Reunion

Jacob had been standing, contemplating the builiding in front of him for a good few minutes. He took a few more deeps breaths.

"You can do this, Rothstein. Suck it up."

With those words he walked up to the door, checking the address for the upteenth time. trying not to stare at his shoes. "Here goes nothing."

He knocks on the door.

	And someone answers the door. A tall skinny looking fellow with a hooked nose. He dresses a little bit on the conservative side with slacks and a dress shirt and gas the air of someone who has always been a little old. "Hello. Can I help you?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Um, yeah.." Jacob may have been the taller of the two, though he was by far the more uncomfortable. "Is..is this the JSA brownstone?" Jacob takes another nervous glance at the card Cat gave him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes," he steps back to give the younger man room. "Please come in. I wasn't told we were expecting company today. I'm Mark Clearwater." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Jacob Rothstein," Jacob ducked a bit under the doorway. "I'm not here for anything formal. I.." He scratches the back of his head. "I'm..an old friend of some of the members. I ran into Cat grant the other day and she said I should stop by. It's..it's been a long time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2011-06-07 01:20 am UTC (link)
	"Ah." He was going to swallow any automatic creations he had to that. He has a thing for Cat but Cat can be friends with anyone she wants to. Besides Jacob seems familiar. "Well.... it's good to have you stop in. I'm a ah, rather recent addition to the team. I've only been here around a year." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	atomic_legacy 2011-06-07 01:27 am UTC (link)
	"Oh? How's the 'life' been treating you?" Jacob asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2011-06-07 01:31 am UTC (link)
	He shrugs slowly. "Not poorly. I like everyone I've met on our side. And this doesn't stop me from my usual activities," he says carefully. "I'm a librarian, you see." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	atomic_legacy 2011-06-07 01:35 am UTC (link)
	Jacob's eyes light up a bit at that. "Oh yeah? I do a fair bit of reading myself. Aside from mechanics it's my favorite hobby." Jacob frowned a bit. "Reminds a little of Mr. Hall. He loved books." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mikey walked by fiddling around with his gauntlet being followed by PATTON and McArthur. He was check out a few things on the internet right now. He had not particularly noticed the others. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	atomic_legacy 2011-06-07 01:40 am UTC (link)
	Jacob turned at the guy who just walked by. He caught a glimpse of his face. Was that..? "Mike? Mikey Dugan?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2011-06-07 02:19 am UTC (link)
	"I'm not familiar with him... I sort of try to hide during the big gatherings." He stops and grins a little. "Mikey we have company." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	botmaster 2011-06-07 02:37 am UTC (link)
	It takes a few moments for the words to register in his head since he had been deep in thought. "Company, yes I can see that," He says. OK this guy seems really familiar, Mikey thought Now if I could just place who he was. "Hey... you," Mikey says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	atomic_legacy 2011-06-07 12:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Jacob Rothstein..Atom-Smasher's kid." Jacob didn't like associating himself with his dad's heroic alter-ego, but he figured it would be the quickest way for Mike to remember. "We use to hang out as kids. Don't feel bad for not remembering me...it's been ten years afterall." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	botmaster 2011-06-07 02:36 pm UTC (link)
	Mikey thought for a moment. "Oh yeah. I remember you,"Mikey says, "Still interested in mechanics?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	atomic_legacy 2011-06-07 03:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, I'm down and NYU Tech. learning what I can. I'm not in Dad's league yet, but I hope to be. How have you been? Still tinkering I see." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We've got company?" Wendi asked, as she came into the room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2011-06-07 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes. an old friend apparently," Mark offers up with a faint shrug. "I don't know if you would know him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	atomic_legacy 2011-06-07 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	Jacon turned at the new voice and smiled and gave a wave. "Hey Wendi." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	botmaster 2011-06-07 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	"If you need any help with that stuff let me know," Mikey says, "I've been good. Been building more robotics and weapons. Been doing more upgrades to the my car that dad and me rebuilt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	3x2_9yz_4a 2011-06-07 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	Crap, crap, crap... did she know this guy? "Uh... hey?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	atomic_legacy 2011-06-08 12:03 am UTC (link)
	"It's me, Jacob, Jacob Rothstein. When we were kids you used to ride on my shoulders." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	3x2_9yz_4a 2011-06-08 12:23 am UTC (link)
	Jacob? "Oh... Oh, God," Wendi said, blushing furiously. "Jacob! I am so sorry...!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	atomic_legacy 2011-06-08 12:36 am UTC (link)
	"It's fine, Wendi. It's been over ten years. I don't blame you for not recognizing me." Everytime he mentioned those ten years, memories of what Mordru did to his father went through his head. He shook the unwelcome memories from his mind, he had old friendships to rekindle. "How've you been? Cat told me you snagged yourself a boyfriend?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	botmaster 2011-06-08 12:41 am UTC (link)
	"I'm going to get going," Mikey says, "I'm probably be in the garage if you want to talk." "Come on let's go," he says to McArthur before moving to head out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	3x2_9yz_4a 2011-06-08 01:05 am UTC (link)
	Wendi blushed a little bit. "Yeah. Finally." Man, she'd been just a kid really, when Jacob had dropped out of sight. No wonder she didn't remember. "Wouldn't say snagged. Nic got him for me as a Christmas present." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Good for you. You and I were always the shy ones so maybe there's some hope for me finding someone special myself." He teased with a smile. His expression changed from happy to a little guilty. "Listen Wendi, I'm..I'm sorry for dissappearing like I did. I wasn't in a good place for a long time and I handled it badly. I don't know if your folks told you or if you saw it, that doesn't matter. I ran from you guys and.." He looks down, a somewhat odd sight for a guy standing at 6'6, suddenly shy and solemn. "I'm really sorry."

	Wendi looked up at him. "Dad told me a little about what happened," she said. "But really, Jacob, you don't have to apologize to me. I was, like, eight when you dropped out of sight. Just a kid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	atomic_legacy 2011-06-08 05:44 pm UTC (link)
	"True, but you were also my friend. I should have at least said goodbye." So far so good. They were very undertsanding, though a few others were left unspoken for. "I just hope Nic doesn't punch me in the face, not that i wouldn't deserve it to an extent." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Maybe more likely to mace you. She really likes that thing," Wendi said. "But if she tries, move to the left. She usually goes right." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	atomic_legacy 2011-06-08 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	Jacob flinched at the thought. "Thanks for the advice. I'm not very fast though." It was a half-joke. Nic had a temper even as kids. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	3x2_9yz_4a 2011-06-08 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	"And if she does hit you, well, she usually calms down after she's done that. Probably won't do it again." Wendi might be kidding. (Reply to this)(Parent)
