And he had no idea what to think. He was finding that he wanted to welcome Erica and gather her in to him in big hugs, but he also did not want to weird her out. He was far younger than he should be for her.

He felt weirded out and a little worried by his wonderful lady's disappearance and he wished Anya was here, but he had faith she would return. For now, he was cooking and hoping that Erica liked how he cooked. And what he cooked, for there was a lot of it.

"I'll be fine, Dad. He's just a really nice guy." She wasn't really planning on disappearing any day now, but in the back of her mind she knew it was possible. Maybe that was part of the fun. It was like a summer fling.

She tilted her head when he explained. "Oh... Do you.. want to keep me here?" In as much as she hadn't been planning to go, she hadn't really been planning to stay, either. She'd been through enough crazy vortex stuff that she knew to just lay back and enjoy the ride. She hadn't considered the implications of staying. All her friends wouldn't be born for a few years. And school would be different.

	"No... but once you are born, I want you to be able to be safe, no matter when you are. This would not stop you from changing times, but prevent time from hurting you." he looked down. "I may not be able to stop you from being toyed with by this world, but I can do my best to protect you from physics." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Erica smiled. "That makes sense, I guess." She didn't really understand half the things her dad made to protect her. "I've kind of gotten used to it. All the crazy stuff this world does." She took a bite of her food. "This is good," she said, her mouth half-full. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He nodded and started eating, thinking about her and hoping for a future as bright as she indicated. "How are you liking your visit to this time?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I like it a lot so far," she said, nibbling at her food. "Just a shame it couldn't have happened during the summer!" She grinned. Like her mom, she really enjoyed the warm weather. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He laughed. "I suppose it only natural you like the weather like she does." He shook his head. "She never has talen to winter like I do." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She giggled. "You're probably still hiding a layer of fur to keep yourself warm." The way he said it, though, reminded her that he didn't really know her yet. "Hey, is there anything you wanna know?" She wasn't sure if there were time paradoxes to take into consideration or anything, but they hadn't exploded yet, so she thought it was okay.

	He snerked, and made a face at her, grinning a little. She was amusing and warm, and amazing, and he was half in love with this amazing daughter of his already. "I would love to know everything. And anything you want to tell me." His eyes sparkled. "I imagine there are some secrets young ladies would want to keep from their fathers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't really know what to say," Erica admitted. "I'm kinda boring. I just go to school, and stuff. I'm on the track team?" It was hard to introduce yourself to your own father. "What do you wanna know? Ask my questions. Or I'll just end up saying stupid things, like my favorite color is blue." She laughed. "I don't have any secrets." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"How old are you? What do you do for fun?" He smiled at her. "And did you get the Talk from one of us already?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notincestuous 2009-01-22 07:03 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm sixteen. And yeah, I've definitely had the Talk. We can skip that one. Um. I like rock climbing. And I like.. I don't know. I go to the mall with my friends. I don't know. Normal stuff. We go on drives sometimes. Me and you. I like those." She was nearly finished with her food. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He smiled, and laughed, listening in joy. She was an interesting child. "Perhaps sometime this week we can do so, if you like." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That'd be good," she said with a smile. The scenery would probably be a lot different now. She'd like to see it with her dad. "What else? Hm. Oh hey, did I tell you about my powers yet?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mccoysluck 2009-01-22 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Good." He bounced. He shook his head. "I have been studiously resisting the urge to pry. I was rather hoping you might specify." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She smiled. "You can pry about whatever you want, Dad. Told you. No secrets." At least, she kept that the best she could.

"I can do stuff with wireless signals." Much less eloquent than her teachers explained it, but her teachers weren't trying to finish quesedillas. Besides, her version made just as much sense as theirs, maybe more. "That's why I got a headache earlier. Stuff is a lot different now. Not as much encryption and just.. Less organized, I guess."

	He cocked his head, pondering. "Intriguing, I assume you have learned to defocus the signals? Would a signal blocker help you adapt?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, I've been doing this for a couple years now. I know how to control it, mostly. You made me one of those back when it started, but I don't need to wear it anymore." She smiled, putting down her fork on the now-empty plate. "Headache's gone. It just threw me for a loop at first." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He nodded. "Okay." He rose and took the plates to the sink, quickly washing them. "If you will join me briefly in my lab, to shut it down, we can go on that ride?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notincestuous 2009-01-23 03:13 pm UTC (link)
	Erica followed her dad to the sink, helping dry the plates. There weren't many dishes between the two of them, but she pitched in. "Sure," she said with a smile. "Usually we go when it's lighter outside, but we can go. Whatever." She shrugged and smiled. She didn't mind what they did as long as she was with her dad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He smiled at her as they finished, nervous, proud, happy.

"Good."

He smiled at her and led the way to the lab, where he turned everything to night status, and collected his keys. Then he led the way to the garage, and headed for a car covered by a shroud.

"I had intended to scrap this, but, perhaps tonight is a good night to run with it."

He pulled the shroud and revealed what looked like a cherry colored 67 Chevy in mint condition.

"Hop in."

He settled into the driver's seat, and punched several buttons on the dashboard, which, around the driver's side, had been extensively modified. The car started up utterly silently.

Erica's jaw dropped when he uncovered the car. "Dad!" She walked around to the passenger side, opening the door. "You can not scrap this car!" She climbed in, running her hand over the interior. "You can give it to me! This thing is shway!"

He was probably planning something even more technologically advanced, maybe something that the Chevy's chassis couldn't hold.. But she wasn't sure her dad understood how cool this car was. Sometimes parents weren't good at that.
