Jay: "I'm on the edge of my seat." he gave Hope a kiss.

Hope: She jumped into the back.

Raven: She got into the driver's seat and started driving through the city. "Now, this isn't one of those things you go talking to your buddies the press about. Nobody knows where our studio is and we'd prefer to keep it that way. Also, I know there are rumors about me and a certain member of my band, but I will neither confirm nor deny, and you won't either. Also, yes Hunter, Reece and Angel know my true name is Raven Fury, but to them I am and always have been Murray, so don't be surprised when they call me that or I respond to it."

Raven: She smiled and relaxed into the seat - a very not-Raven thing to do. "We're almost there."

Orreed said:

Jay: "Yes!" He started to pitch ideas for the preformances.

Raven: She listened contently as she pulled into the parking lot and her parking space. "One more thing. Please treat them like humans, not celebs," she added as she put on make-up really quick.

Jay: "Of course. No worries. Being in the limelight with the Olympics has calmed down my inner fanboy."

Raven: "That's all I ask." She got out of the car, waited for them, and then led them inside. She waved at Security and led Jay and Hope through halls to a lounge. There were several low-lying couches, most of them gathered around a television with game systems and everything, but one or two were pushed up against the walls. Guitars on guitar stands were scattered randomly around the room. There was a great big table in the midst of the couches with piles of lyrics, guitar picks, sheet music, drumsticks, a laptop, a couple jackets and a few mugs off coffee. There was a smaller table off to the side containing a Keurig and a bunch of charging phones. A coat and hat-rack was near the door, next to hooks for bags and a pile of shoes. Guns were also hidden discreetly and strategically should anything happen. Three bodies were sprawled on these couches but they moved and stood as Raven, Hope and Jay came in. The guitarist, Hunter, grinned. "Well, if it isn't out dear little miss Murray. Encounter screaming fans, lovely?" Raven rolled her eyes, though not unkindly. "Shut up." He smirked mischievously. The he kissed her. The other guy, Reece, the drummer, snorted. "You both are annoying as heck."

Hope: "So the rumors are true," she said, but only loud enough for herself and Jay to hear. There as a happy sparkle in her eye; she was happy for her friend.

Orreed said:

Jay: His eyes grew big. He never thought this would happen. But it was a great suprise! Raven looked so in awe of Hunter. Jay nodded and smiled at Hope.

Raven: She pulled back. "Really now, Hunter. Jack would have had an aneurysm if he'd walked in just now."

Hunter: He smirked. "You know I don't follow the rules, sparkles."

Angel: The girl, Angel, smiled at Jay and Hope and explained, "He's our manager/agent guy."

Hope: "Sparkles?" she asked, lips twitching.

Raven: She seemed to remember they were there. "Apparently my eyes sparkle and shimmer like onyx and tourmaline and obsidian or some drivel. And don't you laugh, I'm sure Jay's called you some laughable names. Right, this is Reece the Drummer, Angel the Bassist, and Hunter the Guitarist, my boyfriend. Squeal to Conrad or Dad Wilson or Dad Fury or Natasha or anyone else - Jack especially - and I will get you both kicked off Team USA, one was or another."

Hunter: He walked over and laid his hands on her shoulders, massaging with his thumbs. "Hey, Murray, rein in Raven. This is your best friend and her boyfriend. You beat up criminals with them using weapons, superpowers, science and bad***ery or something. They deserve better than crazy threats. I trust them, so should you, you're the one that knows them."

Raven: She sighed. "Right, you're right." She walked over and hugged them both. "Thank you two for coming. It meas a lot to me."

Hope: She was shocked. "How?" Raven never just followed orders or went along with people. She was the leader that made decisions. It was why they made such good friends, because while Hope was by no means a mindless follower, she was loyal, and passive when not Hulked out, and she trusted her father and Raven and Jay to take the wheel a lot of times when she was with them.

Reece: He smiled. "You keep her safe, help her decompress, and give her something to protect, which is great because Murray needs to be needed and needs to guard and keep something. We keep her grounded in reality and normalcy, give her breaks, and Hunter gives her a reason to come home instead of becoming a martyr. Thanks for doing your part."

Hope: "Glad too."

Raven: "If you're all done psychoanalyzing me, I thought we were going to practice."

Hunter: He smiled, and even though his attention had shifted to Hope and Jay, as soon as Raven had moved back into his reach he'd unconsciously hooked his arm around her waist slightly possessively, though not the jerk kind of possessive. "So, what song are we all performing?"

OOC: I found my laptop cord! It will be easier for me to access to DIS now. And BTW loving these long Raven and Hunter posts.

Jay: "Wow Raven, I never thought anyone could call you sparkles without you getting upset. Good job Hunter."
He hugged Raven back. "We are thrilled to be here! You're very welcome.
"We will be preforming Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!", he joked.

Fairywings said:

OOC: Oh, that's good. I've always felt weird about them, like I was't sure if it was feasible for Raven to have this or interesting enough to be worth my time.

Raven: She smirked in amusement. "Told you my friends are hardcore."

Angel: She nodded. "A very difficult piece."

Hunter: He looked mock-impressed. "Well, they certainly like to challenge." He looked over at Reece in concern. "Are you sure you'd be able to play that Reece?"

Reece: He looked mock-overwhelmed. "Oh Hunter, I just don't know. So difficult, so legendary."

Hope: "You guys are hilarious. Really."

Orreed said:

OOC: I think it's worth your time.

Jay: "Raven I like your friends. We are ready for the challenge!"

Fairywings said:

OOC: Thanks.

Raven: She grinned. "Thanks. I like them too."

Hunter: "Good, 'cause you're not going anywhere, not without me anyway."

Reece: "Whipped."

Angel: "But for real though, what should we play?"

Jay: "Hope you tell them."

Fairywings said:

Hope: "How about Need You Now by Lady Antebellum?"

OOC: Do you know the song? If not I can probably find it on Youtube.

Orreed said:

OOC: Oh I know that song, it's a cute one.

Jay: "Yes I dig it. Also thought we could chime in on one of your band songs. Also, I think it'd be funny if Hope and I were sitting in the audience and you call us up and we're like oh us sing? We can't. And then break out into song."

Fairywings said:

OOC: Yeah, thought it would be good.

Hunter: He nodded approvingly. "Nice choice. Luckily we know that one."

Raven: "You guys okay with that?"

Hunter, Reece, and Angel: They nodded.

Raven: "You okay with that, Hope?"

Hope: "Yeah."

Raven: "Sounds like a plan then, Jay."
