Author's Note: So just thought I'd take a break from the Avengers for a bit. By the way for anyone who read Loki's Pain, the sequel is called Loki's Resentment. Or if you haven't read it yet, then read it. No pressure though.
Glitch sighed as he rolled over. No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't get to sleep. 'The bed is too soft.' he concluded. He knew that once, he had slept on this very bed years earlier, but he had been a different person then. Ambrose. Now he was Glitch.
He sat up, swinging his legs over the side of the bed. "I'll just go get a snack or something." he told himself. Taking his time, hoping that perhaps there would be someone else awake that he might be able to talk to, he made his way to the kitchen. To his surprise, he found Cain already there, idly munching on a fairly large bowl of grapes.
"Hello Wyatt." he said. The Tin Man turned, a grape halfway to his mouth. "Hey headcase." he said. Glitch frowned at the greeting. Sure he knew he was a headcase, but...well that didn't mean he wanted to be reminded of how he became that way every time someone greeted him.
"So, I guess you couldn't sleep either?" he asked. Glitch shrugged. "The bed is too soft." he said simply. The corner of Cain's mouth twitched, the closest Glitch had ever seen him come to actually smiling.
"Same here." he replied, popping another grape into his mouth. He watched as the other went to the pantry, looking around in it. Cain tried as hard as he could as Glitch pulled out a sack of apples. Sometimes Glitch could be downright amusing doing te simplest things.
Glitch picked out an apple, put the rest back and then bit into his favorite fruit. "You remember when we had to jump off that waterfall?" he asked. Cain nodded. "And when we were attacked at that castle and after you were down I dragged you to safety?" he said. Cain looked at him.
"No. I don't remember that." he said, frowning. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember what had happened after Zero had shot him in Finaqua.
"You don't?" Glitch asked, eyes wide in an impossibly innocent expression. "No, not really. I was unconscious. Remember?" he asked. Glitch nodded. "Oh, right."
Just then DG walked in. "Hey. What are you two doing up so early?" she asked. "Early? Last I checked it was still the middle of the night." Cain said. "Well apparently you haven't been paying attention. It's like 6 am. How long have you been in here anyway?" she asked. "Midnight." Cain answered.
DG turned to Glitch expectantly. "Uh...I guess two." he said. She shook her head. "You two have been in here all this tim?" she asked. They nodded. "What have you two been talking about?" she asked. "We were reminiscing." Glitch said, tossing the apple core.
"About what?" she asked. "Our adventures. You know." DG grinned. "You know, that was fun wasn't it?" she said. "Not when I got hit in the head with a wrench." Glitch grumbled.
