Cyber Wars: A Little Reunion

[batgirl]

Jade pulled up into the driveway on a nice sunny afternoon. She had gotten out of work early and had gone to run some errands and pick up Gabriel from kindergarten. She opened the back door and fiddled with the car seat before picking up her five year old son onto her shoulders. The black haired (where he got that color from nobody knows) boy squealed with glee as Jade ducked into the doorway. "We're home!" Monk picked his head up from the ground, "Jade! Thank god!" He struggled to get up, but his opponant had him pinned to the ground. "I can't move! She's... she's too strong!" Jade smiled and whispered something to Gabriel before putting him down. The boy laughed and did a running leap onto Monk to join his sister. "Gah!" Monk dropped his head on the ground, "This isn't fair! It's two on one!"
"I told you I could beat you daddy!" Jen cried out in victory.
"Oh... I'm not done yet!" Monk grinned as he wrapped either arm around a child and rolled himself over so that he was on his knees. Successful, he picked himself up and slung a child over either shoulder. "I may be getting old, but I still have a few tricks up my sleeve..."

"Old? I hardly consider our age old dear." She grabbed Jen from him and slung her over her shoulder. "Now what shall we do with these two?"

"Should we hold them captive and with hold supper from them?" Jen giggled, "as long as we get dessert I don't care."

"Now you know the rules here, no dessert unless you finish your plate... and if there is no plate to finish...?" Jen thought for a moment before pouting, "no fair daddy."

"Oh... completely fair. You tried to take over this house, and I won. Therefore, I get to make the rules... unless... your mother has something to say about it..."

"Yea mommy's the boss of you!" Jen said happily. Jade put her down slowly, "ok you two, go play upstairs for a while ok?"

"...sh... sh... she is not!" Monk called out as they charged up the stairs. "I'm not?" Jade said as she hugged her husband. "...n..n..nnnn... no?" Jade smirked before pressing her lips to his. "How about now?" Monk slumped a little, staring off into space. Jade laughed, "I win again I guess. How was your day?"

"All right. Nothing really happened." Monk shruged. "I need to look into a job or... somethin'. Something to make me feel halfway useful around here... I should go back to the acadamy and teach martial arts again... that was fun.”

"I agree, or maybe I can find you something in the CF branch here," Jade trailed off for a minute. "Hm... Cyberforce, huh?" Monk sighed, folding his arms over his chest and sighing, "I have to admit. I miss the old team. It just seems we all... you know... parted ways."

"I know what you mean. Did you know that it's been 10 years since we were all together last and defeated Mastermind?"

"Wha? It's been 10 years!?" He sighed again, "10 years... you're kidding right?" Jade shook her head. "I mean, we've talked briefly since then, but it's been that long since the team was together." Jade smiled at the laughter that emanated from the upstairs. "Look at what we've accomplished since then. Monk's smiled widened, "Ah... good times..."

"Monk!"

"What? They were..." Jade smirked again. "You know, we should get together with them." Monk raised his eyebrow, "Excuse me? The last time it looked like a girl was making a move on me, I thought that Jen and Gabe were only going to be a dream of mine..." Jade raised an eyebrow as well. "What are you talking about? I meant we should get together and see the old team again to catch up."

"... Oh... uh..." Monk chuckled nervously, "Yeah! Sounds like an idea! That's what I was thinking!" Jade gave Monk a weird look, "I think we should even invite the kids too. It would be nice to see how many Jason and Kaitlin have pumped out."

"That's... an interesting way of putting it..." He spun around and started to pace, "All right... so... how should we do this?"

"Well we'll need a place to meet, and we need to get in contact with everyone."

"Contact is easy... it's place. We could have it here... or we could rent somewhere..."

"I think we should rent somewhere. I don't know how deranged some people could have gotten."

"This is a true statement..." He stroked his chin, "Wait a sec! We could just set up a log-in room!" He spun around, snapping his fingers, "We'll give everyone a special... uh... number-thingie... to go... uh... there... and uh... that's the bottom line!"

"You mean you want to do it in the cyber world?"

"Why not? That way, all people would have to do is just jack in and POOF! there we are!" He grinned for a second, then lowered his shoulders, "Is... is that NOT a good idea?" Jade's eyes twinkled. "It's a great idea."

"It... it is?" Jade nodded, "you're getting the hang of this technology afterall."

"Kinda sorta, I guess. I DO want to make sure our kids are gonna be safe. That... and I have a LOT of free time around the house here." Jade giggled, "this is true, but you do make a perfect housewife."

"Aw... why tha... wait a minute..." Jade laughed out loud, "you really need a job."

"You need to... not be... so... mean... to me..."

"Aw," Jade wrapped her arms around him, "I'm sorry love."

“No you're not..."

"Yes I am."

"Really? I'll take your word for it then." He grinned, wrapping his arms around her. "So, shall we tear ourselves away from each other to go tear the kids apart?"

"I think we might have to..." His eyes shifted, directing Jade's attention to the stairs where two small heads were poking out through the railings.
"Is THIS where they kiss?" Gabriel asked.
"Shh!You'll blow our cover!" Jen put a finger to her mouth. Jade smirked, "you two are in trouble."

"Run!" Jen guided her little brother up the stairs. "I know where you two live!" Monk was the first to chase them. Jade chased after Monk, "my house!" A few hours later, a bunch of emails were sent out to the members of the old cyber force alpha team:

Dear _____,
We know it's been a while since we last talked let alone spoke with each other. We would like to cordially invite you and your family to come to the Cyber World Ritz Carleton Hotel for a reunion of sorts to commemorate the 10th anniversary of defeating Mastermind and to catch up. Please bring your children and significant others along with your good spirits.

Sincerely,

Jade, Monk, Jennifer and Gabriel LaFleur

OOC: Lookit! A Reunion special! I was talking with MC and Wolf and we decided it would be cool to get the group back together just to see what's been going on with everyone during the 10 years they were apart. Feel free to make families and such for your characters. This will not be a very long rp, just a kind of get together for us to have one last hurrah.
