Review Responses (THANK YOU for taking the time too):

Bright Night Life:

elijahhedgemond: Fair enough, it's my weakest subject especially back in the high school days. Thank you, that's a relief off the shoulders. You as well stay claw-some. Thanks for the Favorite/Follow here. Speaking of that, 14 Days of Valentine but still I'd appreciate a review for the one-shot.

BearfootTruck: Yes, I know I'm on a crazy fanfic roll. Ideas/concepts pop in and won't shut up. So many unfinished yet soon or later I get to them. *Nervous Giggles* Huh never that of her power like that, makes it definitely much cooler. Thanks for the Favorite/Follow here.

shezow fan: Agree completely, she and the her crew need more fandom love. Great thanks for the praise. Yes, I've read up quite a bit about that. Discovered that after reading the little Richie/Nina fanfics here. Thanks for the heads up more, but fanfiction is that fanfiction.

Happiness in Small Things:

Luna Fabula: Why thank you Luna. Very lovely of you to say. It's not my only 'Shadow is Silver's father's fanfic. Early Start for the Family is another one-shot of that concept. I do plan on more.


Maureen smiles joyously in child-like wonder. Behind her Virgil and Richie watch in silent amusement. Getting away from the HUGE train station, into more of this memorizing city. It's lights, delicious food smells, the happy people going about their day and more importantly no one looking at her oddly.

She suddenly at that thought she stops mid-step, turning slightly to her right. A bit of bite in her voice now. Bright purple eyes stare down Richie. Virgil looks to his best friend with his hands in the air, mockingly 'Your're in trouble, I can't you.' Richie's dark blue eyes meet her bright purple ones. A sheepish grin on his white face doesn't stop her intense stare.

"Don't forget to call her genius."

Her beautiful white hair sways over her shoulders. The smirk they can feel as she continues her walk. Richie looks to Virgil. Now he too smirks at Maureen's mocking.

"You heard her brain boy. Call that wife of yours, or risk her icy fury."

Virgil's laughter despite mocking has Richie smile. Catching up with two after a good minute.

"Hey! I'm not that forgetful. Besides Nina kill me herself if I didn't. Frosty you wouldn't have too."

"I know. It's fun, threatening you on her behalf."


GRAND PARIS HOTEL. . .

Richie talking through one of his many greatly made commutators. Virgil taking a soak in a bubble bath and Maureen just relaxing, munching some chips.

"Alright, love you too. Make sure Nightingale and the others don't work to hard. Yeah, we're fine."

Richie hangs up with a blush on his face. Running his left hand in his shaggy blond hair. Maureen glances up from her TV watching, before she can open her mouth. Richie's glare and pointer finger stop her clean.

"Not a word."

Her giggles as she falls to her backside on the bed make him roll his dark blue eyes fondly. Virgil stretches his muscular arms up, as his smiles truly relaxed. Only in a lower towel, Maureen and him lock eyes. He quite unmanly yelps, glaring at her.

"Maureen! You said you'd be out!"

"Yeah, that was until I saw the mini fridge."

She counters easily, Virgil groans annoyed. Richie's smirk at their display is short lived by a loud building rocking explosion.

"Relaxing time is over."

"Not your best idea chicken legs."

All look down to see Virgil's towel had dropped. Maureen's eyes covered by her hands, still she smiles at her brothers in arms.
