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.

	"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)

	"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)

	Carol is still silent, before she turned to Grace. "Would you finish high school?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Grace blinked. Wait...what? "Yeah...of course I would." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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)

	Carol frowned. "I don't want to. But....I think I owe this to you." Damn the guilt that was now eating at her stomach. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can really stay?" Grace blinked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Carol sighed. "If it's what you really want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Grace, this isn't just to defy your mother," he admits, the purple glow slowly fading from his skin. "I want you here. I want to be part of your life, but there's a lot of ways to do that and you need to do right by you. If you need time to think about it, I don't think either of us are going anywhere until we know what you need here, honey. Either way, it's going to work out, all right?"

	Grace nodded. "I want to stay, though. Really." (Reply to this)(Parent)
