Jack was lazing away the morning at home, alone because Kal had a cousin in town she was shepherding around until he learned his way. The morning was a little lonely. He'd gotten used to having Kal around when they both were free. His design project was turned in and all he needed was his grade to know if he was wasting his time and should give law school a shot.

He didn't get any visitors, so the doorbell ringing was something of a shock. He closed the sketchpad, put his coffee cup on the kitchen counter and went to answer the door.

Well, that had been interesting. Cassandra Lang was a godsend for translating 'Do not appear to be forcing his hand in this you fools!' into something to which people of influence would listen.

The problem of tensions around Latveria hadn't been solved, mind you, but they'd done what they could on the front they'd tried, and Kristoff was optimistic about parts of it.

Then Cassie had something to attend to briefly. After a quick check-in with Andrea over the communication system, Kristoff was humming Leslie Fish's 'Hope Eyrie,' an established habit to cheer or calm himself, as he went looking to see if Vincent was up yet.

Natasha went with neutral ground for this meeting. Matt in her home was probably not a good idea no matter how she looked at it. Neutral ground meant some place out and some place that would offer some amount of privacy. That left her clearing out Big Nick's for lunch. Thankfully the place was more than willing to cater to Mrs. Stark.

Natasha arrived with Eliza and Misha, sending a text to Tony letting him know where they'll be if he wanted to meet them. They grabbed a table with four extra chairs. One for Tony if he showed and three for Matt, Jack and Elektra. Natasha silently prayed that the Greek Ninja would not be coming. It would just add more tension to a situation that was already guaranteed to be very tense.

She sat quietly at the table and sipped her diet soda. She was steering clear of vodka until after this, but she could really use a few shots before seeing Matt.
