It was the first time Illyana had been in New York since the big cure scare. She hadn't really thought to leave the mansion before, but today felt like the best day to go out. It was sunny and kind of hot with a mild wind. What she wouldn't give to be in an M6 Hurricane with the top down. She could practically feel the wind whipping her hair back in it. She sighed exasperatedly, "If only i could get my hands on one of those, or the money to fix a beat up one even." She muttered something in her mother tongue and kept walking.
She didn't really have a destination. Truthfully she didn't know where to go. She knew the trip would probably get her lost. "I'll just teleport home." She passed by a few shops with expensive dresses in the windows. She stopped walking for a few minutes. Illy wondered briefly how she would look in them. She rolled her eyes and smiled as she started her pace back up, "No thanks, i'd rather have motor oil on my shirt than that."
Today her hair was down for a change and she had on a soft blue tank top and her usual almost-daisy-dukes-shorts. She remembered when she got them, her friend called them "men grabbing shorts", her brother hadn't thought that was as funny as Illy had. So she went and got several other pairs. She kept walking, when she noticed the sound of a motorcycle coming up the street behind her. She turned her head in time to see the motorcycle racing by. She gazed at the motorcycle whiz by until it turned. She noted the sound of something off about the way it was running as soon as it turned at the next block. "It's a shame i can't fix something that nice either."
Although Scott occasionally let her fix up some of his bikes she wasn't allowed to go near them, not because of Scott but because another student already claimed dibs on them, and she didn't want to mess with that fiery red head. Which was fine there were plenty of nice cars as well as bikes.
Illy made her way to the block where the motorcyclist had turn down, she glance down the road for cars when she noticed the very same motorcyclist on the side of the road, it looked like the problem she noticed before had become quite the mess for the driver. She sighed, smiled, and headed towards the two.
When she was a couple feet away she spoke up, "Problem?" It was kind of ironic that she had also grabbed her small bag of tools, the ones she kept with her at almost all times, they were also the ones that were personally hers. She didn't mind helping out a stranger, it wasn't like he'd be able to attack her in broad daylight, or even find her after she teleported back to the mansion for that matter.

Now that the world isn’t ending, its love that I’m sending to you.
It isn’t the love of a hero, and that’s why I fear it won’t do. [/size][/font] And they say that a hero can save us.
I’m not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.. [/size][/font] ---------------------------- Johnny was not in the best mood, simply because of the fact that his bike was screwed, he knew that there was a problem with the engine in that there was a rattling within in. He knew that he didn’t have the space within the Baxter building for him to be able to do fix it. He didn’t use Reed and Sue’s lab for two reasons, one because of the fact that Reed had a lot of stuff that was in the lab which made it pretty much impossible for him to do that because of the fact that Reed wouldn’t give him the room to do it. Also the fact that Sue and Reed tended to be spending time alone in the lab caused him to want to be no where near it if he was being honest, the furthest that he could be from the room was the best thing because he didn’t want to walk in on Sue and Reed because he had wanted to walk in on, he didn’t have a problem with Reed per say but if he had to spend one more day of Reed following Sue around like a love struck puppy again he was most likely to set him on fire.
Johnny had found a place that he could get to fix the problem with his bike pretty easily, he knew that he could have done it himself but it was time wasting also, this way he could still work as a hero if he had to and didn’t have to be working on his bike as well as be saving people as a hero, however he didn’t really like to have other people touch his bike as he had been happy with the fact that he had been the one that had done most of the work on his own bike so he didn’t want to give someone else the right to be able to touch his bike because of the fact that it was his bike so if anyone was going to work on his own bike then it would be him and only him. As he turned down a road he noticed that the noise from the bike had gotten louder, the engine did not sound good at all therefore it would probably be best to get off of the bike. Turning the engine off he sighed and got off of his bike.
He had been standing there for a couple of seconds before a blonde turned up, there was no denying that she was attractive, but the fact that she seemed to turn up out of nowhere was something that confused him.
“Yeah I had been taking it to a mechanic but I doubt I would even make it that far,” he said. ---------------------------- Lyrics: Nickelback – Hero

Illy didn't really pay much attention to the rider, she was more focused on the bike itself. It was nice, she felt a strong urge to ride it. It wasn't a convertible but it was a hell of a lot better than walking. She internally rolled her eyes at herself. Listen to yourself, she thought.
"I agree," she squatted down to look at the engine. She looked at it thoroughly for a few seconds. She then snapped back up. She finally got a look at the rider. He was quite good looking, she noted to herself. She looked back down at the bike and then back up at him, "I have tools with me if you want me to look at it, I fix and study car and motorcycle parts in my spare time." She smiled and flicked a strand of hair away from her face.

