An Old Friend
Fred was enjoying a moment outside, taking in the cool night air. Work had progressed acceptably, Sasha was inside making cookies, and his therapy sessions with Xavier were going well. All-in-all, things were going rather well.

"Hey, Friedrich!" came an emphatic whisper.

Fred turned in surprise. "Gary!? What are you doing on the surface?"

"Nice to see you too, kid," came the snarky reply. "Just wanted to give you a heads-up on that stuff you sent the eggheads."

"You mean the genetics data?"

"Yep."

	Gary looks over at Fred. "You are one lucky bastard. She's a keeper." "Yes..yes she is," Fred agreed. "So..how bad has it been?" "Better. Professor Xavier is helping me keep my mind more level." "Good. Let her take care of you, kid." "Gary..." "Seriously, Friedrich. Let someone pamper you a bit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cleaning up the rest of the dishes, she went and sat in the living room, lights low. She wasn't ready to go to bed until she knew how Fred was doing tonight - particularly if he was having a visitor from his past. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It's..something to consider. So how bad would the Ascendants react if I were successful?"

"Depends on whom. Anders would scream the walls down on our heads. Masterson would probably be in the streets calling for an uprising. And Yurivich..God only knows what that psycho would do. But don't you worry, kid, we're keep them off you."

"Thank you, Gary. I appreciate that."

"Hey, you've done for us. Sanctum doesn't forget its friends." Gary's quiet for a moment. "You two boinking?"

"Shut up!" Fred said, turning crimson.

"Okay, okay," Gary let up. "I'll tell the guys you said hello. Take care of yourself, Friedrich." And Gary disappears in a flash of light.

Fred felt a little better, but also a little weightier. He went back inside.

	Curled up on the couch, she heard him coming in, scratching the fabric of the couch with her nail to let him know where she was if he was interested in joining her. It worried her, hearing about the fact that his work had people up in arms. It made her feel more like she wanted to wrap him up and take him away somewhere. Somewhere safe.

	Fred heard the sound, making out the form of Sasha on the couch with his darkvision. He gratefully move to join her on the couch. "Thank you for the cookies." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She shifted to curl up against him when he joined her, head resting on his shoulder. "Anytime, sweetie. Is everything okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-03-29 06:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes..relatively. There is no immediate danger in any event," he assured with a light smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-03-29 06:06 pm UTC (link)
	"But there might be?" She tipped her head up and gave him a worried look. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-03-29 06:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Very unlikely," he stated firmly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-03-29 06:20 pm UTC (link)
	"There better not be," she grumbled, settling back against him. He was making progress, and all in the right direction. She didn't want to think about what would happen if the extremists on either side got their hands on him. "So, Gary seems nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-03-29 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	"If I believed the threat significant enough, I would inform Xavier," he assured. "He is. A bit too blunt sometimes, but a good person." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yay, html fail!! :) echokinetic 2012-03-29 06:40 pm UTC (link)
	"You'd better..." She prodded him in the side to emphasize her point. A soft laugh at that. "Is he, now? Seemed perfectly fine to me. Of course, I have no idea what you were talking about before I got there or after I left." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Yay, html fail!! :) dark_scion 2012-03-29 06:49 pm UTC (link)
	It didn't really hurt, but her point was taken. "He's a lot like you actually. Save for the height and mammary glands," he said dryly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Yay, html fail!! :) echokinetic 2012-03-29 06:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Harde har har. You love my mammary glands, along with the rest of me. If I start seeing you making goo-goo eyes at Gary, I might not be so inclined to give him cookies next time he comes visiting." Sticking her tongue out at him, she grinned and made to get off the couch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I do indeed," he admitted with a smirk. He gently takes her arm. "Stay a moment. I enjoy your company. Please?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-03-29 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	He didn't have to ask twice, or even once, for that matter. The hand on her arm would have stopped her. Smiling, she moved back, curling up against him and settling her legs over his lap. "I'm not gonna lie, Fred. I love hearing that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-03-29 07:33 pm UTC (link)
	He idly caresses her legs. "I know you do." His face turns serious. "SO how much of our conversation did you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-03-29 07:35 pm UTC (link)
	She huffed and swatted his shoulder. "Give me a little credit. I kept my nose out of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-03-29 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Sorry," he said sheepishly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-03-29 07:56 pm UTC (link)
	"You so aren't," she grinned, reaching for his hand and covering it with both of hers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-03-29 08:30 pm UTC (link)
	He smiled, gripping her hands where he can. He frowns slightly. "I hope you understand that there are things I can't talk about. I made promises to people I respect." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-03-29 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	"I do. Which is why I'm not a completely nosy nelly. Mostly. But you have to understand that I'm going to worry and ferret out what I can so I know what I need to do to keep you safe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-03-29 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	He considered arguing, but just nodded. "Very well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	echokinetic 2012-03-29 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	The capitulation surprised her, but she just nodded and brought his hand up to kiss. "Damn straight. You're stuck with me now, good and bad. That means I'm going to bitchsmack anyone that tries to lay a hand on you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-03-29 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	He chuckles warmly. "You do know I can take care of myself, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
