wow.”
How could words even begin to describe it. The view was powerful and immense, far more than Gina ever thought could be replicated by a computer. A girl could get lost there for hours. Without any apprehension, Gina found her way to Koga’s side and, lacing an arm around his waist, hugged him.
“This is amazing... so vivid...” she complimented, “Thank you.”
Gina didn’t even remember the play, for the time being. She was more preoccupied with this invented world. She could spend hours in there—days upon weeks, even.
“Ok, Cool.” Ryuichi replied to Gina’s admitted low maintenance meal choices, not that he would have minded if she was high maintenance it just didn’t hurt if she made things easy on him. Koga looked cautiously at Gina, he wasn’t sure if he would be mentioning anything to Agnes until she formally approved of him. Until then he would just behave and treat Gina well.Then again she did recommend that he pass his respects on to Agnes’s flower skills, maybe she could use it. “ Well, it’s true, So I’ll let her know.” Koga would now let her know, that’s right he was going to seek out a conversation with Agnes who seemed intent on piercing him with her eyes alone. ~~~~~~ “Yup, I’ve always thought this machine getss wassted on training, yeah training iss important but it can be sso much more.” He grinned. This was just the beginning though, he programmed things in for later that would be good topic starters if they needed them. he wasn’t sure that they would.
It was Gina’s turn to make Koga’s heart beat a little bit faster. “I’m really glad you like it.” the whole time he was programming it, he kept thinking about the worst case scenario, what if she hated it and ended the date there, if she thought he was lame for taking her to the danger room.
Next thing he knew her arms were around his waist and she was embracing him, her body pressed up against his. Heat flooded his cheeks. He hugged her back careful to not in act any of his constrictor instinct. This was moving along quickly. too quickly? He didn’t think she was that kind of girl, he hoped she wasn’t, at least not that fast. No she had a certain innocence to her, he shook the wild thoughts from his hormonal mind. And they returned just as quick. What would he do if she kissed him? He would kiss her back wouldn’t he? Two years wasn’t much of a difference. Was it? it wasn’t. he took a deep and was a little bit more nervous by the time they stopped hugging.

No kidding. The possibilities were literally as endless as one’s imagination. She was just… floored by it all. Breathless. Absolutely amazed.
A hug hardly sufficed for a show of gratitude, but words would have failed her. They didn’t do the picnic are justice.
>> “I’m really glad you like it.”
Koga returned the hug lightly. It was a short-lived thing, and Gina released the poor boy after only a few moments. Her brothers had never been too keen on hugging, and she figured other boys would be just as weird about it.
“I love it,” Gina corrected, “This is awesome.”
While Koga was battling his anxiety, Gina was holly at-ease now. He was nice guy, this would be a great afternoon, and there was nothing to worry about. After all, look at the length he’d gone to, to provide such lovely scenery, when one could have easily just gone out into Xavier’s beautiful lawn. This would be so much fun. Her mind didn’t even swing in the direction of kissing and such things.
“Where should we sit?” Gina inquired politely, tail flicking and curling casually. She wasn’t impatient, but intrigued. She wasn’t sure if there was some place specific that they were supposed to sit.
Koga's cheeks were going to hurt by the end of the night, they lifted once more at her excitement. He was then dumbfounded. Where should they sit?
"ummmm, I don't know, I made it sso all of the animalss are peaceful, so even if we come acrosss a predator they won't attack uss, or anything elsse for that mater." The last thing he needed was for some cheetah to take down a gazelle or something while they ate sandwiches. " Where ever you like, We can explore and find a good sspot." Koga suggested. He then looked to the ground nearby and spied something there, of course he had planned it but it would be more fun to have her find it. "What iss that?"
A large Persian rug lay in the grass nearby, if she went near it, it would begin to float. So, he might have pulled something out of Aladdin's book, he figured that if he was going to the trouble of making a detailed world, they might want to look at it and from there he tried to imagine the best way to travel about it. He still had no clue as to where they should actually eat, there was a great spot by some of the waterfalls, there was a cove on the beach that reflected the sunrise off of the water and up onto a cave. There were grassy knolls and mountain peeks. if they wanted to they could just sit on the magic carpet and eat in the middle of the sky.

“Oh, okay!” Gina agreed lightly. They could venture about without worrying about an attack. That was always reassuring. Or worrying about watching something catch something else and start chowing-down during their own meal. Gina started to meander away, scoping for a decent picnic spot, when Koga’s next inquiry summoned her back towards him.
>> "What iss that?"
The gargoyle returned, intrigued—what could there be that the inventor of this fantastic place couldn’t be aware of. Gina stopped beside Koga, when she spied the rug that lay before them.
“It’s a rug,” Gina replied, a smile in her tone. So there was somewhere that they were supposed to sit, or at least sit on, “This could be usef- whoa!” Gina had meandered closer to pick it up, and maybe carry it elsewhere to sit on, when the rug lifted itself up off of the ground and hovered before her. The unexpected motion had caused the gargoyle to step back, her face falling into a look of surprise. But when she realized that it was a flying carpet—a magic carpet, of all things—her gasp of alarm was replaced by chuckling.
“A magic carpet,” Gina said with a grin of admiration, “Wow, you really thought of everything… and the detail...”
Gina circled the carpet, eyes glimmering with delight, “So, can we… you know, go on it?”
Flight was not nearly as foreign of a concept for a girl with wings, but not having to work for it—not having to beat your wings to become airborne—that was a novelty. So, in her own way, Gina was excited to try it out.
He crouched and retrieved the basket and Koga hopped up on the carpet and felt it waver slightly under his feet and normally he would let the lady go first but he was insuring that it was stable and that she would be able to step up without it being too wobbly, the first time he tested it he was happy that he had grasping abilities as the rug most definitely objected. But that test led him to programming a few rules into that would prevent it from dumping them off of it, now the weight would be adjusted and accounted for. Still if there was any trouble to be had, then he wanted to be the one that got it. so, far so good.
“While I realized that you could mosst likely fly, I didn’t think assking you to carry me around wass very becoming. Sso I thought we’d travel in sstyle. Plus, I think that we sshould explore ssome before we ssettle on a sspot.”
After they were both on the carpet he would sit Indian style and hand Gina a woven tasel that went up and back down to the carpet almost like a pair of reigns. With her having the ability to fly and him having the ability to cling to the carpet and her if it did do something wacky, and if nothing else the safety command could be uttered and they would be sat on their rumps on the floor in a boring metal box.
Once they got higher she might notice that some of the leaf colors and flowers on the ground spelt out her name, it wasn’t very obvious but if you looked closely one could tell.
