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.

Roxie smirked as she sat next to Javier, just taking a moment to catch her own breath. It had been a trying day and she was eager to put it behind her. At this point, all she wanted to do was put this park behind her and head back into the city where she wouldn’t feel so weak. It was strange how incidents like this only ever seemed to happen whenever she was out of the safety of her homestead.
Guess that is what she gets for leaving the house.
Still, she was thankful that she didn’t go through this alone. Despite her heightened strength, she wasn’t at full power. The building around her was minimalist, at most, and had she been alone, it would have been far more likely that a bigger fight would have broken out. She couldn’t have handled all the giant animals and the Beastmaster, and it would have surely led to the building being destroyed.
Then she would have been far worse for the case. But thankfully Javier was here and his considerable strength and quick thinking saved her. She honestly believe that he had saved her life and, for that, she was grateful.
>>"It's not like I had much of a choice... And you did pretty great."
She smirked. ”Thanks.” She sighed and placed her hands behind her, leaning on them as she lifted her gaze up. She could feel the tired settling in. She would be fine once she returned to center of the city, but until then she needed to just let herself feel hurt. A hand reached up to her side where the fox’s teeth had scraped her skin. That was going to burn later.
Her head tilted at the sounds of sirens and she sighed in relief. She didn’t know what took the X-Men, or the authorities, so long, but she was glad that she didn’t have to be the one to haul everyone in. It was done.
>>"That must be the police...You know you should be on a superhero team or something..."
A soft chuckle on her lips and Roxie turned to face him. ”I’ve heard that alot late. But I’m not much of a team player,” she nodded to him. ”Same goes to you. You handled those animals like a champ.”

Roxie was impressed. That was usually something that was a bit difficult for her. Not that she was conceited or anything, but there had been enough instances where she had to witness people trying to impress her simply to try and get her to share a bed with them. It was disgusting and actually put her off the entire concept of being impressed by others. Clearly that was not what Javier was after, but he had been impressive, nonetheless. His bravery, his strength, she was glad that if she had to be stuck with anyone in this incident, that it was him.
But despite enjoying the man work, she needed him to get back onto his feet. Kneeling over him, she grinned as she casually patted his cheeks to wake him up. Given how strong he was, she doubted that he was suffering some kind of brain trauma, but just in case it was better he keep his eyes open and remain alert than anything else.
>>"What now? Is there another one?..."
So she waited and then grinned a wide grin when his eyes fluttered open. He grumbled about why did he need to be awake and inquired if there were any more threats about. Roxie shot her head up, twisting and ensuring that there was actually no one else. So she shook her head and turned her gaze back to him.
”No. Just a few victims who can’t move and some animals milling about.”
She eyed the fallen tiger, still unconscious, and several of the other, more dangerous animals. They seemed too tired to be a threat and were either sleeping or nosing things curiously. Thankfully the most dangerous thing was the tiger and it wasn’t getting up any time soon. Even the mutant, Beastmaster, was still taking a nice siesta.
With her attention back on Javier, she grinned. ”But I can’t let you sleep. Pretty sure your noggin is okay,” she mused. ”But I definitely don’t need you napping if you have a concussion. I can’t tell, after all, I’m not a doctor, nor do I have X-Ray vision.” Turning, she plopped onto her butt next to him, determined to keep him awake should he drift. With a nudge, she sighed. ”Thanks for the assist, Javier. Don’t think I would have been able to do anything without your help.”
Roxie was barely even thinking any more. All that mattered to her was to end this fight. The giant animals, the terrified people, the ridiculously dressed man, it all just needed to stop. And the only way that she was going to achieve that was if she went all out. That was why, when she lunged forward, she snagged his cape and held on tight. She ignored the choking sounds as she reeled the Beastmaster backwards like a fish on a hook, and then started to spin.
It must have made a comical sight. She turned hard, spinning on her heels as she swung the choking mutant by his cape around and around and around. She had always heard critics say that capes made no sense. They were only a liability to people trying to save the world. Oh how right they were. In this instance, Roxie knew exactly what so many of them said when they shouted ‘No Capes!’.
With another pivot of her hips, Roxie shouted at the top of her lungs for Javier to duck as she pulled her arms forward, swinging the lumbering Beastmaster forward and directly towards the massive tiger that was getting ready to make a final swipe at her newfound friend.
Roxie fell to her knee as exhaustion started to set in. Even though she was in a building, it wasn’t the best of structures. It was minimalist at best and that often led to her powers being slightly dampened. Now that she was taking a moment to rest, she could feel the tired seeping into her bones. She was strong, she was powerful, but she wasn’t as full strength and her body was reminding her of that.
Still, even though her eyes were tired, she watched as the villain flew through the open air, screeching the entire way. His arms flapped, shifting into that of bird wings but they were unable to form quickly enough. Just as the right feathers grew in, there was a harsh snap as he collided with the tiger. Yowls and screams issued forth as they slammed into one another. The dust settled, followed by a poof, and the tiger lay on its side, while Beastmaster lay on his.
Neither were moving, but both were breathing. Good. It was then she noticed Javier rolling onto his back, looking just as tired. A grin on her lips, Roxie straightened up and jogged over to him. As she skid to a stop she knelt down, hovering over his face.
Lightly she tapped his cheeks to keep him from nodding off. ”Come on, Handsome. Can’t sleep on the job yet.”

