Maya insisted they stay for the afterparty meet and greet...the one thing he absolutely wanted to avoid. The shit with the press and glad-handing, the shit where he’d most likely be bothered by those who thought he’d like to talk about how he’d supposedly killed his brother and saved the world five years ago. But here he was, doing his best not to be noticed, while Maya gushed to Dazzler about what a big fan she was and how she sang too, but no where near as good. …At least she was having a great time.
Orson’s eye caught the night’s other performer as she sipped a cocktail while a man spoke to her; the moment he left she stood and headed over. Orson watched with interest between drags off his cigarette as her eyes set, narrowed in, on him. She was coming over with a mission.
“You’re Mr Shaw.” “I’m a Mr Shaw,” he smiled out of his drag.
“No, you’re the Mr Shaw,” she countered as she sat with a smile of her own. “Mr Orson Shaw.”
“And you’re Siren, the Siren.”
“Izzy Cadence.” She set her emptied glass down, her refill came immediately. “You enjoying the night so far?”
“Drinks are good.”
“That’s all?”
“My daughter’s enjoying herself, that’s what’s most important.”
“You’re sweet.” Izzy took a deep breath to steel herself. “Can I ask you something?”
“I’m a Scorpio.”
“I’m sorry?”
Orson set his drink down for a refill. “My sign…that’s what you were going to ask, right?”
She laughed with a shake of her head. “No…no, I was going to ask how you survived that day…five years ago.”
“You asking or is he?” His cigarette pointed to the man who’d been speaking to her prior.
Izzy turned to Garrett, then back. “That’s my manager and I’m asking.”
“Luck.”
“That’s it?” She didn’t believe him by a long-shot.
“That’s it.”
“…And if my manager was asking?”
Orson smirked. “I’d tell him to grow some fuckin’ balls and ask me himself. And, after he did that, I’d still tell him to sod off.”
Izzy smiled. “Glad I’m not him.”
“So am I.”
Holy fuck, I actually wrote something...and then posted it!! Mind fucking blown, ya’ll!! Also, obviously, I’m alive and (relatively) well, just been crazy busy with real life shit. I’ll still be pretty sparse around here, honestly, but at least we know I had enough time to do something, right guys? RIGHT?!?! (This is the event discussed by Orson, Wade, and Carey here, by the way.)
