Marcus stumbled blearily down the stairs. He'd been sleeping in one of the guest bedrooms in an unfamiliar house, and it was throwing his sense of things off. Not to mention the fact that he was hung over. How much had he drunk the night before? Obviously a lot, but. . . he just couldn't remember.

The smell of coffee drew him to the kitchen, and he staggered in, forgetting for a moment that the young man who was brewing it was his father. "Mornin'," he mumbled, pouring a large mug of coffee,

	"Finally woken up, eh? Nice to see you can still move." His voice was just louder than normal. Not shouting or anything like that, and as Alex rested against one of the counters, he wore an amused smile. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Owww." He noted. "Less volume, please thanks." There was a rather large wince on his face as he took his first drink of coffee. "And I didn't get super drunk or anything." There was no sense in asking how they'd heard him come in. Sneakiness was Angela's thing. He was too tall and gangly to be really quiet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alex's voice shifted, just slightly, and did not lessen in volume. "Oh? Hmmm, how are you feeling this morning?" Alex's smile was innocent, concerned! Really! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You're not very nice." He mumbled, pondering the inherent merit of going back to his bed and sleeping for the rest of the morning.

He was almost on his way there when a long, loud scream shot through the kitchen, followed by a baby in blue footie pajamas. Marius winced and picked his younger self up. "Shhhhh."

It worked, for a second. And then there was more yelling.

	"Nice? Me? Nah, if I wasn't nice, I'd make you run around the block, get some fresh air, and see how you felt after that." He sipped his coffee, then eyed his son's technique. "Careful of his head, and watch how you hold the body there... good. Like that. Not bad. You're hired." He grinned and turned to get a refill. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I wonder if it would create a paradox if I killed him?" Marcus asked no one in particular, while his younger self flailed in his arms.

Meanwhile, a tousled blonde head peered around the corner and giggled, waving a toy train before running off. The younger Marcus flailed and screamed more, and the older one set him down.

As fast as he'd come in, he left, chasing his sister. Several minutes later there was a more adult voice, also loud, from the next room, and then silence.

"Owww. I think my head's gonna explode."

	Alex snerked. "Time travel sucks... paradoxes are bad." Alex watched them go. "Your mom is good at soothing headaches. You should talk to her." This was said with a barely concealed smirk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marius looked at his father in horror. "Oh, gross!" His mind had gone a very different and wrong place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alex eyed him. "I don't want to know what you are thinking. She is a telekinetic, oh spawn of mine. She can stop your head from hurting." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeeeaaaah. I'm not so sure mom will have mercy on me." Knowing her, she'd pat his head and tell him to drink more water next time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Your mother is very good at mercy." He chuckled at that. "Whether or not you'd like her idea od mercy, well, that depends." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He shrugged. "Honestly, it's the first time I've gotten drunk around you guys. I have no idea what she'll do." The prospect was a little scary. "And could you please not talk so loud? I get the point, I fucked up." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	laststarfighter 2008-06-15 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	Alex grinned. "I suppose so. The extra strength headache medicine is in the cabinet behind you, but water will help the most. Orange juice, too." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He nodded. "Thanks. Sorry I was so late last night. You guys weren't worried, were you?" In his time, his parents accepted that he was an adult and mature for his calendar age, due to the time travel, but the people he was with now weren't the parents he knew. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Worried? A little. We believe you can handle yourself, but it is our place to worry. Besides, we still don't know your capabilities, weaknesses, all of that. You know us, but not vice versa. It will take some time." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	boyanachronism 2008-06-16 01:32 am UTC (link)
	"Sorry. I didn't mean to make you guys worry. I forgot about the time difference, and didn't think it was a good idea to portkey drunk." He ran a hand through his hair as he took some pills. "Next time I'll call. What's your cell phone number, anyway?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	laststarfighter 2008-06-16 01:58 am UTC (link)
	"Thank you." He rattled of the number and checked his to make sure it was there and on, and nodded. "You can call anytime, day or night." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yessir." He said with a goofy smile as he keyed it into his own cell phone. "I'll text you from mine, since the screen's tiny and backlit and evil." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He nodded. "Okay..." He eyed his phone. "Why dont you get a better one?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's fine! I just. . . light is bad." He sent it without looking, and finished his coffee, fishing a bottle of water out of the fridge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ah, yes. Perhaps it might be best if we got you new glasses... some of the replacements have brought some new tech in. We could get something to help deal with that..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Huh? No. My eyes are fine. I wear glasses with dummy lenses sometimes to make myself look smarter, but I've got better than average vision." He shrugged. "Remember the evil hangover of doom?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, okay." He chuckled. "I remember. Want some real food? Some messy eggs, some crispy bacon, or some sizzling hashbrowns?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ugh." Marius noted. "Toast?" Toast sounded about his speed. "I think I want to go back in time and assassinate Captain Morgan." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	laststarfighter 2008-06-16 07:06 am UTC (link)
	"Wont work. You've already drunk his creation. Somehow, somewhere, there would still be Captain Morgan liquor." He grinned. "Time travel is annoying." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You know, you don't tease Mom when she gets a hangover." But it was a halfhearted grumble. He popped some bread in the toaster and sat at the table, his head on his arms. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	laststarfighter 2008-06-16 07:18 am UTC (link)
	"Sure I do. Teasing your mom when she gets a hangover, rare as that is, is a rare joy of mine, made more so by the immediate thereafter dodging of halfheartedly thrown missiles." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Which is undenyable proof that he has no survival instinct." Belle stepped into the room, petting older Marcus on the head. "Awww, poor thing. At least you're not going to be joining me in my morning routine. This time." Her meaning was clear. Next time he wouldn't be so lucky. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marcus groaned softly. "I hate mornings." He never lifted his head from the table, even as the babies streaked through the kitchen again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	laststarfighter 2008-06-16 07:36 am UTC (link)
	Alex chuckled. "I'll catch them this time. Cheer up sport. It could be worse. See you later." he kissed Belle and then hurried after their spawn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	petitmort 2008-06-16 07:44 am UTC (link)
	Belle laughed and patted Marcus's head again. "Go back to bed. Don't need you moping around all morning. But set your alarm clock. We need you in a couple hours. Marcus did as he was told, grabbing his toast on the way up the stairs. Belle padded over to the coffee pot and sighed. Empty again. We need to put coffee on the grocery list. (Reply to this) (Parent)
