Hank, Alison, Sunday morning

[x-beast.livejournal.com]

Hank encounters Alison while making breakfast for himself, for Forge, and for a certain pretty redhead. He tells her how hard it is to restrain his melodramatic romantic instincts, and there are affectionate promises of leg-breaking all around.

( Me, taking it slowly. )

Amanda and Clarice - catching up

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

Clarice seeks Amanda out to check on her after she has had some time to adjust to taking care of Meggan. They end up discussing bigots, doing the most good and life in general. Yay for friendship.

( I'm proud, though. )

Nathan, Domino, Anika and Piers, Sunday morning

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Life goes on. There's a certain amount of joy in that. Piers arrives at the mansion to head off to Tunisia with Domino and Anika, and find himself somewhat at the mercy of his new pack.

( The days after. )

Dr. McCoy and Dani - Swimming

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

Relaxing in the pool on Friday before Forge's accident, Dani and Hank discuss family and how much they do or don't think they need it and how glorious the pool is and how almost-glorious Hank's bathtub is.

( You can expect care packages to start arriving from my mom in a couple of weeks. )

Jean and Nathan, late Sunday morning

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Jean has happy news about a breakthrough with her powers for Nathan, who's pleased to hear it.

( I greatly regret my pessimistic ways. )

Cain and Domino, Sunday morning

[x-juggernaut.livejournal.com]

While the conscripted lawn force is mowing, Cain and Domino have a little chat that devolves into acting like eight-year-olds.

( The idea of Nate in a leisure suit was snickerworthy. )

Growing Pains: Part 3, Richard Forge, Amanda, Dani, and Jean

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

After getting the worst of the news, Forge's father waits for the final test results to come in, and is comforted by Amanda, who decides that if she can't help the son, the father needs it just as much.

( 'It's ironic that he comes here because he's different, and instead learns how to become... almost normal.' )

After some more discussion with Forge and Dr. McCoy, Richard heads up to the kitchen to see a familiar face.

( We're all a little crazy at times. It's the people we keep close to us that help us come back to earth. )

Settling into the guest room, Forge's father gets a visit from Jean. Some confessions are made, and later, some realization finally sets in hard.

( For what it's worth, though, I get no sense that Forge blames you. )

Alex and Lorna, Backdated to Monday April 25th

[x-havok.livejournal.com]

After a stressfull weekend for them both, Alex and Lorna talk about what's bothering them (mostly Manuel and Amanda) and then distract each other.

( Given the fight with Manuel, the talk with Nathan and her most recent conversation with Samson, her mood was anything but good )

Hank, Scott, Sunday evening

[x-beast.livejournal.com]

Hank goes down to talk to Scott about his prospective parenthood and its potential impact on the team. Scott is very official, Hank feels shut out, and feelings get hurt before some kind of understanding is reached.

(  Sunlight and green grass... I think that would be nice, don't you? )

Piers and Lorna, rec room

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Late Sunday, Lorna checks in on Piers and scolds him for being a terrible correspondent. They talk about recovery and embracing the inner self.

( Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. )

Log [Alison, Scott] Won't you be my tea guinea pig?

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Sometimes they come to you of their own free will and sometimes they just stumble in your path and you take them home for tea. Alison happens across Scott wandering in the hallways and decides he's to be her first guinea pig in her attempts to make the perfect Moroccan Mint Tea.

( I need to practice making mint tea as a surprise for Haroun. Be my hapless victim? )

Jean and Hank

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Jean tries to convince Hank that he is not allowed to be self-deprecating about his own pain. She doesn't manage it, but she does provide distraction, so some small success was had.

( I'd shake you, but it wouldn't do any good )

Terry, Tommy & Co. Sunday Afternoon

[x-traitor.livejournal.com]

Terry confronts Tommy at a local coffeeshop where he was hanging out with Josh and Duncan. Things don't go well for either teen and Duncan gets confused.

( Are you at all the boy I thought I was falling in love with? )
