Happy Birthday, Jordan!
It wasn't easy keeping secrets from your big brother when he's the team leader and practically in charge of your whole HQ, but Mason had done his best. He'd hired a DJ that was practically elated to get to work with the Temple's pre-existing sound systems, gotten stadium-style catering of hot dogs, burgers, and other heavy foods, and even sent out invites to a handful of other super-teams that Alpha Flight had fought alongside, just to beef up the bodycount for the festivities a bit.

As for his gift for Jordie, he'd spent weeks getting in touch with former Alpha Flight members with his parents' help. They'd ultimately put together a scrapbook about Jordan's biological parents for him. Mason had also put season tickets to Jordan's favorite teams in the same packaging.

Getting Jordan out of the base, thankfully, was pretty easy. Extreme sports and girls, especially in combination, were his well known kryptonite. That bought some time.

The scrapbook is harder, especially as his mother doesn't know he exists, or is hers, or that she was ever pregnant - and is supposed to stay that way per her brother, but it was workable... especially with said brother's help.

After the time out camping, mountain climbing and hang gliding, he isn't even sure of the date as he makes his way back into the base.

Alex couldn't not get Jordan something for his birthday. Jordan had gone above and beyond the call of duty to make Alex, and everyone else for that matter, feel welcome when he first joined the team.

Alex was the worst when it came to giving gifts and Jordan was kind of hard to buy for. It took quite a bit of time and thought, but Alex eventually came up with something.

Jordan was hard on his equipment, so Alex did some researching and got him the best pair of skiis and the best snowboard on the market. He wrapped them and set them in the temple.

Mel's baking smelled heavenly and he couldn't wait to try some of the cookies.

So wrapped up was she until recently in her own issues, Marrina had scarcely noticed that Jordon's birthday was fast approaching.

Fortunately, having a father who was rich and owned a multinational corporation, provided plenty of oportunity to use that. Oracle, Inc., among other things, partially sponsored a charity swimsuit competition down in the Bahamas. Getting Jordan a ticket to it wasn't hard.

	Mason jumps out at his brother as he's in the door. "Why weren't you answering your phone?! Hurry, this way!" He grabs him by the arm and starts pulling him through the base, to the Temple. He opens the door and shoves him inside. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jordan lets himself be hurried along, blinking at the set up. "Wow... you guys didn't need to do this." (Reply to this)(Parent)
