It wasn't exactly a warm day outside, but it was very sunny and that's why Kal was out on a chaise on the roof. Solar energy was a great way to recharge and Kal did enjoy the quiet the roof on a chilly day. The cold didn't bother her, just the opposite. It made her feel better and think more clearly.

Her eyes were closed as she soaked up the rays.

High places had never bothered Jack so hanging out on rooftops was a given. It was also the best place to see what was going on around the city. From the roof he could take a deep breath and taste what was happening. New York was a melee of smells and sounds that he'd learned to identify over the last couple of years. Not to make it a Murdock thing, but he was sure he could operate blindfolded in the city just fine.

His favorite spot already had an occupant. He approached her on silent feet and leaned down to plant a soft kiss on her forehead.

	Kal smiled when the kiss came, but she did not open her eyes. "You better hope my boyfriend didn't see that. He'll kick your ass." She knew it was Jack, but it was fun to play the game. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Damn right he will," he said in a mock growl. He took the seat next to hers and leaned back. Despite the chill in the air, there was sun and it felt good on his face. "Such a deep expression you have. What's on your mind?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Now she opened her eyes and looked over at him. Her smile grew larger. "Nothing. Just enjoying the sun and the cold air. What's on your mind, Mr. Murdock?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wondering how quiet it's going to be when the team splits in two." He reached over to take her hand. "If I read my Avenger history right, it'll last a little while and then they'll all be back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal took his hand and gave it a squeeze. "Mother said the team is usually very fluid and can change from week to week. Maybe you're right, maybe they will be back, but it will be quieter for awhile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2013-03-17 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	"Maybe we should scout the rooms when they're empty and see if we can get a bigger one," he joked. "But don't tell your mom. She'll add a level and forget to clear it with Mr. Stark." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal chuckled. Her mother would do such a thing. Kal really didn't put anything past Sersi. "Are you totally joking, or do you want to consider moving in here with the crazies?" The two of them shared an apartment a few blocks away. They could still be Avengers, but have some privacy and quiet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2013-03-19 05:18 am UTC (link)
	"Not the crazies!" He feigned horror at the thought. "I think about it when it's my turn at monitor duty and those five am practices, but there's no way I'd give up our place for this full time." He squeezed her hand. "I like having you to myself away from here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2013-03-19 02:09 pm UTC (link)
	"I can understand that," she said. "We can look at rooms here and keep our apartment. It's not like they charge rent here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2013-03-19 02:51 pm UTC (link)
	"We spend enough time here to make it reasonable. I think we'll be having more rotations at monitor duty with the split." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2013-03-19 03:50 pm UTC (link)
	"I agree," she said. "Yes, we probably will have more monitoring shifts, unless we get new people." Kal didn't mind it. She didn't have to sleep. She'll probably end up taking a few extra shifts of monitoring duty just so her teammates can get a little extra sleep. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"And closer to that cookie jar." Jack didn't know what Jarvis put in the cookie recipe but the results were cookies that didn't assault his hyper senses on any level. The taste was just enough, and while he could still smell them baking two blocks away, he didn't get overwhelmed by the scents of heated sugar and chocolate, two things that quickly turned unpleasantly bitter to him.

"Besides, somebody has to make sure you at least pretend to rest," he teased gently.

	"Jarvis does make excellent cookies. Though you may have to fight some people for them." Kal smiled. "You know me too well." Most nights Kal didn't sleep, but lay there and listened to the steady rhythm of Jack's breathing as he slept. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll be sneaky ninja-like. Or ask politely ask Jarvis to make bigger batches." Very politely, because the man could be lethal with a broom. "We didn't get a chance to talk about staying or going before Buck sprang it on the team at the meeting. Are you all right with staying in New York?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm fine being wherever you are," Kal said. She had eternity to live elsewhere and only a finite time with Jack. "I'm honestly surprised you didn't want to go back west." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd have to give up the internship and I need the experience," he explained. "I'm not at the point yet where I can work from anywhere, but I hope to be in a few years." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then we can live on the moon if you want," Kal said half-joking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2013-03-20 02:36 pm UTC (link)
	He smiled. The moon had some distinct possibilities for a lot of things. Maybe he could design something unique for the surroundings. "Not my first choice of relocation, but I'd give it a try if you wanted it. Just need satellite connection to work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He rose to his feet and gave her hand a tug. "Something with an exit window. It's good practice to climb out and up to the roof." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2013-03-21 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	Kal nodded as she rose to her feet. "Of course. Easier for me to go sunbathe and recharge." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2013-03-28 03:44 pm UTC (link)
	"That's what I need to do. Design you a space strictly for sunbathing." He put an arm around her as they made their way to the roof access. "Warm, soothing, something to reflect your personality." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
