When it came to emergency precautions to jump out of the Thanksgiving weekend at home she was guilted into this year, Summer figured just her portal gun wasn't going to cut it. So she lowered her spaceship carefully against the curb in front of the modest suburban home where she'd grown up, because there were already two other space ships crowding the driveway.

"Oh, good!" she remarked. "Space Mom's already here, too! Being the first to show up is so annoying."

She then gave a smile to her passenger, trying not to feel a certain sort of dread over the fact that she'd also been blackmailed (threatened, really, to have her reluctance to ever bring Stark home with her brought up in family therapy) to have him finally make an appearance.

"Think you're ready for this?"

It was okay if you said no, Stark! They could totally just leave now and claim there was a portal glitch and go to somewhere not lame instead!

Like Boob World! Or something...

[[ nfb for distance, obviously, and mostly from the beleaguered boyfriend, but also open for calls, texts, or also dropping by got whatever reason~ ]]

i've never been this happy my entire family is dead, Jack texted, at some point during the increasingly strained evening.

Summer had been so ready to just roll her eyes, wrinkle her nose, and type back just the word 'gross' or some vomiting emoji.....until she read the second half of the text and then she burst out a short laugh, had to cover her mouth, and then looked around to see if anyone noticed or cared.

literally DON'T give me any ideas omg

i did bring my portal gun AND spaceship if you feel you really need a diversion and a get-away

Was she already thinking up and 'oh noooooo, looks like [blank]!' excuse? Definitely.

Was the only thing preventing her from just following through regardless her uncertainty about just abandoning Stark to the family unit? Probably.

tempting but it might break normie new york. Ugh. Uggggh. how them on a scale of smith is the whole clan being right now anyway.

Please, distract him with slightly more off-beat family drama.

well I apparently missed my grampa walking around naked after being turkey-pardoned by his on-again/off-again president boyfriend, and I don't think my brother realizes yet that my mom and her clone are sleeping together, so it's currently probably a suspiciously low four, but who knows how fucked it'll get once that clicks in his weirdly still teenaged brain OR stark's resolve against my dad's frequent invites to do jigsaw puzzles with him breaks

Did that help, Jack? Did it??

[suitably_heroic]

It did!! It was so much weirder than the family trauma Jack currently found himself an observer to!

so thats kind of halfway up on the scale? nobodys tried to conquer the world yet.
