Given the impromptu change in lunch arrangements he had expected that he would have to pay since Todd had technically bought lunch earlier. Instead, he saw the young man pay at the register, taking careful not that his coat was now around his waist. There was more than a healthy tint of red to his cheeks which gave Quidel all he needed to know about his condition. He cast slow glances at the close proximity he kept but didn't say a word. Todd always stayed close but this time he kept casting more gazes in his direction than before. It was equally unusual for him to be so quiet while they ate. The last time they ate together he was quite the chatter box and the jukebox. But alas, all good things must come to an end because the silence was broken by such an out of place statement.
He raised an eyebrow at the statement of being wifed. It didn't make much sense and it was far too early in the relationship to even be thinking of matrimonials. He listened to his explanation for his earlier actions. He did have a fair point about needing to be respected as an adult. Though he himself was an only child, and an adopted one at that, he could only assume that such a blatant disregard for Todd's choices was coming from a familial protectiveness. That and there was very little known about him other than what he did as the Demon Owl. He continued to eat slowly as he thought things even deeper. Things could only get messier if Rey did view Todd as family because if he began to see him as one of his own children, his protectiveness will only increase. Likewise, so will his need to get into his personal life. Of course, all that is if he was adopting more instinctual behaviors rather than rational ones that actually function in modern society.
He nodded in agreement in enjoying Todd's company, though he didn't verbally express it. He watched him eat more than he had the last time they had eaten together. He focused on how he held his fork, how long he took to chew, the look on his face when he tasted different things. It was interesting to be able to watch someone so closely and not have them try to move from his gaze. Instead, the more he stared, the more he seemed to get that red tint to his face and shift in his seat. When he heard Todd express how he felt under his gaze, Quidel realized that it was indeed something he invoked on others; a sense of being captured and eaten. He always watched those who were his prey that closely, observing every little mannerism, every step they took, all the way until it was the perfect time when their guard dropped even the slightest. He had a gift of understanding people's subconscious behaviors. But Todd's was the compelete opposite from everyone else. The smiles, the blush, the gaze that met his for a while with a sense of need before turning away. There was a question there on the tip of his tongue that he wanted to say but decided against it but Quiedel had an idea what it was. He could see his shifting in his seat that wasn't an attempt to get away, but one to get more comfortable.
"I'll pick you up after work." Quidel spoke as he added his empty plate to the stack that Todd had already accumulated. He had been full and finished eating awhile ago, but was too busy watching to put it aside. "I want you to come to my place." He saw his face light up which prompted him to add bluntly, "For movies. We can watch some cult classics, like Critters, Heathers, or whatever. I have a lot. You pick."
Rey released everyone from work for the day since all the power was out. Those who wanted to stay to continue working on physical drafts were more than welcome but those who needed the computer were free to leave. He drove a ways out of the center of the city, hoping to get closer to another heroes district. Unfortunately, he didn't want to spoil any other plans by other villains because having both sides after you is not fun. Especially if that one is a said bitch like Magician. Either way, it was on the far edge enough of Lionman's territory that it will take him longer to get there and have a greater chance of success. He parked in a garage that had an access point to the old infrastructure, slipping in to change and waiting for his bots to arrive. The plan today was that with enough distance between the center and him being active much earlier, he could get away with this one, after all, this isn't for himself, but his children. Speaking of which, he set a reminder for him to go get ahold of Dr. Sanders so he can get a look at them again. Maybe if he had a physical image to look at, he can come to terms with it better and get the courage to tell Lionman he is going to be a father.
Rey's bot's crashed into the front doors of the bank, laser sights aimed at everyone as he strode in, shock pistol in hand. There were screams as people ducked around and once they saw it was a supervillain that had entered, they knew exactly what to do. They each dropped to the floor or held their hands up as his bots sought each person out, training their lasers onto them.
"Alright, I'm going to make this quick as possible. No one moves and no one gets hurt." He stepped over someone as he made his way to the counter, the one unarmed bot beside him opening up it's container so he can pull out the bag inside. He tossed it at the clerk. "Get in the safe and fill it." He followed the woman as he tapped through the feeds of his bots to make sure everyone was away from any kind of panic button or had no phones in their hands. When they reached the fault he pressed his fist to his mouth as he felt a familiar queasiness rise.
'Are you kidding me? Now?' Rey thought as he tried to ride through the sensation with slow deep breathes. The clerk stopped filling the bag and cast him a curious look before he pressed the gun to her head as a threat. She went back to filling it with stacks of money until he realized he couldn't keep the lid down any longer. "Where is the bathroom?"
"E-excuse me?" She asked as she turned towards him, noticing his head was down and his fist against his mouth.
"The bathroom. The fucking bathroom. Where is it?" he snapped, speaking in a loud whisper because he didn't want the other hostages to overhear. The clerk just shakily pointed around the corner. "Don't fucking pull anything, I can still see what you are doing through my bots." He tapped his goggles to make his point before he bolted to the bathroom, kicking open the door and ducking into the first stall. Made it. But just barely. He laid partial blame on Todd for letting him eat half a tub of ice cream and Chinese. Those were not meant to be together in one sitting and in such quantity. He rinsed out his mouth and pulled out an altoid before chewing it as he made his way back to the vault. The bag was full and the clerk was waiting for him. "Thanks..." he muttered as he snatched it before hearing an all to familiar sound that told him that his plan was ruined.
'Great. This robbery was for your futures and you had to make me take longer than needed.'
