Nightmares and Dreamscapes - Kal/Buck Angst 11
The scene shifted and Kalypso looked around. The buildings of New York had been destroyed and turned into rubble. The familiar landmarks and buildings were gone. Something had destroyed one of the greatest cities on Earth.

Kal looked around. Where were the Avengers? Why hadn't they stopped this destruction? Where were the Defenders? The X-Men? Any of the other hero teams? Why had they let this happen?

People moved about in the rubble and ruins and Kal desperately sought a familiar face. An elderly gentleman came up to her. He smiled and said her name, but she didn't recognize him. He said her name again and Kal took a closer look at him. "Jack?" No. It couldn't be Jack. Jack wasn't old and this man looked like he was pushing one hundred.

He smiled and nodded. Before he could speak again he started to age more and started turning into dust. "Nooo!" she yelled and reached out a hand. Jack turned completely into dust by the ravages of time and blew away with the wind. Kal's gut twisted into a knot.

There was laughing behind her and she turned to see her uncle standing there. The Mad Titan laughed and destroyed another building.

Kal reached out with her mind to find any Avenger left alive.

	Kal woke with a start and sat up in bed. It was a dream. She rubbed the bridge of her nose and sighed heavily. It was only a dream and she was thankful Jack was across the country in San Francisco to miss it. Kal climbed out of bed and headed down to the kitchen for some coffee. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Buck is already in the kitchen, post-morning workout, mixing up fruit, ice and yogurt in the blender for breakfast. Early enough yet, he hasn't bothered to change from his workout gear. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good morning," Kal said as she entered. "Any chance there's coffee?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-02-16 02:54 am UTC (link)
	He glances up, giving her an easy smile. "Uhm, not a coffee drinker, so none made. But that's easy to fix, or I could make you a smoothie instead? You're up early." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal gave him a small smile. This was just a bit awkward after having a dream with him in it. Pink touched her cheeks a bit. "I usually don't sleep since I don't need to, but I like to do it once in awhile. Thanks, but I would like the caffeine so I'll make some coffee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He may note the blush, judging by the slight quirk of a brow, but he doesn't bring any more attention to it. "Yeah, that's what your files said. I know its not necessary for eternals - your cousin never did while he was here, and your mom... is infamous for her 'not sleep' and all... but you prefer to try and keep habits?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I thought I was human for a long time. Some habits die hard, but I like sleeping once in awhile to not feel complete separated from humanity." She smiled. "I also love the feeling of laying next to Jack." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The rest of us are certainly glad to have you here, instead of Olympia." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks," she said. "That means a lot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-02-16 04:27 am UTC (link)
	"Means a lot that you've decided to stay on, even if the super hero lifestyle is stressful sometimes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2012-02-16 05:01 am UTC (link)
	"This isn't stressful. Stressful is dealing with my mother and the rest of my crazy family." Kal started prepping the coffeemaker. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-02-16 05:07 am UTC (link)
	Buck continues to focus on the smoothie, letting her tackle the coffee maker. "From the couple times I've met your mother, I could see that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mom is...Mom. She's quite the handful. Though she does seem to have fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-02-16 05:38 am UTC (link)
	"Isn't that more or less the entire focus of her existence?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2012-02-16 05:50 am UTC (link)
	"Just about," Kal said. "Her and my father." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thankfully, they still managed to find some time to help out the Avengers. I can live with that kind of hedonists." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2012-02-18 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	"True," she said. "They do take time out of their selfish desires to help." "How are you liking being here full time?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-02-23 02:47 am UTC (link)
	"Major adjustment, but I'm enjoying it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2012-02-23 03:22 am UTC (link)
	"Good. It's a little crazy at times, but worth it. I'm glad I'm here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Anything we could do to help you get more comfortable?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, I'm fine, Buck. I usually don't stay here at night so it helps." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-03-01 12:34 am UTC (link)
	"I'm sure, but given the resources available, and the hard work and risk everyone puts in, I'd like to make sure all the Avengers are being taken care of." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2012-03-01 02:23 am UTC (link)
	Kal kissed his cheek. "That's what makes you a great leader. I better get going. I should check to see what trouble my mother is getting into. I haven't heard from her in a bit and when that happens it usually means something big." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-03-03 04:40 pm UTC (link)
	That gets a smile, and a nod. "Alright, you take care. Say hi to your mother for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2012-03-04 03:24 am UTC (link)
	"Will do. See you later." With that Kal wandered out of the kitchen. (Reply to this)(Parent)
