Back in Town (Roxie)

(Occurs after this thread.)

 

Joe checked the building twice over before he pulled his bike into the garage and closed the door. The last couple of days had really taken a toll on his sanity. He was holding up well but being back home was good. He went to the fridge and pulled out a few things for making a sandwich because he hadn't eaten much while he and Sammy were on the way to Leavenworth. Now that he was back, he could relax and get his head in order before he went off after Jason Landon or before Landon came after him.
 

He also had to talk to Roxanne about things and that reminded him to be quiet in case she was sleeping. He sat down at the counter in the kitchen and dug into his sandwich, relishing having real food again.

His mind wandered to the idea of Roxanne sleeping and thinking she probably looked like an angel. Was she a morning person? Probably not.

Finishing his sandwich and finding himself with a bit extra energy, Joe went to his room and changed into some sweats and a t-shirt with running shoes. If nothing else, he might at least get a work-out in.

He dropped to the floor and began the first five-hundred push-ups.

"God, this is messed up," Topher mused to himself as he sat under his favourite tree early one afternoon, perusing casefiles of old X-Men adventures.

Currently, he was reading up on the one where his dad had an affair with his uncle Scott's ex-wife, Madelyne Pryor. It was...mind-boggling. He furrowed his brow and switched to the next screen, choosing instead to read about his grandfather's adventures as a Starjammer.

Well, he was about to start reading when his phone started ringing. Curious, Topher pulled it out of his pocket and grinned when he saw Jeremiah's name, number, and photo on the screen.

"Thank god you called," Topher said, answering immediately. "I was reading up on family history. I have to remember that if I'm ever going to do that again, I need an industrial-sized vat of brain bleach with me." Pause. "But enough about that. What's up?"
