Cal Chandler

There was one and only one thing about this that was lacking:

It wasn't a meal. It was barely a snack. And it definitely wasn't about eating.

Now it's well into nighttime, and Cal is hungry.

Time to go do something about that.

He's been avoiding Sherlock.

Not as thoroughly as he had after Sherlock told him about the whole clone thing. He's called a couple of times, and talked to Sherlock rather than hiding behind Jarvis like he did before. But he hasn't visited, and he hasn't suggested that Sherlock come over to the Chandler compound.

After Tony's visit, though, the guilt of it starts catching up with him. It's not Sherlock's fault he couldn't keep himself under control. And - anyway. That never happened. He's pretty sure Sherlock would be okay with that.

And Sherlock is his best friend. It's stupid to let that fall apart because of something that doesn't even (have to) matter.

So, one afternoon, he gets in his car and drives out to the Stark residence.

That never happened. Cal is never talking about it.

But since so minor a detail won't keep Sherlock from knowing that something - never happened, Cal has stayed mostly at home or with Tina since. (It's a handy excuse for not having to deal with other things-that-never-happened, too, which Cal is not going to admit.)

He's at home now, looking over the payroll. Some of their employees are coming due for raises. While this is technically their accountant's job, Cal likes to stay on top of things. It's part of running the household.

It's been a few days since - well. Everything. Cal's been at home, focusing on his obligations there, giving Sherlock and Tony space to deal.

(Tony knows he can come talk to Cal if he wants. Cal told Jarvis. And he hasn't cut off all contact with Sherlock, either. He's called a couple of times.

He just. Doesn't want to get in the way.)

He's been keeping an eye out for Milliways, though. He did make a promise.

So when a door shows up, he takes it.

It's been an odd couple of days. Cal has kept his focus mainly on Tina, and hopefully that's helped keep the weirdness on his end at a minimum.

When she's ready to go home, though, he promises with a glance at Sherlock to come back once he's dropped her off. With any luck, Tony won't ask too many questions until then.

Usually, Cal returns from a visit to Milliways feeling refreshed, or at least less tired.

Today, this is not the case.

He's glad Tina is already safely in her safe room, awaiting the moon. He knows the conversation he just had is clear on his face, and he doesn't want her to have anything else to worry about.
