Lucas blinked. "Okay... Well... Good." he said, before looking around.
"This place... reminds me of home. It looks fancy," he said.

C.J. smiled. "It's quite alright. Don't worry though . . . I'm no serial killer or anything. Just someone who wound up in the right place at one heck of a time." he said with a shrug. Of course, since those two knucklehead friends of mine/outside the roleplay version of yours truly's creations tend to wind up in the hairiest of situations, I kinda had to get in on the mayhem. he thought.
"Could be a lot worse of a place to meet someone in, that's for sure. Besides, I don't think the owner would mind none. We're already here." he said.

Alex blinked again. "You live in a mansion?" she asked.
Sapphire gave him a small smile. "I suppose you're right. Can't really do anything about it now."

Luke nodded. "Our home in Springdale is the largest house in town," he said. "My parents always had a lot of money-- or my mom did, at least. My grandfather on her side is a billionaire industrialist from Chicago. My dad, however, was born in Springdale and grew up poor, the eldest of five kids. Then they both joined SHIELD... and that brought in even more money. In short, I've never had to worry about money."

Alex just blinked again. "Oh.......I knew you had money because of the hotel. But......I didn't know you had that much. I...really wouldn't have guessed. You're Mom was....a lot nicer than other rich women I know." she said. Then took another long pause. "How did you not have a girlfriend again?"

Luke frowned. "The rich women you've met... weren't nice? I mean, I've never actually met someone like that, though I know they're around. And as for my girlfriend issue... I don't really know. People knew I was 'The Ellison Kid', and... I guess they didn't want to have anything to do with me for some reason-- the girls at least, and in a romantic sense. I had girls who were my friends, but never a girlfriend, you know?"

Alex was quiet for a moment, then crossed her arms and shifted uneasily. "Grew up in completely different worlds then. Any of the rich well-to-do's that I've ever met were....well only certain kinds of people were good enough for them. And a lot of preppy high school girls I knew would just love to meet someone with a heavy pocket."

At this point, Lucas just laughed.
"My mom wouldn't have allowed that. I once told her about this preppy girl I had a crush on at the time-- she chased me all around the house with a rolled-up newspaper, hitting me with it and screaming about how all preppy girls were whores and that I should avoid them," he said with a fond smile.

"Cross my heart," Luke replied, grinning. "When you see her again, I dare you to mention 'preppy girls' to her-- no, I triple-dog dare you! Now you have to do it!" he said, seeming like a kid again with his wide, innocent smile.

"Probably not," Luke replied. "But she'll get all huffy and storm off, I bet."

Alex chuckled. "Good. I'd hate to get in the middle of something where you have to come save me again." she replied. Then she paused a moment. ".....and.....about what you said earlier when you woke up. You'd what?"

Luke blinked, thinking back to what he had said-- and then he blushed crimson. This in itself, in addition to his pheromones (which gave off embarrassment and attraction), would be enough of an answer to Alex even without a verbal response, which Luke gave anyway:
"Well... If I found out someone had hurt you... I'd probably hurt them," he said.
