Puzzle 34

[726 Anderson Lane.]

[Luke had only been gone a little over three hours, but the way he's stumbling into the house makes it look like he's been gone for a week. The front of his shirt is covered in blood, and he has a nasty bite on his shoulder. Despite that? He doesn't look scared or traumatized, as he usually does with each horrible event the town puts them through.

Instead, he looks really tired.

He darts towards the kitchen, and rummages for something to eat and drink. He's tempted to find someplace to sleep, but there's still a few things he needs to do first. The first thing he needs to do is make a phone call...]


[Phone.]


What all was found in those portals? What did everyone see? The more you can tell me, the better. We ought to start making a record of our discoveries as soon as possible.

[Around town.]

[After a fresh change of clothes, Luke doesn't look that much better, but at least he's not covered in blood anymore. His first goal is to check on the people he traveled with in the void and make sure they all came back in one piece. While he's mostly interested in checking up on people he knows, he'll stop for just about anyone.

When he's finished making sure everyone is okay, he'll go pay a visit to a certain sea creature at the lake.]

[462 Stone Street - Late night]


[The event may be over, but Luke's paranoia gets the better of him. He's spent most of his day fighting sleep and stalking his Mayfield family just in case they don't get eaten by a glitch or something. But even as he tries to go to bed, he still keeps waking up in the middle of the night thanks to some very nasty nightmares.

Deciding sleep is a lost cause, he slips out of the house in the middle of the night, still in his pajamas. He makes his way over to 462 Stone Street to check up on a certain puzzler. Worried about waking them up, he ends up sitting outside the door like a creeper while he decides if he should knock or not.

Unfortunately his lack of sleep catches up with him, because before he can make a decision, he dozes off on the doorstep of the Nigma family. If Edward or Ema checks outside in the middle of the night, they'll find Luke curled up and fast asleep on the porch.]

[Ema's main contribution to the breakfast has been the toast and the coffee. She's not an incompetent cook by any means, but it's easier to let Edward do it and stay out of his way.

Besides, there's something warmly attractive about the whole situation, almost as if this family thing weren't just a coincidence of assignment.

Luke's arrival into the kitchen draws her attention away from staring at Edward, and she greets him with a smile.]
Hey, good morning. I was starting to worry that you'd sleep through breakfast.

[To Ema:]

I had a feeling that he wouldn't.

[And he was right. Fifty points for the Riddler.

Then, to Luke:]


Good morning, Luke.

[Edward takes another moment to transfer this latest batch of pancakes onto a serving plate to the side of the stove before glancing over his shoulder at Luke, offering a grin that's both friendly and incredibly self-satisfied. This is shaping up to be a fine-looking breakfast, if he does say so himself.]

Question: How hungry are you?

[Ema gets up to refill her mug of coffee, reaching around Edward to snag a piece of bacon on her way to the pot. As she munches, she looks back at Luke at the table. She has to admit, this is really nice.

She can't imagine what Edward and Luke (what was he thinking, going through that last portal?!) had gone through, but she figures a sense of normalcy and family will help. She'll press Edward for details later, when Luke's out of earshot.]


I know you're on the young side for all of this caffeine, but do you drink coffee at all? We might have tea, if you'd prefer that. Or juice. We definitely have orange juice.
