It was all Chloe could do not to dissolve into a fit of girlish giggles.  He made her feel like she did when she was thirteen, and had her first serious crush.<em>And we know how <strong>that</strong> turned out,</em>she silently reminded herself, trying to get a grip on her raging hormones.<br/><br/>His response to her question caused Chloe to raise an eyebrow in classic Mr Spock fashion.  Not that she knew Carter's father, either personally, or by reputation, but she knew what<strong>her</strong>father would have said if she'd been doing something purely and simply to get attention.  And all fathers were pretty much the same, right?  She was about to say as much when they were interupted by the chirping of his cell phone, and low and behold, it was the man himself.  Chloe smirked, both at the irony, and at Carter's quip about having a superhero father.<br/><br/>Not failing to notice the way his eyes slowly moved up her body, pausing briefly in the usual places, Chloe shivered deliciously.  She wasn't used to being appreciated in a physical way.  The fact that she was very curvy, rather than being a head on a stick, had brought her more grief than she cared to think about. She'd always been teased for being 'fat'.  But despite constantly watching what she ate, and attending the gym on a regular basis, she never seemed to get any skinnier.  She'd finally resigned herself to the fact that she was, as much as she hated the label, "plus size".  And she was okay with that.  But she'd never gotten this kind of attention in high school.  And she had to admit, she liked it!<br/><br/>His wedding comment made her laugh, which didn't stop the light blush that coloured her cheeks. "Now Carter...I hardly know you, and here you are proposing! Whatever will people say?" she teased back, holding the back of her hand to her forehead in a gesture of exaggerated shock. "No, no superpowered family," she continued in response to his question.  "I'm the only freak in the family, I'm afraid. So far, anyway..." She trailed off.  Using the word 'freak' reminded her of her dad.  And thinking about her dad was painful.  "My dad thought I was a freak.  And I'm pretty sure that's what killed him," she whispered, sorrow filling her eyes and turning them from hazel to brown. A single tear slid down her cheek.  She wiped it away with her fingertips, offering Carter a small apologetic smile.  "I'm sorry. I'm being such a baby..."<br/><br/>She took a deep, calming breath.<br/><br/>"But, enough about me," the usually bubbly brunette announced with avid enthusiasm, slapping one of her hands against the plastic table top.  "I want to hear more about you....it must have been exciting growing up with a dad like yours. And did you always have your powers?  Your poor mum...I can just imagine her running around after a baby who could crawl at super speed.  She must have had the patience of a saint!"<br/><br/>Chloe knew she was babbling. She couldn't help it...it was partly nervous habit, and partly because she felt so silly for getting teary in front of Carter.  She'd finally met a boy who seemed to find her as attractive as she found him, and the first thing she does is turn on the water works?<em>Good going, doofus...</em>she mentally scolded herself.<em>Trot out the crazy on the first date. Way to get a guy, Chloe!</em><br/><br/>Ignoring that inner voice, she busied herself with eating her lunch, perfectly happy to let Carter talk while she got herself under control. Not to mention reminding herself that lunch in the school cafeteria hardly constituted a first date!<br/><br/>
