Cold Air (open)
Kalypso took a deep breath in and slowly let it out. Cold air was always good for clearing the head and the polluted air from lungs. Kalypso hovered far above New York, high enough that the city was just a speck of light in the dark. Mom had said the cold thing was a racial trait of theirs. Apparently Eternals liked high cold places and Kalypso appeared to be no exception.

She took another deep breath and closed her eyes. Everything was so peaceful up here. The troubles and cares withered away in the cold.

The summer had been a busy one. Mom's business was really taking off and Kal had been pressed into slave labor for much of the summer. Not that she minded much. She'd do anything for her mother. It had always been the two of them versus everyone else. Though now it was Mom, Kal and Jack against everyone else.

She smiled at the thought of Jack. The man had become such a huge part of Kal's life and she loved him beyond words. It was even worth the few bouts of interference from her mother. Mom hadn't even tried to move Kal back in with Jack again. Which Kal was very thankful for.

Kalypso looked up at dark sky above and at the stars. She smiled and started going up.

	"They burned up on re-entry. Came in a little faster than planned." She kissed him. "Hi." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The kiss was a pleasant distraction for a moment as he hugged her. "You were in space? Just now?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-09-02 12:14 am UTC (link)
	"Yes," she grinned. "I was high up clearing my head when I ran into Iason. We decided to take a short trip into space. Jack, if you could see the Earth from space. It's amazing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-09-02 12:29 am UTC (link)
	He shook his head, more in amazement than denial. "That's incredible. The flying was amazing, but space!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Iason offered to take me to Titan, but I wasn't exactly wearing the clothes for the trip. Mars was on the table as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-09-02 12:57 am UTC (link)
	He gave her another kiss before releasing her and getting a shirt for her to put on. "Titan is where your father is?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-09-02 01:00 am UTC (link)
	Kal nodded. "Yes. I would have gone, but I don't want to just drop this on him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-09-02 01:08 am UTC (link)
	"I can understand that." Jack handed her the shirt, buttoned down and went to get something for them to drink. His sofa wasn't that kind to bare skin and that's where they'd be watching movies later. Plus, the shirt was buttoned down and his artist's eye liked the peeks of skin between the buttons. "Your mom should probably be with you at the first meeting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal slipped into his shirt. She loved wearing his shirts when she was at his place. It made her feel closer to him, which these days was getting harder. Since learning she wasn't even a mutant, or human for that matter, she felt herself drawing further away from people and humanity in general. "I would just like her to tell him about me. I can handle meeting him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-09-02 07:26 am UTC (link)
	"I wonder why she hasn't," Jack mused as he put ice in glasses. "Now that she has her memory back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-09-02 07:27 am UTC (link)
	"It's my mother. I don't try to figure out what goes through that woman's mind. It's a scary place." Kalypso flopped down on the couch. "It's not like she's ever going to be responsible or anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-09-02 07:32 am UTC (link)
	That sounded a little disgruntled to him, when he knew Kal loved her mother dearly. Something must've happened. He brought the glasses over and handed her the one with juice. He drank filtered water most of the time. "You two have another discussion?" he asked sympathetically, sitting down next to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-09-02 07:34 am UTC (link)
	"No. She's just frustrating," Kal said. "I need to talk to her about this, but I know what she's going to say. It's just going to turn into an argument about my father." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-09-02 07:47 am UTC (link)
	"I'm sorry." Jack put an arm around her shoulders. "Iason is willing to take you to Titan? It sounds like you're going to have to do this without Sersi." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-09-02 07:49 am UTC (link)
	"I don't want to just drop in on him. Nothing could be worse than a kid suddenly showing up and saying 'hi dad'." She leaned into him and kissed his jaw. "I love you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-09-02 08:00 am UTC (link)
	Kal was so good at distracting him. "I love you, sweetheart. You know whatever you want to do about it, I'll back you all the way." He kissed her softly. "Right up to the moment my air runs out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-09-02 08:02 am UTC (link)
	She smiled up at him. "I know and I'd never let your air run out. Ever. Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-09-02 08:12 am UTC (link)
	He bumped noses with her. "Eliza pretty much did that, you know. She said 'Hi Dad', and Dad nearly regained his sight, he was the surprised even with the warning." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-09-02 08:13 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, but your Dad can't channel cosmic energy and shoot heat beams from his eyes and hands. While I'm immortal, I can still feel pain." She rubbed her nose against his. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-09-02 08:18 am UTC (link)
	"Your dad is going to think you're amazing and start a fight with your mother for keeping you away from him so long," Jack assured her. "Sersi will be so busy with that she'll forget to nag you about anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-09-02 08:19 am UTC (link)
	Kal chuckled. "How do you always know what to say and how to make me feel good?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-09-02 08:49 am UTC (link)
	"Because it's true, Kal. You are a wonder." He kissed her nose. "Just promise me you'll let me know ahead of time if your dad wants to ask me about my intentions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-09-02 08:58 am UTC (link)
	"Promise," she smiled. "Though I don't think you'll have to worry. From what I've heard of my father...well we could have both my parents trying to move us in together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-09-02 09:01 am UTC (link)
	"Who knows? By the time that question comes up, we might be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-09-02 09:02 am UTC (link)
	She smiled. "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
