Eliot wasn't sure who had first started using the term for the occasions when the whole team got together for a friendly meal, instead of eating during a meeting for a job, but somewhere along the lines, "family dinner" had become official. With Nate and Sophie on the island, that was just what the team was doing now, with Eliot putting the finishing touches on his spaghetti sauce (one of the few dishes they all could agree on), Hardison and Parker grabbing dishes and napkins to set the table, and Val skipping about excitedly underfoot, all of them moving easily in and around each other with the ease of long practice.

Nate stood in the doorway with a beer and watched the process with a small smile.

"I take it Hardison bought your home out from under you, too?" he asked when he managed a moment with Eliot alone. The look on Eliot's face wasn't entirely quantifiable. It contained rather a lot of fond amusement, though.

"Sure," he said. "Somethin' like that.

"That smells delicious. As usual." Sophie ignored the Eliot vs. Nate byplay, and smiled over her glass of iced tea. "We should visit more often, I've missed your food something awful, Eliot."

"Did you get a chance to talk to Kathy's sister?" Parker wondered aloud, directing the remark to both Eliot and Hardison. "I think she should get to come here after Kathy graduates. 'Cause those parents-- yeesh."

"I could make sure she gets some kind of scholarship or whatever," Hardison volunteered. "If cost is gonna be a problem. The parents got decent jobs--" because of course he'd looked them up, of course he had "--but LA is expensive to live in, even in a crummy neighborhood like they're in. Lower middle class, but stable. Might do better if either parent got a promotion, but..."

He wasn't inclined to manipulate the system to get either of them one.

"Hmm. Yes," Nate said distractedly. "How exactly did you three end up so tied up in those girls' lives?"

"Weren't you paying attention?" Sophie wasn't going to let Nate question the others without some buffering, at least. "She was their teaching assistant. Good teachers care." She smiled at all three of them, then toasted Eliot with her wineglass. "You can't cater the wedding, you'll be part of the wedding party."

Not to mention probably providing impromptu security at any moment.

"I might ask for a cake, though...."

"Caaaaake," Parker muttered, then added, "Kathy's a good TA and a good student, and you got to meet her after she started to relax. Believe us, she was wound way way way more tight when we met her early in the year."

"I don't know her as well as they do, but she's a smart girl," Hardison volunteered. "I wasn't sure that that really counted as relaxed until they started tellin' stories about how she was before, yo."

Sophie's eyebrows were up as well. "You weren't lying about this not being a typical school, were you?" She served herself some salad, shaking her head. "Why wouldn't her friend go to emergency care, or dare we ask?"

"Probably because he's a vigilante or something," Parker said nonchalantly. "I'm not really sure, I didn't meet the guy. I think Eliot did, though... And anyway, it's good stuff for her to know around here, in case of the next alien invasion or Elder-God-making-people-crazy situation."

...wait, had they ever explained about that?

"She ain't bein' Parker about this stuff, by the way," Hardison said, sitting down in his usual chair and leaning backwards in it to snag a piece of garlic bread from the basket on the counter. "The kid's some kind of superhero vigilante out in Baltimore, aliens have invaded, an' the less we talk about the damn elder god, the happier I am."

Sophie laughed softly. "Like that's any surprise." She shot him an amused glance, some of her confusion settling down. "A child. I can't imagine it. I've never planned that, expected it." She was quiet. "What did she say about us?"
