"Yeah its ok I dont get out much myself handling Lex is a 24 hour job but fortunately he is a bit of a socialite so part of my job is getting out with him but I dont do much socializing of my own. but I do know what good expensive booze is" Eve giggle at the end. Eve held her glass out to offer a toast "to being stuck on the job but still making it ladies night" She giggled some more. "To having fun on the job," echoed Wanda as she raised her glass in toast, clinking it against Eve's taking a drink. "May they never cease."Daimon looked at Wanda and Eve and suddenly marched across the room, leaving his gin and tonic at the bar, thanks to the Synchronicity Highway the people milling about the event seemed to move out of his way, "Wanda, love. Can I have a word with you?" "If you'll excuse me a moment, Eve. This shouldn't take to long," Wanda told her new friend rolling her eyes. Downing the remains of the glass she stood up. "What is it now, Constantine?" She asked as she began moving out of ear shot.

Damien sat back and watched Lex and Logan partake in a very odd pissing contest, Lex really had no idea what kind of man he had positioned himself against it didn't take much to realize that Lex was trying to assert himself on Logan mentally, just the slightest inkling on what psychic power was. The fact that they were at odds was apparent to everyone with eyes, despite the fact that there we're doing there best to hide it behind personas, pomp and pageantry; animosity is impossible to mask. Out of pure boredom Damien released a small spray of pheromones designed to intensify animosity, hoping to stir the pot a bit more.

This shouldn't take to long," Wanda told her new friend rolling her eyes. Downing the remains of the glass she stood up. "What is it now, Constantine?" She asked as she began moving out of ear shot. "Oh um ok" Eve said as she drank watching Wanda walk away with the mysterious looking man.

Logan smiled he felt the telepathic force from Lex and thanks to his own mental disciplines it would take a lot more than as subtle command to control him, "Get it yourself Lex, or leave whichever you prefer."He nodded to Lorina, "Good luck with your auction, darling." <ok Logan I wont make a scene here because I have found company I rather enjoy, other than your lovely young ward that is, how is she by the way did she receive my gift or are you denying her even that? no matter that is a discussion for another place and time. right now I will have no more of your defiance Logan! FETCH ME A GLASS. and you will know your proper place Logan, the mere fact that you are hearing this means I'm already deep enough inside your mind to ruin you. move against me and everyone here finds your dirty little secrets.>"Fine Logan I'll serve myself if you are just bent on being a terrible host and server" Lex rolled his eyes and moved towards the bar. "Hal do you really think any government contract is clean? someone paid someone to make sure Stark Air got a contract from the air force it may not have been you or anyone in your company but someone stands to gain from you working for the DOD and because of the some senator or committee chairmen got a hefty sum to make it happen. But dont fret its just how business is done I'm sure if business were done "fairly" you would still be contracted I have nothing but kind words for Stark Air" "Well that's very kind of you, Lex. Then again, your company did buy a few of our private luxury models, so I would hope you would have kind words for Stark Aircraft. As for the government, as long as they keep buying planes, I'm a happy man."

"What is it now, Constantine?" She asked as she began moving out of ear shot. Constantine looked at Wanda and simply stated, "I believe Strangefate said it to you once before, but I'll say it again. Did you consider the idea of being a Shadow Defender meant staying in the shadows... and not mentioning True Magick at the first opportunity that presented itself."

"That's my bad," apologized Wanda after a few moments thought. "But it's just been so nice to be able to talk to someone that either isn't a fan or trying to take my soul. I could always erase her memory if it'll make you happy." She figured it may pay to erase Frost's memory while she was at it, just in case...

As the others were talking Selina was getting bored. She took Stark by the arm and walked him away from the bar. "Sorry about that, but if I had to stay there another moment I would have died from boredom."

Hal breathed a sigh of relief as Selina led him away. The tension had been starting to get to him. "Same here. I was getting tired of seeing Logan and Lex butt heads."

"I think the Lex guy just likes to prove he has the bigger bank account if you catch my drift." said Selina. "Though I'm sure his bank account is nowhere near as big as he thinks."

Hal couldn't help but laugh. It was rather funny to watch the two get into a dick measuring contest. "Well, I like to stay away from petty shit like that. Kind of a crying shame that you have to deal with this kind of stuff often."

"Tell me about. Sometimes I ask myself why I didn't stay self employed." said Selina. "So what were we talking about before we were interrupted?"

"I believe I was wondering why a woman as beautiful and successful as you came to a party like this alone." Hal said with a wink.

"By choice really. I haven't found a man who can handle me yet." she said with a seductive smile. Screw the job, she was going to enjoy herself with this young human while she could.

"Maybe you haven't looked in the right places. Most of the guys at these things are all talk and fat wallets anyway." Hal said, stepping a bit closer to Selina. He was very quickly forgetting why he was even there in the first place.

"So I've noticed." said Selina staring back at him. She gave him a look that said "Well? I'm waiting."

Hal finally gave in to temptation. The bidding didn't start for a while anyway. He pulled Selina close to him, kissing her passionately.

Selina kissed him back before pulling back for a second. "Why Mr. Stark. That's very forward of you. One would think you would save activity like that for more private areas." she said with a grin.

"Well there are plenty of places to hide away. That was just a taste of what's to come." Hal said with a wink.

"Well what else did you have in mind?" asked Selina, letting Stark take the lead for now.

"Well, sadly we have to be a bit quick about it, but I was thinking of whisking you away for a bit and showing you why they call me 'Iron Hal'." Hal said.
