Faye grinned as well.

"That's awesome," she said. "I should have known you'd be prepared."

Erik smirked and sent them spinning around the girls before widening one into a seat and sitting on it, looking as comfortable as ever.

"I always carry some of these with me."

Faye grinned.

"I shouldn't be surprised," she said. "Makes perfect sense."

"It does," Erik agreed mildly. He flicked a few ball bearings at Tony and Logan, smirking. Logan just tried to cut them in half while Tony ignored them.

Faye snickered when Tony just ignored the ball bearings in favor of pulling apart one of his new gadgets. Yeah, that was typical.

Erik started twirling the balls around Thor, smiling a bit as he played with him. He liked kids, after all. Loki looked faintly relieved.

Thor laughed and jumped for the balls, trying to catch them. He was having a blast playing with them.

Rei smiled and pointed it out to Faye. That was just too adorable.

Faye looked and had to resist an 'awww.' Thor was adorable, and he was clearly having fun.

Rei grinned, just having a lot of fun watching them for a while. Really, it was so fun.

Faye did the same, just settling in for a bit. Tony was playing with his new toys, Thor was playing with Erik, Bruce was supervising Tony... Life was good.

Rei grinned and sat back to watch for a while. Life was indeed good.

Now all they had to do was figure out how to actually catch other bishis in this area without them vanishing first.

Faye had been pondering the issue as well, and hadn't come up with much of an answer yet. Then she glanced at Tony and Bruce, and had an idea.

"Hey, Rei," she said. "The whole two-fer thing... Cals will always gate away, right? But you can't have a Cal without a Niko, right? Supposedly?"

"Yeah, pretty much." As soon as she said it, the same thing dawned on Rei. "So we'd have better luck getting a Niko first because his Cal wouldn't just leave him."

"That's what I'm thinking," Faye said, nodding. "And, even considering that Niko is a superninja, I think he'd be easier to catch than a Cal who can essentially teleport away."

"No kidding. Especially if we have one of our guys keep an eye out for him," Rei agreed.

Faye nodded.

"So, tentative plan?" she asked.

"Tentative plan," Rei agreed with a grin.

"Awesome," Faye said. "Tomorrow is soon enough, I think, right?"

"Should be." Rei shrugged. "I think I've got everything set up for a while, so we can go wandering again."

"I'm all set," Faye said. "So we can head out in the morning." She grinned. "Tony says he'll take on the monster program to earn money for more toys."

Rei snickered. "That sounds about right. If he has a suit, he can probably go through them really quick."

"And he says he has one," Faye said. She grinned. "Iron Man and the Hulk taking on monsters. It's perfect."

"Oh yes. That will be fun to watch." Rei grinned. "Now I just need to get those two to help out." She nodded to Logan and Erik. "Although not together. That... might end poorly."

"'Might' is an understatement, I think," Faye said, grinning. "I can see that ending very badly."
