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.

Mom made the suggestion and Misha wondered why he hadn't thought of it first. He and Brat really didn't have time to talk the way they used to. He still worried he might hurt them, but it wasn't the crippling fear that had haunted the weeks after Weapon X.

He and Darlene left New York early and made okay time. She was used to taking the train, but hopefully he would get there before she left for the station. Finding the place wasn't hard, though parking was bad. Once he found a spot, he placed a call to Anya while he walked back to her apartment.

	"Stark," she said as she answered the phone without looking at the caller ID. She stuff dirty laundry into a duffel. She had managed to get half of it to the dry cleaners and picked it up. The rest she was taking home and going to do there. Besides, it was tradition to bring dirty laundry home from college. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Loganovich," Misha answered cheerfully as he strolled along. "My turn. Blue." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I believe that proper response would be Romanov or did you disown Mom?" she snarked. "Blue what?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I didn't disown anybody. My names are interchangeable, just what a guy needs when he's incognito. Just checking to see if you were paying attention. And what your schedule is like. I thought we'd get together and spend some quality time torturing you." He checked the address against the slip of paper from his pocket. "I know you have a busy social life ahead of you this season."

	"My schedule is pretty much open over break," she said as she stuffed the last of the dirty laundry in the bag. "The only required attendance I have is the charity ball. You know I'll always make time for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know you will, Anya, I'm just teasing. It's in the handbook." He found the door and knocked lightly. "I'm way behind my daily requirement of torture." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-12-10 07:45 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah I know," she said. "I'm behind in tormenting you. Hold on, someone's at the door." She walked over to the door and looked out the peephole. That bastard! She disengaged the security system and opened the door. "Bastard," she said, the smile on her face betraying any irritation in her voice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Surprise! You want to slug me first?" He disconnected and put the phone in his jacket pocket. "Or do I get a hug first?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-12-10 07:49 am UTC (link)
	Anya disconnected her phone and then threw her arms around him in a tight hug. "I've missed you, Prince Dork." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-10 07:53 am UTC (link)
	He wound his arms around her and squeezed her tight. "Not more than I've missed you, Princess Brat. You are way too far from home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know," she said as she released him. "Dad's not budging on the using the suit to commute since becoming the family delinquent. Come on in." She stepped back out of the way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He stepped in and wow, messy. Some things stayed reassuringly the same. "I got a pass from Xavier. He says it's likely I'm no longer more dangerous than usual to Romanova women, so Mom gave me your address and suggested you might like a little company for the trip home."

	"Be sure you wear ALL your tiaras to the ball this year. Time to impress your aunt." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-12-11 08:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Please. I can only wear one at a time," she said. "But I can always keep buying them." Anya actually only had one. "Okay, Darlene. I'm done. Ready for this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I am ready, Ms. Stark. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She sounds so damned polite, too. Next thing I know, she'll be wanting to know when to expect her tiara." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-12-12 01:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Why shouldn't she have a tiara? Right Darlene?" Giving Darlene was probably one of the best pranks she had ever pulled on her brother ever. Anya started the upload of the code. Since Darlene's AI didn't control any aspect of the car it was safe to do it while driving. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He rolled his eyes. "It's just her luck to be owned by a poor guy with an empty title." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Uh huh. It'll last longer if I don't have expensive tastes." He poked her knee. "You're just itching to turn every word around, brat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Uh huh. Do you even realize what all that stock is worth?" At about two thousand a share...it added up pretty quickly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-13 01:32 am UTC (link)
	Misha shook his head. "The stock isn't meant to be mine. It's yours with me as the condition attached. It looks good on paper but that's all it is and it's okay. I'll get into trouble if I start thinking of it as mine. I might want to vote or something." He glanced at her screen. "Did I just see a file named Torture Dork?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-12-13 02:06 am UTC (link)
	"Yes it is," she argued. "And you do get to vote. Don't listen to him Darlene. He likes too play the "poor" card." "No, you didn't. Now you're just imagining things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
