Jean crouched in the dark, waiting for her night vision to kick in. She started to wonder if one of her little additions had finally kicked the bucket; vague shapes turned sharp, outlines in green, and she let out a breath. The only thing worse than having wires in your skull was having wires that didn't goddamn work.

Summary: A working generator plus a TV in decent condition plus a surprise cache of DVDs equals movie night. Also, Jean is bad with women.


She had to squint when Max turned on the light. The basement air was cool, a nice change from the desert heat. Whoever had owned it Before had been in the middle of turning it into a rec room, but never had the chance to finish. Wood paneling gave way to cement floors and walls. On one end a couch facing a wide-screen TV; on the other end buckets and a roller brush covered in crusted paint.

"We shouldn't waste the electricity," she said. Max sighed.

"Movie night isn't going to kill the generator. Look, Jean. We need a night off. All of us. Including you. I think you cracked your knuckles fifty times over breakfast."

Jean frowned. "It's just a habit."

"Right, a habit that goes into overdrive when you're stressed. Don't try to bullshit me." Max pointed at his chest. "I'm a med student."

Were. But Jean didn't say that out loud anymore.

( And in my expert medical opinion, staring at a TV for so long your brain turns into mush is like the third best way to relieve stress. )
