Dark Lovers (Dark Nella)

[Ask Thatguy]

(OCC: Dark Nella/Ask Thatguy thread. March 4th, evening)

Ask Thatguy sighed, finally alone with his thoughts. His members were all asleep but he felt a bit unhappy with his situation. Not only did the fact of facilier's betrayal enter a serious issue to him but also a serious issue in his team. They lost a lot of things during the betrayal and ATG was forced to handle the punishment, losing time to himself, or to Dark Nella herself who also had to deal with the problems. He felt like as if he was not a good fiance or just a good person to her in general, sure she never complained but ATG knew she eventually would and he felt terrible. He rubbed his head, thinking of how to handle all the problems in his mind while still finding a way to make his love happy. He was so depressed into his own thoughts he didn't notice Dark Nella actually coming to see him.

[Dark Nella/Nella Black]

Dark Nella sighed as she walked out. She hadn't really spent much time with Ask That Guy alone in a long time. They were with their kids, or at meetings. Or training. Or fighting in battles. She missed hanging out with him. She smiled seeing him as she walked up to him. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and smiled. She took a seat on the couch and patted it.

"Come join me. We don't spend much time together. We should change that. We could let Loki watch the kids and just go out on the town. At least for a dinner sometime." said Dark Nella.

She smiled seeing he was in deep thought wondering what he was worrying about. Maybe she could help him. Or at least distract him.

[Ask Thatguy]

Ask Thatguy's attention quickly went to his fiance, and smiled as she finally was alone with him, he touched his cheek playfully before walking over and sitting next to the couch and listened to her suggestions of alone time. He seemed to forget about Loki's past, since he thought leaving the children alone with him was a great idea, and he nodded at the idea. Ask Thatguy looked at her caringly before responding "Sounds fantastic. I want to spend more time with you my beloved. It's just..." He sighed "All the stuff happening took my attention and that didn't seem fair to you. I want to spend time with you. Just for sometime" He held her hand and looked into her eyes as they sat on the couch "So we'll go anywhere you wish, name the place and I will take us there, money is no object" He chuckled "If Loki handled a black hole I am sure he can handle a few children. Besides, Jim Hawkins is around and can help him if he needed it" He looked at the clock distractedly and responded "Say we go now since...well.. nobody needs us at the moment" He smiled waiting for her answer.

[Dark Nella/Nella Black]

Dark Nella grinned.

"It takes two to tango my love. It didn't help your second in command Insano joined Facilier's army. We never replaced him or made generals to lighten our load. It's just been the two of us leading this army. And that made it harder for us to spend some time together." said Dark Nella.

She paused and grinned.

"Perhaps Loki. He's a god and Pinocchio's quite fond of him. And there's also Natasha. With her knowledge of spy tactics, and weaponry she'd be a great ally as well. Of course we can decide this later." said Dark Nella.

She grinned as he took her hand and said they could go anywhere and money was no object.

"Well if we're going to do this then why don't we leave Chicago? Go somewhere romantic. Like Paris or Italy. Just for a few hours. With my powers and our technology we could be gone for awhile and be back if anyone really needs us in a flash." said Dark Nella.

And the new setting would do them some good. As they'd both been cooped up in this house for too long outside of fighting and rescue missions. This could be fun for them both. She chuckled saying if Loki could handle a black hole he could handle the children.

"So could Duke Nukem or any of the others here as well. I think we have enough baby sitters here if Loki needs the extra help." said Dark Nella.

She grinned as he said they should go now since no one needed them.

"I think we should tell Loki at least. It just wouldn't seem right leaving him a note and dumping this on him. After all what if he had plans with La tonight? I'd feel bad if we made him cancel his plans so we could have fun. This way if he's busy we could get someone else to watch the kids." said Dark Nella.

(ooc: Talking to Loki could be done in a time skip to keep the thread moving unless you want to bring in loki for a post or two.)

