It's Prior's birthday, and Scotty brings him a present... a really good one, actually, though after what happened the month before, it's the kind that comes with a lot of baggage.

The damn cat had been gone for two weeks. Prior hadn't seen her since she'd taken off like a flash toward Jack that day after the day after Valentine's Day, right before Prior had broken down on him and ended up crying like a little girl. No, he hadn't seen Little Sheba since then. And he hadn't seen Scotty either. Not really. In passing, ( Read more... )

Lionel stood at the window of the padded cell for a long time, watching his only son struggle in his own mind, his hands in his pockets. He stared at Lex's blank look and idly moving lips, unable to look away if only so the doctors and nurses around him wouldn't see the emotion in his eyes. A Luthor didn't show emotion to those undeserving, it was ( Read more... )

For every story Jack had of adventure, for every tale of charm or daring or mischief, there were a hundred thousand stories that weren't worth telling at all. They were mundane. He never talked about how he could strip and reassemble a gun, or the training it had taken to do such a thing as quickly as possible. He didn't talk about how he could now ( Read more... )

While Scotty still really misses the Christmas decorations, he thinks Bohemia doesn’t look half bad full of birthday decorations, either. Clearly their little neighborhood was just meant to look festive, and considering the residents, that makes an awful lot of sense. Prior and Maureen’s decorating skills are, as usual, impressive, and Scotty’s ( Read more... )

Apparently something bad happened and someone died recently. I don't really know the whole story and I don't go asking around - there's some things I try not to think about. It's enough to make me feel uneasy again, though, in the same way I used to feel uneasy going into newer places in my game because of the monsters I might face. It's a little ( Read more... )

If you had been upstairs in the Compound or in the Hub at six in the evening of December 31, you might have thought your eyes were playing tricks on you, or that you'd once again been whisked off to some strange, new place. Within the blink of an eye, the rooms had changed, sparkling instantly with festive decorations, and it was all so ( Read more... )

After months of being avoided post Mark's disappearance, Prior finally forces Roger to talk to him (after going through his roommate/bodyguard). It doesn't exactly go well.

Reluctant to go home, Prior goes to see Scotty, who tries to make him feel better. It kind of works ( Read more... )

Seven cats and two dogs was too much for one snowed in house. When they could all be outside most of the time, Jack had no problem with it, but with them all inside, it was driving him crazy. Dulcita's litter was old enough now to leave their mother. He'd already promised to give a couple away, but that still left him with more kittens than he ( Read more... )