Roxie gave chase. She knew that she had the Beastmaster on the ropes and she was looking to drive home that final nail in the coffin. But her enemy was proving to be a bit of a coward and fled from her advances. She was ready to throw his head through the wall but the slippery bastard simply wasn’t letting her catch up. It seemed that however ridiculous his powers were, they were aiding him in trying to get away with the crime.
But not for long. With a roll of her shoulders, Roxie felt a burst of speed and energy fill her lips. She pumped her calves hard as she bolted after the flee man, ignoring whatever words he tried to mumble through his ruined mouth.
Roxie didn’t immediately catch onto anything he was saying. Out of the corner of her eye though, she saw that many of the animals had shrunk. Most were just meandering. But there was one, massive creature that seemed to focus in on her. But before she could turn her head to look, the creature was suddenly gone, pushed off to the side. What the hell?
Still chasing, she turned to see Javier squaring off against the massive tiger. It seemed that whatever he was doing to shrink the animals either didn’t work or he didn’t get to the tiger yet. Great. She was thankful for his help, but clearly he was injured and inexperienced and she needed to help him.
Pushing herself faster, Roxie growled as she suddenly launched herself at the Beastmaster. Had she not been so determined...she would have missed. However, this time, she threw herself at him and caught him by that stupid, furry cape. Holding on tight, she immediately brought the man down with a thud.
He scrambled and screamed but Roxie ignored him as she tightened her grip and gave the man a wink. ”Time to ground you, jackass…” she snarled. With that, she began to swing.
It was like a cheesy scene in a movie. Roxie held on tight to the cape and began to spin. She lifted the Beastmaster up, turning him around and around, his screams filling the air. Then, aiming as well as she could, she launched him directly at the massive tiger like a hammer throw. As the Beastmaster sailed true for his target, Roxie turned and shouted to Javier.

Okay, so maybe now Roxie was beginning to realize that she bit off a bit more than she could chew. Not only was the Beastmaster actually a competent fighter, but his mutation, for as wild as it seemed, was proving to be more formidable than she would have liked. But she wasn’t going to allow herself to back down now. Whatever Javier had did, he had managed to shrink down one of those animals. If he could do the same with others, then that would least remove the animal component from this equation.
But now that meant she had to handle the crazed mutant on her own. The man, in his furry attire, lashed out at Roxie with everything he had. His arms lashed out, creating snake heads, crab pincers, tiger claws, at one point she felt a prehensile tail wrap around her ankle and tug her feet out from under her. She landed with a thud but rolled away just in time to dodge massive elephant foot (the Beastmaster’s) as he tried to squish her head.
“Gah!! Hold still!!” he shouted.
Roxie slipped onto her feet and started to circle around him again. Quietly she rolled her neck, her eyes laser focused on him. In the distance she could see animals suddenly poofing and reappearing as their smaller selves. She couldn’t see what Javier was doing, but thank god he was doing it. Rolling her shoulder, she narrowed her eyes at the mutant.
The Beastmaster cackled, his hands shifting between claws and bird talons. “You don’t want this, pretty bird,” he spat. “I’ll gut you and your friend for what you’ve done. Soon you will know the wrath of the animal kingdom! YOU WILL KNOW YOUR PLACE IN THE FOOD CHAIN! YOU WI---URRRRKKK!!!”
His voice was cut off. Launching herself forward, Roxie threw her fist into the man’s cheek, hearing a satisfying crack of the jawbone, then the rush of air as he flew from her fist and sent skidding acrossing the dirt covered ground. Roxie sighed, rolling her neck again as she tightened her fist. She barely felt any resistance. Beastmaster, meanwhile…
“Mah jaff…” he spat up blood and teeth in a gargled sound. He struggled to stand up, wavering and holding his face. “...ew...ew broff mah jaf!!”
Roxie threw her fist into her open hand, sending a small shockwave expanding out from her person. A devilish smirk pulled her lips. ”Oh sweetie…” she chided. ”I’m about to do so much worse.”
With that, Roxie ran after the mutant, to which Beastmaster immediately and without hesitation...began to run away. And around the pen the both of them ran, Beastmaster trying to flee, and Roxie giving chase, shouting obscenities for him to get back.

