“Happy New Year!” Smee said cheerily, spending this one in Neverland rather than a cell already elevating his mood.
Vaeda bounded over, giving Smee a party popper before she exploded her own. “Happy New Year!”

“Happy New Year!” Smee said cheerily, spending this one in Neverland rather than a cell already elevating his mood.
Vaeda bounded over, giving Smee a party popper before she exploded her own. “Happy New Year!”
She had almost tripped over them, stumbling hard in her heels. “Do I want to know how you got down there? Or should I just leave you there to contemplate your life choices?”
“Then it’s a good thing I’ve gotten a head start on tonight’s drinking festivities, eh?”
“I am very proud of you. You know how to do New Year right.”
“You’re an evil genius, Vee.”
“I know. I am. I take the name and make it look adorable.”
“No problem! Happy new year’s! I have a feeling it’s going to be a good one.”
“Of course! It’s 2016! New Year, New Looks, New Friendships.”
“Another year in the life of the pirates.”
“We should drink rum and sing ‘pirates life for me’!”
“It’s always nice to see a smile on your face. Cheers, V.”
“Come dance, Thatch. Come on, come on.” Vaeda was tugging on Thatcher’s arm. “Angel won’t dance for me until he’s had a few mored drinks.”
“Here! Have a chocolate. Sweets are the best way to start off a new year!”
“I thank you! This is my kind of way to celebrate!”
“The year has treated you well, I think. The new one should be ever better.”
“Hell yes, I can cheers to that.”
“Cheers!”
“Cheers, big ears!”
“Welcome home,” Thatcher greeted, not looking up. “The balloons are on their way and the pony is out back, sweetheart.”
“You better not be lying to me, Thatcher. I’ll be expecting all of these things once I unpack.”
“You look terrible.”
“Great to see you too, Plato.” Vaeda said cheerily with a hint of sarcasm.
“I’m home!” Vaeda yelled out as she ran up the stairs. “Where is my welcome home party?”
The tops of the bills inched out of the envelopes opening just enough to allow her one last recount as she walked into the hideout. It’s halls ingrained themselves into her muscle memory so firmly, she barely had to look up at all. Until she heard other footsteps approaching, that was. “The Captain around?” She asked vaguely tucking the tips back into their paper prison.
“That is a negatory. I also don’t know where he has disappeared to.” Vaeda tugged on a lock of Hannah’s hair affectionately. “We could build a stuffed Captain with a few pillows and an eyepatch if you want. Other than that, I can’t help you.”
Tobias eyed her for a second, trying to figure out whether her offer was sincere or not. Like he had any idea what the fuck he was doing when it came to hacking. Finally shrugging, he gave Vaeda a nod. “Alright, why not.”
Vaeda smiled at the prospect of having some company. “You don’t have to do anything. Maybe press a button that’ll end the world but that’ll be it.”
“You might regret that decision,” he mumbled as he turned on the television. He flipped through the shows, thumb in his belt loop as seconds turned to minutes. His indecision came to an end when he huffed and finally settled on Daredevil.
“Hope you like superheroes.” He tossed the remote on the couch and drifted back to the younger girl, hovering over her shoulder to look at the work. “This just general filing, or is this paperwork so important there’s a system to it?”
“Hell yeah, I like Superheroes.” Vaeda dropped a huge stack of paper onto the coffee table that sat across from the couch. “Okay. They go by last name and then date. Example, Hayden Sinclair is under S and then the most recent date goes on top. These are just payslips to make sure everyone’s getting paid right and also so if one of you get all stabby over the fact that you think you’re not getting paid right, I got the paperwork to shove in your face.” The background noise was nice and it gave them something to focus on instead of the impending papercuts that were going to follow.
Vaeda was shifting some files when her hands reached Gabe’s. Her hand clenched and she froze, her eyes going glassy. It wasn’t a new thing and yet it felt as raw as the day that they found his body. Letting out a deep breath, Vaeda’s voice went uncharacteristically emotionless as she handed it to Hayden. “Can you get rid of this please?”
A corner of his lips lifted. “I look pretty at all times. But the filing sounds tedious enough to want to finish it quickly, so —- what’s on the Netflix queue?”
“Since you’re helping me, you can have control. Pick whatever you want.” Vaeda passed the remote to Hayden before finding all the paper work.