Watch as we all fly away.. [/size][/font] ---------------------------- Johnny tried extremely hard not to check out the young woman that had squatted to look at his bike. She was a beautiful young woman in short shorts, it was only normal that he would have checked her out, however that didn’t mean that Johnny would do anything about it, after all he didn’t know the woman and more to the point she looked younger than him and that would be something that he was always wary of because of the fact that he himself was only 21 so if they where younger than him there was a chance that they could have been a mid teen who looked old for their age and there was no way that Johnny was willing to take that chance, she could have been a super model he wouldn’t care.
However when the woman mentioned the fact that she could take a look at the bike she instantly had his attention because of the fact that he didn’t know that many women that knew about bikes so in that aspect that meant that it was somewhat interesting to Johnny to meet a woman that seemed to know that much about bikes. To have her own tools. “I require two pieces of information before I let you touch my bike.” He said “firstly do you have the age requirement for a licence and do you accept dinner as payment?” ---------------------------- Lyrics: Nickelback – Hero

Illy was just about to answer his first question, but stopped at the second. Her grin almost split her face. First she glanced down, then she looked back up at the man. He was very good looking, and truth be told she'd kind of like dinner with him. She wondered if her brother would be as keen with this idea as she was. She bet he'd have heart attack and then tell her how unsafe it was. She restrained from rolling her eyes.
"Well for starters i'm 19 and yes i can drive, motorcycle or car, and next, if you let me touch your bike i don't care how you pay me," she paused for a sec and then quickly added, "within reason that is." She chuckled and this time swung her bag from her shoulder and placed it on the ground. She knelt down next to the engine, giving it another once over. She figured she knew exactly what the problem was.

Watch as we all fly away.. [/size][/font] ---------------------------- Johnny nodded when the young woman said that she was 19, she was only 19 therefore she was 2 years younger than him which meant that he would be able to go to dinner with her and not have to worry about the fact that she may have been significantly younger than him, however thankfully she was old enough that he didn’t have to worry about that problem. Not that he would consider doing anything with a younger woman but he had checked that she was at an age that he could take her to dinner before even thinking about it because of the fact that he didn’t want to find out later that she was younger than what he had initially thought her to be.
When she said that he could pay her however he wanted and then added within reason he couldn’t help but laugh, this young woman was good looking and appeared to have a sense of humour in how she had said the statement. “So what do you think is the problem with it?” he asked “and do I get to know your name rather than just the woman I am letting look at my bike?”

Illy listened to him and laughed while she was reaching and lightly tugging on certain chords and bolted in parts. She stood back up and pulled her hair back letting some of it fall out of the holder she used. She looked up at him, giving him a wide genuine smile, "I am called Illyana, but please just Illy will do." Her accent wasn't as bad as her brother's but it slipped through sometimes, like it had then.
She unintentionally licked her lips and then knelt back down. She reached through the slightly hot engine and tugged on a certain part again, "Ok," she took a breath, let out a chuckle and continued, "You have a loose headscrew, which is dangerous, and there's a couple other things that are loose that was causing it to make that weird noise." She looked a little closer, "Yeah, it ended up coming almost completely off, your base gasket that is." She fished out a couple of tools and set to work on the bike. She was giddy with excitement she never really got to work on them as much as she had with the x-cars, or mostly scott's cars.

Watch as we all fly away.. [/size][/font] ---------------------------- Johnny was interested by the accent that she had it seemed to be eastern European however he supposed that he would ask her more about it after she was done working on his bike. It was the equivalent to his baby therefore he didn’t want to see anything happen to it, he had always taken extreme care with his property simply with the fact that he didn’t want to have to get anything to happen with the bike or that he had to change things to it, simply because of the fact that if he had to keep changing things with his bike then it meant that one it was money and secondly it was finding the time to make the changes that the bike needed, not that he would need to take out a loan or something to be able to make the changes to his bike but it would take enough money to make the changes to the bike that would put someone who didn’t have the amount of money that he had back quite a bit.
When the woman spoke he had to admit that she had a lot of knowledge of what happened with bikes, not that he didn’t think she would know nothing but at the same it was surprising that she knew as much as she did know. “So how easy would it be to fix?” he asked her “and do you think you could do it here?”

