MHA #8, Saturday morning

Aside from getting a bucket of ice water dumped on him at prom, the night had gone well for Stark. Honestly the ice had only led to a hasty retreat to the apartment building to remove wet clothing so frell you, Anakin. Three nights in a row had gone very well indeed for Stark.

Eventually he'd fallen asleep, though not before tossing water on a pair of amorous and very noisy raccoons on the balcony because he had to admit the water was a good way to momentarily redirect energy.

Between the pollen, finally finding some outlets for the affects of the pollen, and having been away from the island for so long before last summer, Stark had forgotten that mysterious children tended to appear after prom. Waking up with his head clear after a week of it being very much not hadn't led to remembering. Waking up with his head clear had just led to a few moments of mild panic wondering what the repercussions of the past 3 nights might be.

But there wasn't going to be time for Stark to get thoroughly awkward just yet. After showering he was making his way to the kitchen when he stopped. Who could possibly be knocking on his door this early? And why did it sound like someone was giggling in the hallway?


[Ooooopen, for some impossible children, any neighbors that might stop by as a result of impossible children, or one neighbor who could have stayed the night if she wanted but I'm not going to presume]

"Mom, we should find food," Lucia agreed, looking up at her plaintively. "And then we can find a heist to do!"

Though again, the option for this to become a heist was on the table, everyone. Lucia was super down.

"Papa can make food," Ziya volunteered. "Or maybe he has cupcakes!"

"Haven't got any cupcakes," Stark said.

Both his children gave him very offended looks at that but he'd been a bit preoccupied the past few days and avoiding the bakery on purpose.

"Been a bit busy to get cupcakes, I bet," Faye supplied, smiling over at Stark like a person who just wanted to make children ask uncomfortable questions, apparently. "But Lucia, you know what, I bet we can combine those plans."

That's right, Faye was gonna take her six year-old out for some light food-related theft.

Stark was not going to respond to that, Faye, except by looking intently at the floor for a moment.

"Are you gonna bring back cupcakes?" Réaltín asked innocently.

"Yes," Lucia decided at precisely the same moment her mother said a firm, "Nope."

Faye sighed, looking down at Lucia, who was gazing up at her with The Saddest Eyes Ever. "Don't look at me like that. I invented that look. I gave you that face." But it was still working, and she added, "But fine, yes, we'll bring you cupcakes later."

Both children beamed at Faye (but not in a glowy way, at the moment) after that promise.

"Thank you!"
