Lowkey.
*takes place after Gretel*

For once Summers had been reasonable; he hadn't insisted on full debriefing and medical examinations when Tina and X-Force returned from their time-hopping adventures and she was glad for it. Tina wanted to go home. It felt like forever since she'd been there and she wasn't exactly certain what would be waiting for her when she returned. As ironic as it was, she had lost track of time, at least in her own world. To her it was just another evening as she pulled into the garage, killed the engine, and made her way into the house, dropping her keys int he bowl by the door, kicking her shoes off as she went.

	Justin has fallen asleep on the couch, hoping that Tina would be home tonight. There is a cake on the kitchen table from the store, along with two covered silver platters. Justin is no cook, but he did know where to get steak-on-demand. When Tina comes in, he wakes up, looking at her with bleary-eyed. "Oh...surprise!" he smiles. "You're home." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Yeah, I'm home." She smiled at him and moves to the couch, curling up next to him. "Sorry I was gone so long. Damn, I'm glad to see you. I missed you so much." She was oblivious to the things in the kitchen, for the moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Where did you go and are you too tired to celebrate?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-12-15 12:29 am UTC (link)
	"Work stuff. If I told you where I was you'd probably have me committed." She smiled a little at him as she kissed his check. He had the nicest skin and she missed its warmth. "What are we celebrating, hon?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2010-12-15 12:43 am UTC (link)
	"Well, aside from me getting a new brother and kicking bad guy ass...I was going to go with the obvious thing and say your birthday." Justin grins. Then he sees her expression. "It /is/ your birthday, right?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-12-15 12:45 am UTC (link)
	"My birthday isn't until December thirteenth, babe." Tina moves to kiss him and pauses. "....it's December, isn't it? Wait...who told you my birthday?" She had a feeling it was Rose. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2010-12-15 01:20 am UTC (link)
	"It /is/ December 13th. What did they not have clocks or calendars where you were?" he asks jokingly. "You did. I asked one night when you kicked me in your sleep. We talked about birthdays. You said you were making up for missing my birthday with birthday kicks. Then you started snoring again." Justin laughs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"...that certainly sounds like something I would do." She may have had a little bit of a shifty eye action going on there, considering how often she did kick him in her sleep.

"Baby, I've been to ancient Rome and to the American Revolution with a detour in Victorian England. Clocks weren't handy. Remind me not to ever tango with a temporal mutant again, okay? Oh, what about you kicking butt? You mentioned that."

She wanted to change the subject.

	Justin blinks. "Why is it that every time I joke about the least possible thing that could have happened to you, it's always what actually happened to you?" he asks. "Start talking. I want to know everything." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-12-15 01:32 am UTC (link)
	"...because I'm prone to weirdness?" She looked at him hopefully. "I'm not going to get away with kissing you and just repeatedly telling you I'm fine, am I?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2010-12-15 01:57 am UTC (link)
	"Nope. Sorry, but you used your last one of those when you explained why you were sprouting sixty different powers at a time." Justin says. "It makes with the talking or it gets a spanking." Justin decrees. "Wait. No. You'd enjoy that. How about we talk over dinner? Which I got for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-12-15 02:03 am UTC (link)
	Her eyes lit up a little. "Oooh, can it has a spanking after dinner?" She grinned. "You got me dinner? Justin, you're amazing." She kissed him before getting up and offering him a hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2010-12-15 02:15 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, I am. So amazing that we're going to the Stark Charity Ball this weekend and you're going to need a dress." Justin tells her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-12-15 02:19 am UTC (link)
	Tina blinked. "You're taking me to the Stark Charity Ball." She'd forgotten, ever briefly, that she was dating Stark pseudo family now. "Justin...I..." Tina wasn't sure what to say. She hadn't been to a party of this magnitude in several years and the last one she'd been to she'd been purchased for the night by Benedict Kine. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2010-12-15 03:00 am UTC (link)
	"Well, yes, I'd like to do that...unless you don't want to go?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-12-15 03:02 am UTC (link)
	"I just haven't been to anything like that since...a really long time ago." She nodded for a moment. "Do you have any particular color you'd like to see me in?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2010-12-16 01:28 am UTC (link)
	"If I say black, am I being too predictable?" Justin asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-12-16 01:30 am UTC (link)
	"No, not at all. It's classic. And your eyes did almost pop out of your head the first time you saw me dressed up, aka our first date. That dress was black." She smiled. "I'll go with you. I'll be proud to. Just...prepare for odd looks, maybe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2010-12-16 01:41 am UTC (link)
	"Odd looks? For what?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-12-16 01:44 am UTC (link)
	She frowned quietly for a moment. "There will be people there, I'm certain, who know me in a far different capacity." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2010-12-16 01:55 am UTC (link)
	Justin thinks about that for a moment. "If it's going to be uncomfortable for you, we don't need to go. Otherwise, I don't care what anyone says. If someone says something, then I just need to have bail money handy." he grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-12-16 02:02 am UTC (link)
	"Oh lord, no. Noooooo you going to jail. Not like I couldn't bail you out but still. We're going to go, we're going to have a good time, and we're just going to ignore the perverts." She smiles. "It's a big deal, this event. You should be able to show me off if that's your plan...and I don't have to be a telepath to know that's your plan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, my plan is a little more complicated, but we'll go with your version to start." Justin grins.

