Jasper chuckles lightly and shakes his head, "I fall apart and you get all fixed up.  You know somehow that sounds like a fair trade to me."  Jasper holds his hands out in front of him once again almost afraid that they'll start shaken again.  When they stay steady his smile grows a little bigger.  "Well would you look at that?  Looks like your hugs are pretty magical... maybe you should try it more often."  Jasper drops his hands and looks over at Kay.  "I don't know about you but all this talking has made me a little thirsty.  Why don't I go downstairs and see if Conor has something to drink around here besides water.  If not hopefully she'll at least have some ice.  I can't remember the last time I had a nice cold drink.  How does that sound to you?"<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>A couple of zombies make a showing only to be easily picked off with the sniper rifle.  Minerva holsters the rifle on her back and stands stretching out her legs and arms.  "Forget this boring routine."  She mutters to herself as she walks over to the utility shed that leads to the stairwell which will take her back into the building.  All of the rooms facing out with windows are left in darkness.  Looking at the outside her tenth story looks just as dark and foreboding as the other near by buildings.  The central rooms however are a different matter.  One of the first ones that she passes through looks like a scene from enterprise bridge with several video displays showing brief snips of what is being recorded by the security cameras that are set up throughout the halls and outside of the building.  All of the camera's along with several strategically placed laser turrets are now controlled fully from this room.  There used to be guards that took care of that detail but they were all long dead and gone now.  Another room contained three 2,000 gallon aquariums which were actually set in the walls so they could be seen in three other rooms as well.  One was a salt water reef tank with all kinds of living coral and an assortment of fish associated with reef life.  Another held a two year old tiger shark that was constantly on the move from one end of the tank back to the other.  The third tank was filled with a fresh water community of a wide variety of fresh water wish who all pretty much got along well with the others.  The first tank shared a wall with her living room the second tank shared a room with her work out room and the third shared a wall with her bed room.  It was this last room that Minerva headed to next.  In the bedroom she took off all four of her weapons putting hem away in one of the  gun cabinets.  In actuality there was not a single room in the house that did not have at least 4 different weapons hidden somewhere.  With two rooms fully dedicated to storing her most advanced weapons.  After storing her weapons she stripped out of her suit and padded softly to the shower.  After standing under the hot water for nearly 30 minutes Minerva finally gets out drys off and slips into a pink satin nighty.  Not long after wards with a tub of popcorn in one hand and a cold beer in the other she sits down on a plush sofa and turns on the dvd player.  Hitting the play button she takes a swig of bear as the title screen of Sleepless in Seattle begins to play.  Not for the first time she cant help but wonder why she is such a sucker for these so called chick flicks as she glances over to the coffee table to make sure she has enough Kleenex for the tears that are sure to fall even if she has seen this movie at least a thousand times.
