Now they get to clean up a little *shudders* Good luck you two.
The cabin is not real in DC either.
We find our way to the North side of the forest, marking our way as we go. At the Manor, we sneak some of Alfred's with us. Well, he let us; he sees everything. We make it back and getting working. "I'll pick up the papers and books."
"Okay, I got the kitchen," Lucy says, taking the broom and a box of wipes. I look at the titles of the books; they are all on botany or biology.
'You'd think Poison Ivy lived here,' I muse, collecting them into piles to throw later.
"We could use this place for homework. Of course we'll have to say before hand of where we'll be."
"Yeah at the park. And we could have lunch here. That way Mark can't barge in," I add.
"Drama practice."
"Candle lit dinners." She looks at me quizzically. I shrug. "I'm hungry." Lucy finishes the kitchen to the best of her ability and the tools she had and begins to sweep the wood where the books had once occupied. "How was it in there?" I ask, referring to the kitchen.
"Who ever lived here loved their spaghetti," she comments. I move the bookshelf to reach behind it. When I dust it, I discover it is brown, not the thick coat of gray.
"The books had plants in it. Weird combination."
"For someone that wanted to live in a forest away from people, in a city full of people? They would have to be crazy."
"We are going to need a trash bin. All the books are mold filled or useless."
"The food is also about five or six years old. Forget the bin, we need a dumpster," she corrects.
"That's disgusting," I say, moving the bookshelf back. "Speaking of disgusting, should I tackle the bathroom, or would you rather do the honors?"
"Go right ahead, Jason. I'll pick up here."
The kitchen and the living room were as clean as we could make them when we left, along with the bathroom. We get back to the Manor right as dusk was falling. "Yes Ms. Nautcherdux, she's here. Yes… I see it is dark out. She can stay the night… Thank you for understanding." Bruce hangs up the phone. "Lucy can stay."
"I'll show her to her room," I offer.
"Be back down after," Bruce says. We start up the stairs. I lead her to a guest room.
"Mine is across the hall," I tell her. She goes to the window.
"Do you think there's a bedroom in the place?" She asks randomly.
"Sure, probably on the second level," I say. We both stand at the window, my arm around her waist. "Can we bring food tomorrow? Like a picnic?" She looks up at me. "I'm still hungry." She chuckles and kisses my cheek.
"Sure."
"Good night."
"'Night." I leave and go downstairs. Bruce needs me.
They have the cabin now. Just a quick excerpt at that. They do finish that up. But I want to continue with their relationship. But, the next one is a short, special day for a certain, special person in Jason's life...