Roxie had issued the challenge. She was over trying to take the subtle route. All she had wanted was a nice day out. A chance to walk out in the park and not have to worry about what her mutation would do to her. But no, she couldn’t have that could she? Instead of just enjoying her time in the park, she had to be picked up and stolen away by a giant fox at the behest of this psycho.
Roxie. Was. Done.
She glared daggers at the badly dressed mutant. Exactly what was his powers? Clearly he made the animals big...but did he also control them? Had to be. She didn’t see anyone else around to handle that aspect, so clearly was some mutant telepath / size alterater? Talk about unfair. How did that even work in the grand scheme of things? If anything she imagined mutants with powers that were more...related.
But whatever. She shook the thoughts away and continued to glare up at the towering man on his pedestal. All she wanted to do was knock it down but considering just how minimal the structure of the building was, she knew that she had to play things safe. If she went about causing destruction then she was going to vastly weaken her own abilities.
Despite her challenge, she needed to play things smart. But how?
Then there was a ruckus. Roxie snapped her attention back as the fox who had thrown her started to buck and spin, trying to bite something on its back. Her brow arched, and so did the Beastmaster’s, until several things happened: 1st, the fox turned hard. 2nd, she watched Javier go flying and land with a harsh thud. And 3rd, somehow, there the fox that had just carried her the whole way here disappeared in a poof and suddenly returned to the size of a normal fox.
”Oooookay?” she started. She then shouted to Javier. ”Whatever you did, do it again!”
>>"Ow..."
“NOOOO!!!”
Roxie looked up as the Beastmaster suddenly dove off the ledge, falling directly at her. Roxie pulled her fist back but before she could deliver a blow, she watched in surprise as two large skin flaps opened up in her foe’s under arms. He caught the air and floated like a flying squirrel over Roxie’s head and landed deftly behind her. She turned just in time to see the man’s back legs suddenly shift to that of a donkey’s as he threw his shifting legs (now the hindquarters of a donkey) into her stomach, sending her sprawling back.
Landing with a grunt, Roxie leaned up to see the man looming over her. She watched as his body moved and twisted, shaping and reshaping into various animal limbs and body parts, as if he were trying to decide which animal ability he wanted to encompass. Roxie, unamused, rolled her eyes as she moved to her feet.
”Oh come the **** on! That doesn’t even make sense!!!” she snapped. She then swiftly dodged to the side as a massive arm, shifting into a snake’s head, flew at her. Roxie dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the poisonous bite, and tensed her jaw. She really, really hoped that Javier was okay and doing...something.