[Ask Thatguy]

(OCC: Yeah I can bring in loki for at least two posts then we'll resume the date to just nella and ATG. I don't mind loki being asked to babysit XD)

"He's still been assumed to be under Facilier's control. Damn that magician traitor. He ruined the whole army with his scheme" Ask Thatguy harshly commented, rubbing his face, but calming down to try and listen. Realizing that Dark Nella suggested promoting new people to general status. He then pondered over natasha and loki, and he responded "We can promote them both. Natasha is extremely intelligent and capable and as you said about loki, he's a god and our son trusts him. Other than the fact he's a god, he knows magic quite well and is extremely confident, something this team needs" He shrugged and smiled, feeling better about the chance to get the work load off him with other people.

He then perked up at the idea of actually going away, even for one night, to someplace romantic where the both of them could go. He grinned cheerfully and responded "I like italy myself. I say we go there. That is a extremely perfect idea my dear" Ask Thatguy nodded as Nella said that Loki could always get help from Duke Nukem or someone else if the children were fussy or something. He then was about to get ready but Nella reminded him that they should ASK the god first before they made plans. It would be rude. Ask Thatguy nodded and responded "Yes. We should go and ask him. Come let us go find him then we can get ready if he accepts" He walked with Nella to find the god and found him reading a book on the living room couch. "Ah loki. Are you busy? My fiance and I have a question to ask you" He turned to her with a smile and asked politely "Could you possibly be willing to watch over our son and the other children while my fiance and I go for a date? If you have plans we do not wish to trouble you"
XXXXX

Loki was honestly very tired this evening. He spent the whole day training with La, testing out magic with Black Lantern Spoony, fooling around with his own magic just to increase his strength and finally, handling inward struggles of his new awareness of his brother Thor being actually in the battle alongside him. He just felt like staying at the house and reading his book or going to rest, after all even Gods deserved a break. He then turned to see ATG, the leader and his love Dark Nella come over to the living room to see him. Ask Thatguy then asked that if he was busy because the two had a question for him. The god smiled "Oh? And what question that might be?" He waited for his answer and his smile slightly increased at the question/request to watch over the children for the night while the two went off.

The god recalled the two, ever since he came here, never had a chance for a break or time to themselves. They always worked. Even Loki felt honestly bad that these two were suffering quite a lot. The god coughed slightly and responded "So you wish for me to babysit the children?" He chuckled in amusement and saw the two wait for his answer. He looked at his hand then looked to the two leaders again, then with a nod he responded "Of course. I will be more than willing to watch the children. I felt like I wished to stay here anyway. Thank you for asking me instead of going off. Tis better to know your duties than to instantly be commanded of them" He shrugged at that.

[Dark Nella/Nella Black]

Dark Nella nods.

"Well hopefully we'll rescue Mechakara and the others. But for now I just want tonight to be about us." said Dark Nella.

She paused with a grin as he agreed with her suggestions of promotions.

"If we think of others besides Loki and Natasha we can promote them later. Although I do think if Insano is one of the brainwashed people he should get his second in command job back. We haven't really replaced him yet and I think we should wait until we know for sure if Insano betrayed us or not." said Dark Nella.

She grinned.

"Italy it is. I think we'll have a lot of fun there." said Dark Nella.

She smiled as they headed to Loki and asked him. When he said he could babysit the children while they went on a date she smiled.

"Thanks Loki. We owe you one." said Dark Nella.

She grinned turning to Ask That Guy.

"Perhaps we should meet back here in about a half hour so we have time to get ready." said Dark Nella.

She grinned heading off to their room.

- Time Skip -

A flash of black energy as Dark Nella appeared in an abandoned alleyway in Italy. She was dressed in an elegant black dress. She still wore her traditional black makeup as she stepped to the side waiting for Ask That Guy to join her.

