"Damn, Emma...what are you wearing?" Helena laughed.

Emma smiled at her new friend. "You like?"

"Someone has definitely got their swagger back. Where's Jean?"

"Taking a cold shower, I imagine."

"Really? Do tell!"

"I did what you said. And for the record, she is definitely interested."

"Now what?"

"Now I am going to torture her like she has done to me these past few
months."

"That outfit is a good start."

Emma was wearing low-rise hip hugging white leather pants, paired with white
boots. Her baby tee was also white, and very tight. The lace designs on her
white bra were clearly visible through the thin material, and her boobs were
set high.

"Helena, we have to go out tonight. You guys do that, right?"

"Yeah, we're not hermits. Where do you want to go?"

"Dancing."

"Lesbian bar?"

"No, too obvious. Just a hot dance spot-somewhere exciting. I plan on laying
it on thick tonight. Where can we go that doesn't close before dawn?"

"Well, we can go to Gotham, or maybe New York City."

"Dirty, and no subways please."

"Okay, well, how about Las Vegas? There's plenty to do and the city never
sleeps."

"Perfect! Your friends will go?"

"I'm sure they'd be easily convinced. Dinah likes to gamble, and the others
won't care what we do."

"Tell them to pack an overnight bag; Frost Industries will foot the bill for
rooms."

Helena giggled. "Plan on sharing another room with Jean?"

"Of course, but tonight she will be admitting how she feels! I cannot wait!"

"Okay, make the arrangements and we will go."

Emma grinned widely and walked away. Helena ran her fingers through her hair
and smiled. "Oh man...we are in for an interesting night."


"A series of challenges is what we are in for tonight ladies. It seems that we have a dilemma as to which group of women here are better than the others. So I am proposing that instead of fighting, that we settle this differently. I have made all the arrangements. To keep it all fair, no one can use their mutant abilities. Diana, I realize you cannot control your strength, so I doubt power lifting will be on the agenda." Emma looked at her companions who were all smiling.

"What did you have in mind Emma?" Helena asked.

"We get settled into our rooms, and then meet up in the lobby in one hour. I will tell you everything then."

The group nodded and went to their respective rooms. Once the hour was up, they all met again in the lobby and stood around looking at each other. Every one of them was dressed to kill, and seemed to be excited at the prospect of what the evening's plans were going to be. Emma ushered them to a limo, and they set out to their first destination. When the limo stopped they were outside of a club that had music pounding.

"We having a dance contest?" Betsy asked.

"No dear. But feel free to show us how the running man is done in Great Britain." Emma smiled. "We will be occupying the V.I.P. room for the first challenge."

The doorman greeted the group and a man dressed in a fine suit walked up to Emma. "We are pleased to have your group from Frost Industries here. The room has been set up to meet your needs, and you will have your own bartender there. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you."

"Thank you. Lead the way." Came the blonde's response. She leaned over and whispered to Jean. "You ready to let loose a little?"

"That depends on what you had in mind."

Emma just laughed in response and grabbed the redhead's hand and followed the man upstairs. They entered a spacious room with some furniture spread out in the various corners. There was a table in the middle of the room with a stack of cups and several beer cans on it.

"First challenge of the night is flip cup. Hope everyone ate something, because if not, someone's team will be at a disadvantage." Emma addressed the group.

"How is this played?" Storm asked.

"The X-Men will line up on one side, and the Justice Leaguers on the other. Each person will take a cup, and fill it about half way with beer. When we start, the first person in line will grab their beer, chug it, and then set the cup on the edge of the table. Then, using only your fingers, you have to try and flip the cup over, but it must stay standing. Once the first person has done it, then the next person in line goes, until the last person has flipped their cup. The team that finishes first wins. And the losers have to finish their beers."

Jean laughed. "Emma, I had no idea you drank beer."

Emma winked at Jean, and then replied, "I am full of surprises darling."

"So it would seem," Jean muttered.

"Again, no powers are to be used to keep this as fair as possible."

Dinah giggled. "You realize we are about to own you guys in this one. Helena and I are pros at this game."

Betsy leaned over the table. "That may be true, but is Diana?"

Helena looked over at the Amazon who had a blank stare on her face. "Well shit. Whatever. We got this. We gotta decide our order. Strategy ladies. I will go first, and then Shayera, Diana, and Dinah will anchor. Diana, just watch how it is done, and you should be fine."

The Justice League lined up at the table next to each other, and began filling their cups half full.

Emma looked at her teammates. "Who wants to decide the order?"

Betsy laughed. "I'll go first. Helena and Dinah aren't the only ones who have played this one before."

Jean laughed but then got nervous. "I haven't though."

"Then you stand across the table from Diana. That should buy you a little time to figure it out. Storm, you want to anchor?"

"Why not? How hard can this be?" the weather witch replied.

The X-Men lined up on the other side and poured their beers as well.

"Ready?" Emma asked the group. The other women nodded. "Good, GO!"

Helena and Betsy quickly grabbed their cups and began to chug. They were evenly matched as they finished drinking at the same time, and set their cups down and attempted the first flip. Both got it on the first try. Shayera and Emma grabbed theirs and downed the amber liquid fast, and set their cups on the edge. Emma looked over at Shayera and smiled. "I have seen your girlfriend naked."

Shayera stumbled backwards. "What?"

Emma reached down and flipped her cup. It landed upright. "Kidding, but now you are behind."

Jean immediately started drinking and made several poor attempts at flipping her cup. It landed everywhere but upright. Shayera regained her senses and began attempting to catch up. She finally got the cup upright and Diana started drinking. The Amazon's first attempt at flipping was comical. She hit the cup a little too hard and it went flying across the table and struck Jean in the forehead. The whole table laughed as Diana cursed. She snatched her cup off the table and began trying to flip it again. Finally both she and Jean got theirs in the correct position. Dinah and Ororo slammed the liquid down and began their attempts to flip. Dinah got it on the second try, securing victory for the Justice Leaguers.

Helena raised her hands in triumph. "Drink bitches!"

The X-Men smiled and finished off the remainder of the beer in the cans.

Betsy looked over at Emma. "Nice strategy. Too bad we lost. Best two out of three?" she asked across the table.

Everyone nodded and began pouring again. Betsy waited for everyone to be ready and then yelled, "Go!"

She and Helena picked up their cups and drank quickly. First attempts at flips were successful. Shayera and Emma began drinking. Diana laughed, "Good chugging Emma. I heard you had no gag reflex."

Emma choked on the beer she was swallowing, while everyone laughed at the table.

Shayera finished drinking first and started to try and get her cup upright. But Emma quickly caught up, and flipped her cup before the redhead. Jean downed the liquid and made a few sloppy attempts at reaching her goal. Finally she got it, and Storm began drinking. Shayera finally got her cup to cooperate and Diana chugged, but the game never got to Dinah as Storm finished the task before Diana could manage the feat of getting the cup to do what it was supposed to. The X-Men high-fived each other and Jean reached her hand out across the table.

"Allow me."

The beer cans floated in the air and the cups were filled with the remaining liquid in front of the Justice League. Dinah had to drink an entire beer at once. Emma leaned over to Jean.

"Way to go on that one. It's an amazingly attractive feature for a woman to be able to play this game."

Jean just stared at Emma. "I had no idea that you of all people would be able to do this."

"I seem to be surprising you tonight Red. Wait, the evening is still early." Emma stared into Jean's eyes and then smiled provocatively.

Betsy leaned back and made eye contact with Ororo. The two women chuckled silently.

"You ready to see who claims final victory on this game?" Emma asked the table. Everyone smiled and the cups were lined up again for the final round.