Roxie winced once she landed. She wasn’t extremely hurt but she was still nursing some injuries when she was taken off the ground and was being hauled over to this enclosure. Now she was leaning heavily against her arm, looking up at the psychopath that was looming over the pit. Up above she could better see the individual calling himself the Beastmaster and Roxie was very much not impressed. He was dressed like a fashion nightmare and nothing more.
Groaning as she moved up to her feet, she held onto her side (definitely a bruised rib from earlier) and surveyed the rest of the crowd. They were just people. Just random people, all of which who had been captured in just as cruel a manner as herself. However, they didn’t have the gift of the mutation she did. Each of them was injured, bleeding, limping, some crying as they held onto broken limbs. The animals had not been gentle -- or that was how they were commanded to be.
Her gaze shot back to the fox she had come from but there was no sign of her comrade. He was probably still in hiding. She hoped that he didn’t run off and that he was going to help in some manner. Maybe she just needed to bide him some time. So, her attention snapped back to the self-made villain as he cackled obnoxiously.
>>"Look at all of you, nicely in one place! Quite the display, isn't it? Much more interesting that those poor creatures in cages, if you ask me. Yes! I bet people would pay good money to see you all... again..."
She rolled her eyes, again. That was more eyerolls in one day than should be allowed! But this guy was just so over-the-top and so completely out of his mind that it was difficult to keep a straight face. But, despite all that, she smiled. She smiled because with her feet firmly planted in the ground, and the sensation of the structure of the building around her, she could feel a pretty solid hold on her strength. That was the only reason she raised her gaze upward and pointed a stern finger at the Beastmaster.
”Hey! Cosplay reject!” she shouted. ”Have you been huffing paint fumes?” she growled. ”These are innocent people! Hurt people! And what? You’re going to ransom them? Talk about unoriginal!”
She wanted him mad and, judging by why she could see of his face underneath the mask, he was getting irritated. He held firmly to the edge of his tiger-skin cape and gave it a flourish.
“Oh if there’s one thing you don’t want to do, it’s piss off the kidnapper.” He snapped. “Because there’s no one, not even the ridiculous X-Men who can stop me--EEEEE!!!” Beastmaster squealed and dodged out of the way as a giant feed bowl was hurled at him.
Roxie stood there, unashamed of her actions. ”Blow it out your ass,” she shouted. The challenge had been thrown and she hoped the moron would answer.

>>"Your strength depends on buildings?..."
Roxie couldn’t respond to that. She could hear the animals as they all entered the building, the multitude of them bearing their own cringing, crying cargo. Much like the fox that had her, every animal she saw as she whipped her head around was massive, far bigger than they were supposed to be. Strangely, though, it seemed that they were all grown to the exact same size. Naturally a lion is bigger than a fox, but both were now around the same, massive size. Clearly the work of a mutant.
But, much like Javier pointed out, they were inside of a building now. Roxie clenched her fist, feeling her connection to the structure seeping into her muscles. Casually she tested, reaching out and pushing her hand against one of the fox’s teeth. She could feel the give. Not a lot since she was holding back but she could feel the tooth wriggle against the force of her touch. That was progress.
She couldn’t celebrate just yet. As she was testing this out, she heard a loud sound cut through the air. Someone was laughing. Craning her head, she tried to get a look at them but only managed to see a flare of a tiger’s cloak and nothing more. That was...interesting. So she whispered to Javier if he could see who it was.
>>"Someone with a sh*tty sense of style"
>>”Bow to the beastmaster!”
>>"... he's the Beastmaster."
Her eyes rolled. Hard. Of course it had to be some lunatic like this. She couldn’t enjoy a nice day in the park without some psychopath with delusions of grandeur. He must be the source of all this, the person who managed to make all this animals far bigger than they should be. And was he controlling them too? That was what it was beginning to sound like. And it was an answer she would receive sooner rather than later.
The Beastmaster, standing upon a platform usually reserved for observation and feeding, turned with a flourish. His cape of tiger skin flared out and upon him his outfit of various animal skins were visible. Leopard pants, a gorilla hair vest, and a mask made to look like that of a lion’s head, complete with a mane that flared out behind him. Truly this was a crime against fashion.
With a cackle on his lips he waved his hand over all the animals surveyed. “Bring them to me!” he shouted, pointing to the large dip in the center of the room. “So I can count all my prizes. Heheheh!”
Roxie started to shove, pushing against the fox’s tooth. It was cracking, almost ready to give, but soon she was airborne, hurled by the fox into the dip. People shouted and screamed, everyone haphazardly thrown into the room. Roxie landed with a thud, amongst many others and she grumbled. This sucked.

