Crash
Kalypso was tired enough that she had to sleep. Normally she could just choose not to waste time sleeping, but today she needed to sleep. She had spent the better part of the past two weeks traveling and for her traveling meant between Olympia and Titan. The Eternals of both Earth and Titan needed to be warned of the threat the deviants posed and her cousin’s dream of Thanos.

Interplanetary travel was quite taxing and her stores of cosmic energy were depleted.

She landed on Jack’s fire escape and barely managed to use telekinesis to open the latch and open the window. Jack would be in class right now and wouldn’t be home for a few hours. Kal would use that time to sleep and recharge.

She crawled inside and fell facedown on the bed.

	"I'd love some," she smiled. "It's been two weeks since I ate." "Iason and I have told the adult Avengers what's happening, but they are to stay out of it unless we fail." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	In short order there were two plates on the table and a pizza box centerpiece with steam wafting up to the ceiling. Pizza was inexplicably the one dish that didn't assault any of his enhanced senses. "And the others?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you," she said with a smile. "We left that up to them to propagate through the cape community." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am going to worry about you," he told her frankly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She gave him a small smile. "I know. Just don't worry too much. We Eternals are very hard to kill after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Eat, then we'll put in a movie and relax. Something tells me that you'll need as many quiet evenings as possible." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"As long as you think it, I'm not going to argue." He reached across the table and covered her hand with his. "I'm all about you tonight. Whatever you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You," she smiled and squeezed his hand. "All I want is you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You got me, sweetheart." He smiled back. "Come on and eat. I'll massage your back while we watch a movie." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You know how to make a girl an offer she can't refuse." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd believe that more if you'd stop talk and start eating," he said with a chuckle. "Keep up the sweet talk and I'll believe it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal picked up a slice and then put it back down. "Let's go for a quick flight," she said. She wanted to feel some cold air on her face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-01-20 03:12 am UTC (link)
	He blinked in surprise. Not the craziest idea he'd ever heard, but unexpected at this moment. "Sure. I'll get a coat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal smiled and then inhaled a slice of the pizza. She put the rest in the fridge and would eat it later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He got his gloves and scarf, and a hat along with his coat. He was bundling up when he came back. "All set." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal gave him a smile when he returned. She stood up and went over to the window to the fire escape. She held out a hand. "Come, my love." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-01-20 04:05 am UTC (link)
	Jack took her hand and peered out of the window. It was an indicator of the trust he had in her that he didn't worry about the flight. Getting warm again when they got back would be fun. He was picturing a hot shower with plenty of soap and slippery skin. "Anything in particular you want to see tonight?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She shook her head. "No. I just need cold air." It was a racial trait. Eternals like cold places as evident by the location of their cities at the poles. She ducked out the window and waited for Jack. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-01-20 04:17 am UTC (link)
	He stepped over the sill and ducked to keep from banging his head. He closed the window behind him and turned with a smile. "Take me away." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal wrapped her arms around him and kissed him, lifting them off the fire escape as she did. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-01-20 05:04 am UTC (link)
	The initial moment of his stomach dropping as they rose was calmed by the kiss. He wrapped his arms around her waist and paid no attention to the fire escape falling away in the dark, or the lights of the city as they went higher. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-01-20 05:07 am UTC (link)
	Kal put a tk bubble around them as the higher they went. Jack needed oxygen and not so cold temperatures. She kept going up until they were in the upper atmosphere. She broke the kiss and smiled. "Look down." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-01-20 05:27 am UTC (link)
	He smiled back and did as she asked. His grip on her tightened a little. Not that he was afraid she'd drop him, just .... wow, they were really high. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It looks so calm and peaceful from up here," she said with a note of sadness in her voice. "One could almost forget all the bad things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
