"Come on Tay, we really need someone with your experience in our ranks, our high ranks," Wes said effectively drawing her attention from the man in front of her to the man behind him.
"Unless you add an air aide division forget it Wes," Taylor said doing a soft chuckle before walking pass Eric to Wes and wrapping her arm around his shoulder as his went around her back in a hug. At this Eric raised an eyebrow in question, when Wes saw it he grinned sheepishly before realising the blonde.
"We've kept in contact since they defeated Master Org, you know just incase I ever wanted to steal some of her cadets," Wes answered Eric's unspoken question.
"Yeah have fun with this group, bit of hard headed kids," Taylor said nodding slightly to the group of recruits in the corner of the bar.
"See that's why we need you, Eric's voice goes hoarse from yelling at all the newbies, he needs some backup," Wes said nudging Eric in the side laughing.
"Now that might be something worth seeing, but maybe some other time, early morning tomorrow so I gotta get going. Tell your dad I said bye will ya Wes?" Taylor said before beginning to walk towards the exit when Wes stopped her.
"Yeah Tay, what are you doing for Christmas?" he asked making her stop and turn back to the two Co-Commanders.
"Well they won't let me work three years in a row so I guess sitting at home watching Christmas Vacation all day," she said shrugging.
"Well if you get tired of the best movie ever you are more than welcome to come by the house and hang out with us," Wes said motioning to himself and Eric.
"Thanks Wes but I don't want to impose," Taylor said with a small shake of her head. Wes was about to protest when a scoff from Eric stopped him.
"You wouldn't be Earnhardt. Besides it would be nice to have another normal person there for once," Eric said coming to stand beside Wes a couple feet in front of her. With a nod from Wes, Taylor gave in.
"Alright fine. What time and what do I need to bring?" she asked turning back to face them.
"Around 4:30 and don't worry about bringing anything," Wes said smiling when he got his way again.
"Wes I grew up in the south, my grandma will get outta her grave and come whip my ass if I don't bring anything," Taylor said shaking her head again.
"Ok fine, bring whatever you want, just let me know so I can tell the cooks not to make it," Wes said chuckling at the thought of Taylor getting yelled at by an older version of herself.
"I'll make the broccoli, ham, and cheese casserole," Taylor said after thinking a minute.
"The what?" Wes asked confused at the dish.
"It's a casserole...with broccoli, ham, cheese, and rice. Must be a southern thing," Taylor said when she saw the same look on Eric's confused face. "But I gotta get goin'. I'll see you in a couple days," she said looking at Wes them her gaze shifted to the dark haired man next to him. "See ya soon Myers," she said smirking at him before turning and walking out the door with a wave to Mr. Collins as she went.
Once she was out of sight in the elevator the 2 Co-Commanders turned to each other.
"You invited her to Christmas?!" Eric was the first one to get the words out. Wes just smirked before answering.
"But you are the one that insisted she come," Wes said before patting him on the back and walking back out into the crowd of Silver Guardians. Eric just glared after him before the thought crossed his mind that he hadn't gotten Taylor a gift, like he had Wes and Mr. Collins.
"Shit. Now I gotta go shopping again," he grumbled before going back to the bar to get a fresh drink.
