Date Night.
It was a lot like Mom and Dad's traditions, actually. Where Dad had used telegrams and faxes, she used e-mail. Vernique told Jordan that she'd be in the appropriate area that weekend and would like to have dinner, maybe some dancing.

Vernique nods. "The word gets a lot of flexibility in Central Europe."

"So I've noticed, in my limited time abroad. But then I'm used to Montreal, where lemonade is still lemonade, but don't count on other things not being contradictory."

He shakes his head. "I was barely allowed out of the church as a little kid, other than to attend the Catholic school. Just as well, I was sick all the time."

She listens. "How'd your Mom and Dad even end up finding you, if you don't mind my asking?"

"Total accident. My Uncle became telepathically linked to his sister, and during one of her shifts, he learned about me. He never told her, but from there, he started a search to try and figure out which church she'd left me on the doorstep of."

"Well, he knew it was likely in Quebec. In that persona, my birth mother's English is often not good, she'd go where she was comfortable. He knew it was a Catholic church for much the same reasons. After that, its just that my uncle is a very stubborn man."

"So I've heard." Pause. "It ever get to you?" she asks quietly. "Not talking with your birth mother at all?"

He nods. "I understand that its for the best. I've even met her, and sort of understand better from that. The answer to all the questions an abandoned kid would want to ask really all have the same answer. Mostly I just hope that someday she can get the help she needs."

She nods. It's all entirely out of her experience, of course, her parents having been a constant and coordinated presence all her life and generally having been spoiled like crazy. But she thinks she can understand the situation as well as anyone without any personal context could.

And then there's food.

The subject change is welcome, and he digs right in. The food is pretty much exactly what was promised - cheddar, pepper jack and swiss melted over two patties, with bacon, lettuce, onion and tomato to go with the fries with gravy and cheese curd.

"Been forever since I've been here. Looks as good as ever."

She chuckles. "In Asgard there was definitely plenty of meat and bread. And the Defenders have quite a food budget, too."
