When it came to dating, it was nice to have time alone with Clark. But really, they weren't able to socialize with other couples because in his world it would mean keeping too many secrets. So today April had an idea.

She arranged for a table for four at a nice diner that had a beautiful view of the Tiber River. And close by, there was an alleyway that would allow privacy for those with PINpoint to arrive for the lunch. After that was all arranged, April sent out two invitations.

To Kairos: Hey Kairos, I would like to invite you and Connor to a lunch with me and Clark. PINpoint coordinates are attached. It is a nice casual event. I hope you can attend.

Then to Clark: Hey sweetie. I thought it would be nice to spend some time with another couple who met in the Nexus. I have invited Kairos and Connor to lunch, and would love you at my side. PINpoint coordinates are attached. See you soon!

With that done, all that is left is to wait.

((Aww. Hope you feel better...))

Vampires and demons... they're making Connor feel almost normal. He watches and listens, one eyebrow rising a little, then interjects slowly, "I... haven't been in the Nexus long, I guess. All of that is normal, here?"

((ooc: no problems. Clark-mun at work for another hour or so))

"There are several creatures of myth and legend in this world. Witches, demons, vampires, fairies. It is an interesting dimension."

"I wish I could introduce you to Buffy. The Slayer. But she still hasn't returned from her fight with a really bad vampire."

Kai nods seriously. "Back home, too. My best friend Hyou is a werepanther. Sweet guy."

"Is Buffy okay?"

"I've never had competition for weird, before." He smirks faintly, blissfully unaware that he may be marginally insulting April. Connor will never win a prize for tact. He glances at Kairos, because she's mentioned Hyou plenty, but never that he's a werepanther. Now he's going to be wondering about everyone else they mention.

"...And that's okay. I'm not good with people."

"I think you would find Buffy interesting Connor. She is the best sword woman our world has."

"I don't know if she will be or not. My father went to find her. She was kidnapped by a vampire. And that's a tough situation. Being kidnapped. You just have to wait... and be strong."

Kairos frowns. It sounds like April knows from experience. "I hope so. I'm sure she will be." Suddenly she's not so hungry anymore.

Connor scowls, and puts down everything. Kairos is uneasy, but he's inclined to take it to the next level. "Shouldn't somebody be doing something about it?" His tone half suggests that if somebody points him in the right direction, he'll take on that job.

"My father, another Slayer and a witch went to rescue her. And they have done this sort of thing before. I think it will work out."

"We do have some amazing weapons back home though."

"Oh.. I see. Well if you're positive.." And then her curiosity gets the better of her. "Like what?"

He's not exactly satisfied by the answer, but he's also got no way to go do anything about the situation. "Keep us updated." He finishes his second beer, and pokes idly at the last of his pizza slice.

Clark's heard some of April's story before, so he concentrates mostly on eating while he listens. "Her friends sound pretty capable. I haven't met any of them yet, but judging by the sparring room, they can handle themselves."

"An assortment of martial weapons. Swords, katanas, axes, and some with magically enchanted. Clark and I had sparred with those weapons before."

The pizza is almost completely gone. April figured it was time for dessert. And calling the waiter over, she ordered eight cannolis.

"Cool. John's offered to teach me how to shoot a gun and use a sword.. but.." Kairos shrugs. "I get the feeling I'd slice or shoot off a hand or something."

((deepest apologies. Still sick.))

Connor pushes back his plate a little, looking thoughtful. "I've already got one student from the Nexus, but I could take others. I'm not a nice teacher," He smiles, and it's not a nice smile, "But I know how to use a sword."

"I'm not really a weapon-user either," Clark says to Kairos. "I'm more of a hands-on sort of guy." He can use a sword, as he and April both know, but he's not trained at it at all and relies a lot on his invulnerability in combat.

"I was sort of trained by the Demons who raised me. But I am no where on the same level as Buffy. Or my father. Or even you Connor."

"I had one self defense class with the Aristans before I wound up in Louisiana. I was taught some ... tricks by Savitar and his buddies, but for the most part.." she smiles a little bit. "The only weapons I have are 'kill them with kindness' and, you know, tornadoes."

"I'm only as good as I have to be to survive." He shrugs, showing some modesty, and gives Kairos a sheepish smile. "Tornadoes are pretty effective."

Clark is curious. "Tornadoes? Like... little personal tornadoes that you can control and direct, or just overall weather pattern disruption?"

April too seemed interested in learning more.

"Yes," she says, opening her palm to reveal a small - maybe three inches tall - tornado forming. She lets it drop onto the table, where it swirls about, rattling some of the silverware and napkins on the table. It doesn't manage to actually hit anything, though, and after a moment it dies down.

"I can handle natural ones, too, except those tend to include a storm." Nature-made are supposed to be harder to control, considering their wildness, but Kairos hasn't ever had a problem with those.

Connor's just as glad to have the focus off himself, and he's seen a few small displays of her power before now, so he just sits back and smiles faintly in admiration.

Clark's impressed, and he watches the teensy tornado with a faint smile. It's a much better exercise of power than he normally gets to see in Smallville. "That must come in handy."

"Those are very awesome Kairos." April had never seen a tornado in real life before and was amused at the tiny ones.

"Aww, thanks! The energy in the big ones are .. scary but amazing."