[Ask Thatguy]

Ask Thatguy nodded at Nella's suggestions and listened as Loki was willing to babysit for them. He nodded in agreement to owing Loki a favor in return for this and immediately thought of promotion due to the conversation earlier to this. He especially grinned and followed Dark Nella upstairs to their room to get ready for their good night out

*Time Skip*

Ask Thatguy flashed with nella's dark magic energy in a nice red suit with a blue tie and his pipe in handy. He quickly went over to Dark Nella and smiled as she was in her elegent dress. "You look ravishing darling" He said as he held her hand and he offered to walk about italy. He sighed "This is nice. Just the two of us"

[Dark Nella/Nella Black]

Dark Nella grinned at him as he complimented her.

"And you look very handsome." said Dark Nella.

She took his hand and grinned.

"Yes it is. I think we should appoint Loki and Natasha soon. And think of any other generals to appoint. That way we can slip away for a bit even just a few hours to spend more time like this. I mean I think this is the first time we've really been alone since that first week we formed this army. And that was nearly two months ago. I don't want our next date to be in two months or three. I know we can't go out every night but at least once a week I'd prefer." said Dark Nella.

She grinned as they kept walking.

"I think we should find a place and eat outside. The sun's about to set and we could have a nice view of it and the stars." said Dark Nella.

[Ask Thatguy]

Ask Thatguy took pride in Dark Nella's comment and held her hand, and as they walked he listened to her discussion over appointing Loki and Natasha as generals, as well as some others. He nodded "Yes. Soon we'll appoint loki and natasha. Also I was thinking of Hades or Black Lantern Spoony. What do you think dearest?" He then nodded in agreement at the fact they needed to go out more and that this was the first time in two months that they spent time together. He quickly agreed "Ah yes. Indeed. We definitely need to catch up" He smirked "Once a week or something down the line sounds absolutely perfect to me"

He then nodded at the idea of eating outside "Sounds splending. The atmosphere is absolutely breathtaking. Do you know of any places here that are especially good to dine at? It is your night as well as mine, lovely" He kissed her cheek tenderly after saying that.

[Dark Nella/Nella Black]

Dark Nella grinned at him.

"Perhaps we should appoint all of them. The four of them would be great additions. Two gods, a black lantern, and a weapon expert. The four of them could help whip this army into shape. We lost a chunk of our army when Facilier formed his little rebellion. He's even got new members as well last I heard. We need to ready to fight Facilier and Critic's armies the next we meet." said Dark Nella.

She grinned as she smiled.

"I'm glad we finally get this time together." said Dark Nella.

She paused with a grin as he agreed they should hang out at least once a week.

"Good. If I have to kidnap you for a few hours just to spend time with you I will." said Dark Nella.

She chuckled showing she was kidding but she wanted to spend more time with him. He was her fiance after all and they'd barely spend much time alone together. She smiled as he agreed to eat outside.

"Great. If we don't find a good place that has outdoor dining. Then maybe we could take some food to go and find a bench or a park we could sit at. I just feel like eating outside tonight." said Dark Nella.

[Ask Thatguy]

"Sounds fine to me. I trust them all so why not? Besides, they're powerful. We need powerful people to lead our army" Ask Thatguy said in completely agreement. He made a disgusted face as Dark Nella reminded him that Facilier most likely had new members due to his rebellion. That they needed to be ready to fight two armies instead of one now. He simply nodded after a while, not in the mood to completely talk about it when the two were on their date.

Ask Thatguy smiled as Dark Nella did say that she was glad they had time together. "Me too. It's really nice" He then smiled at Nella's joke, chuckling also and nodding "Hey, if you kiddnapped me I'd probably be turned on instead of freaked out" He shrugged casually as they continued to talk about where to eat. He nodded at her suggestions that if they couldn't eat outside than they could get food to go and find a bench. "Sounds like a plan to me. Hopefully there is" He looked around to see tons of places to eat but not finding one he or Dark Nella personally liked yet.

[Dark Nella/Nella Black]

Dark Nella grinned.

