JSA Brownstone, mid-morning

[hotshot1280.livejournal.com]

Trevor enters the kitchen with a bag in each hand and sits them on the counter, emptying an assortment of bagels and tubs of cream cheese onto an available plate. One immediately goes into the toaster, and Trevor moves down one appliance, pulling out the vacuum-sealed package of coffee he keeps in his glove compartment for such overnight occasions.

He's not sure how early Sand gets up normally, but given all that wholesomeness, he's pegged Sand as the "early to rise and meet the day" type. Trevor, by contrast, is the "it's not noon yet? Where's the nearest coffee pot?" type, and the kitchen is soon filled with the aroma of coffee. Most of the first pot goes into Trevor's over-sized coffee mug, and he puts more on to brew before taking a seat at the table with his breakfast and today's copy of the Daily Planet to wait for Sand.

"You really think so?" Trevor asks, swallowing a level of pride that usually passes for egotism. "I gotta admit, I'm good at making friends, but I've never been a team player before."

"That's because you've probably always felt like you didn't belong in a team. Hence the whole 'Outsiders' concept." Sand says. "Seriously, never discount the ability to relate to others. Your conversation with Zan was particulary well-handled, even if you need to catch up on Exorian cuisine."

Trevor laughs, taking a sip of his own coffee.

"What can I say? I've always been more 'three sugars' than 'two cayenne peppers' myself."

"Thanks for the confidence, by the way. A lot of it was the fact that I felt like such an ass for lashing out at Psimon and lighting Hank up like that."

"You fight with emotion, and that can be a great advantage, if properly controlled. To be fair, you haven't been in that many doomsday situations, and things like that come from experience. If I had a buck for every two-bit fascist that held a gun to my head to keep Wesley off their back, I'd have twice the money I do now."

"I'm hoping that this will give everyone an opportunity to grow and heal, especially with you, Corrine and Caleb. The Neron situation has had everyone on edge for months." He pauses. "It's had me concerned for awhile."

"I'd say you should have sent them a bill, but if they try to shoot superheroes, I doubt they worry too much about their credit rating."

Trevor grimaces, remembering that unpleasantness, and thinking of the weirdness since then. "Yeah. Corrine seems to be actually starting to deal with it, but Caleb still seems pretty messed up. Maybe the Outsiders can help."
