Turtle & Canary; Monday [ 11/19 ]

Ah! The old homestead! Sure, T.R. had peeked into the business that sort of started it all on her journey toward her multi-billionaire status yesterday, but today would be different. Thanks to Victor having already been there and being significantly weirder, she didn't have any trouble at all convincing Apu to let her work a bit for fun.

And she was very impressed that he seemed to have maintained her same filing system after all these years.

Today's Squishy Flavors: Crow's Feet, Saddle Bags, Grape Judas

Turtle & Canary is open!

As you do, always and probably forever.

This place makes her feel young again. And marvel at how quaintly she had gotten her beginning.

Now this was more like it. Grape Judas galore with no insane guys in metal armor trying to blast him.

"Hello Grape Judas," Madrox said approaching the squishybot. "I've missed you so."

"Oh, sure," T.R. commented as she leaned against the counter with her own Squishy in hand. "Miss the Grape Judas but not the woman who bright him to you."

"Turtle!" Jamie shouted. "I didn't recognize you. Do you know that I can't get my hands on Grape Judas anywhere in my universe? It's truly a sad thing."

T.R. chuckled a little. It was a good thing, she figured, that he didn't, because that would mean she was still that scrawny little dork she'd been in high school. "I go by T.R. now, if you don't mind," she amended. "Only my family, my husband, and Murdock are allowed to call me that anymore. And that is truly disappointing. If I'd have known that sooner, I'd have tried getting it out a bit more, but, at the same time, considering what I went through to get it even here, I'm not at all surprised. It just wasn't meant to be, Madrox."

"I can't call you Turtle?" Jamie asked looking disappointed. "But that's all I ever called you. If I called you T.R. it would just be the wrong name altogether and that's just wrong."

Then he shrugged and picked up his squishy.

"So what have you been up to other than having a happy family, T.R.?"

Yes, he just just contradicted himself. Shh.

When a contradiction worked out in her favor, T.R. never pointed it out. She just grinned a little. "What haven't I been up to would be a better question. I've been busy. But I've been damn successful, you'd better believe it. How about you?"

"Oh you know. Just about everything," Madrox said with a smirk. "Duplicate-wise of course. Mostly I run a P.I. firm with most of my old team and help save the world upon occasion."

"Everyone's doing that," T.R. said, shaking her head with a wave of her hand, "that whole 'saving the world thing.' Wonder how I missed on that whole trend."

"Well I'm sure you do it in your own way," Jamie replied. "All that big bucks you're making? I'm sure there's a ton of employees who are gainfully employed because of it. Plus I'm sure you have a charity you sponsor. Right?"

"Several," T.R. said with a slow nod. "So, there is that. Champion for capitalism, that's me."

Jamie grinned. "See? Some people save the world by fighting evil mutants others provide a stable economy. It's all good!"

Sora found the store easily, just as he thought he might.

The young at heart man, smiled brightly seeing Turtle there. It just seemed right. "Hi boss!" He joked.

One look at the hair and a quick process of elimination had T.R. smirking. "Sora," she said with a nod of greeting. "How you doing?"

"Good, saving the world on a daily basis. You?" He joked.

"Nothing quite as impressive," T.R. admitted, though with a smirk. "Just, you know, being the world's youngest multi-billionaire."

"That's pretty impressive!" Sora smiled brightly. "You have a chain of stores now?"

T.R. shook her head slightly. "Used to. Sold them a while ago so I could focus on getting my law degree."

"That's awesome! Congrats!" Sora beamed. "So you're a big scary lawyer now?"

"Oh, yeah," T.R. chuckled a little. "Terrifying. No one wants to go up against T.R. Wexler in a court room, you'd better believe it."

After the thing in the park, Billy decided to stop into Turtle and Canary, and boggle that it still had the same name. "Would that be a certain stocks guru to whom I owe much of my financial security?"

"I can only imagine so," T.R. responded. "While I can only assume that you're Billy, or else someone else has had a horrible accident."

Bill laughed. "I am indeed, although only folks from Fandom still call me Billy. These days it's mostly Bill, William, or, if you're one of my kids, Dad."

"One of? How many've you got?"

"I've got three. Two girls and one boy. And two of those I had advance warning of, as once upon a time they showed up here before they were born. How about you? Any mini-yous running around?"

"God, no," T.R. snorted. "Too busy, and there's a good chance that my husband might be a carrier to the disability that his brother has, so...I just live vicariously through my niece. She's like a minion, and, at the end of the day, it's Angela who has to deal with her, not me."

"Wow that's just how my sister's like with my kids." he laughed.

Awww, this plot helped save today's T&C from potentially making me cry. So yay.

Gone from 2 pm to 10;30 pm EST for work; God I want this week to just be over and it's just starting. x_x
