A Much Needed Break

Kyle felt like he was spending every waking moment chasing after yellow rings, while Hal was kept busy with what seemed like one crisis after another on Earth. Duties for one always seemed to appear when the other had a break, and given the unpredictable nature of villains and catastrophes, they hadn’t seen each other in weeks. So it was an especially nice surprise when Kyle came home from another mission—exhausted, battered and frustrated—to find Hal waiting for him on his couch. 

“I’ve got a week off,” Hal said when they finally came up for air. “And a promise from John that I won’t get called unless it’s the end of the world.”

Kyle sighed. A week with Hal was just what he needed. Too bad Salaak had already roped him into another mission. “I hope you like sitting around on your vacation by yourself, because I have to go to—” 

“Nope, I worked it out. You’re all mine. Guy and the others will cover for you.” Hal grinned. “Everyone agreed you get for too grouchy when you’re not getting laid.”

“Too grouchy, huh?” Kyle deftly popped the buttons on Hal’s jeans. “I guess we’d better fix that.”
