Back home there's everyday work (if dealing with possessed cinnamon buns and haunted highway overpasses- don't ask, but you really shouldn't take the BQE across the Gowanus for a while just to be on the safe side- can ever be called everyday), and an overenthusiastic ghost, and an angry sister. This is not very appealing to Ray right now. There's also his daughter, but she's a big girl. She can take care of herself for the handful of picoseconds between Ray heading for Milliways and Ray returning, Ray figures, much as he misses her while he's here. Right now he just doesn't want to deal with everything else back home. That'll happen soon enough.

So for the moment, he's reading a copy of the New York Daily News. There's a two-page spread on the city's proposed new disaster response plan. The police and firefighters' unions' response to the suggestion that special units be set aside specifically for the 'undefined phenomena' category of disaster is absolutely fascinating.

Matt had horrible dreams last night. There were penguins in his room plotting the overthrow of the San Diego Zoo.

Seeing Ray makes Matt wanna wave-but he's suddenly hesitant. Is the guy still giving off bad mojo? Is his nephew still throwing people around a'la Sy-

No comparison. Not by a long shot. Get that out of your head man. Seriously..

Not all people with superpowers are bad! Seriously!

Alright. Enough moral dilemma, "....Mornin' Ray?"

Okay, point of order: at no point did the nephew throw people. It was a late-model Pontiac LeMans. The fact that it had a driver at the time was totally secondary.

That said:

Ray looks up from the paper and smiles a little. "Hi, Matt. How's it going?"

Matt scratches the top of his head, "It's all right. How'bout you?"

"Still no word out of my sister, but otherwise okay," Ray says. "I survived the attack of the cinnamon bun from Hell, anyway."

Earlier today Matt introduced a man to donuts.

Cinnamon buns...

"...Did you try one of those Cinnabon Cinnamon Buns?" Matt shudders, "...Those things should be considered a lethal weapon."
