"How did you get this number?"

...

"No, I don't think that is a good idea."

...

"There is a reason she didn't tell you. Your world is no place for me."

...

"I can't. Goodbye."

Calypso hung up the cell phone Lian had given her and turned it off. She didn't want another unexpected call from that man again. The simple fact that she had met him went against everything she wanted. She didn't want to meet her father, and she certainly didn't want to be recognized as his daughter. It wasn't that she hated him or disliked him. Calypso just wasn't made for that world. Her world was set to a different tone -- it was darker, dirtier, rougher, and tougher.

After that call, she needed something else to keep her mind at ease. She went upstairs to the ground floor of the Outsiders compound and started cooking Hamburger Helper. It was her favorite meal. Creamy Chicken Noodle was her comfort flavor.

	"I'd need to have someone to have sex with in order to use condoms, Cal," Lian said with a laugh. "Besides, I'm going to be way to tired to even think of sex." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What about Cerdian? That was his name, right?" She hadn't officially met him, but she knew of him and some of the things he had done for Lian. Nothing too in depth, of course. But she had the general idea that he liked her. "You'll have help with the children. I'll try my best to help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Cerdian and I...aren't exactly speaking right now," Lian said, tensing a little. She smiled at her friend. "You don't strike me as the type to change diapers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Diapers?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lian blinked. She didn't really know how to explain diapers to Calypso. "You can't exactly potty-train infants." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Um... ok," she replied. She checked on the Hamburger Helper to see if it was done. It wasn't just yet, but it was close. "J'anna can change the diapers," she stated, passing off that job to the housemaid martian. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll take care of the diapers," Lian said with a laugh. "I'm not going to force it off onto someone else." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tim walks into the kitchen in his workout clothes just then, going for a bottle of water. "Ladies." he says simply, opening the bottle and taking a drink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Calypso smirked and took the pan off of the stove. The Hamburger Helper was finished. When Tim walked in, Calypso nodded to him. "Tim," she replied. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lian smiled at him. "Hey Tim," she said. "You're just in time for Hamburger Helper." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hellllooo, ladies," Joey said, as he entered the kitchen. "Ex-Boy Wonder." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, I don't think I can stay. I was just getting in a work-out before I go meet with a few investors for Neon Knights. Hopefully, things are going to start getting better for kids in the Triangle after today." Tim says. He nods to Joey. "Hey, Lian...can I talk to you for a minute in private?" he asks.

	"Sure, Tim," Lian said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hello, Joey," Calypso replied, holding him in her sights for a little while and smiling before returning to the food. She needed plates. One for Lian and one for her. And one for Joey? "Do you want some?" she asked him. Tim and Lian could talk in private, and Calypso would stay and talk with Joey. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	the_element_son 2011-05-27 12:57 am UTC (link)
	Joey grinned. "Yeah, sounds great, thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	terra_mater 2011-05-27 01:16 am UTC (link)
	She grabbed three plates and filled them with the food. She handed one to Joey, and offered him a fork. "You're welcome." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	the_element_son 2011-05-27 02:04 am UTC (link)
	Joey took a seat and accepted the fork. "So how's by you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Calypso sat down next to him. "I'm well," she lied. "What about you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Doing pretty good, actually," he said. "Been patching things up with my dad, mostly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Is that difficult to do?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	the_element_son 2011-05-30 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	Joey kinda shrugged. "Not as bad as you'd think. I spent so much time listening to my Grandpa when I should be listening to Mom..." "We're working on it, I guess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Calypso looked away for a moment, toward the phone, and then looked back to Joey. She was thinking about something. "I'm glad you're doing something about it. Maybe that is something everybody should think of doing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	the_element_son 2011-06-01 12:27 am UTC (link)
	Even Joey, who was so dense his head might as well have been made of lead, caught that. "Somethin' on your mind, Cal?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	terra_mater 2011-06-01 12:38 am UTC (link)
	What was she supposed to say to that? Was she supposed to lie to him and say everything was fine? "I... yes, sort of," she replied. She was a little hesitant, simply because she didn't want to push her own problems onto Joey. "I got a call on the phone today, and I'm not sure where this person got my number."
