I'll Be Home For Christmas
Anya walked into her apartment and immediate dropped the computer bag slung over a shoulder. Finals were over. The semester was over and she was a free woman until mid-January. Now it was time to go home. Home. The word never sounded so good. She wanted to see her parents, her siblings, her friends and Steve. She had a whole month ahead of her of being surrounded by the people she loved. It sounded perfect.

She went to her desktop and brought up Amtrak’s homepage and looked at the schedule. With any luck she’d be able to get a train that left in a few hours and be home by dinner time. Jarvis’ cooking was waiting for her along with her own bed.

Once a train ticket was purchased she went about packing her bags.

	There is a restaurant suitable to your requirements 32.4 miles ahead. If you wish a fast meal rather than a good one, you may take the next exit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His brow rose. "You programmed her to monitor what I eat? What sort of updates have you been doing on my poor car?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Quality over quickness, Darlene. Always," Anya told the car. "No. I merely upgraded her GPS and gave her restaurant listings. This way you know what's out there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I agree, Ms. Stark. Thank you for the updates. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You get thank yous and I get snippy reminders not to be late again. There's a conspiracy going on." He chuckled. "Thanks. I appreciate you taking care of her too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course there is. We're all teamed up against you. Haven't you realized this by now?" she teased. "You're welcome." She looked over at him. While he didn't look like hell, there were some dark circles under his eyes. "How are you doing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-10 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	"The professor says I'm doing well. Doc McCoy is still enjoying the puzzle of how Red Room and Weapon X managed to flip each other's switches in my head and turn me against you and Mom. He's not happy he missed it the first time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm really glad to hear that," she said and put a hand on his shoulder. "I'd hate to lose my brother and not be able to see him. The nightmares getting any better?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-10 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	He put on his smile. "I'd hate to be lost. They must be, I hardly have them at all now." Because a person had to sleep to dream, and he still wasn't doing much of that. "What about you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-12-11 12:05 am UTC (link)
	"Which means you aren't sleeping," she said. She knew her brother well and knew the tricks of dealing with nightmares. She had her own demons that appeared at night when she was asleep. "I'm okay. Seeing a shrink in Boston. I hate being up there though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-11 12:26 am UTC (link)
	He didn't bother denying it. "I'll have to arrange weekend sleepover movie marathons at your place to help with that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-12-11 12:32 am UTC (link)
	No denial proved her right. They were a lot alike in a lot of ways. "I have a plan to work on Dad while I'm home. Hopefully he'll change his mind on the commuting by suit thing. Then I can be at home where I belong." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-11 12:43 am UTC (link)
	"I heard that you're now on probation from the Young Avengers. Dad kept me from training with any of the students until my head was clear, but they go that far." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-12-11 12:47 am UTC (link)
	She shook her head. "I'm not on probation with them. I'm not an Avenger at all and I can't be one again until my probation from the state is up. The charter forbids anyone from being a member if they're serving a sentence for a crime." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-11 12:51 am UTC (link)
	"It's still temporary. You'll be back soon enough." He said it with a certainty that he felt. "The B-team that it is..." he added teasingly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-12-11 12:53 am UTC (link)
	She playfully punched him in the shoulder. "You mean the A-team. I'm not going to be on the B-team and be an X-Dork." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-11 01:04 am UTC (link)
	"Hey!" He laughed out loud. "You know your B team doesn't have the firepower we have." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-12-11 01:08 am UTC (link)
	Anya laughed. "Uh huh. You keep believing that." She had missed him. Misha could always make her laugh, even when she didn't have much to laugh about. "How are the X-Dorks, besides wishing they could be as cool as the Avengers? Anything interesting happening lately?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-11 01:12 am UTC (link)
	"Our cool quotient is already skyhigh," he said with a firm nod. "Interesting, hrm... Well, Lyta Worthington graduated college and came back to the Institute a few days ago. She says she's going to keep the school's books and fight me for team leader. I thought all you rich girls went to work for your daddy's company when you got your degree."

	"How is she? I haven't seen her in ages. Not all of us want to rule the world," she said with a huge grin. "Only some of us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-11 01:26 am UTC (link)
	"She's fine. Already tried to drink me and Joe under the table. She was the first wife, ya know. Still won't forgive me for not sharing my pudding cups." He grinned. "Give her a call over the break and exchange college stories. I'm sure she'd love to see you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-12-11 01:34 am UTC (link)
	Anya had to laugh. Lyta was always fun to be around and the perfect one to hassle her brother when Anya couldn't do it. "I'll see her at the charity ball. We both go every year." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-11 05:50 pm UTC (link)
	"Of course you do. That's what society princesses are good at." He braced himself for another shoulder punch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-12-11 05:56 pm UTC (link)
	"Well duh," she snarked. "We have to be good at something. We can't spend all of our time at the spa." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-11 06:31 pm UTC (link)
	He grinned. "And tiara shopping. Don't forget that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
