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?

"Did I tell you," he began, kissing her lightly between words, "that I've been invited to submit the plans I drew for a playground as a final project to a city planning committee for urban improvement? Along with a few of my classmates." Honesty compelled him to add the last sentence. Chances were that nothing would come of it, but the approval of his instructors was a good thing.

	"You didn't," she said. "You're holding out on me, Mr. Murdock. That's incredible. I'm happy for you and I know they'll accept it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I found out just before Dad arrived. And you have all this distracting bare skin, Ms. Sersi." He ran a hand down her back and over her hip. "You have incredible skin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mmmmm," she purred under his touch. The man did have amazing hands. "I'll make a mental note to ask all questions when I'm fully clothed. When should you hear if it's been accepted or not?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Later this summer I'll find out if my project is still under consideration. With the way city governments run, if they do decide to use it, it'll be sometime next year before they break ground."

He slowly massaged her lower back, enjoying the feel of her pressed against him. "Dad told me stories about growing up in Hell's Kitchen and how the playgrounds were the streets and alleys, and weedy corner lots. It seemed liked a fair tribute to him to design a playground for the old stomping grounds."

	"I will keep my fingers crossed for you," she said. "Though if you want, I can go down there and do a little mind control and make them accept it." "That's a very nice gesture. He'll love that. Did you tell him?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I didn't get a chance to tell him before he told me his news. I'll tell him when things calm down a little." He pressed a kiss to her shoulder. "Thank you for the offer, but I'll wait like the others. I saw some of their projects. They're really good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There you go taking all the fun out of this," she said with a kiss. "How about one week we take a trip out there to see your parents? You can tell your dad then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'd like that." He would have said the same thing if she wanted to go to Death Valley in the middle of the summer heat. This time he wanted to show her the Northern Coast and a place to see concerts under the stars. Where the stars could easily be seen.

His massaging fingers wandered down her thigh, shifting her leg into place over his hip. "Are you still thinking about joining the Avengers?"

	"Anytime you want to go," she said. "You have your own personal airline. I'd love to take you to Olympia sometime. I'll ask my cousin Ikaris if you can visit." "I am. I need to be doing something. I can't sit around and do nothing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-05-28 12:16 pm UTC (link)
	"I'd love to and see the city again. With inhabitants this time." His first and only visit had been an eye opener. "I had the impression that they're going to accept legacy members. I can't imagine they wouldn't take you." He bent his head just a little lower to run his tongue back and forth along her collar bone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-05-28 12:28 pm UTC (link)
	"I'll ask, but I can't guarantee Ikaris will say yes. It's beautiful now and so much different from before." "They do accept legacy members, but I still need to be sponsored for membership. We'll see. I'm not in a rush." She did have practically forever. "I ever tell you how wonderful your mouth feels?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-05-28 12:37 pm UTC (link)
	"I think I heard a moan or two about it." He blew out a breath along the spot he'd just licked. "I understand if I can't see the city." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Shivers raced across her skin and she shuddered. "If worst comes to worse, we can always have my mother turn you into a cat or something and I can get you in that way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2009-05-28 12:46 pm UTC (link)
	"But will she turn me back?" Playfully, he purred into the curve between her shoulder and neck, nipping the smooth skin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That could depend on what kind of mood she's in," Kal half said, half moaned. She was quickly losing the ability to speak coherently. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	All part of his master plan! To make Kalypso feel as good as she made him feel. "You are so beautiful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Flattery, sir...." Not that he needed to flatter her to get anywhere. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"As long as you keep making those noises, I'll keep telling you the truth." Jack lifted his head to kiss her mouth. "What can I do to persuade you to spend the night?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-05-28 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	Kal smiled and kissed him. "You just did." (Reply to this)(Parent)
