Nightmares and Dreamscapes - Kal/Buck Angst 11
The scene shifted and Kalypso looked around. The buildings of New York had been destroyed and turned into rubble. The familiar landmarks and buildings were gone. Something had destroyed one of the greatest cities on Earth.

Kal looked around. Where were the Avengers? Why hadn't they stopped this destruction? Where were the Defenders? The X-Men? Any of the other hero teams? Why had they let this happen?

People moved about in the rubble and ruins and Kal desperately sought a familiar face. An elderly gentleman came up to her. He smiled and said her name, but she didn't recognize him. He said her name again and Kal took a closer look at him. "Jack?" No. It couldn't be Jack. Jack wasn't old and this man looked like he was pushing one hundred.

He smiled and nodded. Before he could speak again he started to age more and started turning into dust. "Nooo!" she yelled and reached out a hand. Jack turned completely into dust by the ravages of time and blew away with the wind. Kal's gut twisted into a knot.

There was laughing behind her and she turned to see her uncle standing there. The Mad Titan laughed and destroyed another building.

Kal reached out with her mind to find any Avenger left alive.

	He glances up, giving her an easy smile. "Uhm, not a coffee drinker, so none made. But that's easy to fix, or I could make you a smoothie instead? You're up early." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal gave him a small smile. This was just a bit awkward after having a dream with him in it. Pink touched her cheeks a bit. "I usually don't sleep since I don't need to, but I like to do it once in awhile. Thanks, but I would like the caffeine so I'll make some coffee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He may note the blush, judging by the slight quirk of a brow, but he doesn't bring any more attention to it. "Yeah, that's what your files said. I know its not necessary for eternals - your cousin never did while he was here, and your mom... is infamous for her 'not sleep' and all... but you prefer to try and keep habits?"

	"I thought I was human for a long time. Some habits die hard, but I like sleeping once in awhile to not feel complete separated from humanity." She smiled. "I also love the feeling of laying next to Jack." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks," she said. "That means a lot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Means a lot that you've decided to stay on, even if the super hero lifestyle is stressful sometimes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2012-02-16 05:01 am UTC (link)
	"This isn't stressful. Stressful is dealing with my mother and the rest of my crazy family." Kal started prepping the coffeemaker. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Buck continues to focus on the smoothie, letting her tackle the coffee maker. "From the couple times I've met your mother, I could see that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Isn't that more or less the entire focus of her existence?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just about," Kal said. "Her and my father." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thankfully, they still managed to find some time to help out the Avengers. I can live with that kind of hedonists." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2012-02-18 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	"True," she said. "They do take time out of their selfish desires to help." "How are you liking being here full time?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-02-23 02:47 am UTC (link)
	"Major adjustment, but I'm enjoying it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, I'm fine, Buck. I usually don't stay here at night so it helps." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-03-01 12:34 am UTC (link)
	"I'm sure, but given the resources available, and the hard work and risk everyone puts in, I'd like to make sure all the Avengers are being taken care of." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal kissed his cheek. "That's what makes you a great leader. I better get going. I should check to see what trouble my mother is getting into. I haven't heard from her in a bit and when that happens it usually means something big." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-03-03 04:40 pm UTC (link)
	That gets a smile, and a nod. "Alright, you take care. Say hi to your mother for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2012-03-04 03:24 am UTC (link)
	"Will do. See you later." With that Kal wandered out of the kitchen. (Reply to this)(Parent)
