Fashionably Late....
::across many miles of land and water... in a breath-taking house sitting on acres of pristine tropics, a privately owned component at the tail end of the Virgin Islands... Christy lolls on a deep-seated, leather sofa in the dimming light of dusk.... the whole house trembles, as loud music begins to reverberate throughout... the song, ironically enough... is Enigma's "Silence Must Be Heard".... it's a wonder the house is still standing... as the most unique thing about it... is that it is made almost entirely of glass.... while the frame is made of shined steel... EVERYTHING else is glass... the outer walls are tinted to prevent the house from getting uncomfortably hot... a few sections of glass are shifted aside, like great open windows, allowing the gentle beach breeze to caress the interior of the house... Christy, sitting in nearly the center of her home... stares out through the walls... she remains to see the sun set on the water outside her home... darkness falls and within the home lights automatically switch on.... and she finally lifts herself from the couch...::
::she navigates through her house, her bare feet silent over the warmed glass, which is tinted so dark blue that it looks black... thanks to small lights where the walls are... she successfully avoids running into glass [

]... and she makes her way into her bedroom... shedding her loungewear as the song crescendoes, and trades them for something fit to wear out... an ensemble by none other than Dolce & Gabbana... solid black pants, a large, low slung belt and a revealing black shirt composed entirely of lace... she pulls a matching jet black jacket over the top... leaving it casually open... she fixes black high heel pumps to her feet and she's ready to go... with a completed look of dark elegance... she looks quite the vixen, her eye shadow dark and sultry, a smokey look that she so favored... the song quiets as it ends... its lyrics now a whisper and its rhythm fading... leaving nothing behind but the subtle sound of waves lapping against the beach a few yards away.... and is if on cue, a chime sounds, accompanied by her name... and a spell that makes Christy smirk as if she was expecting it... and she had been...::
"Impeccable Timing."
::she stands again, glancing quickly in a mirror a checking her hair... looking around for a minute... before striding to through her house.... towards the back, where lush greenery can be seen through the walls... and where her white siberian tiger was sauntering in from his nightly hunt...::
"How do i look honey?"
::she says... but way she says it, he only needs to chuff pleasantly... because she doesn't need his answer... she smiles proudly and scratches him behind the ears... leaving him with a few instructions... ::
"Alright, Mama's goin out... don't mess the house... and don't eat Oswald... he doesn't like that very much... plus i don't doubt you still remember the tummy ache he gave you LAST time...

Os... what ARE you doing?"
:: a small creature, gremlin looking, was heaving a suitcase that was bigger than itself... it stops to look up at Ti with an innocent but weathered look...::
"I have packed my belongings, to be ready to take to the lodgings at Hellfire, Madam."
"Oh, don't be silly darling... I'll just buy you NEW things when we get there."
::she said with a bright smile, stooping down to give it a pat on its head... at which it beamed, before giving up on the task... Christy gave Ares a small kiss, and turned to leave, finishing what she was saying...::
"Don't fuss... Os, keep the house tidy... and you two be listening for my summons later..."
::her words lingered as she disappeared... gone from the islands with a shimmering form... heading for the Hellfire Club... what seemed like mere seconds lead her to the wrought iron gates... and she smiled as they drifted open for her... and she made her way to the grand doors of the posh club... a woman's knock and this doors also opened... allowing Christy to enter the club as if she owned the place... she gives an all-knowing smirk as a stunningly tall man looks toward her... she finds the man to be quite attractive... but she masks it easily... and stares confidently back into his bright green eyes... he tosses his dark, careless hair slightly and flashes her a smile... which speaks all too loudly that he likes the woman that just entered... he is in his early twenties, and dressed much like she is... wearing all black... his button down made of black silk... but is thin... so that its slighty transparent and shows his muscled figure well...around his neck he wears a small stone... so brilliantly red that it looks like ruby... it stands out nicely over his half unbuttoned shirt, which portrays a lossened but stylish tone... it gives way nicely to pinstriped black slacks and pricey but rugged looking boots...::
"What brings you here,... uh?"
Man:"Kal-el... hehe... they promised me money, prestige and beautiful women... so far... from where I stand... the beautiful woman's enough to keep me here..."
::Ti lets a soft laugh to let him know she found him funny... so he was a young Superman.... she eyes his necklace... that explains it... red kryptonite... makes him evil... the best kind of superhero...

she glances around.... impressed by what she sees... and continues on with a small conversation::
" Well Kal.... Flattery.... will get you EVERYwhere...

now tell me... to which side were you inducted?"
::he cracks a soft smile... pleased that he's saying the right things... but it fades away... as he answers her question::
"Ah... I haven't been inducted... YET... but you can be sure I'll be a knight before you know it, m'lady. I'm here waiting to escort the Black Queen."
::This brings a smile to Christy's face... and she flips her hair back with an air of elegance... stepping forward and taking his arm...::
"Well... what are you waiting for darling? Escort me."
::He smirks and obeys... obviously happy to not have to wait anymore...and he slides his arm down to take Christy's hand and lead her up the stairs... to where the others have already arrived... as her personal attendant announces her arrival... she flashes Ikaris and Farrah a pearly smile, and greets them each with a hug and...::
Ike:"Sorry I'm late, Ike... I was so amazed by the grandeur of this place... we dawdled a bit on the way here... can you blame us though? :hihi: I dare say... you look quite sharp tonight... gotta admire a man in leather..."
DC:"Hey girl... I DO declare.... you look great too... but are you feeling ok? We can't see as much of your rack as usual, dearest..."
::Christy says with a laugh as she playfully holds the back of her hand to DC's forehead... she gives a wink and a daring smile::