The world moved oddly around her. Roxie ground his teeth, trying to keep her head from bouncing right off with how much the fox was moving. But as much as she tried to steady herself, the fact that she was not on firm ground was beginning to show its wear on her. Her skin was barely durable enough to keep the fox’s teeth from puncturing but if she stayed like this much longer then she was definitely going to suffer for it. The only plus in this situation was that at least she wasn’t completely alone.
Looking up, she could see her new friend riding along with the fox as if he were a gnome. The whole sight would have struck her as funny if it weren’t for the fact that she was in the jaws of a massive beast. So instead she tried to get some kind of game plan together. She shouted if there was any sign of help or where they were going. A shake of his head and Roxie knew the answer even before he said anything.
>>"No sign of the cavalry yet...But it looks like... um. I think we're going to the giraffe building?"
”Dammit!” She started to pummel against the fox’s cheek. There was still some strength with each blow but all it earned her was an angry snarl in response. What was going on? Why was she being kidnapped rather than eaten (not that she was complaining about that particular part)? Something didn’t make sense. This seemed less and less like a standard mutant attack and more like...kidnapping?
>>"So... how strong are you, exactly?"
Roxie looked up. ”Depends,” she said, shoving her palms against the fox’s teeth. One was beginning to crack but incredibly slowly. ”I need to be closer to buildings to be more effective. Right now... barely anything.’ That was a quick and dirty explanation of her abilities and hopefully something he could utilize.
Looking up, Roxie watched the looming building of the giraffe enclosure and she struggled harder. The buildings weren’t that grandiose but she could feel some strength returning to her thanks to the infrastructure beneath the ground. She shoved more, the cracks widening in the fox’s tooth, but she soon stopped when they passed through the massive doors and she heard several things. First were the lamenting cries of other kidnappees, and second was the maniacal cackling up ahead.
She craned her neck. All she saw, on the top of a raised platform, was a single figure draped in a tiger-skin cloak. Roxie whispered firmly to her new comrade. ”Hey! Can you see anything? Who is that?”

Though she didn’t mean to tease her new found friend about what was causing this, it came out nonetheless. He seemed like a nice guy but there was a nervousness about him that she just couldn’t identify. But whatever the cause she couldn’t devote much time to wondering about it because she was currently being made into a snack for a gigantic fox.
The beast rushed out, catching Roxie off her guard and quickly scooped her into his mouth. Feeling the teeth of the fox pinning her down, she yelled as she tried struggling against it. The problem was that now that her feet were lifted off the ground entirely, she was beginning to lose some of her already waning strength. This far into the expanse of the park and she could feel her abilities flickering on and off. And being lifted into a fox’s mouth just made it worse.
Pushing and shoving against the teeth, she growled as she tried to find some way out but the bouncing of the running fox was making that virtually impossible. Then, as she looked up, she saw something that seemed nearly impossible -- something flying through the air. Or, at least that was what it looked like to her skewed perspective. In reality this person was just falling from a very high point in the sky. Once he disappeared from view, Roxie figured she had imagined it, but a voice soon called down and she smiled in relief. It was him.
>>"I'm here! Are you okay?"
Roxie, her hands planted against the tooth of the fox, and continued to wriggle ineffectively. ”Not really!” she shouted back. ”But at least I’m not dead! I don’t know what’’s going on! It hasn’t tried to eat me!”
It was curious. If this was an attack, surely the animal would have devoured her by now. But instead of doing so, it was merely running far and fast, carrying her to another point of the park. It took a few moments but as she looked around, she noted that other massive animals were running, these ones actually carrying other people, either in hands or in the soft portion of their mouths. They weren’t being taken away to be eaten -- they were being kidnapped. But where? And why?
She shouted back up to Javier. ”Can you see anything?!”

Roxie was actually ready to give up for the night. Jay may have changed his mind. It wouldn’t have been the first time that one of her conquests got cold feet at the last minute. In the time that the charismatic younger man left her presence, he could have easily gotten tangled up in the bedsheets of some airheaded bimbo looking to piss off daddy.
Hrm. The more she thought about it, the more it actually started to irritate her. Jay was handsome, played the whole roguish-musician type really well. He could have easily decided that Roxie wasn’t worth waiting for. While the thought of that was a bit depressive, it also carried with it a possible reality -- one that was upsetting to even consider valid. But there it was. Was there another explanation?
Her armed crossed her chest, leather jacket squeaking momentarily in protest. But she didn’t allow her thoughts to get away from her for much longer. After she called out and waited mere moments, her solitude was invaded by the soft padding of a beautiful dog. The Golden Retriever trotted up to her, tail wagging before issuing forth a small bark. The sight brought a smile to Roxie’s lips as she knelt down to pet the out-of-place animal, but stopped when it moved away from her, slinking behind a dumpster.
”Hey...puppy…” she called out after it. However she was stopped when a very real, very human voice rang.
>>"I'll be a second...Well then, shall we?"
Roxie was clearly confused. She stopped in her tracks, fist clenched as she imagined all sorts of scenarios involving some altercation with a homeless individual. Her fears quickly changed to questioning when Jay stepped out from behind the same dumpster, pulling on some clothing. She wasn’t a genius, but even she could piece two-and-two together -- but she would play things coy at first.
”Jay,” she said with a suspicious smile. ”There you are. I was about to send the dogs out after you.” Another pause before she nodded to his final question. ”Yes, of course. Gotta admit, I’m surprised you kept the date. Wondered if you’d manage to stay occupied this long. Did you...find something to entertain yourself?”

