Akima was stretched out on the balcony of their hotel room, reading a book in the sun. She hummed softly, the breeze playing with her hair as she read. They'd left the country the second things had gone bad in New York, at Pulse's request, and had spent the ensuing days not paying attention to the news from America.

Pulse was still asleep, this morning, but Akima never really slept more than five hours at a time, so she'd snuck off to read a book. It was a rather good book, about alien parasites that lay their eggs in people's bodies.

Luckily, it didn't remind her of any aliens she'd ever encountered.

He chuckled and was about to answer when the phone rang.

"Yes? Pulse here..."

His eyesbrows went as Lorna's voice came on the other side. The following conversation was... interesting.

Lorna "Hey! How are you, Pulse? Am I interupting anything?"

Pulse "Lorna? Aren't you on vacation? Like, away from internet and phones and such?"

Lorna "Yes, yes, and no. I can't exactly send triple A a smoke signal if we crash. How's your vacation going? Is your giiiirlfriend there?"

Pulse "Ah, good idea. Fairly well on this end. Sex, food, sex, food sex, rampant nudity, and more sex. And yes, she is."

Lorna "Hee! You know how to show a girl a good time. Tell her I said hi! Or, I can tell her hi when you get here. See, this is where I sneakily ask you a favor."

Pulse "When I get there? What is going on, oh sneaky type Lorna?" He spoke to Akima for a moment. "Ready to log some naked piloting hours?"

Lorna "Oooh, is she pretty? I heard that, by the way. And I lost my pills over the grand canyon. I will owe you a huge planet sized favor if you go to any of the big chain pharmacies in England and grab a month's worth or Orthotricycline, a toothbrush, and a box of condoms. Plus, I'll pay you back on Monday when I get back to London."

Pulse "She is gorgeous. Wait... what Pills? Ortho--- isn't that birth con-- right. Okay. Can do. You have a GPS, right? We can find you with that."

Lorna "Yeah. I'm at (lattitude and longitude). It's a long and surely amusing story. Well, not long, but definitely amusing. At least you'll probably think it's funny. Her name's Akima, isn't it? It's been way too long since we've hung out. She must be keeping you pretty busy."

Pulse "Ahhh. I imagine so. Yes her name is Akima. I work a lot. She is... fantastic."

Lorna "Awwwww. I'm glad. Someone had to collar you. You got transport? We're at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, but we can go to the top and meet you, if that'll be easier."

Pulse "You are asking for a favor. Careful now. WSe have transport. Don't worry. We can get to you."

Lorna "It's preemptive teasing. You'll get your turn in a bit. Thanks Pulse. You're awesome. And I can't wait to meet her!" (laughing, and to Alex) "He's bringing his girlfriend, which should be interesting."

Pulse "Thanks. See you in a few hours... okay, in the morning, likely."

Lorna "My morning or your morning? Because it's morning here for me right now."

Pulse "Ah, my morning. I'll call you when we are close."

Lorna "Thanks. See you soon. Be safe."

Pulse "You too."

He hung up and looked over at Akima.

"Let's eat. We have a job."

	Akima laughed and bounced a bit. "Sounds like fun! Who's Lorna?" Since he'd talked about her, Akima wasn't jealous. Just curious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A friend, formerly of the with benefits variety, till she settled down. Still friends, and she is of with her boyfriend type person on a vacation in the grand canyon, where she managed to lose her birth control prescription. Along with other things. So... we get to make a flight across the Ocean, and then you get to play with a new toy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oooh. Gotcha. What's the toy?" She didn't give a rat's ass about his old lovers. Mostly she was interested in the new fun that was going to be had. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She blinked, then nodded. "After breakfast? That way we can get it done, get your friend's stuff, and head over to tell her the news in person." Well, that was easy. Why do people freak out about this stuff? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She smiled and canted her head up, meeting Pulse's eye. "And I love you, Pulse. Somehow I know that you're the only man who can ever put up with me the way a husband has to." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
