(You don't have to apologize over something like that.)<br/><br/>Lance settled on a cheeseburger, some seasoned fries, and a chocolate shake for dessert. He then folded his hands and looked at Lily. He chuckled as she called it the "Freedom Lancers".<br/>"You mean the Freedom Force?" he asked with a smile, "Of course I will. Terry and Holly are good friends of mine, and besides, I don't think the X-Men are really my style."<br/>He could sense what she was probably thinking.<br/><br/>"But that doesn't mean that we won't still see each other. Sniper's proposed plan includes an alliance with the X-Men, so we'll see each other pretty often. Aside from that, I don't want to stop seeing you."<br/>He reached across the table and gently took her hand.<br/>"I'm not sure how long it will take before a meeting can be arranged with the UN. So, I'll be spending as much time with you as I can while I'm living at the Mansion."<br/><br/>Their orders came, and Lance let go of Lily's hand to begin digging into his cheeseburger. It was delicious, as were the fries. For a goof, he dipped his fry in ketchup and touched Lily's nose with it, leaving a ketchup spot on her nose.<br/>"I always knew you were a clown," he said with a laugh.