"So...I got a new brother. He's like me, except he's not. He's from another dimension, like me, but...we're practically the same age." Justin says.

"Oh, and he's white. So now, I have a black sister and a white brother, and I'm related to both by blood." Justin says.

"Is there a song or a movie about that? I meant to ask you." he says.

(Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-12-16 02:10 am UTC (link)
	"Wait, so you're like the transition version between White Brother and Black Sister? I...swear there has to be something about this. Maybe a soap opera. Something. Damn, honey. That's...awesome and freaky at the same time. Do you want to have your siblings over for dinner? I mean, you did meet my dad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2010-12-16 02:20 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, I do. I'd like them meet you before you meet my mom and dad, which is going to take some doing since my parents were never married in this dimension. They'd both have to clear it with their spouses." Justin chuckles. "Hey, I've never met your sisters or your mom. You think they'd be up for dinner sometime?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-12-16 02:22 am UTC (link)
	Tina half-froze at the idea of him meeting her mom. "My sisters? Anytime. Justin...I don't know if you want to meet Emma." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2010-12-16 02:29 am UTC (link)
	"I'm curious about the woman who'd keep you away from your dad. She also let someone take advantage of you and I really need to understand this, because otherwise, I'm gonna flip out on her at the wrong time and...yeah." Justin says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-12-16 02:31 am UTC (link)
	"You...have a point. I wonder...maybe we should have my entire family over. My mother, my biological father, my sisters, and Namor. All at once." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2010-12-16 03:18 am UTC (link)
	"Whoa, kemosabe. That's a little much. Let's take it slow." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-12-16 03:20 am UTC (link)
	"What, you don't think watching them all try to not kill each other wouldn't be fun? You're right, though. I...guess I can call Emma." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2010-12-17 01:34 am UTC (link)
	"How about this? How about we set up a dinner with your sisters and my brother and sister and then we talk about more parent stuff?" Justin suggests. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-12-17 01:36 am UTC (link)
	Tina thinks this over for a moment, though her eyes keep darting to the kitchen. He mentioned food earlier and now she's hungry. "That sounds like a good idea. I think we'll do that. The parents could be more difficult to schedule anyway. Do you think your parents will even like me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2010-12-17 02:24 pm UTC (link)
	"I love you, so I know they will. And if they don't, that's their issue, not mine." Justin says. "So, what do you want for Christmas?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-12-17 05:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, that's easy. You." She grinned at him, mostly serious. "I don't really know, hon. I'm not all that picky and all the things I want are big things. What about you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2010-12-18 03:20 am UTC (link)
	"I'm having the first Christmas of my life where I'm not on the run and worried that someone is going to kill me. I'm spending it with my friends and family. And you. I don't really need anything else." Justin smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-12-19 03:31 am UTC (link)
	"Need or not, you're getting stuff. I'm kind of looking forward to Christmas morning, sitting around in our jammies, watching you open piles of things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2010-12-22 02:20 am UTC (link)
	"I suppose your way works, though I wouldn't mind sleeping in and such. Are you hungry yet?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-12-22 02:22 am UTC (link)
	"I don't like this idea of sleeping in, but I am all for staying in bed longer than usual." She grinned. "I'm starving. Have you not seen me eying the kitchen with a ravenous gleam in my eye?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2010-12-24 03:06 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, why didn't you say so then? Let's eat." Justin says, offering his hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-12-25 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	Taking his hand Tina let him lead her to the kitchen. The cake and the silver trays make her smile and she hugs him tightly. "I can't remember the last time I had a birthday cake." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	iron_hide 2010-12-27 03:29 am UTC (link)
	"Get used to it." he grins, hugging her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whosperfectnow 2010-12-28 04:31 pm UTC (link)
	"I love you, Justin." With a smile she pulled away from him. "I know where we've got some candles. And then after we eat, well." Tina's lips spread into a somewhat wicked grin. "I plan to unwrap my present." It was code. (END) (Reply to this)(Parent)
