MCA #9 | Monday Morning
When Annie's alarm went off this morning, it was still dark outside, which was very normal considering how early she typically got up for training.
What was decidedly not normal was how she was in bed in her Starlight outfit, which was decidedly not comfortable, though thankfully her boots had been discarded in the middle of the floor at some point before she'd clambered into bed last night. It was also abnormal that Annie was alone in said bed, since she'd gotten kind of used to having Diego there.
That was explained pretty quickly, once she padded out to the living room and found him on the couch. "Good morning," she whispered, lightly perching on the arm of the couch and reaching out to touch his shoulder.
Hopefully he wasn't too mad about having to babysit all weekend.
[for he who took the couch]

"Well instead of holding a donut like a normal person you kind of crushed them in your hand," Diego said. "That might have something to do with it."
no subject
So it was probably a good thing he'd walked that 'arrest' thing back as quickly as he had.
no subject
And Diego didn't even know about all the nannies Vanya killed! Oatmeal was not that bad, Vanya, sheesh...

"We really did have to call the power company," Annie told him with a sheepish smile as she tugged on an oversized shirt and wandered over to join him. "And if you ask Mom, I blinded the doctor who delivered me. I can't even imagine what it'd be like with six little superpowered kids around."
Seriously. Plus a totally normal little kid, too!

"Depends on who I was throwing stuff at," he said, wrapping an arm around her. "It really would only work on Luther. It didn't hurt him but he'd get mad, which is the whole point. Klaus would just make a joke, Five could disappear, Ben and Vanya gave you no reason to bother them."
"And Allison...well you don't mess with Allison." Unless you wanted to be rumored into doing something truly embarrassing.
no subject
"Making Luther mad seems like a whole hobby you could get into," Annie decided thoughtfully, sighing happily and snuggling closer. "And yeah, I would not mess with Allison. I don't think there's anyone back home like her - my friend Countess is kind of similar, but her powers don't have the same kind of casual exploitation potential. I feel like I'd use that all the time."
Which, you know, Allison's siblings had probably not appreciated.
no subject
"I always wondered if that was how she got the career she has." He didn't remember her being all that talented acting growing up but, really, when did they get the chance to explore stuff like that?
no subject
She would just hope that it was a coincidence, though.

She honestly wasn't sure how she'd feel about being really famous, when and if the time came. Saving people was awesome, helping was great - doing skincare ads was...a part of it she'd learn to deal with. It was weird enough having people ask for the occasional autograph at Believe Expo.
no subject
He pretty much thought it would be a 'when' not an 'if' for her. And he wasn't not just being a supportive boyfriend there. Look at her powers, they were awesome!
no subject
Probably not.
"If it happened, would that be weird for you?" she wondered, running her fingers lightly down his arm. "Walking red carpets with me, and all that?"
Pff, like Annie's agent would allow Diego anywhere near a red carpet, please.
no subject
Her PR team would agree, Diego, don't worry.
no subject
Truth. Until someone tried to get an interview with Starlight's boyfriend.
"But like, also maybe I could just have an intense private life, like Black Noir." Sure, that would totally be allowed.
no subject
Though Diego was guessing he got to skip out on interviews on the red carpet.
no subject
Granted, Stormfront had been light on the details of what was actually in her backpack, but Annie had read it, all the same.
"Think I might have to just get good at lying," she decided, making a face. Because really, she was so bad at it.
no subject
To be fair, Diego wasn't great at lying either. Mostly because he never felt the need to.
no subject
Except for being adorable.
no subject
no subject
To be fair, several different adults shared that blame.

And even then, they'd both gotten in trouble for it a few times.
