Archer looked at Darla and answered with a smile, "That would be nice."'
When the older woman heard this, she beamed with delight and promptly sent him the details, noting that it was the day after Nancy's boxing match in Miami. After that, Archer continued to chat until he said his farewells.
Following that, he opened a Gate to the hotel room where Ashoka, Nyx, and Maeve were waiting for him. Archer smiled at Darla before stepping through and hearing the local news blaring as Maeve and Ashoka were gossiping.
The three women turned to him with radiant smiles as the dragon woman lunged at him. The other two waited for Nyx to finish greeting him. She kissed Archer all over the face, which made him laugh.
"This dragon is so loving, and I enjoy it,' he mused as a warm feeling washed over him.
Once she was done, Ashoka and Maeve said their hellos before Archer smiled and said, "I will take one of your clothes shopping to get the other two some stuff to wear while in the city."
Nyx and Maeve looked at the tiger woman, who smiled as he spoke, "Get ready, Ashoka, we can leave soon. I want to explore the city with you three."
After that, the duo left the hotel room and noticed several couples walking down the corridor. While making their way to the entrance, he used the internet to find the closest store.
Archer searched for five minutes and found several stores they could visit. He told Ashoka about them, which pleased the tiger woman. The two stepped outside and felt the cold air brush against their skin.
"Why does it keep getting cold?" she questioned.
When he heard this, Archer smiled before answering, as Ashoka took his arm, "The Weather on Earth is strange, my love."
The couple started walking down the busy street while dodging rude people who nearly barged into them. Soon enough, he smelled something delicious and dragged her in its direction.
After walking for five minutes, they arrived at a cart selling hotdogs, causing Ashoka to grow curious as she spoke, "Smells nice, can we get some husband?"
He nodded in agreement while approaching the man, who smiled at them before speaking in a friendly tone, "How can I help you today, young man?"
"Give me ten of each hotdog," Archer answered while taking out a few hundred and placing it on the side after seeing six different types.
The hotdog man quickly grabbed it before getting to work and started making their food as Ashoka glanced around. Archer watched as the tiger woman was fascinated by the people and cars driving past.
Fifteen minutes later, their hotdogs were done, and the man packed them all into a few bags while saying, "Thank you for buying my food. I hope you enjoy them all."'
Archer nodded before the two of them started walking toward the clothes store. He took two classic American Hotdogs and handed one to Ashoka, who curiously studied the delicious food.
As he neared Central Park, the sounds of the city faded slightly, replaced by the rustling of leaves and the distant barks of dogs. He took a deep breath, savoring the slight change in the air, which was fresher and cooler now.
The entrance to the park stood before him, a stark contrast to the surrounding city. He stepped in, his pace slowing as he left the chaotic streets behind. It was peaceful here, far from the bustling city beyond the gates.
Archer smiled as he strolled deeper into Central Park, the sounds of nature slowly replacing the city's chaos. When arriving at the world-famous attraction, he spotted and approached a
coffee stand.
A coffee stand caught his attention, and he thought, 'Maybe I can get a hot chocolate. It is cold
today.'
After joining the queue, Archer noticed a group of young men nearby, growing increasingly rowdy and loud. He glanced at them briefly, observing how others steered clear, avoiding
them like the plague.
Deciding to ignore their behavior, he focused on his own business. With ten people ahead of him in line, he had time to take in his surroundings. Hundreds of people were bustling, some going about their day while others relaxed in the park.
The young men got closer to him, their presence becoming more irritating, but Archer calmly blocked them out. That's when his gaze landed on a drop-dead gorgeous, tanned woman working behind the coffee stand.
She had beautiful brown hair and glowing green eyes, captivating Archer for a moment until he was abruptly brought back to reality when one of the young men crashed into him. Turning to face the offender, Archer calmly said, "Get away from me."
The young man smirked knowingly and responded in a threatening tone, "Who do you think you're talking to, pale boy?"
Archer rolled his eyes before replying, "I'm just here to get a hot chocolate, and some idiot like you crashed into me because you're too clueless to pay attention to your surroundings. Now go back to whatever petty crimes you indulge in and stop wasting my time." Once he was done speaking, the people around them laughed as not many dared to stand up against the local gang. The young man looked at Archer like he murdered his mother and stole
his girlfriend.
"Okay, smartass," the stranger said with a smirk as his brown eyes gleamed with malice. "'I
will see you around."
Archer watched the wannabe gangster shuffle off to his friends, who all turned to him. With a knowing smile, he thought, 'They will bother me, but they will be shocked when they wake up a
monster.'
