Harry, Illyana, and Shinobi, at the Oscorp Gala

[om_kobalos]

Harry introduces the Minion to Shinobi. Absurdity ensues--as it usually does, where Shinobi is involved. Illyana takes to it nicely.

( Please, Harry. It's the sort of challenge a blond teacup poodle offers a five-hundred-pound panther. )

Jean-Paul and Simon, backdated 9/13/14

[om_northstar]

Jean-Paul and Simon conduct a brief emergency meeting once Harry breaks the big news.

( If I'd known Osborn was going to pull that stunt, I'd never have left the house tonight. )

Alisha and Pietro, Backdated to September 13

[om_fatale]

Summary: Alisha gets a surprise visit from Pietro who tries to convince her to come home.

( So come home and get what you want, and please, for the love of god, do not let Scott Summers rob you of that chance. )

Dick and Harry at the Oscorp Gala

[om_kobalos]

Harry's cynicism is no match for Dick's perpetual cheer, apparently.

( It's kind of nice, actually. Like joining a club with all your friends. Or going to summer camp or something. Except, y'know, not. Something like that anyway. I never actually went to summer camp so I actually have no clue what I'm saying. )

Phil and Jean-Paul, backdated 9/13/14

[om_northstar]

Jean-Paul fills Philip in on his time in Alpha Flight.

( Our immediate neighbors definitely seem to be lacking in the ethics department. )

Harry and Tony, at the Oscorp Gala

[om_ironman]

After Harry's big speech, Tony stops by for congratulations and gossip.

​( Who knew the business world was so kind. )

Illyana and Harry, before the Oscorp Gala

[om_kobalos]

Before the guests arrive, Harry takes the minion on a tour with ulterior motives. Illyana gets a better sense of what her minion position could entail. They are, as usual, brats.

( Awww, you mean we're not really going to make out on your dad's desk? )

Pete and Steve R, backdated to Sept 13

[om_patriot]

On the night of the Oscorp Gala, Steve and Pete get together to Definitely Not Sulk.

( Do you like Risk? )

Jean-Paul and Harry, at the Oscorp Gala

[om_kobalos]

Harry meets the famous (and vaguely piratey) Jean-Paul Beaubier at last. Jean-Paul meets the Osborn heir. They discuss the school, Alpha Flight, and self-marketing strategies over a glass of champagne.

( My first public appearance since Alpha Flight and I come out looking like a Bond villain. )

Cersei and Harry, then Illyana, at the Oscorp Gala

[om_kobalos]

Harry introduces his minion Illyana to his replacement supermodel 'ally' Cersei. Cersei is catty, Illyana holds her own, and Harry is entertained... until Illyana decides she's had enough.

( So, if she pulls that crap again and I slap her, it's all good because it'll stir things up in the papers even more? )

Lil and Pietro, then Lil and Brian; Sept 13

[om_diamondlil]

Pietro and Lil catch up, fort and whiskey style. Backdated to Saturday, Sept 13.

( You would've stayed, if it had been good, you mean? For real? )

Later, Brian comes home to a scene that is both familiar and not.

( C'mere and tell Cinderella all about the ball. )

Betsy and Dick (Sept. 13)

[om_psylocke]

Betsy meets Dick Grayson at the Oscorp event without realizing she'll be seeing him again under very different circumstances.

( Please tell me you're not secretly a reporter. I'm not sure my heart could handle it )

Vance and Illyana, post-gala | Backdated to 9/13/14

[om_magik]

After having Taco Bell with Harry post-gala, Illyana goes on a completely different kind of date

( I don't think anyone could ever call you boring )

Tony and Dick, 9/13

[om_ironman]

At the Oscorp Gala, Tony and Dick run into each other and decide to get reacquainted. Turns out of they have a few more things in common.

​
​( Seeing a lot more familiar faces than I'm used to seeing around these parts lately. )
