As he pondered while weary
It was late on the fourth day of Mark's absence from the JSA Brownstone. He was tired now and wanted very little to do with anyone. He did have a distinct feeling that Cat was going to be upset with him though.

He should have called. But he had been busy. Now he was tired and just wanted to stare at the coffee machine for a bit. Suddenly it struck him that there were several people who were going to be annoyed. He had skipped out on Thanksgiving this year because of the Tower. He had been called there to deal with something deep in the basement and forgot to tell anyone where he was going.

He feels very guilty about that now. Tess will be calm about it. But Cat?

He has some groveling to do. Lots and lots of groveling.

	There was a gust of wind and Iris came speeding by. She pulled up and walked back. "Mark. Welcome back." She grinned. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	He blinked then rocked back on his heels. "Hello Iris." He still isn't quite used to speedsters and how fast they can be."It was four days, yes?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Four days too long and without telling us. We were worried. Next time leave a note," Iris admonished. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I felt drawn away." He looks guilty now. "Next time I'll leave a note." Now here's were he smirks. "I think I owe Cat some groveling." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You better and yes you do. Lots of groveling. Is there coffee? That thing takes forever." Then again forever to Iris is anything over five seconds. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm tempted to beg for you to go buy gas station coffee," Mark groans. "I'm way too tired." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantcatchme 2011-11-29 12:02 am UTC (link)
	"How about a Starbucks run? I can be there and back in five minutes. Of course most of the five minutes is for them to get the coffee." It still was forever in Iris' eyes, but it wasn't as bad as /waiting/ for the coffeemaker. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you Iris." He pulls out his wallet and hands her a twenty. "Some kind of baked good too? Would this cover that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantcatchme 2011-11-29 02:06 am UTC (link)
	Iris snatched the twenty out of his hand. "Yup. Be back in a flash." She laughed and then took off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He will never get used to speedsters. Mark is still amused though by what happened. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantcatchme 2011-11-29 02:23 am UTC (link)
	Five minutes later Iris zipped back into the place and handed Mark a coffee and a small paper bag. "There you go." She grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2011-11-29 02:54 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks," he says digging into the brown bag first. He needed both food and caffeine. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantcatchme 2011-11-29 04:18 am UTC (link)
	"No prob. Thank you. You bought my coffee," Iris said as she held up another cup of coffee. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Cat had gotten the message that Mark was back. And at first, she was relieved. And then she was angry. And then she was relieved again. And then she was back to angry. And it was angry that held her when she got to the Brownstone. "Where's that no good, no calling, sneaky son of a gun who calls himself a man!?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2011-11-29 02:46 am UTC (link)
	He kind of wants to hide. Angry Cat is scary but he looks too tired to flee. "I'm sorry." He stands there and looks down slightly. "You can deck me if you'd like." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2011-11-29 03:03 am UTC (link)
	Cat pulled back an arm. "I oughta knock you inta next week..." And then she was hugging him, possibly more tightly than was healthy for his ribs or lungs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2011-11-29 03:12 am UTC (link)
	"I'm so sorry," he chokes out then hugs her. "I had to go to the Tower. I lost track of the days and..." He doesn't even notice that he's shaking. "That place scares me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2011-11-29 03:23 am UTC (link)
	"I gotcha..." she said softly, still squeezing. "I gotcha..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There was an abomination in the basement.... If Ms Craft had not shown up I would still be there fighting it. Nabu would not let me retreat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2011-11-29 05:26 pm UTC (link)
	"Reckon I'm much obliged to her then," Cat said. "And reckon I owe Nabu that decking'." (Reply to this)(Parent)
