Checking in.

[mythreemothers]

Her father's annual visit had actually be pretty recent, but that didn't stop the need to check up on everyone. Amiko put down her paperwork on her fledgling team long enough to call Misha.

"So what do you think of the Mets' chances in the coming season?"

"Any chance I can get some combat time with the second greatest?" Because adding to his store of muscle memory was always a priority. The /greatest/ had been added, and the wound had healed within an hour. "I need all I can get with Takeshi still breathing."

[mythreemothers]

"Next time you can make it over here, I can definitely arrange it."

[brother_bear]

"I'll sneak in and out. Emmy and boys won't forgive me, and Rose will try to strangle me with my own intestines, but I'll manage it."

[mythreemothers]

Amiko laughs. "Rose'll only do that because you didn't bring her. But certainly. You two can have a good workout and I'll break out my stash of German beer."

[brother_bear]

"Rose wants to visit so bad she's willing to put on Hana's suit and fly at Mach 8 to get there."

[mythreemothers]

Another laugh. It was nice to, really. "Oh, I'm sure. How soon do you think you can steal away?"

[brother_bear]

As long as she laughed, it was all right. He liked to hear Amiko laugh. It meant that whatever the reason she was calling, she was getting something she needed from it.

"I can get away by the end of the week. I may not be alone."

[mythreemothers]

"It'll be good to see you. Don't break any rules, of course. Laws, okay, if you really need to, but not rules."

[brother_bear]

"Yes ma'am. No Rules of Logan Spawn will be broken in the execution of this plot."

[mythreemothers]

"Good." Sure, she was a senior law enforcement official and all, but sometimes being a big sister came first.

[brother_bear]

"Especially since I'll be arriving without the aid of a passport."

[mythreemothers]

"Darn right you will. Have to minimize the warning flags flying up gods-know where."

[brother_bear]

"Heh, yeah. Stark just finished some upgrades on my stealth suit. I could sneak into your office without you knowing I'm there, it's that good. Not that I would," he hastened to assure her. Because that? Would not only be bad, it would be putting a sizable dent into Amiko's security.

[mythreemothers]

"Yes. Thank you. Once you can give me an ETA, I'd just suit up -- in my paltry, state-of-the-art government issue suit -- and wait for you somewhere conspicuous, so we can land somewhere inconspicuous."

[brother_bear]

"Yes ma'am," he said again. Because he liked to remind her that she was the big sister. "I'm serious about those signed action figures. I need a set, and the boys each need a set, and Emily. Probably David. And Hana's little brother."

[mythreemothers]

"You'll all be among the first to get them. My word as a daimyo." Sure, one didn't give such things lightly, but sometimes, being less stern about it didn't have to be a problem.

[brother_bear]

"Yes, Lady." Another smile, because it was such a cool thing to have a sister who was lord of her clan.

"I'll start Hana planning a family holiday in Hawaii and have her coordinate the dates for us. Unless New York goes to Hell, our schedule is pretty open. Yours will be the deciding vote."

[mythreemothers]

A lord whose idea of aristocratic excess was Swallows tickets, but being bad at the archaic stereotype didn't mean being bad at the job.

"Thanks, Misha. You're the best. Give everyone my love, and I'll see you here -- just not in my office -- in a few days."

[brother_bear]

"I will. We miss and love you. Take care of yourself, 'Miko. You're the only Amiko we have."

[mythreemothers]

"I'll remember that. You do the same. Goodbye, Misha."
