What birthday?
The morning of Jack's 21st birthday found him deeply asleep with his head under the pillow. He'd completely forgotten his birthday was coming. So much was happening that it was just another day on the calendar.

Elektra would not let her son's birthday pass unnoticed or not celebrated. Twenty first birthdays only came once. She talked to her husband and the two of them decided that a trip to New York was required.

She had mixed feelings about meeting Matt's dimensionally displaced daughter, but she'd do her best to make the girl feel welcomed. Family was family even if it was family from another dimension.

Elektra gave her husband a small smile and then knocked on the door to her son's apartment.

	He was going to ignore the knocking because it couldn't be anybody he wanted to see. It was way too early for anybody to be knocking. But he managed to get up and shuffle to the door in his boxers. The locks were fumbled opened, and then the door. Then... "What are you two doing here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't tell me you forgot your own birthday?" Elektra asked as she kissed her son's cheek. "Happy birthday, honey." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Kind of hard to forget, I just didn't expect to see you here." He hugged Mom and kissed her cheek in return. People said his mother was cold and aloof; he supposed that she had to be in her former life. His mother was reserved, even stern and intense when she was training her students, but always loving. Her number one student did his best to make her proud. "If you'd told me, I would've been awake and had the coffee going."

	"It would have ruined the surprise," Elektra said. "We wanted to surprise you and spend the day with you. Dad and I are going to be in town for the next few days. Spend some time with you and with," the slightest pause, "Eliza." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Speaking of the other worldly girl someone is coming up the stair well with a bag filled with fresh foods. Ready to be cooked. She peered around and gave them a small friendly wave.

"Hey Jack." It took her a moment to realize who else was here. She's been pretty much trailing between tired and awake since the car bombing. "Um...Hi Dad. Hi Mrs Murdock. I brought food to make for breakfast? I thought you'd like that."

	Yeah, caught in his boxers in the hall with his family. The only things left to make this a Hallmark moment would be his girlfriend in his bed, and Eliza bringing the other side of her family. "C'mon in, everybody. If the neighbors catch us, we'll have to charge for the show." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	New York sometimes worked very hard to make sure missing the place was problematic. "Good plan, Jack. And we can give you chance to put some clothes on. Hello, Eliza." He manages a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It might be wise," Elektra said. She looked at the girl. It was so hard not to see that woman in the kid's looks, but there were traces of Matt. "Hello Eliza." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's nice to meet you," Eiza put on a friendly smile. "I could put on the coffee?" She needs more caffeine in her hemoglobin. She's also ready to try and take over the kitchen. Matt had better warn Elektra that Eliza is banned from the kitchen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack closed the door behind them all and rubbed his face. "Kitchen is where I left, Eliza. Help yourself. I'm just going to shower and get dressed and all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What...sort of food did you bring, Eliza?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-07-12 07:04 am UTC (link)
	"Likewise," Elektra said. "I can help you in the kitchen if you like." She was making an effort. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Eggs, different cheeses, some bacon, breakfast sausage, spinach, mushrooms...Pretty much fixings for omelets. I wasn't sure what Jack liked so I got a little bit of everything. And I also didn't want to risk a heart attack omelet," she admits. She's a big fan of putting everything into an omelet. It tastes really good. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That will sound amazing after a shower and coffee. Uh... don't anybody let her actually cook something. Remember, stuff explodes?" She'd said so at their lunch. It was apparently a female Romanov trait. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll help her," Elektra assured him and her husband. "I can actually cook." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ladydevil 2009-07-12 07:33 am UTC (link)
	Eliza laughed a little. "I'm deadly with eggs. But I can get everything chopped and prepped real well. It's about the only thing I can be trusted not to mess up. Eggs should never light on fire." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You certainly can," Matt answers Elektra with a smile. "And that sounds great, if you two don't mind. How'd the school consideration going, Eliza?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-07-12 07:45 am UTC (link)
	Jack kissed his mother's cheek (she was doing well so far!), and took himself off to the bedroom. A minute later, the sound of the shower running could be heard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm going to go dig the things we need out of the cabinets. You two can catch up." Elektra went into the kitchen to busy herself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Eliza blinked then tried to find the right words. "Right now poorly. What with the,...thing. It put looking at schools on hold until Mom woke up. Now I'm thinking home school might be the best.There have been outside problems and I'd love the freedom to be able to stand by my whole family when they need me there. Public or private schools might not be so accommodating."

	Matt nods. "It's a ...very valid point. What...what's the latest word?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Anya programed some nanites to help Tony. Mom is up. But I don't think Tony will be for a while. I don't trust that an unknown family member just...popped up. Too damn convent," Eliza is trying to sound out what she feels about the situation. It's dangerous. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I hope they both keep getting better as quickly as possible under the circumstances." Matt is thoughtful for a moment. "It does sound awfully....well-timed. I hope you're being careful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
