Kitchen, 33 Apocalypse Ave., Saturday Morning

[bitten_notshy]

There were certain advantages to having been on the island for most of three years.

For example, when one woke up and saw a woman looking back from the mirror over one's dresser, the experienced male Fandomite who'd been through this twice before did not shriek -- or at least, he didn't if he was Jack.

Instead, Jack permitted himself one streak of swearing, then took a picture of his new ... assets to send to Emma to tease her. Then he pulled on a t-shirt and yoga pants Emma had forgotten when she moved back to school, twisted his hair into a knot, and padded into a kitchen to start the pot of coffee.

He wondered if he ought to wake Kaidan and Ronan to warn them, but decided against it. A sudden switch in genders was really the sort of thing you had to discover on your own.

"It would be harder to keep you contained," Derek said matter'o'factly. "You would be able to handle a higher level of pain to escape."

[bitten_notshy]

And there went a whole new level of horrors to consider.

"Sedate me?" Jack suggested. "Or let me in the woods and have Ronan put up a barrier."

"It'll be something to keep in mind." Derek was so, so cheerful.

"And something to hope we don't have to deal with," Jack said, and looked across the table at Derek. "So do you think you could call before you come over, or should I give you a key and let my housemates know you might turn up?"

He didn't honestly mind Derek turning up unannounced; it seemed a perfectly Derek course of action. But at the same time, he didn't want to encourage him to ruin the locks.

"A key?" Whoa whoa. Jack, you hadn't even bought him dinner yet!

[bitten_notshy]

Jack shrugged, acknowledging he was getting ahead of himself. "You let yourself in anyhow," he pointed out. "And I doubt telling you not to would do much good. At least if you had a key you wouldn't break a door doing it."

He hoped not, anyhow.

"I could use the window." Was he joking? It was just so hard to tell.

[bitten_notshy]

...

"I'm so tempted to make a 'raised by wolves' joke here."

[justlurkinghere]

Oh, c'mon! Try a new one!

Derek rolled his eyes. "A key works."

[bitten_notshy]

"I'll bring one by the bar Wednesday," Jack said, satisfied with the compromise.

And not at all ashamed to have caused an eyeroll.
