It's a party for your taste buds. Or maybe torture. OTA (foreward date for tonight really)

It's entirely possible the person who had caused this little challenge wasn't going to show up - that didn't matter. Really after the fun of having a third puberty - grant it only the second he remembered - he needed a distraction. So he'd been cooking more and when challenge to make something "really hot" he'd worked at it until he had something not only incredibly spicy - probably far more than most people could eat - but also flavorful. There was actual flavor, not just heat to the pasta he'd created.

And then he'd send word that this dish was ready and he'd put it together in Ten Forward. Over the last few days, he'd mentioned it here and there and towards the evening, he popped his cooktop into a girdle-type base and set up on a table to start cooking.

Winner gets bragging rights. It's only a moderately sized plate of pasta, how bad can it be right?

It's probably just food prep safety that has Magneto and Annie wearing gloves. Couldn't be the spice levels at all. And the cooler to the side that contains ice cream? Also not a warning.

Alec waved a hand. "Eh. It's nothing. I'm not who I used to be - but then again who is who they used to be? Life is change. Mine just got really changed. Most people don't believe me anyway."

And he honestly sounds like he believed that bullshit he says. It's possibly more of a if I say it enough times I'll believe it sort of thing.

"No? You wouldn't call Q one?"

Kevin snorts. "Never met him. Just showed up here. That's not endearing him to me." Even if he had gotten him out of the FBI's custody. "Got a few back home but never had a chance to meet them." Unless you counted Josh as one, and Kevin didn't.

"Mm... true. Not that you'd want to meet him." Alec gave Kevin a bit of a studious look, almost like he's trying to pick him a part. The intensity of it is quite a bit at odds at his slightly dippy way he'd been acting a moment before.

But then it vanished and the burble came back. Waggling his fingers a little - bits of rainbow colored sparks coming off the tips. "So what's your interest in us? Scientific curiosity?"
