This Counts As Normal, Right?
Jack chewed his lip, fidgeting as he stared at the front gate again. Finally, he hit the button. "Hi... I'm looking for, uh.. Swashbuckler? I was wondering if he wanted to go out for ice cream."

	"Just like that, huh?" Jack seems a little mystified by this. "Cool." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not... that easy," Steve said. "It'll probably take time. But it'll be a start." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That'd work..." He has to focus to get his words out, as thoughts string together that other parts of his brain want nothing to do with. "I want to still be a crimefighter... but... I want to be able to NOT be too... does that make sense?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah, Steve was concerned as hell over this. But it was important not to panic. "Yeah," he agreed. "You want a life outside the whole costume thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack smiles as he spots the ice cream place up ahead. "I don't really know what I'd do with one, but I'd like it to be an option." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We'll get you one, dude," Steve said. "I promise." As they got the shop, he opened the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hm. Jack was expecting more smells. There's something freshly baked though. Waffles maybe? He goes up and begins peering into the case. Fascinating stuff. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve smiled at the sight of Jack obviously enjoying himself. "Get whatever you want, m'man." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack orders himself a single scoop of some kind of chocolate, a scoop of some green ice cream with chocolate in it, and a waffle cone of soft vanilla. Before finalizing the order, he looks back to Steve just to make sure. "Is that okay? I wanted to get a few small things instead of one big thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-07-22 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Get what you like," Steve insisted. "Really." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2010-07-22 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	Jack grins and confirms his order. "How about you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve himself gets a hot fudge sundae made with chocolate ice cream. After he pays for their order, he leads Jack over to a booth. "So, do you at least have some place where you stay, Jack? You're not just... swinging around everywhere?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jack examines the contents of his order carefully, before tentatively starting on the cone first.

"I've got someone I stay with. They're... kind of a crimefighter too. I think it's more of a 'when they can' type thing for them though."

The cone being small, he gets down to the cone quickly, taking a bite and clearly approving. "Hm. Waffle... with ice cream. Excellent."

	Steve nodded slightly. "Glad to hear it. Way you talked, I wasn't sure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	no_relation 2010-07-23 12:11 am UTC (link)
	He nods. "Until my powers turned on, I was living at a shelter. Couldn't stay there after... the incident though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-07-23 12:38 am UTC (link)
	"Well, if you ever really need a place to bunk, give us a call," Steve offered. "No questions asked." He was probably overstepping his bounds, but hey, that was what he did. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll keep it in mind." Little things like where he lives are pushed to the side as Jack is focusing in on figuring out which flavor of ice cream he likes best. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve turned his own focus back to his ice cream. Chocolate ice cream, hot fudge, and whipped cream were a good combination in his book. (Reply to this)(Parent)
