Welcome to the Gang
Mel had researched, and called Dad and really worked on this. She'd gotten the recipe for a traditional Georgian style of baklava. When it was ready, she haunted the air filtration system and let the scent get everywhere in the base.

	"Sounds great," Nim said, as she pulled up a chair. She'd heard Mel's story before, but listened anyway. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex had been curled up asleep on his bed when the smells of Mel's baking reached him. He padded is way into the kitchen. /Something smells really good./ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Dad wasn't a mutant-supremacist terrorist, but... he used to get their coffee. As soon as he realized how crazy they were, he got the X-men and let them all in and got out of it. He never hurt anyone." Her face brightens when Alex comes in. "Hi." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He came to Canada to get away from all that stuff... fudged his immigration papers just a little, but he's never committed a crime otherwise. He and Mom met at a Non-Violent Mutant Rights Activism meeting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah. She's not a pacifist, but she was into the non-violent rights stuff anyway." Mel appreciates her grandfather's not being mentioned. "So they went to the meeting; she gave a talk; he served the refreshments; they ended up getting along really well. They're still married. Mom works as an aerobics instructor when there's not the occasional government contract and...." Mel looks away slightly. "Dad's a nurse at the secure wing at Sinai hospital in Toront."
