NYC, Sunday Evening

[psychic_wonder]

Sam hadn't been lying when he'd told Peter that his potential apartment wouldn't be too hard to protect, and once the place was officially Peter's, Sam hadn't wasted a lot of time in getting things ready. Still, putting down salt and sigils in an entire apartment took some time, so Sam had sent Peter to get dinner and dessert while he worked. By

Angela naturally knew where Peter's apartment was. She also had a way of knowing when Peter wouldn't be there. So it wasn't a coincidence when she showed up while Sam was alone.

It was sheer luck that she showed up after Sam finished his work.

"Hello, Samuel," Angela said, after she let herself in.

Sam jumped at the sound of Angela's voice, and zipped his bag up quickly, hoping that everything was inside. "Hi," he said, putting on a smile. "Sorry, I wasn't expecting you."

"Peter isn't here?" Angela asked, glancing around to see for herself.

"No, he's out getting dinner," Sam said. "He shouldn't be gone for too much longer, if you want to wait."

Peter came back after Angela had left. He'd picked up Italian food and pastries so he and Sam could celebrate their first official dinner in Peter's apartment in style.

He hadn't known about Angela's visit, so he didn't expect anything unusual when he got back. "Hey. Everything safe?"

Sam glanced up when he heard Peter came in, and although he'd denied it to himself before, he couldn't help but wonder if Angela's visit had anything to do with something Peter had said to her. "Yeah, you're all set on the protection front," he said.

"My hero," Peter said, moving to give Sam a kiss on the cheek. He paused when he saw the envelope Sam was holding. "What's that?"

"Something you need to give back to your mother," Sam said, offering the envelope to Peter. "She came by and left it here and I don't think she's going to take it back from me."
