Being Lazy (open to any)
Kalypso was feeling particularly lazy and decided to camp out on the couch in the req room and watch some movies. Things had been rather quiet around the Avengers mansion and Kal was going to take full advantage of it.

She gathered snacks and stretched out on the couch. The first movie of the day was Megamind.

	"Hey Ryan," Kal said when she saw a head peek around the corner. "You're welcome to join me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure why not I'm in no hurry to do my workout," Ryan says walking into the room and taking a sit on one of the sofas. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal smiled and sat up to give him space on the couch. "Are you all settled back in after your trip?" she asked. A small part of her wished she could have gone hopping through time with the Avengers that had gone. She was a bit envious of them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pretty much still catching up on a few things but that's about it now," Ryan said, "Going back to classes again helped. Thanks for asking I think the others are more or less settled too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's good to hear. I must admit to being a little envious that you and the others went. It must have been some adventure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It definitely was quite the adventure though I am glad to be back home," Ryan says, "Each place kept getting more and more brain hurty. Who know what we might have been dealing with if we were still out there. To be honest I felt a little insulted as to why the funny looking guy said I could go compared to the others."

"Everything and everyone has a purpose and I'm sure you filled an important role. We all can't be the strongest or the quickest, but we all have a role to play."

Kal's family was a good example of this. They all shared common abilities, but each Eternal had a specific area where they outclassed other Eternals. Kal's mother was the best at transmutation and Kal surpassed almost all the Eternals at illusions.

"From what I hear they were all glad to have you along with them."

	"Maybe it did seem like just about anyone could have taken my place," Ryan says, "But it was nice hanging out with them. Charlie is a lot of fun to drink with, just never give him tequila." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I doubt that," Kal said. "I haven't seen anyone move as quietly as you do and I have heard the stories and I know it helped a great deal. You shouldn't think so less of yourself, Ryan. You're a nice guy and you're an important part of this team." Kal smiled. "Our fearless leader get into some trouble with tequila? This I have to hear." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Thanks," Ryan said hoping he hadn't sounded like Steve earlier. That guy could have bad self-esteem problems sometimes. He still wasn't entirely convinced that he was a piece in that puzzle can could have been anyone but it would do for now.

"Yeah he definitely should not be allowed to drink tequila unless we want funny stories about him later," He says, "First time we were drinking it we both woke up with foggy memories and matching tattoos that I am so not telling Steve about. The next time he was drinking it that I know about it I don't know the full details but it did look like he was doing the walk of shame the next morning."

	Kalypso giggled. "It's hard to imagine Charlie doing those things. He's so straight laced. I'm going to have to ask him about the tattoo. Just to tease him a bit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Charlie definitely has a bit of a wild side," Ryan says, "Maybe he gets it from his mom or something. At least the tattoo isn't in to embarrassing of a spot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can believe that," she said. "He just hides it really well." "Now that you're back, have you started seeing anyone?" Kal asked as she grabbed the bowl of popcorn and then offered him some. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ryanspector 2011-03-27 03:14 pm UTC (link)
	"No I'm not seeing anyone right now," Ryan says grabbing a handful of popcorn, "Have done some flirting with a few girls on campus and stuff but no relationship or anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's good that you're getting out," she said. "And you're taking your time. Don't want to rush into anything you're not ready for." "I'm surprised things are so quiet around here lately. Though I guess that means something will happen soon now that I said that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ryanspector 2011-03-27 03:25 pm UTC (link)
	“Yeah rushing into a relationship just to be in one is not a good thing,” Ryan says, “I remember hearing you have a boyfriend how has that been going?” “Quiet time like this is nice,” Ryan says, “And if I want some action during it I go out on street patrols. But I don’t think you completely jinxed us just yet.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Jack and I are doing well, thank you for asking. We live together now and he does the patrolling the street stuff while I do the Avenger stuff. It works for us." "Here's to hoping. We all deserve some downtime that's quiet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I definitely enjoy it while I can get it because it never lasts," Ryan says, "Something always comes up and usually when you are least prepared for it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know," Kal said. "Though maybe it just seems quieter here because there are less people now since the others moved west." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ryanspector 2011-03-27 03:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Maybe," Ryan says, "Though I don't hang out here enough to really notice the difference too much and they left pretty soon after we got back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I hang out here quite a bit during the day. The apartment is too quiet when Jack's at school and I have no idea where my mother is right now." "Speaking of parents, how are yours?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

“Dad’s doing good, finds his work boring as all hell but it’s something to do since mom won’t let him do any heroing which is probably a good thing at his age. He’s glad to have me back even gave be a big hug when I saw after I got back. Mom’s doing good working at the museum she’s working on a big exhibit showing all the things her and my Grandfather found in Seti III’s tomb that they found years ago first time a lot of those objects are being exhibited. She was pretty broken up while I was gone not sure how dad helped her handle it but she is very happy to have me back.”

	Kal smiled. "I'm glad to hear they're both doing well and I'm sure they're happy you're back. You guys were gone for quite awhile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Yeah,” Ryan said, “Mom told me that if I ever left like that again for that long she’ll force me to get involved with Spector Corp.” Which with how much he did not want to get involved with it was a pretty good threat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
