“C’mon, Lea,” Leo called to his daemon as he entered the carriage “Asriel needs us to go visit Lyra at Jordan.”

The wolf manifestation of the artista’s soul clambered in behind him and Leo shut the door as they headed off. It wasn't that long or that far to get to Jordan from where Leonardo was staying but Asriel always insisted that he take the carriage given his wound. Looking down at his side where the gash had been from their time in the North, Leo flinched at his memory. It had been a hard time.

Before he knew it, the carriage screeched to a halt outside the old college. Leauna hopped out first and looked around in case there was any suspicious activity going on. They both knew well that Mrs Coulter had been after Lyra for years and would stop at nothing to get her. But nodding softly, she indicated to her human half that it was fine for him to get out.

“Good girl,” he smiled “now, would you tell Lyra that I’m here, please?” he directed his intent to one of the scholars before Leauna started growling “What is it, Lea? Who’s there?” he called out

2: Cheek Kiss

“I’m jus’ saying,” Tony said, canting his drink in Bucky’s direction. “People assume I gotta hate you, but come on, you haven’t done anything to make me not like you. I’m pretty sure we both crush on Steve, but, details.” He shrugged, looking remorseful.

He downed the rest of his canter and turned back to Bucky, giving him a loose grin. “You’re in my tower, which is also awesome.” He looked around, then saw Avanti and Lucinda. “And they are awesome. This alcohol is also awesome. Thanks for bringing it.” 

It was a beautiful night out. Alec found it so much easier to look at the sky in the park than anywhere else in the city. He could see all of the stars, glistening like diamonds thrown across a velvet sky. He sat back on the bench, pulling out a cigarette and was about to light up, but he, in his rush to get out, forgot his lighter.

The teenager looked around and spotted a stranger standing not too far from where he was sitting. "Hey, buddy," he called. "You got a light?"

He awoke with a snap, the biting cold hitting him hard in the face. He immediately did a physical assessment, because this was not the first time (nor would it be the last) that he'd awoken chained to the ceiling, and found that nothing was broken. His chest hurt something fierce, and blood was leaking sluggishly into his left eye, but it could have been worse. His armor was gone (he vaguely remembered the fight, doing the math and realizing he wouldn't be able to get away, and he evacuated the suit and sent it into the woods, the coordinates being yelled into his ears by the ever-loyal JARVIS, then there was cold and pain and then nothing). 

"Avanti?" he said before he became aware of anything else. "I'm here, Tony," she said a moment later, sounding tired but alright. At least she was close by. He squinted in the dark, looking at the shape and trying to jog his memory. 

Oh, that's right. 

"James..is that really you?"

Frowning down at the table, Howard was picking at a crack near the edge of the small dining room table he had shoved in the far corner of his kitchen. There was a mug of coffee in front of him but it had long since stopped sending up steam and he was glad he hadn't actually gotten around to adding cream to it because it would have just been wasted. Because all he'd done so far on his day off was sit and think.

Katherine was hiding some from him and the idea of that was almost enough to make it hard to comprehend. That wasn't a thought he'd ever had to try and wrap his brain around, even the months she was gone they'd spent nights telling each other what had happened to themselves while apart. But she was actively trying to keep something from him now.

She had slipped out early that morning, forgetting he thinks that he didn't work today. 

She was hiding something and it involved going somewhere, but- but he could find her. Find out.

Mind made up, he pushed back from the table with a scrape of the chair against the linoleum. Threw a jacket on before he was out of the apartment and out onto the street (his lesson learned in making sure he had his wallet and phone in his pockets). Took a deep breath and concentrated on their bond and started walking.

Followed it until he was standing across the street from a motel tucked into a corner somewhere, probably mostly forgotten but got enough patronage to stay in business. Bypassing the office, he followed his bond until he was standing in front of what he was pretty sure was the right door. Could hear low voices murmuring and one he was pretty sure was Katherine's, and as much as he wanted to surprise whoever was inside he was in full view of whoever wanted to see so he couldn't attempt to pick the look.
