June 14th-Early AM

[morethan084]

Hope I’m not waking you.

You seen Thor recently?

Re: June 14th-Early AM

[pursuitofcappiness]

No?

Is he not with you?

[morethan084]

No he hasn’t been home in over a day.

Hasn’t answered his phone or messages either.

[pursuitofcappiness]

I don't think he realizes he has to check his phone.

It's not a big town, but I wouldn't worry too much. Sometimes he just disappears without telling anyone. He didn't leave for Asgard this time, but. He can't be far.

[morethan084]

He was so excited to have a solution as far as getting rid fo the ghosts. Said he would tell me how it works once he got back.

He never came back.

[Clearly.]

[pursuitofcappiness]

Yeah, he'll do that. Announce he has a plan and then not tell anyone.

[morethan084]

[Damn.]

My gut tells me something is wrong. Can you try getting in contact with him?

[pursuitofcappiness]

I'll look for him but if he won't answer his phone, he won't answer for me.

[morethan084]

He’s known you longer than me.

[She’s desperately clinging to the very unlikely possibility that he just doesn’t want to talk with her or come back home. Okay?]

[pursuitofcappiness]

He has and I'm telling you, he won't answer for me.

I left him a few messages.

text, before going into the great sleep

[sinnabon]

Hey Steve, it's Jack.

I'm not sure if the Fluids will work in the Great Sleep, and I know it'll probably get dangerous, so I wanted to let you know there's another way you can reach me if you get into trouble and need some help.

It's kind of weird, but since I'm part angel, I can hear prayers? It doesn't have to be anything special, you can even say "Jack, get over here" and that works. Just start talking out loud and say my name like you're trying to talk to me. I'll hear it and teleport straight to you.

praying

[pursuitofcappiness]

Hi, Jack. Nothing's happened, just want to make sure I'm doing this right. So you're part angel? I'm not really sure how that works, but it's cool.

action

[sinnabon]

[ after the some of rushing wind and something that sounds like fluttering wings, bam. one jack kline, standing a couple yards away in your living room, or wherever you are. ]

Neither am I. I'm kind of the only half-angel there is right now, and no one really left notes on how anything works.

Re: action

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ He isn't expecting that, but recovers quickly. ]

Well, looks like you got the powers. Did they give you a rank?

[ That would be cool. ]

Can I get you something to drink, by the way?

[sinnabon]

No. I don't talk to the angels much. They mostly just try to kidnap me.

[ or stab him in the chest when they fail at the kidnapping. thankfully, no one's found the right thing to stab him with yet. ]

Oh. Do you have apple juice? We don't have any at our house.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Oh.

[ Wow, Angels are assholes. Steve never knew that. ]

No, sorry. I do have orange juice if you'd like.

I don't know how many people you still have to tell about this.

[sinnabon]

I'd like orange juice. We don't really have any juice. Mostly just beer and energy drinks and water.

[ he lives with demon hunting frat boys. ]

Oh, I just sent out a bunch of texts. No one else is testing it out right now.

[ at least, if they are they're doing it wrong, because he doesn't hear them. ]

[pursuitofcappiness]

Alright. Well, you're free to stay here as long as you want.

Or come over any time.

[ He pours Jack a glass of orange juice, but he's going to keep some apple juice in stock for the future. ]

[sinnabon]

Thanks, Steve.

[ jack toddles along behind him, accepting the glass once it's offered and pausing to take a long sip from it. ]

Everyone I've met named Steve is really nice. [ granted, he's only met two people named steve, and one of them is steve harrington and he was not always nice, but shh. ] Were you a teacher back home too?

[pursuitofcappiness]

No. I was... a soldier, I guess.

[ How does he say he was an Avenger? And then unemployed from being on the run from several governments? ]

Still am, here. When I'm needed.

Who's the other one? Harrington?

[sinnabon]

A soldier. Who did you fight for? Or what?

[ jack's sipping at his juice and watching steve like he's waiting to hear the rest of the bedtime story. ]

Yeah, Harrington. With the big hair.

[pursuitofcappiness]

America. And then, Earth, I guess.

[ He takes a seat opposite Jack. ]

Haven't talked much to him, but I've seen him around.

[sinnabon]

Like, all of Earth? Was there an alien war or something?

[ hahahaaaaa. just gonna sit here and sip his juice and pay rapt attention. tell him about the aliens, steven. ]

He's funny, and he always answers my questions. I like him.

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ Good to know. He'll have to hit up Harrington sometime. ]

You could say that. We had aliens a few times, but most of the time it's just other people on Earth.

Xmas gift!

[variantcover]

[ Gwen wasn't expecting Cap to get her anything, so she scrambles to get him something in return. I'm the end, she delivers to his doorstep a nice pair of fur-lined leather gloves, with a note that reads, "Gotta keep those drawing hands warm this season!" ]