Illy answered him while she worked, "I just need to tighten a few things," she said it as she started finishing up. "Actually, I'm almost done." She grabbed the last tool, tightened the headscrew she mentioned previously, and then checked the bike over for anything else that screamed "please fix me". She stood up and checked the bike out, literally checked it out. The tires were filled nicely, the bikes body was nice, not a scratch, and the gas was good.
She grinned and looked at him, "I see you take care of it very well. That is a very good thing." She laughed and then added, "Do you mind if i start it up to see if it sounds good? The bikes gorgeous, i don't get to be around them as often as i'd like," she smiled and placed her bag of tools on the ground. "I'll leave my bag here so you know i won't do anything to your bike." She removed the band that held her hair in place and shook her hair back out. "By the way, i do not think i caught your name? Not really fair, no? You know my name i have no clue who you are." To others, she assumed that that would be a problematic situation, but it didn't bother her in the least.

Watch as we all fly away.. [/size][/font] ---------------------------- Johnny was instantly wary of the fact that she had wanted to try the bike, simply because of the fact that it was his baby and he didn’t want anything to happen to it, Reed was the same way with his gadgets he was just being protective of his bike because of the fact that he had not wanted anything to happen to his bike because of the fact it was part of him in that he had put so much time and energy into the bike that he didn’t want to see anything happen to the bike and therefore the more likely he was that he was going to have to protect the bike the more stupid his decisions would be.
“How about you come with me for a ride?” he offered with a smile “I am not saying that you have to trust me but I am not completely confident in letting you ride my bike on your own because I have seen how some people are in this city and I am not completely confident in the people that live within this city nothing against you, if you don’t mind sitting behind me that is, and my name is Johnny Storm.”

Illy blinked and then laughed, "I'm sorry, I should have worded myself better! I meant just kick start it." She cracked another smile out and then said, "But getting a ride sounds nice too. I agree, the people in this city are not as careful as they should be" She picked up her bag and swung it over her shoulder. "Nice to meet you Johnny," she paused and thought for second, "wait, why does that sound so familiar?" She stood there and thought for a couple seconds. "Are you famous?" She bite her lip trying to think. "You must tell me why that sounds so familiar," she smiled like she was kid about to get a really big lollipop.

As he turned the engine of the bike on he waited for her to get on as he extended the helmet to her, he wasn’t going to go that fast and he would be safe, even if he did fall off of the bike he could always turn to flame.
“I am a superhero,” he said with a smirk “now if you would be so kind as to climb on, grab hold of me and wear the helmet, tick all of the boxes of those and I’ll take you for a ride.”

Illy looked at him blankly for a fraction of a second before realization dawned on her face, "You're the Human Torch! Oh my-that's crazy!" She laughed lightly and then grinned, "I'm the Colossus' sister, he's one of the X-Men." She smiled and put the helmet on, then swung her leg around the bike and wrapped her arms around him. He was really muscular. She felt a tiny shiver scatter across her back and down her legs. Illy's heart felt like it was racing with excitement. It was a real treat to actually ride a motorcycle and to meet one of the Fantastic Four. She doubted that her brother would be ok with her doing this, maybe the fact that she was with a superhero would make him warm up to the idea. She still couldn't believe that she met someone she had seen on TV.

When she mentioned her brother he was sure that he had heard the name before but he hadn’t met many of the X men yet, he had only met the odd few such as Charles, and now he supposed he had met Illiyana also. When she got on the bike and wrapped her arms around him he couldn’t help but chuckle at the shiver that he heard her have when she was close to him.
“So miss Illiyana,” he said with a smile before using his powers to heat his back somewhat so that she wouldn’t be cold. “Where would you like to go?”

Her nerves were all a buzz. She couldn't wait to have the wind whip her hair back and graze against her skin. She answered Johnny with a beaming smile, "I don't care," she laughed and added, "as long as it's not straight to your bedroom. Just go." She smiled and hugged him a little tighter preparing for the bike's jolt to life. His body got warmer, she assumed it was so she wouldn't get to cold during the ride. She smiled to herself.
