Connor meets Markus and his group of friends, being officially welcomed into the group.

~~~

"Don't worry," Markus says, trying to reassure Connor as he guides him up the drive way to his house.  His home is huge, something him and Richard could only dream of.  He can't help but stare in awe.  "They don't bite," He says as the door opens, and a robotic voice greets him.  "I can't promise North won't though."  Connor chuckles nervously as they walk through abother self opening door and into a livingroom of sorts.  He notices the huge giraffe first.

"Hi, Markus," A blond guy with piercing, blue eyes says, walking up to them.  "You must be Connor."  He smiles and shakes his hand.  "Nice to meet you.  I'm Simon," He says.

Connor smiles back at him.  "Nice to meet you too, Simon," He replies as he puts his hands behind his back, standing straightly.  His posture is quite impressive, compared to other people his age.

Two others walk up to them, having noticed the commotion.  "You might remember Connor from high school," Markus says.  When they don't respond or show any sign of remembering Markus frowns slightly.  "He has a twin brother named Richard," He says.

The ginger girl lights up.  "Right!" She says.  "You were those wierdos who never talked to anyone," She exclaims.

"North--"

"She's right," Connor says, looking down at his feet bashfully, cheeks flushing just the slightest in embarrasment.

Markus pats him on the back, startling him a little bit, and brings him closer to his side.  "I think Connor will be a nice addition to our group," He announces.  "If he wants to, of course," He is quick to add.

"Depends on what he was to offer," North says, crossing his arms over  her chest, displaying a smug, yet not bothered, smile.

Connor stutters.  "Wh-what?" He asks, eyes wide, blinking.  He hears Markus snort in the background.

"She's kidding," The tall, dark skinned man tells him.  He smiles at him.  "I'm Josh, and that is North," He says, pointing at the woman who half asses a wave and faintly smiles at him.

"No, but seriously," She says.  "What do you do?" She asks, looking at hun couriously.  He can't help but feel like she's sizing him up.

Markus beats him to the answer.  "Connor here is a detective at the Detroit Police Department," He says, grinning proudly, almost as if he were his child or sibling.

North seems to gain interest at this.  "Oh really?" She says.  He has to admit he is a bit intimidated by her.

Connor nods.  "Yeah," He answers, smiling shyly.  "I haven't worked for that long yet though," He adds.

"Excpect me to ask about details every time we meet," She tells him.  Connor grins at her.

"Of course."
