Zoey would have a lot to write about when she did her "What I Did This Summer" report when school started. First there had been two new arrivals to the Defenders with Andy and Eiltin. Three if you counted Titan, who Zoey liked to call Big Green. Next came finding George and taking care of him. That lead to an adventure into space and beating Galactus.

Now it was a trip to Boston. Zoey loved taking trips and flying on airplanes, especially to places she never been before. Boston was a city she hadn't been to before and when Mom asked if she wanted to go, Zoey immediately said yes. Daddy had said he would show her around and she would get to meet her grandparents. Zoey never had grandparents before and thought it would be neat to meet them and get to know them.

The only downside was that she couldn't take George. She left him in her room and George assured her that he would be able to get his own food and take care of himself. Zoey didn't like leaving him, but she had no choice. She packed her own suitcase and backpack. She took clothes and some books to read on the plane. Her iPod and Nintendo DS were also put in her backpack.

Zoey read on the plane and also took a nap. They were in Boston in what seemed a short while. She started out the window as they were landing. The city looked pretty from the air and there was a lot of water. It was the Atlantic Ocean. Zoey had looked at the atlas before she left.

They collected their luggage and Zoey walked with her dad out of the airport. Holding his hand as was the rule when around a large number of people.

"Of course we can. I'll set it up as soon as we get inside and get settled in." Avery says.

"Are you hungry, Zoey? We can have lunch while we're at it if you want."

"Yes, please," Zoey replied. "I would like lunch."

The car pulls up to the door and stops. Chauncey opens the door and Avery lets Zoey get out first. He'll quickly follow her, then aid Chauncey in getting their luggage out of the car.

A pair of young men in their twenties arrive immediately to start taking the bags inside the house. Avery takes Zoey's hand as Adrian gets out of the car.

"Zoey, go ahead and follow Milda to your room. I'll be right up after you." he says, then turns to face Adrian.

"Don't ever try to undermine me in front of my daughter ever again, Adrian. I'll be civil for the sake of family, but don't think I've forgotten about your hand in the destruction of my marriage." Avery says.

Zoey did as she was told and didn't hear anything else. She had a really big house to explore!

Adrian just listens to his cousin's tirade, boredom etching his face as he listens to all of Avery's piss and fire.

"You know, Avery, for a guy who's never had to work for anything in his life, you sure whine a lot. I hope Zoey didn't inherit that." he whispers.

"I did you a favor by exposing Cecelia. I haven't heard a thank-you yet, which is really starting to piss me off. You're the most ungrateful prick I've ever met, little cousin." Adrian says lowly.

"Arthur is going to flay you alive for bringing this rugrat home. You even sure she's yours? You get a paternity test?" Adrian asks as Avery looks away. "Kid doesn't look anything like you and you're on /my/ ass for asking the questions you should have asked when you met her. You should be kissing my ass, Avery. I already saved you from one fuck-up and it looks like I'll be working overtime to save you from this next one." Adrian says, turning to walk away.

"Make sure to say hi to Aunt Angela, and at least pretend like you give a damn about your family's good name. Audra already got kicked out of the family for embarrassing Arthur. I'd rather not see it happen a second time. Tell Zoey I'll see her later."

Adrian leaves Avery standing there, but only for a moment, before Avery heads inside the house.
