Around Atton's New York, All Day Tuesday

[suitably_heroic]

So, Cade was still here. And... damned lucky that Dane had the patience of a saint (or at least a guy with crappy coping methods and a history of poor boundary-setting), or he probably would've been out on his ass by now. Hell, Jack had thought about throwing him out on his ass a few times now. The crossing the streams was just kind of weird.

And Cade could be kind of a jackass.

(But he'd also missed the guy and having him here was a good reminder of their misspent youth and space he really was getting old, wasn't he?)

Anyway.

It was show day. And Jack-slash-Atton hadn't slept a wink last night, so he'd just be on the floor of the living room, where he'd been for the last couple of hours. Ugh.

Trent's eyebrows shot up.

"Then explain this," he said, whipping out his phone to display--

A wide range of fuzzy pictures of objects flashing past in the sky, all over town.

Jack waved at the server again.

"He'll have another whiskey and coke," Dane said dutifully.

"Not me," Cade said airily. "I came by portal."

"Just like Jack insists he did," Trent said, narrowing his eyes.

"Okay, enough interrogation," Dane said, holding up both hands. "We should order some food. And more drinks. What's your poison this time, Cade?"

"My spaceship is too good to be beheld on this backwater planet," Cade said. "And I'll have whiskey."

"Is it invisible?" Trent asked. "Do you perform experiments?"

Jack shoved the next whiskey and coke at him, too.

Re: Afternoon

"Why?" Cade asked. "Are you asking to get probed?"

"You're not my type and you're dodging the question," Trent told him.

The server came back with their drinks. This time, Jack grabbed the glass of water and downed that.

"Again, let's not interrogate the new hot guy," Jill sighed. "You from anywhere near where... whatever planet Jack is from?"

Re: Afternoon

"No one's from where he's from," Cade said with a little grin. "I'm from a different part of the galaxy, but still human."

Re: Afternoon

"Billions of beings are from where I'm from," Jack said, rolling his eyes. "They're just not here."

He immediately waved for a refill on his water.
