The tide is coming in, and the shadow of the cliff has been slowly retreating from Syd's sleeping form. Simon hasn't wanted to rest. He could use years more of that and a thousand year of this...waves, rocks, a sun rising and her cradled lightly in his arms and pulling in close for warmth. He knew giving in wasn't going to cure him. Being with Syd was only going to make everything he was feeling for her more intense and complicated.

Simon was good at reading his partners, and there were answers he was finally able to extract from Sydney. Some women that had terrific minds turned into sex kittens when they had a chance to relax. Syd wasn't, and that had surprised him. She was still all brains, even in bed. She used that mind to create an intense and extremely focused sensuality and targeted physical awareness. Of course he wasn't her type. Whether she knew it or not, she needed someone with just as much mental stamina as physical endurance. Her memory was almost a guarantee she'd be able to read a man's body like one of her books; lingering over the good parts while skimming through any set up, and God help you if you were boring. It was probably the reason she wasn't all that experienced (at least not recently), but frankly, most men were not going to be able to handle her.

He kept pushing the "what now?" question out of his mind. By this point, most women wanted him to shower and then lock the door behind him as he left. He was a few hours into this reverie when his watch made up his mind for him, specifically, the alert that Swarm is in the Galleria...again When do Nazi bees ever die?

He takes enough time to float slowly up the side of the cliff to Syd's room to settle her into bed. He smoothed her hair back and kissed her forehead goodbye before taking off to be a big damn hero.

	Syd stepped into the room and shut the door behind her. "You know I can't do that. You knew she would eventually come here looking for you. It's time to face the consequences of your actions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Grace sighed, sitting up in bed, rubbing at her eyes. "I guess you're right." She sighed. "Is she really mad at me?" Though she didn't know why she bothered asking. Her Mom was downright pissed at her, and she knew it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Syd sat down on the edge of the bed next to her. She took a sip of coffee and silently wished it was mead.

"I don't know. I would imagine she's upset, but more importantly she is probably more worried." Syd gave her a small smile. "The part about being a parent is that you never stop worrying about your kids, ever. Then when they up and disappear, well it's a lot of worrying. It may help your case if you start by apologizing for making her worry and then go from there. And the most important thing you can do is try to keep your temper."

	"She's probably more pissed at me than worried," Grace muttered under breath. Mom's word was Law and she wasn't going to be all that happy with Grace when she found out why she really came to the Defenders. If she hadn't figured it out already or something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You may be right, but remember, she's your mother. She loves you no matter what and she will forgive you." Syd didn't think she was doing a good job at being reassuring. "I called Simon. He should be on his way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I wouldn't bet on it," Grace mumbled. She sighed. This wasn't going to be pretty. "Mind if I get dressed then? I promise I won't fly out the window." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If I have to send a godling after you, there will be trouble miss." Despite the tone, there was a smile on Syd's face. "No matter what, Grace, you will always have a place here with us and if you can't stay you can visit any time you like." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll stay strictly earthbound, I promise." Grace managed a small smirk. "And thank you, Syd. I've really enjoyed my stay here. Everyone's been great." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-02-23 02:34 am UTC (link)
	"You're welcome, sweetheart," she said with a smile and then hugged Grace. "Good luck. I'll be around if you need a referee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-02-23 02:39 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks Syd," she said returning the hug. "I'm going to need it." When Syd left, Grace fought the urge to really fly out the window before getting dressed. As slowly as possible. (Reply to this)(Parent)
