The tide is coming in, and the shadow of the cliff has been slowly retreating from Syd's sleeping form. Simon hasn't wanted to rest. He could use years more of that and a thousand year of this...waves, rocks, a sun rising and her cradled lightly in his arms and pulling in close for warmth. He knew giving in wasn't going to cure him. Being with Syd was only going to make everything he was feeling for her more intense and complicated.

Simon was good at reading his partners, and there were answers he was finally able to extract from Sydney. Some women that had terrific minds turned into sex kittens when they had a chance to relax. Syd wasn't, and that had surprised him. She was still all brains, even in bed. She used that mind to create an intense and extremely focused sensuality and targeted physical awareness. Of course he wasn't her type. Whether she knew it or not, she needed someone with just as much mental stamina as physical endurance. Her memory was almost a guarantee she'd be able to read a man's body like one of her books; lingering over the good parts while skimming through any set up, and God help you if you were boring. It was probably the reason she wasn't all that experienced (at least not recently), but frankly, most men were not going to be able to handle her.

He kept pushing the "what now?" question out of his mind. By this point, most women wanted him to shower and then lock the door behind him as he left. He was a few hours into this reverie when his watch made up his mind for him, specifically, the alert that Swarm is in the Galleria...again When do Nazi bees ever die?

He takes enough time to float slowly up the side of the cliff to Syd's room to settle her into bed. He smoothed her hair back and kissed her forehead goodbye before taking off to be a big damn hero.

Syd stirred a bit when he put her in her bed and kissed her goodbye, but she wouldn't fully wake up until a couple of hours later when her bed was invaded by two dogs, a tiger and a six-year-old. Definitely not her choice of methods to be woke up by. Her bed being used as a stand in for a trampoline was definitely low on the list.

She booted animals and kids out of the bed so she could get up and stumble to the shower. Instead of getting up like she had planned, she laid there and stared up at the ceiling. Her head pounded from the mead and she made a mental note to never drink that much again, if ever. She was just a mere mortal after all.

She was not surprised in the least to wake up in her bed alone. The night had been nice wonderful and the sex had been mind-blowing and earth-shattering, or it just had been /that/ long she last had it, but Syd hadn't expected anything to last past dawn.

She stretched and felt the coarse sand between her and the sheet. She smiled lazily. If she only got one time with Simon, damn it had been worth it.

Right. Shower. Strong coffee. Maybe some food and then back to reality. She sighed. It had been a great fantasy while it lasted.

She climbed out of bed, pulled on a robe and headed for the kitchen. Coffee first and then the rest.

Carol touched down outside of Defenders Compound. She was here for one purpose-to get Grace and bring her back home, even if she had to drag her there. She wasn't happy with her daughter at all for the little stunt she pulled, taking off like that. Also, if Grace stayed there any longer, Simon might start to piece things together. Which Carol couldn't have happening. Composing herself, Carol knocked on the door. While Grace could be stubborn, hopefully she'd come with her quietly and not cause a scene.

	Oh now what? Syd hadn't even made it to the bloody kitchen yet. If that was Avery at the door it was not going to be pretty. She was exhausted, hungover and her man problems just got a hell of a lot more complicated. Scowling, she opened the door. "Can I help you?" she asked the gorgeous blond. Great. One of Simon's flings coming here and looking for him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Carol resisted to roll her eyes at the woman. Probably some fling of Simon's, no doubt, having her way about the place until he sent her home, never to be seen from again. "I'm looking for Grace Danvers," she said, her tone surprisingly calm how annoyed she was. "Is she here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Syd blinked a few times. The words eventually made their way into her hurting head. Grace. Right. Oh...gods. Her eyes went wide. "Ms. Danvers?" she asked. Oh this is /just/ what she needed this morning. She was tired, hungover and there was still sand in places she didn't want to think about. "Please, come in. Grace is probably still in bed."

	"Thank you," Carol replied cooly, stepping into the doorway. "Are you a member of the Defenders as well?" Though she seriously doubted that. But she might as well at least have some idea of who her daughter has been staying with this time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sorry. I apologize for my lack of manners. I'm Sydney Ashcroft. Team mom and the one who handles the daily chaos. It was a long night and too much Asgardian mead. Would you like a cup of coffee while I go get Grace?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sydney knocked on Grace's door. Right now she wanted nothing more than to crawl back into bed and pull the covers over her head. After she got the sand still clinging to her off. "Grace?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Grace had been sleeping, the knock at the door waking her up. She rolled over onto her side to look at the door. "C'mon in, Syd," she said a little groggily. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Syd opened the door and stuck her head in. "I'm sorry to wake you up, but your mother is here and would like to see you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Grace groaned, burying her head in her pillow. Terrific. "Tell her I've been abducted by Skrulls. No. Tell her I went willingly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-02-23 01:52 am UTC (link)
	Syd stepped into the room and shut the door behind her. "You know I can't do that. You knew she would eventually come here looking for you. It's time to face the consequences of your actions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-02-23 01:59 am UTC (link)
	Grace sighed, sitting up in bed, rubbing at her eyes. "I guess you're right." She sighed. "Is she really mad at me?" Though she didn't know why she bothered asking. Her Mom was downright pissed at her, and she knew it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Carol just took a sip of her coffee, surprisingly as cool as a cucumber. "Hello Simon," she said, "It's been a long time." She finished off her coffee with another sip. "You look well." Grace better her get ass downstairs fast. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Carol." His voice is dark. The only word he says with equal weight is "Enchantress." He takes his shades off and puts them on the refrigerator, leaving a pair of garnet-red eyes. Eric doesn't get the death glare she's getting right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-02-23 02:59 am UTC (link)
	"Something wrong, Simon? You seem a little on-edge." Could it be possible that either him or Grace put things together? Carol shook that thought from her mind. No. Simon didn't think that he could have children, and she'd always been careful to never leave Grace any clues that might lead her to put things together. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You could say that." His voice remains cold. Wonder Man is generally more reasonable when yelling. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-02-23 03:08 am UTC (link)
	"Something on your mind?" She placed her coffee mug on the counter, leaning forward, propping her elbows on her knees, placing her chin in her hands. "I hope Grace hasn't been too much of a bother." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	After Act 2, he takes out the audio CD to put in a new one, and that's when he notices Syd staring at him. He looks scared. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I didn't mean to interrupt. I'm sorry," she apologized. "I'll leave you alone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't want you to!" he blurts out. He can feel himself losing it just looking at her. This is nuts. Worse then he thought. "I mean...It's a script." He sighs. "I have dyslexia. This is how I read scripts...How I read almost everything, actually." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-02-24 08:13 am UTC (link)
	"Okay, I'll stay," she assured him. "You just looked like you needed some time alone. After what happened this morning, no one could blame you." She slowly walked toward him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
