Olympic Level Action
The Olympics, as everyone knew, were being held in Canada this year. Canada took this very seriously. Canada took everything that put it on the international stage seriously, which meant that they were taking security for the Olympics very seriously. Which meant using their very own super-hero team. Which meant, of course, Alpha Flight.

Fortunately, it had been quiet so far and with nothing that could not be handled by regular security had happened.

Marrina was just glad there was no Atlantean team. It left her free to root for Canada. They'd done well, but but nearly as well as she'd like.

She tapped her communicator. "This is Marrina, checking in at the hockey rink. No problems here."

	Alex was with Mel as always. A loose animal would not be looked upon too kindly. He was perched on her shoulder in his monkey form since the papers specified that form. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Everything's okay at the Coliseum," Mel said through the com. "And very pretty, too." Canada had already won one figure skating medal so far. "Alex and I're going to get lunch in a minute; call us if you need us." When that's done she looks to Alex. "Um, I hope you don't mind company with lunch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mel looks a little concerned at first, but then smiles again and says "Great." And they'll head away from the coliseum to the nearby park, Mel looking around eagerly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This is the greatest thing ever. Being paid to watch hockey. As occasional team leader, he's even gotten to drop the puck at a Canada game. Sure, it was the early rounds, but still. "All clear here. All the fights are on the ice." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	A hand pats Jordan on the back. A man with salt and pepper hair, a burger in one hand, and a brunette on the other arm, grins at him. "Hey there kiddo. Our tax dollars hard at work, or hardly working?" Madison grins at his son, leaning in for their usual light shoulder-check as their hands are full. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Lillian, having none of her husband's male-oriented restraint for their boys, wastes no time putting a bear hug on Jordan, kissing his cheek. "There's my big strong boy." She smiles, happy to see him 'at work'. "Look at you, all thinking you're grown up." She smirks teasingly.

"How've you and Mason been doing? I got his letters, but I still don't think he gets the concept of a bad day, so I take them with a grain of salt." She chuckled. She loved her younger son's optimism, but it went to the far end of the spectrum now and again.

	He returns the hug with an equal lack of restraint, glad to see them here. "Nah, if I was all grown up I'd probably need to quit playing superhero and get a day job. Been doing great though, and he seems to be adapting well. He introduce you to his girlfriend?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Madison blinks, speaking around a mouthful of cheeseburger. "Girlfriend?" Lillian chuckles. "He made me promise not to tell your father until they could meet in person. We're meeting him for dinner, and he should be bringing her along. You coming too?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Meet The Jeffries

Mason waved to his parents across the restaurant where his parents had said to meet them. He tugged Marrina along by one arm, grinning from ear to ear. Today was turning out to be the single best day of his life. In thanks for breaking up the fight that had started, the Canadian team had actually given him one of their jackets! Ben Hebert had even signed it!

Best. Day. Ever.

	Jordan heads in with all his characteristic energy, pausing mostly to open doors for Emily. On spotting Mason, he waves, and grins broadly. "Oh, hey Midget... awesome jacket. Saves me the trouble, I knew you wanted one, so I've been looking all day, but couldn't find one in extra-small." he offers, cheerfully. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marrina was glad Mason was happy. Even if it was just curling. Just because she didn't get it didn't mean she couldn't enjoy his happiness. While they'd really only been on a handful of dates, she still felt her heart thudding in her chest. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Emily smiles, holding onto Jordan's arm. Ever since the trip to New York, she's been particularly cuddly with him. Some part of her assumes that eventually her mother will find out and try to put a stop to it, but in the meantime, she'll enjoy it while she can. "Hey, Mason! Hey, Marrina!" Emily greets cheerfully.

Madison and Lil wave back to the approaching swarm of teenagers. They recognize Emily from photos her mother has sent, but Marrina's a new face.

Madison gives his youngest a grin and nods his head, as if to say 'niiice'.

Lil smacks him, then beckons the kids over. "Boys, hold out chairs for your ladies." She smiles at them. "Girls, I'm Lillian and this is Madison. Thank you for not letting our sons burn the headquarters down so far."

Jordan pulls out his mother's chair first, then Emily's. He's done this enough times, both at his mother's insistence, and at functions for the re-opening of Bochs Electronics with his patents that the formal manners are almost second nature by now. He actually can clean up pretty nice, when he has to.

"Yeah, we tried, but they never let us have any fun. Mason, you got it ok over there? If you need a booster seat, I can grab one."

Ok, so he's only mostly on best behavior. Little brothers have special rules.
