Unexpected Visit
Jack was lazing away the morning at home, alone because Kal had a cousin in town she was shepherding around until he learned his way. The morning was a little lonely. He'd gotten used to having Kal around when they both were free. His design project was turned in and all he needed was his grade to know if he was wasting his time and should give law school a shot.

He didn't get any visitors, so the doorbell ringing was something of a shock. He closed the sketchpad, put his coffee cup on the kitchen counter and went to answer the door.

Mom having trouble dealing with it wasn't good for anybody. She always got that look in her eyes when Natasha Romanov's name was mentioned, and it had been mentioned a lot in the newspapers since she married Tony Stark.

"Okay." Jack nodded and looked at his father. "When do we meet her?"

Matt knocked back a little more coffee and just tasted for a moment. "Today," he said with a bit of a sigh.

For a moment Jack had thought Dad was going to tell him to stay behind. They'd been a tight little family for twenty years. It wouldn't be that hard to make a little room for a lost sister, would it?

"Maybe I'm not getting something here. Mom's okay. The two of you aren't doing something stupid. What's happening isn't anybody's fault. What's worrying you so much about it?"

Matt manages a small smile. "Jack, it's been quite a night and morning. I'm not restricted to sensible worrying. For one thing off the bat, I can worry how much I'll disappoint a frightened girl by being her father and not being her father at the same time. She's used to a completely different set of life experiences." Well, not completely, but thinking on those lines was not going to help the situation. Especially not with Elektra's comfort zones.

Jack rolled his eyes. Now he knew where he was. "Dad, you're not going to disappoint anybody. You're a great dad. I'm living proof. Mom will come around. You're the one that tells me we can handle anything if we stick together. Well, we're sticking together."

"Good points," Matt conceded simply before downing some more of the coffee. "So. Lunch with your sister. And the rest of her family-in-exile. Best get changed for it."

"Your bag's in the bedroom. Take a shower and relax a little. You'll scare the poor kid if you don't." He grinned at his father. It didn't matter if Dad couldn't see it, the humor was in his voice.

Matt sniffed as good-naturedly as he could manage as he carefully stood up. "Thanks."

And getting-ready-time commenced.
