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 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)

	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)

	notinplainsight 2010-01-20 04:08 am UTC (link)
	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)

	notinplainsight 2010-01-20 05:34 am UTC (link)
	"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)

	jackmurdock 2010-01-20 05:57 am UTC (link)
	Jack kissed her temple. "Don't think about the bad things before you have to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Easier said than done, my love," she said and kissed him. They slowly started to descend. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-01-20 06:53 pm UTC (link)
	"I know, but it's no reason not to try." He stroked her back as they descended. "I'm going to try my hardest to help, but don't let that stop you from talking about it with me. I can't help if you don't share, sweetheart." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-01-20 07:11 pm UTC (link)
	"I know," she said. "It's just...thank you. You're absolutely wonderful and more than understanding. My crazy family...." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-01-20 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	He chuckled. "You love your crazy family, but I know what you mean. Everybody needs a hideout, even if it's another person." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-01-21 04:06 am UTC (link)
	Kal kissed his cheek and hugged him. "Will you be my hideout?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-01-21 08:29 am UTC (link)
	"You know I will." He squeezed her tight. "I kinda like coming home and finding you there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't let my mother hear you say that. Or think it. She'll have all my stuff moved over again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-01-21 08:59 am UTC (link)
	"Which is why I said it out here and nowhere we could be overheard. When and if we decide to move in, it'll be better if it's our decision." He kissed her ear. "And sometimes it's fun to tweak her a very little bit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2010-01-21 09:02 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, but remember not to think it anywhere near her," Kal said. She knew her mother wouldn't invade private thoughts, but there was the occasion where a stray surface thought could be picked up. Kal smiled. "It is. She needs to be tweaked once and awhile." Kal paused their descent and kissed him. Then they teleported into Jack's apartment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He was getting used to teleporting. His superb balance kept him from stepping back when they appeared in his living area. He held her for a long moment before whispering in her ear. "Hot shower, movie, back rub?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
