Adventures in Babysitting (Misha)
Anya finally had a long weekend where she didn't have to be traveling somewhere in the world for Renaissance Tech and the Boston area had been quiet and didn't need Thunderbolts intervention. It meant that she had some time to head to New York and spend some time with the family. It felt like forever since she had spent some time with her family.

After a few days it was quite clear that Mom and Dad had their hands full with Nick and needed a break. Anya volunteered to babysit. Though she wasn't going to do it alone. Even she knew she would need backup so she called His Highness Prince Dork. Not only would he have her back, but it would give the three of them some quality sibling bonding time.

A day at the Bronx Zoo would provide just that.

	"Har har," she said. "Let's drop Monkey Boy off before Mom hears about the zoo. With any luck we can be on the other side of the Earth and have new identities before she does." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There was no tragedy," Misha reasoned, trying to put a better spin on things. "Monkey Boy is fine, there was no damage, no villain, and sneaking into the monkey cage is not the most dangerous thing one of us has done as a kid." He paused. "Right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'll try outer space. If she manages to catch up with me, I'll remind her that I'm one of a kind and she can't make another me." He removed some hair strands from Nick's fingers as they walked. "And point out that no monkeys were hurt in the retrieval process. I didn't see any photographers around. C'mon, if we'd been caught, Mom would already be blowing up our phones with calls."

"Think positive. What could Mom do to us? Seriously? We didn't do it on purpose. The kid snuck away like he was already in spy training-"

"KEY!"

"Yeah, to see the monkeys. We found him almost immediately. He's fine. The monkeys are fine. Now that we know he moves that fast and quiet, we'll be on the lookout for the next time. I bet she didn't know he could do this so we're providing new intel. She can't do anything worse to us than what we do to ourselves on a regular basis. Right?"

	"I don't know what she'll do, but I'm not going to risk it. Even if she doesn't /do/ anything I don't want to hear a lecture about being irresponsible." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2011-10-31 03:20 pm UTC (link)
	"You're /not/ irresponsible," Misha told her firmly. "You /were,/ but you were also a dumb kid like the rest of us, and now you're not. And even when you were a dumb kid, you'd have never put your baby brother in danger of any sort. This was dumb luck and smart baby, and if Mom feels the need to lecture about irresponsibility, she can lecture me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You don't know what she lectures me about when she sees me. But hey, if you're that anxious to be in the hot seat, who am I to stop you? Tell her she's a silly brat princess, Nick." "Key!" "Think Mom'll notice if we get that tattooed on his forehead?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2011-10-31 06:20 pm UTC (link)
	"She'd definitely notice that," Anya said. "Oh come on. Out of the two of us you're the poster-boy for responsibility." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Look who my dad is. He's pretty rabid on the subject of being responsible and not bringing attention home." He shrugged, taking Nick for a ride as he did. "But look at how far you've come, Anya. You're doing a lot of important work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2011-11-02 01:12 am UTC (link)
	"I could be the post-girl for good deeds, doesn't mean I'm responsible. Let's get Monkey Boy home. I'd like to go out tonight. I haven't been to Big Nick's in ages." She really need to talk to the owner about opening a location in Boston. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm good, but thanks. I need to shower and change anyways. Can't go out wearing the same outfit I was seen wearing in public earlier in the day." She was joking. Mostly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya laughed and hooked an arm around Misha's. It was a good day to be out with the brothers even with the incident with Monkey Boy. They headed home. (Reply to this)(Parent)
