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.

	Talk about a bad time to come back into the kitchen. Syd stopped in the doorway. Awkward. Time to turn on a heel and get out of Dodge. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He laughs darkly. "I might be exiled from the Avengers, Blondie -" He sneers, using his old pet name for her. "But I live in Hollywood. I get a free pass to screw anyone I want out here. Hell, it's expected and part of my job." There's more to that thought, but he hears something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Grace will be down in a few moments," Syd said quietly. Right now she just wanted to run out of here. Forget that she just heard that and forget she ever met him. "I'm sorry for interrupting," she said and hurried to leave. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

God hates him. He pissed Her off somehow...or Wanda cursed him or something. Doesn't much matter. Grace is the only thing he has left, and there's no way he's letting go. Not yet. He won't let Carol see him break either.

As Syd goes, he closes his eyes and purple energy begins to crackle around him as his control slips.

"Go." He opens his eyes. His voice is barely a whisper above the ionic crackles emerges from his false skin. "Or throw that punch. doesn't matter. You'll be going back to Boston alone."

	The door opens again, and Ohu comes into the kitchen. Ooh, look! A visitor! "Hi there!" he says in greeting. "You're Miss Marvel, aren't you? I saw you in your comics!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Shit. "Not a good time, Ohu..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-02-23 12:46 pm UTC (link)
	Carol almost did land that punch. "Yes," she said to Ohu, "I am. But Simon's right-this really isn't the best time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2010-02-23 07:18 pm UTC (link)
	Ohu looks between them. "What's wrong?" he asks. "Maybe I can help!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

In for a penny. In for a pound. Energy crackles around him, but his voice is steady. "Carol, this is Ohu Amane. Son of Anasazi, the God of all stories." Yeah, that's a warning. "Ohu, this is Carol Danvers, the former Ms. Marvel." There's just a hint of emphasis on "former."

"She's here to try to take Grace back home forcibly. She is going to leave...quietly, and without Grace."

	Ohu raises his eyebrows and turns to Carol. "What does Grace think about this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-02-23 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	"Grace is coming home with me. End of story." Carol folded her arms over her chest. She's gone toe-to-toe with Gods before. The son of one doesn't frighten her all that much. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2010-02-23 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	Ohu leans forward, and the humor that typically lights his eyes is gone. "And you believe Grace has no say in the matter?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-02-23 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	"Of course I have a say in the matter," Grace was standing in the doorway, her arms folded over her chest, glaring at her mother. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2010-02-23 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	"And what do you want?" Ohu asks, smiling at her, the mischief back in his eyes again. "Do you wish to go with her?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-02-23 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	Grace locked her eyes with her mother. "No. I don't. I'm staying." Mom always won every time they argued. Not this time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-02-23 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	"Pack your things, Grace." Carol glared at her daughter. "You're coming home with me. Now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ohu leans over and puts an arm around Carol.

"You're a superhero, so I will give you a warning," he tells her, a friendly lilt still in his tone. "I have learned at the knee of the best trickster god reality has ever seen. I know how to make someone's life an absolute living hell with very little effort. You don't want me to turn my attention to you and decide that you need to learn a lesson." His voice drops, and Ohu becomes like an entirely different person: deadly serious and barely holding back anger.

"Let your daughter make up her own mind, or you will forever regret ever making my acquaintance."

Then the smile comes back, and he gives her a friendly pat on the shoulder... but his eyes still aren't smiling.

	Carol glared at Ohu. How dare he threaten her like that! She was silent, though, grinding her teeth and fuming at Ohu. Simon. Grace for taking off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pop_trash_hero 2010-02-23 11:25 pm UTC (link)
	"Ohu, I appreciate it, but you don't need to get involved. This is a family thing." There's a slight emphasis on family. Still, he has a sneaking feeling the story godling could amp this up to eleven. "I will call - tomorrow." Door is still open. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2010-02-23 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	Ohu glances at Carol. "If you say so," he says with a shrug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-02-23 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	Carol is still silent, before she turned to Grace. "Would you finish high school?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-02-23 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	Grace blinked. Wait...what? "Yeah...of course I would." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pop_trash_hero 2010-02-23 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	He rolls his eyes. "Beverly Hills high schools exist in real life, Carol." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-02-23 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	"I was asking her, not you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-02-23 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Wait Mom..." Grace was a little confused. Her Mom had been ready to drag her ass back to Boston five seconds ago. "Are you saying that...I can stay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
