Time Child

Ice Blue and Olive Green

  It's Jax's birthday. 

__________//__________

Rip had finally, after a very explicit threat from Sara, allowed the group to go out to celebrate Jax's birthday but had declined the offer to go with them, instead he had assigned Sara to be the leader of the outdoor excursion and in private had reminded Greta of the last time she had been in a club and that had been how the group had ended up in a nice looking bar celebrating Jefferson Jackson's 21 birthday.

The place was buzzing with the best energy Sara had felt in a long time, by the dancefloor bodies were pressed against each other, swaying with the music, glasses up and alcohol slipping down arms and hands and chins; she leaned against the bar and looked around, an amused smile over her face, she knew the team was having a great time and after they had gotten several of shots for free for Jax's birthday, the mood had only gotten better.

By a table surrounded by men of different ages and stages of intoxication, Mick sat leading a game that was based on pure physical force and with all the bets placed around them, he had already claimed a lot of easy money; Sara smirked and rolled her eyes as yet another defeat came to a group of friends who grunted angrily and demanded a rematch.

"Fools" she whispered, no one was grasping the concept that Mick was stronger than all of them together.

By the dance floor she could see Ray holding Kendra as close to him as he could, his hands on her hips and her hands around his shoulder and they had that grin on their faces that could make anyone around them smile; they swayed to the music and Sara was surprised with how much Ray actually liked to dance, he whispered something to Kendra and the woman chuckled and pulled him closer and planted a kiss over his lips. Sara smiled and looked away as a blush spread over Ray's face, he was so head over heels for Kendra that even her kiss could make him blush, no matter how chaste it was.

Martin was sitting with a group of hipsters not far from where Mick was holding his betting game and he was talking none stop to them, the group seemed mesmerized and Sara smirked, Martin had a way to get anyone's attention, she had to give him that and the fact that he was a brilliant mind only added to the desire to get to talk to him. Yeah, he could be cocky and arrogant at times, but when he was really Martin Stein, he was a good guy with a heart of gold, honest and caring and Sara liked him.

At the dancefloor, away from Kendra and Ray's love bubble, Jax and Greta were dancing with a group of people that looked their age; they were jumping and laughing and a few of the girls screamed loudly when a song they liked came on and Sara wondered what Greta thought of parties in 2018. Jax was dancing closely to a pretty redhead, a drink in hand as they swayed with the music while Greta, who wasn't the best dancer but wasn't terribly either, had a couple of boys dancing around her, Sara could see her laugh and drink from the glass she had in her hand and she smiled; Sara smiled because she wanted everyone to have a good time.

"Making sure everyone is still here?" asked a smooth voice.

Sara glanced to her left just as Leonard sat on the stood next to her, he had glass of something she was sure was whiskey, she shrugged and turned her back to the scene she had been watching and sat on the stool next to Leonard, she leaned over the bar and asked for a pair of tequila shots.

"Making sure nothing gets out of control" she explained "Like last time"

"Last time our trouble maker was waiting for trouble"

Sara glanced over her shoulder and then back at Leonard "Well, today those girls are looking for trouble"

Leonard glanced towards Greta, she had her hands in the air and was dancing with a guy with white hair closely, and one of the girls in the group was glancing at her more often than she wasn't.
