Two days in New York City
Jenny was happy to conveniently forgot her scheduled appointment with Dr. Samson, but leave it to Rob to have it on his calendar. The day before, she was notified that she would be collected at 6am and delivered to the S.H.I.E.L.D. transport for the New York run.

She tossed a few items into her shoulder bag along with a new book. She didn't need anymore than that as Rob had kept their leased apartment in New York. Between his monthly trips back to New York and her infrequent traveling, he said it was worth hanging onto it. Everything she might need was already there.

A note was posted on the refrigerator so the team would know she would be in the States for a couple of days. She also included a post script asking Leech to make sure Yankee Clipper was fed. She really hoped Quinn would continue to be tolerant and not turn YC into a fluffy orange and white throw pillow.

In New York, she had time to shower and change clothes before presenting herself at Dr. Samson's office promptly at 3pm. Each time she had one of these appointments she hoped it would be the last. Each time he said he would see her again in three months. At least this time she would have something different to contribute to the conversation.

	"You know Leech?" Big smile. Leech had to be her favorite person in Excalibur. He was just so...calming. "A few of my new friends appear to know one another from where Leech is from. I haven't asked a lot of questions about the school because...well, if Rob never brought it up when I regained my memories, there had to be a reason why." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yes, we met a few times when he and little Artie Maddicks were at St. Simon's."

"The other school, the one your friends apparently attended, is considered a bit insular, attached to their secrets. The people in charge are sometimes considered ...authoritarian, but unpredictable when dealing with legal authorities," Leonard says, all truthfully. "I can think of a lot of reasons why Rob, if aware of the place, would not have thought it would be for you." Several reasons, even before he got to the real one.

"Artie's in London too. He seems very sweet. I thought about what Leech said and why Rob never mentioned it. I didn't wake up after the accident with this power. I had to have it long before then. If I was getting help somewhere before, Rob would have sent me back. Right?" She looked to him for confirmation. Rob cared. They were the only family they had in the world.

"Yeah, he's sweet." And a remote but conceivable risk for her mental preservation. Nothing gets to be simple, does it?

"That would figure. I must admit I've never heard when your abilities manifested. Some mutants have been known to be late bloomers, something triggering in their early twenties. So I really have no idea when your abilities first came out, but I'm fairly confident you didn't go to the school upstate. There'd be some note of it somewhere."

	She nodded slowly. "It's about time he settled down, now that I've flown the nest. I'm going to start introducing him to nice girls. If that doesn't work, I'll try not-so nice girls." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Leonard smiles. "That does sound like a plan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"To recap: I'm sleeping okay. I haven't discovered any new powers. I haven't learned any control. I'm rooming with Excalibur. I have a date tonight. My brother needs a girl." She grinned cheekily. "Have we covered everything?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I met him online in a dressing room style chat. We got to talking and exchanged email addresses. When Rob reminded me I had to be here, I emailed him to see if he might want to get together later for coffee or something. We're having dinner. His name is Andy Walters. If you read about him in tomorrow's paper, you'll know he was creepy and stalkerish and I took care of it."

	Leonard smiled. And if he heard about it from Jen, or in a Very Special Session, then it was a particular Andy Walters. "Glad to here you're on top of things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've been holed up in the bookstore or in class for the last couple of years. It's time to get out and make some changes and find friends that aren't all mutants. I can take few chances on iffy things like meeting a strange guy for dinner without a full security squad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's reasonable to want that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tabula_rasa 2010-07-09 02:20 am UTC (link)
	"I am striving to be reasonable in all things," Jenny said solemnly. "Even when Quinn Braddock is so cheerfully lecherous before the coffee is done in the mornings." (Reply to this)(Parent)
