Adjustment Time
Still bothered five days after the lunch that introduced both a sister and a view of his father Jack didn't realize existed, Jack was spending a lot of time on the roof looking at the New York skyline.

He hadn't picked up a pencil or piece of charcoal in the whole five days.

He'd spent some of them with Dad, in between Matt dealing with Eliza and Mrs. Stark, assuring Dad that everything was okay. In a sense it was. He liked Eliza enough for someone he didn't know much. He wished it didn't feel like Mom was getting the raw end of something.

He hadn't spoken to Kal directly in the last five days. He'd left some messages for her, letting her know Dad was in town and they were handling family business. He even offered to go back to San Francisco with Dad and talk to Mom, but Matt felt this was one discussion that didn't need to include the whole family.

With the sun going down, Jack sent a text Kal's way.

Hey Gorgeous. Lunch or dinner soon?

	"Dad's gone now, so feel free to steal my covers any time." He handed her a set of chopsticks and set the opened containers of food in front of them. "Anya wasn't at lunch with her mother and brother so I haven't met her yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled as she took the chopsticks. "Is that an invitation, Mr. Murdock?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Invitation sounds better than begging, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-05-28 08:43 am UTC (link)
	She chuckled. "Yes, yes it does. I accept the invitation. Eagerly." She grabbed a container of Lo Mein and dug in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack went for the fried rice. Carbs, good! Especially when he hoped to be expending a lot of energy soon showing Kal just how much he appreciated her. The urge to sketch was coming back the more he relaxed. When he finished eating, he stretched out on the blanket and watched the sky with a smile on his face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal didn't eat much, she didn't need to eat in the first place, and then stretched out next to him. "What are you thinking about, love?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm thinking that right now is the best I've felt in a week." He took her hand to hold in his and closed his eyes, tracing the elegant shape with his fingertips. He thought he would recognize the touch of her skin if he were blind.

He brought her hand to his lips to taste her skin. "Tell me more about these cousins that showed up. One wants to be an Avenger. What does the other one want?"

	"Iason is very young for one of us. Nineteen. He's more powerful than me and the other Eternals." She sighed. "Sprite is only slightly younger than my mother and he's a prankster. Which means he's up to trouble. It's just a matter of time until something happens." "Tell me about your sister. What's she like?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-05-28 09:21 am UTC (link)
	"Eliza is a redhead, like her mother and sister. She goes by Lady Devil, but I'm not sure if she's a mutant or just very agile and quick like Dad. She can't cook, which is a female Romanov trait according to Mikhail Romanov. She seems nice. We'll probably get along just fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal smiled. "I'm looking forward to meeting her. She sounds interesting." "We'll have to invite her out to dinner sometime." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-05-28 09:31 am UTC (link)
	"That is a great idea. I can always get a hold of her through the Avengers mansion. Mrs. Stark said to stop by any time." He rolled to his side to look down at her. "Shame your cousin is interested in Anya Stark. We could've double dated. You and me, your cousin, my sister." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-05-28 09:33 am UTC (link)
	She smiled up at him. "We can invite my cousin. Make it sort of a family affair." "Playing matchmaker already?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-05-28 09:36 am UTC (link)
	"Just in case she doesn't like me, she'll at least have somebody to look at." He traced the line of her jaw. "If your cousin looks anything like you, he'll be pulling the girls off by the handfuls." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He could already be doing that," Kal said and turned her head to kiss his fingertip. "He's quite hot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-05-28 09:59 am UTC (link)
	"See? I could be the world's worst brother and she won't even notice if she's looking at him." Jack began tracing the outline of her lower lip. "But if he's into Anya, there could be problems. No double dating. I'll invite her to have dinner with me and the wonderful girl I'm dating." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-05-28 10:01 am UTC (link)
	"Who else are you dating Mr. Murdock?" she teased as she poked him in the chest. "I want to meet this girl." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-05-28 10:10 am UTC (link)
	He chuckled, covering her hand against his chest. His heartbeat was loud to his own ears. Kal smelled delicious. "If I tell you that, I'll have to beg for you to take pity on me and steal my covers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-05-28 10:14 am UTC (link)
	"Let's go inside so I can steal your covers," she said and kissed him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Keep talking like that, you can have anything you want," Jack breathed.

He was reluctant to move, as close they were stretched out on the blanket. But the promise of getting his hands and mouth on her bare skin in the privacy of his bedroom was very enticing.

He moved and drew her up with him. The containers were put back in the bag haphazardly and with frequent pauses to kiss those lips driving him crazy. He had a sudden urge to sketch that mouth in all its glory. Later. When she was asleep and he wanted to stay awake a little and watch over her.

	"Mmmm promise?" she purred. She helped him pack up and carry the leftovers inside. She waited until he had the left overs in the fridge to put her hands on him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-05-28 10:46 am UTC (link)
	"Promise." As soon as her hands were on him, the urgency tripled in need. From the kitchen to the bedroom seemed like a million miles crossed in a heartbeat when they were in the dark room and undressing each other by touch alone. (Reply to this)(Parent)
