Rude Awakening (Open to JSA)
Some days everything goes wrong. First Mark had lost his wallet. Then he had split coffee on his boss. Followed by dripping ink on a new shirt. That wasn't the worse that could happen though.

His toaster oven caught on fire when he went home. Then after that was taken care of Dr Fate had to step in. There was trouble. The details are fuzzy even to Dr Fate himself. But he didn't win the fight,. He was bloody, sore, an innocent bystander had died, and instead of going back to Mark's apartment somehow he ended up in the JSA headquarters.

He had no idea how. He was going to leave when all of the sudden he lost any energy he had and just toppled over crashing into a table right before he slumped onto the floor.

Today things were going to change. He just didn't know it yet on account of passing out on the floor.

	"That might be, Doc, but you're the one who doesn't know where he is and dresses up in a uniform he doesn't recognize to fight criminals. So it looks like we're all nuts." Rex says. "Let me get you a drink, and we'll go ahead sort all this out." Rex says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I don't remember dressing up like this," Mark says shaking his head. "I just remember being tired all of the goddamn time and weird bruising on my body. I thought I was going insane these past few months."

He shakes his head. "This is insane."

Now he just stares at the uniform. He has no idea how to make it go away. And it doesn't help he feels like the Helmet is staring at him. "Is there any reason why I can't remember what happened? There's this.... big blank."

	"The helmet says it's been protecting you. Doesn't want you to get freaked out and do something crazy. I did mention that not telling you would probably get the same effect, but that didn't work out. Of course, this was after we tried to go all WWE on each other, so...yeah." he says.

Mark burst out laughing after he thinks that over for a moment. He couldn't help it. The idea of this guy and him beating the tar out of each other is pretty funny. Until his ribs start hurting again and he clothes his side while slickly calming down.

"Right. I think I'll need to call in sick to work or something. I'm .... in no condition to do much more than sit. And wonder why the hell the damn thing picked me. I'm a librarian."

	Nic shuffled back in, dressed more appropriately and with her hair combed and pulled back. She brought the first aid kit over to her brother and then carefully made sure she stayed Out Of The Way. "Librarians are cool," she did offer though, quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	More properly dressed, Wendi returned to the kitchen. "The original Doctor Fate was an archeologist," she said, catching part of the conversation. "The helmet seems to find people in the oddest places." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah, I thought it was funny too, a couple of days later. That night, not so much." Rex says, taking the first aid kit from Nic.

He still doesn't look at Nic, because he's not sure he won't still put her on a plane back to Egypt the first chance he gets.

"The helmet's got a plan for you, and I'm not one to test fate, so to speak. I'm sure it'll tell you what it wants soon enough." Rex says.

	Staying out of the way, Nic elected to hold down a chair in the kitchen by sitting on it and trying not to be noticed. Period. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mark rubs his face down with one hand. He has no clue what to do. The knowledge that he's a super hero of some kind doesn't sit well with the librarian. He still has to deal with this though.

"All right. Say I accept that I'm Doctor Fate all of the sudden. What do I do? I'm not in a position where I can drop things all the time because there are problems.... I have a job. Disappearing all the time is a fast way to loose it."

	"You know, Doc Fate doesn't seem like the type of guy to stop muggings. Maybe the helmet's got something a little more involved for you to work on. You two could always talk it over." Rex says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think such conversations might work better once breakfast foods have been consumed. I can go acquire us some eats." She looked at Rex. "And I swear I'll come back in one piece and in short order." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Rex has almost forgotten that his sister was there until she spoke up.

"Hey, Wendi-Pants. You mind going to get some food for everyone? I'll toss you some cash for it." Rex says.

"Nicolette is going to keep her ass in a chair where I can see her until I've had a chance to come down from the murderous rage her all-night outing put me in." Rex says, trying to keep the anger out of his voice.

	"I would help but.... My wallet isn't here," Mark says in a dry tone as he starts to sit up. He is in less pain but quite hungry right now. "And I hope you people eat unhealthy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nic grumbled a little. This wasn't going to smooth over at all. "Bacon. As long as it has bacon, I'm good." She sat down in a chair and pulled her wings about herself and sulked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2010-05-26 12:02 am UTC (link)
	Rex passes Wendi some cash for food, and nods at her to get something with bacon for Nicolette. "Yeah, we try to eat as unhealthy as possible. Salads are for rabbits and chefs." Rex says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mark wobbles to his feet. Coffee. He wants coffee. This is when people will have to remind Mark staring at the coffee maker will not make it work. "Nrgh. Take however long you want." Coffee. He wants it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Down, buddy. I can do coffee." Nic starts to get up and then stops, looking back at Rex. "Right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The not super-quick version, then," Wendi replied. She headed for the door. "Okay, I'll be back." And she's out of there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rex looks over at Nicolette. "You get up, you make the coffee. You bring it back and then you reattach your ass to that chair and don't even twitch a wing. Conditions set. Go." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-06-29 04:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, sir." She walked, head down, to the kitchen, and did exactly what Rex said, bringing back the coffee and handing mugs to Rex. She'd directly offer a mug to the now awake dude, but she didn't want to get bitched at. Without even a peep, she went back to the chair, tugging her wings so she could half sit on them to avoid twitches. Summer was going to suck. (Reply to this)(Parent)
