Well, Talia didn't forget. Really. My muse forgot, but I didn't, so here goes.
"Okay, are you two set?" I asked Cal and Marie. They were in the Danger Room control booth. Cal flashed the thumbs up and they ducked down to wait.
"And you're sure about doing this Mik?" I asked. He was standing with me in the Danger Room.
"Of course I am. Now go call Brittany before you die of worry." He said. "I'll be fine, okay?"
"If you say so..." I said, "But I could-"
"Go." he replied sternly. I went, satisfied that everyone would do their jobs.
***************************************
I dialed Brittany's number carefully. Dad said he would fit the bill because this was important after all.
"Hello?" I asked when the phone was picked up.
Brittany's dad answered. His voice was slurred by what must have been alcohol, and most probably was whiskey. "Who is it?"
"Talia Wagner. I'm looking for Brittany." I replied.
"She's not here. Don't call again." He said.
"Are you alright Sir?" I asked. Formality was not my strong suit, but I was capable when I needed to be.
"I'm fine, so is Brittany, now leave me alone." He replied hanging up with a loud click.
****************************************
"Dad, I think Brittany's in trouble." I said after I had found him. He was playing chess with Logan.
"Why. What happened?" He asked.
"Her father's slashed out of his mind and won't talk to anyone." I replied.
"What?! Talia, are you serious?" he asked.
"Yes. He answered the phone and told me Brittany wasn't home and he was so slurred I could barely understand him.
"Talia, how much of your team can you get to come?" Dad asked.
"Two." I replied. "Tom and Chris are being punished and we need someone to make sure they don't get themselves killed.
"Rogue can do that. Get the rest and come with me." he replied.
"And what do you think you're going to do Elf?" Logan asked.
"Fly the plane." He replied.
"I mean against the living flag over there."
"Good point." he replied. He took a second to think "Well, someone has to go."
"I will Elf. Their going to need the help."
Neep! Finally every one is on the same page! *claps* Yay!
