((Backdated to about a week after Jay's return from the rez))

[lil_hulk]

It had been a week after Jay had gotten back from the rez. He had settled back into an almost regular routine at the Avengers mansion. But there was something he hadn't quite done yet. It was one of the things he had quietly vowed to himself to do. He was kind of ashamed at himself for putting it off for a week, but now was not the time to dwell on it. He was fixing it. He had come back a man, so he had the courage for this. He just needed May to show up since he finished with his school for the day. Also, he needed to check the mirror for stubble.

"No rugged look for me," he noted to himself as he glanced himself over in the bathroom mirror. The bedroom window had been left open for his girlfriend's normal mode of entrance.
