He shifted slightly and his eyes opened slightly before closing again.

She slowly slipped out of the bed and crept though the room, all the while keeping an eye on him.

He finally settled again and resumed snoring.

She let out a silent breath of relief and exited the room, closing the door very carefully. "Well, time for my nightly adventure. Yay." She left the house and traveled to Earth.

The next morning, Zeus knocked on Runner's door–well, knock for him; It was more of a pounding. "You up yet?"

Runner sat up, rubbing his eyes. "No. Go away."

"Yes, well, I would if Tessie was here so I could make her help me make breakfast, but she's not so you're volunteering."

"She's what?" he exclaimed, getting out of bed and walking to the door.

Zeus opened to door, leaning against the frame with a raised brow. "She's not here?"

"And where would she be?"

"New York. She's on her way back." He was utterly unconcerned. He eyed Runner up and down. "I suppose that will have to do until you get some new clothes today. Come on." He grabbed Runner's arm and dragged him downstairs.

"You're crazy if you think I'm about to make you breakfast."

"Not just me," Zeus said, still dragging Runner.

"I lived on the streets for 8 years, I don't know how to cook."

"Neither does Tessie. If I can teach you to cook, she'd have her mind blown and probably follow you around like a hungry pup."

"Can you please let go of my arm and let me go back to sleep?"

"Nope." Zeus brought Runner into the kitchen and pulled out a cooking flat iron, plugging it into the wall as he set it on the counter. "Baking powder and salt are in one of those cupboards," he pointed to a row of cupboards. "I'm assuming you know where the milk, eggs, and butter are."

"No. I don't. I've been here a total of 3 days."

"Fridge." Zeus dug around for measuring cups.

He groaned, walking over to the fridge ad gathering the items up. "This is against my will."

"I don't see anybody hovering over you with a chain and whip." Zeus found the measuring cups and held a hand over the griddle. Not hot enough yet.

He rolled his eyes. "What now?"

"Get a bowl from up there." He pointed to another cupboard. "Then measure out the ingredients. 3 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 1/4 cups of milk, 1 egg, and 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Once you done that, mix 'em together int he bowl. Dry ingredients before wet ingredients."

He looked at Zeus like he had just spoken French.

"Get a bowl," Zeus said slowly.

He scowled, but grabbed a bowl from the cubboard he had pointed to before.