Welcome to MRO! Been awhile since we had a empathic character around! Happy to see the return! Also glad to have another cop on the beat. XD Hope you have a grand time here!
Welcome to MRO! Live the focused power on bubbles! Highly underrated in the super powered community. XD Speaking as the resident waterbender (Jorge), happy to see a new liquid(ish)mancer aboard! Hope you have fun here!
Roxie hopped up the second that Javier disengaged from her girls. As much as she enjoyed the sensation, now certainly wasn’t the right time. First of all, she had just met him, and second there was the fact that there was a giant penguin waddling through the emptying zoo. They needed to tackle the priorities first, clearly. Once Javier was up, Roxie stood and dusted herself off, cautiously watching the penguin that, thankfully, wasn’t being all that much of a threat.
Though she would have flirted after having practically been motorboated, she restrained herself and instead inquired what was going on.
>>"Sorry... Uh... giant animals coming out of the zoo?... I guess it's a mutant"
”Yeah, no shit,” she smirked. She had to catch herself before falling over thanks to the penguin’s massive step. Her gaze snapped away from the penguin and to Javier. Out of ideas she shrugged her shoulders, seemingly at a loss for what to do next...
>>"I'm sure the X-men will show up soon..."
Roxie sighed. As much as she didn’t want to admit it, maybe Javier was right. She could feel her powers popping in and out, who knows how much longer she could maintain it. Carefully she turned back to her new friend, satisfied that the Penguin wasn’t hurting anyone.
”Okay. We...just wait. The X-Men will be here soon. Meanwhile, we’ll just...manage and make sure everyone gets OUUUUUUTTTTTTT!”
Her voice trailed off. A fox, a very large fox, seized her by the mid-section, growled and began to carry her deeper into the zoo. She snapped, throwing her fists into the beast’s face but her powers were waning now and she was barely making any damage. Worst of all, she could feel her skin scraping against the beast’s teeth. A few more seconds and she was at a break risk but being bit in half!
Roxie knew when the play hard and when to play soft. Diana was a sweetheart and she didn’t want to do anything to make her uncomfortable. Her abilities could be scary, yes, especially with someone who didn’t have control. But Roxie had control. Yes her abilities could wane but she knew the circumstances that can lead to that and, if the night went as she hoped, she knew things would be okay. But she was asking a lot, of someone who had just met her that day.
Still, Diana didn’t seem completely off put. She was nervous but that was to be expected. As she edged closer, Roxie could see the resolution in the woman’s face and a smile drew across her lips. >>”Well, don’t rule anything out...And thank you, seriously. Upfront honesty, I can do.”
Roxie nodded wordlessly. For as much of a horndog as she could be, she wasn’t one to press someone to spend time with her. Usually the second she got the hint of a “No”, she was already moving on. If there was one thing that the bouncer could respect, it was the space of another. But Diana wasn’t requesting “space”. One glance of her eyes and Roxie could tell she was willing to see where the night took her; she was a fan of that.
So why not see? Stepping forward, the brunette observed the dance floor to ensure that everything was fine then turned her earthy gaze back over. She eyed Diana for a few moments, looking from her feet, up past her curves, and to her angelic, yet exotic, face. And then she offered her a dance. The floor looked to be behaving and if management wanted to push her for not doing her job, she could just say she was getting “up close and personal” with the it.
>>”Lead the way, hun.”
Fingers interlaced with her’s and Roxie’s smile on grew wider. She led on, pulling Diana gently away from the bar and towards the dance floor. She waded through the crowd like a boatman on a still lake, parting the people ahead of her. As an energetic song poured through the speakers, Roxie finally managed to punch through the membrane of dancers into a pocket of peace. It was here that she stopped and turned around, facing Diana. She wasn’t aware of the other’s dance style so Roxie started slow, staying close, and moving her hips in beat with the song.
No matter how longer, the dancer in her could never be quelled.
