Even though he had been busy taking care of Sean and helping run the Pub Casey still remembered his friend’s birthdays. He thought it was kind of funny that Jenny and Joe’s birthdays happened to be the same day who would have thought.

For Joe he had gotten a keg of good beer and a hot blind date whenever Joe had the time.

Jenny had gotten a rather nice bottle of French wine. He had called his mom’s friend Alain for help there. He also left a note promising a great night out for her and her boyfriend next time he was in the city.

There was also a card from him with Sean’s name signed by him for both of them.

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.

The room above the Eighth Street Bar was rented under the name "Robert Frank" and when Julian entered that night, he looked nothing like his usually clean-cut self. He'd forced himself into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt (horror of horrors) and mussed up his hair. He looked like a cross between a broke frat boy, a starving artist and a college student who'd been in a few years too long.

Minnie would receive a voice mail early in the day from an individual on Julian's payroll, directing her on where to meet him around eleven p.m. this evening. When she shows up, the door is unlocked and Julian is sitting in a wood chair at a desk across the room.

"You're here." is his greeting. He offers her a smile.
