Tess Holt did not Approve of all-nighters. She was human. Humans needed sleep. Damn it, she was going to sleep.

But tonight, she couldn't. Too much on her mind. So eventually, with barely two cumultaive hours under her belt, she got up, turned on her desk lamp, and worked on an extremely complicated schedule for 'impact heroics' in the five boroughs. And a supplemental schedule for Buffalo and Bridgeport. Just because. Shazam and the Flashes could always cover it if the rest couldn't get out there, after all. She made a schedule for parts of New Jersey, but trashed it because she didn't want any clash over methods with Certain New Jersey Based Persons.

Her desk area is covered in maps and scheduling charts by the time she runs out of things to arrange on the information she's got, and goes to the intercom.

"Steven?" she says quietly.

	And lying on his shoulder and snuggling will happen. Considering she's been operating for the past few hours on only two hour's sleep, she's pretty exhausted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He gets that impression. He lets her lie there for a bit, then gently nudges her. "Sweetie, I want you to do something for me. Go get cleaned up. Don't get dressed though. If you clean up good, and stay naked, I'll stay in here and you can sleep on my shoulder tonight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...okay. Sounds nice," she says tiredly and manages to go do so, eventually returning flesh, clean, and naked to his arms. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He has the bed all neatly rearranged by then, and has tucked himsel well back under the blankets so she can crawl in with ample room. He's got the pillows, but offers his shoulder as a replacement for her, as promised. "Welcome back, sweetie." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tess smiles, and cuddles right back on the promised shoulder. "Thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A contented little sound. "Of course, no matter how lovable you are, we still have a ridiculous amount of work to do with the new schedule. Mind taking me up to Buffalo on the 2nd, 13, and 28th of the coming month?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not at all. And as far as making sure everything gets done on time, I can always cheat. For example... like I've been doing most of tonight. You've only lost thirty minutes of sleep time since we came up here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That gets a laugh and a shake of his head. "It has inherent safeguards. You'll be hungry tomorrow morning, but otherwise, no real change." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
