It was nine o'clock when Alex walked into the bar where she worked. The first thing she noticed was how busy the place was, in the four years she had worked there she had never seen it this crowded especially on a weeknight. A small smile crept on to her face as she thought how happy Denny must be about all this, a smile which soon disappeared as she relised how long it would take her to reach the bar.

It had taken her fifteen minutes, but she had finally made it to bar intact, where she was met with smiles from Sam and Jeff who unlike her didn't have the night off. As she walked behind the bar she noticed two men in suits watching her the opposite end of the bar, she didn't like the feeling she got from those two but she shrugged it off anyway.

"Chill alex they're just two buddies having a drink after a long day," she muttered to herself.

She was pulled from her thoughts by the sound of Denny's voice from behind her.

"You talking to yourself again Alex? Because we talked about this before remember. I catch you again girl Im gonna send you off to the nut house ok."

She turned around to face him "Funny Den very funny." she told him

"I do try" was all he said as he began to walk in the direction of his office, before she turned to follow him she noticed the men at the bar were still looking at her.

"Wierd" she muttered again to no one in particular as she followed Denny into his office closeing the door behind her.

Inside his office Denny sat behind a small oak desk which as usual had stacks of paper work piled on it. While she made herself comfy on a small settee that had found its home in the corner of his office, it was quite convenient actually she would some times come in here on a morning and find Denny asleep on it,she herself had used it a few times after a long shift. Not that Denny would allow any of his other employee's to do this, but because like her Denny was also a little different from the people he employed not to mention the people that came to his club.

They were both new mutants Denny is a psyonic who's power is telekinesis. While she herself was half feral, half elemental, she could freeze objects with one touch and melt them just as easily with another. Being part feral meant she had a little animal DNA, canine to be exact. Denny was more like her best friend then her boss, in the four years that they had known each other he had found her an appartment, and given her a job.

"Some crowd tonight Den can you believe it took me fifteen minutes just to get to the bar? its crazy." she said slouching further into the settee.

"Tell me about it" he said getting up out of the chair and making his way accross to the settee and sitting beside her.

"I've been down and changed a couple of the barrels already."So what you forget it was you're night off or did you miss me that much?" Denny asked leaning back in the settee.

"Actually" she said leaning forward a little "I was thinking more along the lines of m.o.n.e.y." she said a small smile spreding across her face.

"Ah your wage, no problem." Denny said as he flicked his rist suddenly a small brown envelope flew from the top of his desk and landed on her lap. Noticing it Alex began to laugh.

"Now that's just being lazy you know that." she said as she got up off the settee, and began to make her way to the door, much to Denny's bemusement. When she opened it Jeff was stood there just about to knock.

"Whoa, Alex you scared me, is Denny in?" he asked scratching the back of his head.

She stepped aside for him to see Denny sat on the settee.

"What's the problem Jeff?" Denny asked sitting up as he did.

"We need another barrel changed downstairs and we're rushed off our feet as it is." Jeff replied

"Ah say no more" Denny said as he got off of the settee "I'll be down in a sec."

"Ok thanks Den" Jeff said as he turned around to make his way back to the bar.

Alex closed the door and turned to face Denny who was giving her a strange look.

"You psychic too now? Can i just add that to the list of power's you got?'' he said with a small chuckle.

"What? the guy's that heavy footed I could hear him walking down the hall without my feral hearing" she said with an innocent smile .

"Anyway as much as I love you as a friend and a boss I'm headed home, you're on you're own buddie" she said making her way to the door just as she opened it she turned around.

"Hey Den there were a couple of wierd guys at the bar mind if I go out the back?" she asked.

"Sure thing" he said as he followed her out of the door.

"I'll see you tomorrow kiddo" he said as he opened the basement door.

"Night Den" she said as she made her way to the back exit.
