[It'd been a lazy weekend for Thom in Cadelle, now that the dust had settled and he found himself more and more comfortable in his apartment within the city he'd finally reached a time that he was able to enjoy himself. Not that he'd been completely incapable of enjoyment back home but his life had been distinctly different; back in his own New York he had to work three jobs while going to school, keeping up with basketball practice, teaching down at the community centre and his work with the League? It was safe to say that the last six months of his life were his busiest and now the sharp contrast of life in Cadelle left him feeling like he had some breathing room. After all, generating positive energy was one hell of an easy job compared to all of that.

This evening, his mind was entirely focused on that aspect of his new lifestyle and one of the best ways of generating that kind of energy was to involve another person. He'd gotten to know Peter well enough since they'd both arrived within the city, firstly person to person and later hero to hero; they were quite similar in certain respects and their own dual identities was one of them. He saw some of himself in Peter but more than that, Peter had some qualities that Thom found inspiring, he was certainly more comfortable in himself than Thom had been on first arrival to the city and thanks to the other young hero Thom was getting there slowly but surely.

It made sense then that Thom wanted to give a little back, to make Peter feel good the same way the other boy had set Thom's mind at ease in that first network post and tonight was apparently the night to do it. It wasn't as if either of them had to go off and patrol the city or do anything so consuming that they couldn't enjoy something simple so Thom was quick to call the other boy using his communicator, sitting on the edge of his couch with his leg bouncing faintly nervously, hoping Peter would pick up the phone.]

( Cadelle was a different place entirely for Peter. He was used to the life of a high school student where he was largely ignored, occasionally teased and taunted by people like Flash. Here, it wasn't anything like that.

People were seemed so friendly from the get go. They extended a hand of friendship so easily and offered invitations for more as if it were the most natural thing in the world. He had to remind himself constantly that it was for these people. In a place where good things were literally a way to ensure your quality of life, it would be counterproductive to be anything but welcoming.

Still, the people from other worlds who'd come to the city seemed to adjust to things easily. And a lot of them were pretty cool as far as Peter was concerned. He'd made more friends than he'd had his whole life in this place alone, and honestly, Peter found himself not sure what to do sometimes. It was a pleasant feeling to be wanted, to be sought out for attention, but sometimes, it seemed a bit overwhelming.

Peter never let that stop him from spending time with others, though. One person he spent a lot of time with, he realized, was Thom. It seemed easier with him than others, as if they were both feeling out a new world and acceptance among others together. Their situations were different, but it was nice to know that someone else out there was adjusting to a new place in a similar way. So when he called him, Peter was more than happy to answer pretty quickly. )

Hey man! ( He greeted cheerfully, cradling the device between his shoulder and ear as he mixed a few things together in a glass container. ) What's up?

[When Peter answered the phone Thom got both a spike of excitement and faint nervousness simultaneously, as if he suddenly realised that this was what he was doing and it was beyond the kind of thing he'd comfortably do at home. It either spoke to the fact that he was developing some degree of confidence here in Cadelle or simply that Peter was finally the right kind of person for Thom to meet.

He moves to speak when his voice cracks and he clears his throat, heat rushing to his face and a nervous laugh at his own behaviour.] Uh hey Peter... you doing anything? [He should've at least waited for an answer but the words are tumbling out of his mouth without any further thought.] So I was thinking you could totally come to my place tonight, we could watch a movie... I'll make dinner? [Why was he offering to make dinner, why did he have no control of his life.]

I mean that sounds kind of like a date but its not a date, I just want company... maye we could just do popcorn? I mean, whatever you want... [Please stop him Peter, take the shovel out of his hands.]
