WHO: Thomas, Jamie, Victor and Kat
WHAT: Apocalypse reunions
WHEN: A week after this and a few days after this
WHERE: Jamie and Thomas'
WARNINGS: Apocalypses

Thomas was seated in the living room, sucking the life out of one of their precious cigarettes. It had been a week since Jamie had been successful at finding much of anything when he went out to search for food. Thomas was hoping the cigarette would calm his hunger pangs, though so far it wasn't all that helpful. Their house smelled like smoke and coffee. If they couldn't eat anything, at least they could indulge in a bit of caffeine.

A loud sound interrupted the quiet and Thomas very nearly dropped the end of his cigarette. There was a vehicle outside. And it could be Victor and Kat's armoured RV, in which case they might actually get to fill their empty bellies. Or it could be someone else, someone from one of the many armies currently waging war across the world. They could steal the few remaining things Jamie and Thomas had to their name. They could take Jamie from him. They could kill the both of them.

"Jameson, come here-" Thomas said, stubbing his cigarette out against the wall and holding an arm out to his son. His voice was laced with fear. "Come over here!"

Jamie tried to protest, but he could tell that was a losing battle. So he took his plate into the living room, taking the chair next to his father. He smiled as he came into the room. "Dang, I feel better," he said. He took a bite of the chicken, and it may not have been the most exciting thing he'd ever eaten, but it was delicious. He told himself not to scarf it all down at once, he'd probably make himself sick. "This is delicious, Victor," he said.

"There's more if you need it!" Victor called after Jame. When he finally re-entered the living room, he was carrying a bowl of mashed potatoes and chicken cut up so small it was barely recognisable. "Here, Thomas. Do you need me to hold the spoon?"

Thomas nodded, not even bothering to feel embarrassed. "My hands haven't been so good lately," he admitted.

"That's alright, I'll help."

"No airplane or into the hatch babyfood jokes," Thomas said dryly and Victor actually chuckled.

Victor did take a moment to plant a quick kiss on Kat's hair, but he didn't want poor Thomas to have to wait any longer to eat. Then he pulled a chair over and sat in front of his friend. As he spooned some of the food into Thomas' mouth, he tried to make conversation. "Michael led us to a supply factory which still had a bunch of supplies so we stocked up. We got really lucky."

When Victor was busy with Thomas she handed Jamie her plate and gave him a look not to complain or say much. She wasn't terribly hungry anyway. She'd much rather wait and give the food to people who needed it.

"Sometimes Angels are handy." She knew her grandfather would help as well. It was just the wondering how he'd manage it all that ended up causing her not to ask. At least Michael was honest.

	Jamie raised his eyebrows as he took her plate. True, he probably could have eaten his share and hers, but he didn't want to take it away from her. But to appease her, he took a bite of the chicken. "Sounds like it," Jamie agreed. "Sometimes getting lucky while you're out looking is the best thing to happen all week." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"There's seventeen of us now," Victor continued. "Michael is helping us find homes for some of them soon. "Angels are pretty handy." He fed Thomas more of the potatoes and chicken and Thomas promptly coughed it all back out all over Victor's face and shirt.

Thomas bent over, coughing and hacking, trying to catch his breath while Victor immediately put down the bowl to help him.

"Not your fault!" Thomas managed to grit out. And it hadn't been. It was simply his body rebelling against one of the things he needed most. "I'm sorry."

"Thomas, it's okay. We'll try again in a moment," he said before giving a worried look to Jamie and Kat.

	She waved to Jamie to take the plate before frowning at Thomas' coughing fit. She wasn't terribly sure what to do so she set her hand on Jamie's to offer him silent support before rising and getting some water. With a smile she handed the cup to Victor. "Here Thomas. There's some water, do you think you'll be alright?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
