A trip to the theater.

	"Still in one piece. Given everything else that was happening at the same time, it's a wonder we're all still here. I thought it was a rule that you can't have more than three disasters happening at the same time, but I was wrong." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She nudged his foot under the table while unwrapping a burger. Multitasking! "Sarcasm will only get you teased more often. It's going to be a nice place when I'm done hiring somebody to clean it for me. " (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not that I couldn't do it myself," she felt compelled to add, "but I'd forget to dust or mop. Other things are just more interesting and distract me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Exactly so." He smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled back. "Dad used to threaten me with reassignment to the Savage Land if I didn't eat my vegetables and go to bed on time. I think I was six." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Gotta admit, my folks never thought of that one. Of course, it helped that they didn't know about the Savage Land at all." Pause, slowly frowning. "Or anything else. Man, Whitey made a dumb move there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Dumb move the way he did it. He had no idea what Kymellian psychic sorcery could end up doing to humans. Basically, they ended up in the position where they'd have a psychotic break if our fibs to cover our tracks about our activities didn't add up. Any of the four of us. And we weren't good liars. It took... a lot of work to get them past that. Mom still sees the SHIELD shrinks."

	She nodded. She didn't know that Mrs. Power was seeing a therapist, but it didn't surprise her. SHIELD benefits were pretty extensive. "I have to go in for my twice-a-year eval soon. I usually see Dr. Samson, but he's been tied up with other patients. The deputy director is considering allowing Dr. Morse access to my file and sending me to see her."

	"And she's signed the non-disclosure threat, too." Sammy smiled. "I'm not much of a surprise if it got out what I do. You, Aleks, and the team need to know. I trust you guys with my life. Everyone else? Not so much. They're already leery of saying anything with a Fury in the corner." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
