Tearing down walls
 It wasn't often he got to cause a bit of destruction outside of missions and the danger room, but he'd asked Uncle Scott if he could tear down the damaged smaller boathouse. Some kid's powers had done enough of a number on the place that it'd be more feasible to tear it down and rebuild a new one than try and fix this. To be honest, it hadn't been the best month for him. Last year of the degree, but this first month had been a bit of a mess, not to mention it'd taken up so much of his time that he barely had any free time. A pile of assignments, his laptop dying right before an important deadline, a few terrible professors, not winning that entry position in a great company that the program offered every year (especially when he knew he could have), and just in general a ton of stress. Individually he could've handled all those things, but it was when it all piled up and in a relatively short time frame.

 
So Vlad wasn't his usual cheery self as he stood there, hands in pockets and one foot on a very damaged boathouse wall. Just thinking about it all had the frustration build up, and a moment later his foot had left a sizable hole in the wall. Soon more and more of the place was coming down as he tore through it to vent his frustrations a bit.

"Of course!" Cait grinned. "It just means more alone time together."

"I like the sound of that," he smiled and then kissed her.

Cait returned the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck.

He was going to let that kiss last for a while, and when he finally came up for air he gave her a soft smile. "And thanks. For being a big help and cheering me up."

"It's in the job description." She unwound her arms from around his neck and took his hands. "Let's go watch those movies."

"I like that idea," Vlad smiled. He looked over his shoulder at the nearly destroyed boat house. "Want to help me finish this off later? We can pelt it with ice."

Cait smiled at him with a twinkle in her eyes. "Watch this."

There was a moment of stillness then the waters of Breakstone lake churned and rose up. It hung high in the air for a moment and then crashed down on the boathouse. The water had been almost solidified and the house crumbled under the semi-solid water.

"Oh, well wipe out my therapeutic fun and make me look bad in one fell swoop why don't you," he joked with a grin. "And now I think I owe a very cute showoff some private movie showings."

"Such is the price to pay. Well at least now I know you don't just like me for my completely ordinary ability to get movies," he laughed and followed along after her.

"I love you for many reasons," she said as they walked.

"I think making out and/or watching movies will be a much more constructive use of our time than making you list those reasons," he said with a straight face.

"Listing those reasons could take all night," she said with a smile. "I like the idea of making out much better."

"And we certainly don't want to waste all night on some list," he smiled as they approached the mansion. "Five minutes. Meet you back with the movies in tow?"

"Five minutes," she said. She gave him a quick kiss and went off to make popcorn.

A little less than five minutes later he was leaning on the wall next to the door to her room. He'd changed his shirt (dust and stuff from beating up a boat house called for it), and rifled through the mansion's movie collection and picked 4, just so they had enough and things to pick from.

Cait met him outside her room a moment later. She gave him a quick kiss and then opened the door. She waited for him to go in before her.

He smiled and returned the kiss, then gave her a playful 'hat tip' (though with DVDs) before entering her room.

Cait followed him in and shut the door. She even locked it to prevent someone from interrupting.

"Okay. I got popcorn and there's some water in the mini-fidge. You got the movies. I think we're set."

He sat on the edge of the bed and leaned back on his hands while following along and nodding at the mini-fridge mention. "Sounds about right. So...pick a movie! Didn't use much time so went with rather predictable choices, but that's not always bad."

"What are my choices?" she asked.

"Well..." He sat up and went through the DVDs he'd managed to snag. "Okay, tried to get some variety but still things you mentioned or might like. So, Breakfast at Tiffany's, which I think I interrupted a viewing of by pelting you with pillows. Luckily for you there aren't enough here for me to do that this time," he grinned. "The Incredibles, also mentioned that one and why not go for a cute superhero movie, we'll revel in our lack of capes. Uhm, found Clue, mystery and comedy, I like it at least, and uh...I was trying to get back before five minutes was up and this one was on top of the pile..." He cringed and gave an apologetic shrug. "...Flipper."

He counted them off on his fingers. "So, mystery, romance, both with comedy, cute animation, or...um dolphin cheesiness."

"You think of everything," she said. "How about The Incredibles?"

"Good idea," he smiled. "And I promise not to distract you from the movie with pillow attacks," he added with utmost seriousness before a smile broke through.

"Though if you want to distract me with other means, I'm open to being distracted."
