Prompt: Thor - "This is your prison. Your technology will not function here. There are no luxuries, no worshipers, no slaves to do your bidding." - 'Stargate SG:1'
"Burgers are done," Burt called out enthusiastically from the grill. He hadn't been able to wait longer to cook on the charcoal grill that was off to the side of the cabin. He had wanted to cook dinner after they arrived on it but Carole had insisted on cooking telling him that it would be best to let the kids ease into the idea of being out in the woods.
"Great! I'm starved," Finn said, excitedly as he got up from his spot under the tree he had sat down next to after coming back from exploring that morning. Though he had once again spent breakfast lamenting about not being able to talk to Rachel, he was at least making an effort to enjoy himself.
On the front porch of the cabin, Carole closed her book and got to her feet. Across the porch, Kurt made no effort to move from his spot as he continued to dab medicine onto the bug bites on his legs despite having sprayed himself with OFF again this morning.
"I didn't even venture from the cabin and I still got bit," Kurt complained.
Burt and Carole, having heard Kurt's complaints all morning, ignored him. Finn, putting two burger patties on his paper plate, spoke up.
"Then you can come canoeing on the lake with me this afternoon. You can't use the 'avoiding the bugs' excuse any more."
"Too much sun," Kurt replied, not looking at his stepbrother.
"So borrow one of my ball caps and wear sun screen," Finn countered, still happily preparing his lunch.
"A ball cap will ruin my hair."
"So. None of us care what your hair looks like, and we're the only ones out here with you."
"Don't remind me. It's like prison. No tv, no cell phone and no one that cares that I'm getting eaten alive by bugs!" Kurt shot back.
"No boyfriend to wait on you hand and foot," Finn quipped as he squirted ketchup onto his burger.
"Blaine does not wait on me hand and foot!" Kurt countered, miffed at his step brother who was happily grinning at the fact that he got under his stepbrother's skin
"And neither do I, so get over here and eat," Burt said, as he fixed his own plate. "Starving yourself isn't going to get you to civilization any sooner," he added.
With a sigh Kurt got to his feet and went to join his family for a lunch in the great outdoors.
"So, you're coming canoeing with me after we eat, right?" Finn said, determined to get Kurt to do something besides mope around the cabin despite his efforts to annoy his stepbrother.
Kurt, about to make another sarcastic remark, when he caught the look his father was giving which told the teen his father was losing patience with his attitude.
"Fine but if you capsize the canoe I'm not going to be happy," Kurt relented, grabbing a plate to prepare his lunch.
