Back home again
Ok, so the trip to Somalia was weird. But she did the job, and found her long lost father. Family reunion done, time for things to get a little more back to what passes for normal in the surreal place Kelly lives.

She calls the only other person outside of 'work' she has all that much contact with.

	The phone rings and Melissa's hand fumbles on the nightstand as she tries to grab it. She knocks over the alarm clock, her chemistry book, and her knife as she gropes in the darkness, fighting her way back from Dreamland. "Hullo?" she asks sleepily, rolling over. The bruises on her back are a reminder of last night's activities, and hurt like hell. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hey baby. Its me, sorry to wake you up early, but I just got back in town. Got some news for you, but wanted to see if you were free... or at least in my price range." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Melissa can't help the smile that pulls at her lips at hearing Kelly's voice. Being with her is still new to Melissa, but she wouldn't trade it for anything. Of course, this isn't going to be her little secret forever, but for now, she wants to enjoy it while it lasts.

"It's no problem. You wanna come over? I can make food or something. No classes today, so I'm free if you want me." she smiles.

"You know I want you." she teases back. She tucks dad's head in her bowling ball bag, letting him sleep off the night of tequila and nachos. She packs a decent selection of guns, knives and her handcuffs, working on getting packed while she talks.

"Food would be great. Nothing much to eat on shipboard, and nothing but nachos and tequila since I got back last night... don't ask. I'll be over in twenty?"

"See you in twenty. Call me when you're at the front door and I'll buzz you in. I've got to turn off the...alarm system." Melissa says. It wouldn't do to have Kelly show up and get cut to ribbons by all the wards she has for her apartment.

Once they hang up, Melissa gets up, showers, then throws on sweats and a t-shirt, then goes looking through her fridge. Ramen, day-old Chinese, and milk greet her.

"Delivery it is." she mutters to herself, waiting for Kelly to arrive.

Kelly packs up her dad's head well to muffle any sound. He needs to meet the girlfriend, but meanwhile, he needs his sleep. And its one of those details she can work up to. She fishes through her clothes til she finds something with no blood or bullet holes, and heads for Melissa's, arriving about twenty minutes after her call.

Normally she'd just break in - but this is girlfriend place, here, she'll just call up like requested.

"Okay, just a second." she says, when she answers. Melissa kneels to the floor, concentrates, and disarms the wards so that Kelly can enter without issue. She reminds herself to finish that damned charm bracelet soon so that she doesn't need to go through this, and to make a spare for May, too.

"Come on up." she calls back down. Kelly knows that Melissa's place is on the third story. When she arrives, Melissa opens the door.

"Hey beautiful." she grins. "How was your trip?"

	Kelly sets the bowling bag aside and puts her arms around Mel, trying to dip her low and kiss her, classic movie style. "Oh, you know, crappy airline food, crappy boat food, shoot some pirates, get back on the boat, then the plane for more of the same." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Melissa is dipped, kissed and thoroughly surprised at that greeting, taking it for all it's worth. She likes it, and it shows in the blush that develops on her cheeks.

"Bring any souvenirs? Any bullets or knives? How many pirates did you kill?" Melissa asks. While she doesn't want to pry in her girlfriend's business, things like killing pirates are worthy of story.

"Well, I'm going to order something from the pizza place down the street. Is that better than tequila and nachos?" she asks.

	"Oooohhh, pizza... yeah, that wins. As much meat, and as many peppers as can be packed on there? Or whatever you like... it just sounds good. And... geez... I don't know. I had a little help on this one, weirdly. At least a couple dozen, working for an ally of the Kingpin. Red wanted their ship blown up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Pizza it is, and some wings." Melissa says, going to make the call. She puts in the order, then hangs up the phone and goes to hug Kelly.

"Well, you did what the Boss Lady wanted, so it's all good. But why send back-up with you? She knows you're tough enough as it is.

Or did you find someone else with a mad-on for killing Kingpin's people?" she asks. After all, that was how they met.

Hugging her is easy - she was right there, almost pressed against Mel while she's making the call.

"Red didn't, the pirates were trying to throw my dad overboard. They were pretty piss-poor pirates though. None of them even had a peg leg, so he must have lost a step since the old days or he wouldn't have gotten tied up there. Still, it made the work quicker. No idea why he was there."

	"They were trying to kill your Dad? I hope you buried the fuckers, then." Melissa says, a bit of a snarl in her tone as she thinks about it. If anyone were trying to hurt her dad, she'd likely kill them all and let God sort it out. "Is your Dad okay? Are you okay?" she asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's easy to see where Kelly gets it from. Wade wears the same expression, though his is more bewildered. "Wait, there was ever a plan?" he then asks before he looks between the girls. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Melissa just nods slowly, noticing the that the train of thought passing between these two is eerily similar for two people who just met. "Okay, so...then the plan is have pizza and wings now, find something to blow up later?" she asks. That worked for her, for now. "What kind of experiment are we talking, baby?" Melissa asks.

	Wade can't help it. he looks between the girls and finds himself sniffling as his eyes tear up. "Y'know.." he says, his voice thick, "I never thought that I'd be much of a family sort of man.. But you girls have just made me the.. the most proud Daddy in the whole wide world. I love you guys! I wish I had arms to hug you!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm helpful!" cries Wade, before he grins to Mel and says "And you can call me Wade if you want. Or Daddy. Either one. I seem to think that now that I know that I procreated such a beautiful death machine known to mankind, I don't mind if I forget who Wade is.. We're all happy to be Daddy."
