Life had been pretty hectic for Kalypso and the Eternals. Hectic enough to keep her out of New York for quite some time and that meant time away from Jack. She had meant to see him as soon as she got back, but Eli had come to town and there was the whole mess with the Avengers.

Now that she was back in New York and there were no emergencies, she had to go see him. She landed on the fire escape outside of his apartment and knocked on the window.

"Just a little one," she said. "Dad didn't bother to tell me the last time I was on Titan. That's the annoying part about all of this. I had to find out during the middle of a crisis."

She shrugged. "We haven't had much time to spend together. Things on Titan were rough and then we came back to Earth to take care of the deviants in the two cities. Then it was rebuilding."

	He rubbed her back to offer comfort. "He's on Earth now? In New York?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes and no. He's still in Olympia helping with the rebuilding. I came back here to recharge a bit and see you." Her fingertips trailed lightly over the curve of his hip. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack kissed her temple. "I'm glad you did. When things get better for you and the other Eternals, I'd like to meet him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled when he kissed her. "I'll see if he's going to stay on Earth for awhile. If he is, I'll make arrangements." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How's Sersi?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-13 01:39 am UTC (link)
	"Being serious and responsible for a change," Kal answered. "She's helping with the rebuilding. I think she and my Dad may be having another fling." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack chuckled just a little. "At least she's too occupied to try and move you in before we're ready?" he suggested. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-13 01:49 am UTC (link)
	Kal chuckled. "There is that. Anything to keep her mind off of that." Sersi had good intentions, but sometimes she didn't realize that other people moved at a different speed than she did. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm just glad she thinks I'm okay for her little girl." He snuggled into her and tasted her skin. "Delicious." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-13 01:57 am UTC (link)
	Kal giggled when he took a taste. "Silly man. She adores you. If she didn't, she would have turned you into a cat or some other small furry animal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-04-13 02:08 am UTC (link)
	He licked her again. "If she turned me into a cat, I'd still be in love with you and people would talk." Another lick. "People have a name for that sort of thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-13 02:12 am UTC (link)
	Kal giggled more. "That they do. If she ever does turn you into a small furry animal, I promise I'll find someone to turn you back. Transmutation is one thing I can't do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-04-13 02:20 am UTC (link)
	He licked again, working his way over her throat and added tiny bites along her collar bone. "Don't let anybody neuter me when I'm a small furry animal," he added, trying for mock seriousness and getting lost in the smell and taste of her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The giggles faded and were replaced with moans. "I promise I won't let anyone do that. It'd be against my best interests." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He moved lower, shifting on the bed to get comfortable and have more skin access. "On the other hand, I could crawl under your blankets every night and lick your toes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-13 03:06 am UTC (link)
	"You can always crawl under my blankets and lick anything you want. Going to tell me about the bruises and how you got them?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The second she mentioned them, they twinged and reminded him that he'd been oh, so pleasantly occupied long enough to forget them. He gathered her against his side. "They're not bad now," he began. "I was doing some research and managed to come across a shady owner trying to illegally clear a block of tenements that should be refurbished from the ground up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-13 03:32 am UTC (link)
	"And what happened to them?" she asked. She didn't mind putting herself in harm's way, she couldn't die unless the circumstances were extreme, but Jack was a different story. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's still confusing me. There seemed to be two gangs fighting each other, and one of them trying to drive the people out. There were a few freelance people off the street helping the residents. Then they all cleared out and it was quiet again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-04-13 03:40 am UTC (link)
	She frowned for a brief moment. "Just be careful," she said to him. "You better not let anything happen to you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-04-13 10:42 am UTC (link)
	"I won't," he promised. He fell silent thinking about it. "I didn't set out to put on a costume and patrol the streets like my dad did. New York isn't even my city." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sometimes we don't get to pick what we are or what we want to do. Sometimes fate picks us. I know I never wanted to be an Eternal and a part of the spandex set." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-04-14 06:38 am UTC (link)
	"New York has given me some great things. You." He kissed her softly. "A sense of why Dad is like he is. Understanding the spandex set better. Dozens of sketchpads full of ideas. I don't know if I believe in fate, but things fell into place so neatly I didn't question how or why." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am glad, very glad, you are here. I don't know what I'd do without you." She kissed him and ran a hand down a bare thigh. "I love you, Jack Murdock. I always will." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
