When planning doesn't work, try chaos (Jenny)

Andy worked diligently at Scion for the last month in preparation for today. When Sydney got hurt, he thought his idea was dead in the water, but it turned out that he had to cut his time-frame short, but he was going to save a ton on air fare. Knowing a teleporting mystic made a lot things better.

When lunch time came around, he showed up ready at Marlow's bungalow.

"Hey, Marlow. I'm ready when you are." he says, knocking on the door.

	It wasn't as instantaneous as her more familiar destinations were, but in a few seconds more they were standing outside the bed and breakfast in the picture. It was big and castle-y. She released his arm and looked up. "It looks like it should have a dragon on a turret." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

This place needs a dragon or somethin'.

Titan's words resound in his head at the same moment that Marlow lets go of his arm and speaks, so Andy is actually staring at her for a moment.

Yes, Titan and Marlow were made for each other.

"The only problem with that," Andy says to both of them, "is that it would scare people away. Mostly. Some people would like to see a dragon, until it started eating people, because that's what dragons do. They eat people." Andy says.

	"But Halbjorn and Svalin would have a lot of fun vanquishing it." She laughed and looked around, turning that contented smile on him again. "It's a good thing there isn't a dragon. You wouldn't want to spend all your time fighting a dragon and saving Princess Jenny. I'll wait out here for you and then pop you on Excalibur's front porch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andy nods and heads inside to check in for him and Jenny. A few minutes later, he's back outside with Marlow. "Okay, we're good here. Time to go get a beautiful bookworm." he smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This time she had no need to touch him. They were on Excalibur's door a very few seconds later. "Call when you're ready to come home. I hope you have a really good time, Andy. You deserve it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks, Marlow. I appreciate it." Andy says, reaching over to hug Marlow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It was a surprise, but Marlow hugged him back enthusiastically. She quite liked Andy, especially now that he and Titan seemed to be getting along better. "Don't get banned from England," she advised. "It's not like getting banned from Disneyland for life." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If I do, I'm stealing Jenny on my way out." Andy grins, before letting Marlow go and turning to knock on the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jenny heard the door on her way from the kitchen to the stairs up to her room. She was dressed for an evening at home in a faded shirt of Rob's and old gym shorts that had seen better days more. The most exciting thing she had planned was a lot, hot bath and a book.

She opened the door expecting to see one of Quinn's fans or maybe a meter reader. What she saw was Andy standing alone on the step.

She blinked at Andy before smiling. "It's not my birthday."

	"No, it's not, but I'm here to apologize for being the world's worst boyfriend and hoping you'll give me a chance to make it up to you." Andy says. "Do I get a kiss or am I that far in the dog-house?" he asks, grinning. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tabula_rasa 2011-05-14 06:03 pm UTC (link)
	She went directly into his arms with a kiss. "Forgive you for what? Is everything all right? How did you get here? Why didn't you tell you were coming? How long can you stay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gammagodling 2011-05-14 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	"For not being here soon. Yes, everything is fine now. Marlow gave me a lift. I wanted to surprise you...and I can only stay until tomorrow night, which is why I want to know how fast you can pack." Andy says with a big smile. "I found a place we can go for tonight and most of tomorrow." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tabula_rasa 2011-05-15 12:07 am UTC (link)
	"You'd be surprised how fast I can pack." She pulled him inside and shut the door. "It'll go faster if you don't help, but could be fun if you want to watch." She laughed and kissed him again. "This is the best surprise. C'mon upstairs with me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gammagodling 2011-05-15 01:31 am UTC (link)
	"All right. You're on." Andy says, following Jenny upstairs. "Hey, your teammates aren't around, are they? Are they going to call out the National Guard if they don't see you every few hours?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If I disappear they're more likely to call Rob, but now I wonder what you've heard about Excalibur." She ushered him into her room where YC rested on the end of the bed. The big cat lifted his head at the sight of Andy. "I have a cell phone and I'll leave a note on the fridge that no one calls me unless it's absolutely necessary." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Only what you've told me so far. I'm just hoping their the ask questions first, shoot later type of friends. Otherwise, it could get unpleasant." Andy says.

He looks at YC and smiles, ignoring Titan's voice in his head.

It's a Hell-Beast, Walters! You need to let me out so I can kill it!

Andy shakes his head and looks back to Jenny.

"So, uh, this is the famous Yankee Clipper? He's got the whole orange-and-white ball of fluff thing going." Andy grins.

Jenny pulled out an overnight bag and set it on the bed. YC immediately rose to climb inside and claim it. "They're a good bunch of people. Haven't seen any of them bring a gun to a fight, so I think you're safe. Don't worry, I'll protect you."

YC was removed and set on the floor. The cat went to Andy to sniff at his shoe. After a few seconds, he rubbed against Andy's leg.

"Yankee Clipper is pretty harmless. Opinionated as a cat can get, but he hasn't bit anybody in years."

	Andy looks down at YC and offers a little bit of a scratch behind the ears. Titan still didn't like this, but mostly grumbled to himself. "Well, he seems nice enough." Andy says, turning his attention to YC. "Hey, buddy. Do you mind if I borrow your my High Priestess for awhile? We have some, uh, religious stuff to attend to. Yeah, that's about right." Andy says.

YC accepted the ear scratching as due payment for Andy's temporary possession of his human and flicked his tail on the way out of the room. Human religious practices didn't interest him much.

"At least he's not insisting on going with us," Jenny said, grinning. "He must like you, he left you alone with me in a room with a bed." She completed packing by tossing in a set of silky pajamas that might get worn and reached into the closet for a pair of jeans and a shirt. "He's adopted the rest of the team so he'll forgive me for disappearing for a day or so."

	"Good to hear, because I'd hate to fight your cat for the right to take you out." Andy smirks. "Now, I've got us a room with a bed and a view...but if you want to stay in this room with a bed, I can be talked into it...maybe." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jenny closed the bedroom door and began taking off her lounging clothes. "Do you really want to stay here?" She let the old gym shorts drop to the floor. "I'd hate to let a view go to waste. We'd have to be more quiet here or face critique in the morning." She winked at him and kicked the shorts aside. "Do we have time for a proper hello?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gammagodling 2011-05-15 03:16 am UTC (link)
	Andy takes off his shirt and smiles. "I suppose we've got time for a hello before we leave. I'd hate to keep you waiting." he says, pulling her into a kiss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tabula_rasa 2011-05-15 03:33 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe a 'I missed you so much' while we're at it?" Jenny snuggled into him and offered up...everything. "I love being your high priestess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gammagodling 2011-05-15 03:36 am UTC (link)
	"There aren't even /words/ for how much I missed you, Jenny. But I'll try to find a few." he says, leading her to bed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tabula_rasa 2011-05-15 04:54 am UTC (link)
	The next time Jenny saw the clock it was more than two hours later. There wasn't one spot on her body that didn't feel wonderful or cherished. Her demigod didn't need to find the words. She shifted around to get closer, her cheek against his chest. "Tell me your plans for the next twenty-four hours. I don't want to miss a second that you're here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