"Good. Sounds like a plan then. We'll promote Loki, Natasha, and whoever else we choose later." said Dark Nella.

She frowned as well at the mention of Facilier's Army.

"We need to keep an eye on Critic and Facilier's army. Especially for new recruits. We don't need to be surprised by another sorcerer, or super hero or whatever. But let's leave talk of the war at home. Let's just talk about us for now on. We can talk business later." said Dark Nella.

She grinned as Ask That Guy was also glad they had some time together. She chuckled at his comments.

"Just the way I'd like it." said Dark Nella.

She paused as she spotted a nice Italian place and grinned.

"Let's try there. Oh I don't really know Italian. Perhaps I'll cast a translating spell to save time. Anyone who speaks to us we'll hear English and they'll hear whatever language they're speaking. Whether it's Italian or English. can have us speak fluent Italian for the night." said Dark Nella.

She closed her eyes casting a translating spell. Their bodies flashed with black energy for a moment before returning to normal.

"Don't worry. It'll wear off by morning. Let's go inside." said Dark Nella.

[Ask Thatguy]

"Good. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me" Ask Thatguy confirmed on the focus of Loki and many other members of their army being promoted. He continued to give a disgusted look when Dark Nella mentioned Critic and Facilier's armies but nodded to everything she said, including forgetting about them and focus on each other since tonight was pretty much their night. His face grew soft as she responded back to his little quips and he then turned to the italian place "Oooooh. It does look quite lovely" His face grew worried when she said she didn't know italian because he didn't know a lot either but was relieved when she did the translation spell. He then responded "Good. Let us go inside. I'm quite famished"

When he went inside he turned to a young male waiter and responded, knowing the translation spell would work "Pardon me sir. But do you by any chance have a nice table for the two of us? My fiance and I are on a date and we want to make it special"

"Ah! How lovely! Very good, we do indeed have a table for two, just for you. Follow me!" The waiter said calmly, taking two menus and escorting the two to a nice table with a good view of the sunset and the area of italy nearby. Ask Thatguy helped Dark Nella to her seat before he himself went to his and the waiter asked politely "May I start you two off with drinks? I recommend the "lover's take" which is a nice martini with a good flavor of cherry or would you prefer something else?"

[Dark Nella/Nella Black]

Dark Nella grinned as the topic of the war was dropped for now as they headed to the place. She smiled glad the translating spell was working perfectly.

"Remind me to remember this spell. It can be handy for us and others when we go abroad. Perhaps when we take over we can just cast a spell so everyone sounds like they're speaking English to us. I wouldn't want someone to think they can get away with insulting us in another language." said Dark Nella.

As they waiter joined them she smiled as she shook her head.

"This is nice but I prefer an outdoor table. I'd love to see the night sky while we eat. Do you have any?" asked Dark Nella

The waiter paused and nodded.

"Of course miss. Right this way." said the waiter.

He escorted them to a group of tables outside with view of the sky. She grinned at the waiter.

"This is perfect. Thank you." said Dark Nella.

She grinned taking a seat as she paused thinking about drinks.

"I think I'll start with a coke. Maybe get some wine later." said Dark Nella.

She didn't want to drink much alcohol tonight. After all she wanted to remember this night and she could get drunk anytime back home if she wanted to.

[Ask Thatguy]

Ask Thatguy allowed Dark Nella to change the setting mostly because he wanted this night to be hers too. He nodded in agreement to the language spell to make sure of slaves not getting away with anything they said then Nella made the waiter take them to a nicer table with a view of the sky outside. He sat down next to her and responded in agreement "A sprite for me, sir. We'll take wine later please"

The waiter nodded to them both and quickly went to go get drinks. When he returned with the drinks, the waiter responded "Here are your drinks" He gave them the sprite and coke and then responded "For your dinner I would recommend the special steak option but if you find something better on the menu, feel free to choose that!"

"What do you want dear?" Ask Thatguy politely asked
