Taking the dishes from Becca and the towel Sam put everything in the sink and rinsed them before putting them in the dishwasher. ”I guess that makes sense.” the icemancer said touching his stomach and gesturing towards her awkwardly. ”Missions get dangerous.” he agreed.

”Does that mean Rime gets to go help out or am I on sabbatical for hat as well?” he asked folding his arms, ”Been running missions since I was a kid, I can at least fly the jet.” he said confidently.

”Do I need a new costume with a new name?” Sam asked, ”Old Sam’s suits are a little… unpractical.” he said preferring to have less flash on his X-suit.

The icemancer laughed, ”A lot of things are more important than heroics. Especially hikin-“ Sam stopped short then smirked at her ”interesting girls.” Sam said noticing the stars. They were faint but they were there. The first few he noticed were behind Cora, then he realized he was staring and then he looked back out in front of them.

”From what I see heroics can be dangerous. I might get injured or a bad case of the deadsies.” Sam joked. They can be dangerous but that was why he spent his time training not to mention all the years before he spent training and doing said dangerous stuff most of them were far from heroic. ”They will need someone to help them climb.”

”Had to get proof you were with me if you decided to cut our thread.” Sam nodded his head watching the sky give off a final burst of orange before fading to black.

More stars were out now, ”Driving back?” Sam grabbed the bottle, ”Here I thought we were having a drink.” he topped off his glass and set the bottle down. ”Bruno and I were just planning on sleeping in the bed of the truck and star gaze.” Sam looked to Bruno and clicked his cheek getting the dogs attention. ”Isn’t that right bud?” Bruno barked for an ice sphere.

Sam raised an eyebrow when she winked at him. He raised his beer and took another swig listening to what Viewtube was. It sounded kinda cool he was now more curious about what covers she knew. He hadn’t listened to her play before but older Sam apparently enjoyed her music so either he was going to love it or hate it.

Sam grabbed two more beers then walked around to where she was sitting. He sat down opposite her then smirked, ”Why settle for anything?” the icemancer sipped his beer. ”Well if thingamajig isn’t what you want then sporky?” Sam asked grinning trying to make it sound like her calling him Sport-y.

”Then again, if cute is something you got to settle for maybe I don’t want to be cute.” he said thinking with his beer next to his chin.

”Sport?” Sam cracked a smile debating on calling her ‘old bean’ in response to the nickname. He had enough aliases it be could if Sport wasn’t added onto the list. It might have well been Junior. He changed to the current topic. ”what… do they dream.” he asked not sure if he wanted to know but still very intrigued.

”Viewtube?” Sam asked not sure what that was even if he hadn’t lost a decade odds are he wouldn’t have known what it was. Sam was never up current trends other than crashing the occasional Gala or concert. ”I have no idea what that is.” he said honestly. ”Music sharing site?” he asked trying to guess.

Sam took a big drink of the beer during the stretch trying not to make it see like he was checking her out during said stretch. ”I am cute.” Sam agreed with a smirk. He was used to hot or cool, cute made him seem more like a kid. If this woman was closer to his older self then she was indeed older than him now. He’d not rebuttal cute; she was older so it was okay.

”It’s… cute…” Sam raised his eyebrows and tried not to laugh, ”Why get rid of it?”

It wasn’t like Sam didn’t want a relationship with someone. It was always weird having to see people holding hands like that and profess their love for each other. The icemancer just knew with his life; past, present and looking like future it was probably best he didn’t get involved with anyone. He never knew when he’d had to disappear or if someone got hurt because of him, he’d never be able to live with himself. He didn’t argue though. She had a large spoon and was pregnant and had random powers. He didn’t feel like getting blasted out of the kitchen on a now full stomach.

Sam didn’t know if he wanted to leave a legacy here, however he was enjoying himself now what’s to say things get bad. No it would be easier to pack up and leave he’d of course have to take Bruno and Cammie with him or at least find them a home. Sam’s nostrils flared as he hopped off the counter and walked over to the sink to rinse the carton before putting it in the recycling.

”That was my code name when I was a kid.” Sam said folding his arms leaning up next to the sink. He didn’t like explaining anything about his past but again, it was oddly comforting talking to her, he didn’t like it….nope.
”It was either that or 602. Cold Steel had a better ring to it.” she did have a point while his older self and him did share a past tighter it didn’t mean he had to stick to everything.

”Rime.” he said finally. Sticking to the ice theme. Steel was only part of his name due to his ability with knives and swords.

The flirting took Sam by surprise. Here he thought she just needed someone to talk to maybe she needed more? Sam was fine with it. ”I can’t wait to see this again in like ten years when I’m old.” he said lifting the cover and grinning. He studied it and pointed to the smiley face next to the heart. ”I got a smiley face.” he then read the rest of what she wrote. ”And …. A favorite spork?” he laughed, ”The ultimate utensil! Awesome!”

”Worked for Jenny.” Sam said nodding his head referencing a classic movie that was on his older ‘must watch’ movie list glad that he had seen it because the reference worked perfectly. ”You said ‘stage’ name, who am I to question.” Sam said with a shrug into his beer.

”I mean supposedly you have a record deal so you don’t need to strip unless you want to.” he had nothing against strippers in fact he was surprised he didn’t know more of them in either decade.

”How about beautiful?” Sam said grinning finishing his bottle and grabbing another two for them. ”Then again you probably get that a lot. I might just stick with thingamajig. Though you might have to tell me how you came up with that name.” Sam said his eyes still fixed on Paige’s face not getting distracted by her legs.

”Only if you can do it right.” Sam said smirking, ”I mean you were practically dancing on bull head here.” Sam said with a little laugh.

Sam let out a little surprised gasp as he felt her under his arm. ”Whoooa!” Sam said as he quickly felt his feet leave the ground. He didn’t like this not being sure what was going on he liked to be in control of where he was going one of the reasons he preferred to fly. His stomach churned and he felt dizzy for a second till he found his footing on the side of the building.

Still holding on tight to her he started to kick his legs out as if he was trying to run. ”Is this the part I’m supposed to be running!?!?” Sam said a little panicked. If he needed to he could form an ice slide but with the way he was facing the building he wasn’t sure how the ice would form under him.

The more he thought about it the more out of it he felt. ”Not sure I like this.” Sam said closing his eyes for a second before quickly relying on his training to ‘keep eyes open’ his body still working to be attached to Zero.
