33 Apocalypse Ave., Sunday Morning

[bitten_notshy]

To go by the dance the day before, half of creation had come back to the island for the weekend. Jack decided to ignore the paranoid edge niggling at him about how that was just asking for the island to get into one of its nastier moods in favor of getting a nice breakfast together. Ronan was staying for the weekend, as was Emma (of course), and he suspected there might be a former housemate or two who would want to stop by for the sake of nostalgia.

So he went to J,GOB's early that morning and bought a nice breakfast spread -- a few dozen bagels, cream cheese, smoked salmon and other fixings, plus a dozen assorted muffins for anyone who didn't appreciate the nirvana that was a really good bagel. He brewed a large pot of coffee and settled in with a poppyseed bagel liberally piled with salmon. Even if no one else showed up, this was an entirely civilized way to start a Sunday.

"Are we sure you aren't precognitive?" Emma asked as she came downstairs, fully dressed if still slightly sleepy. "Because this is perfect."

Well, almost perfect. She disappeared into the kitchen for a moment to make up a few pop-tarts to go with her coffee and bagels. She needed a sugar kick to be civilized before noon on a Sunday.

"Maybe I am," Jack said, grinning at her. "It'd be a useful power to suddenly spout, wouldn't it?"

He rose to kiss her cheek. "Hi, darling. Did you have a good time at the dance?"

"I still can't get Alex to dance," she commented wryly, accepting the kiss. "My wiles clearly need work."

"Triela is here," and Emma closed her eyes to shut out the pain of knowing she was going to lose her roommate -- again -- to a pointless death. "And Ino may be coming by later for a telepathic conference, so don't be too scandalized if we vanish together."

"Alex never did know what was good for him," Jack teased, and helped himself to some more coffee before he spoke again. "I'm sorry about Triela, but I won't mind seeing INo.I never got to know here very well but she always seemed interesting."

"Of course Alex doesn't know what's good for him, it's why we're friends," Emma replied with a ghost of a smile. Because she was quite aware of how much she and Alex had in common in that regard, thank you growing emotional maturity.

"But yes, Ino and I have some interesting things to do. Do you mind if we steal an unused bedroom to work?"

"My house is your house," Jack told her, gesturing up the stairs. "Though now you have me all curious what the two of you intend to do."

[icecoldfrost]

"I'll tell you after," she promised with a kiss. "Did you have fun last night?"

[bitten_notshy]

"I did," Jack nodded. "I feel bad that I got so caught up in classwork I didn't get there earlier, but I still managed to say hello to Mitchell."
