Late night homework (Jackie X Markus)
Markus was sitting at his kitchen table, he was supposed to be doing homework, but he couldn't figure it out. Jackie was out doing superhero things, and he didn't have anyone else around at the moment. "The one night no one else can help..." he mumbled as he looked at his notes, he definitely didn't learn this in school.
it was late at night, somewhere around midnight, Jackie always worked at night. Ever since Markus was younger he'd always stay up and wait for Jackie to come home. There were only a few times where Jackie wouldn't come home. When that happened, Markus would run over to one of the egos apartments and tell them. The egos would either bring Markus to a different egos apartment and go out looking for Jackie or call Jackie and see if he was okay (if he didn't answer, then they'd do the first thing.). Markus spent a lot of nights at his uncle's house, not being able to sleep because Jackie didn't come home, he was so afraid that Jackie had gotten seriously hurt or even killed.
As Markus got older, he realized that it took a lot to bring Jackie down. Hed usually just stay home and wait till at least after 1AM before bothering the other egos. He'd only sleep when Jackie came home.
After about a half-hour, Jackie walked through the door. He was still in his red super suit and Blue mask. He looked tired and had a few scratches and bruises on his neck and face. He saw Markus and sighed, "Markus it's past midnight, why aren't you in bed?" He asked, taking off his mask.
"I was just trying to finish my homework before school tomorrow...are you feeling up to help me? I don't know how to do this..." Markus responded. Most of the time he'd make up excuses that Jackie, Surprisingly, believed most of the time.
Jackie smiled faintly and nodded, "yeah, but after I help you with it do you promise to go straight to bed afterward?" Jackie asked as he walked over to Markus, sitting down next to him.
Marcus nodded with a smile, "yeah I promise!" He says as he showed Jackie the homework, which happened to be math.
After about 20 minutes Jackie stood up, "screw it I have no idea how to do this." He says.
Markus chuckled softly as he closed his notebook. "My teacher is gonna be mad..." he said as he put his stuff in his backpack. "Sorry kid, I wasn't taught that stuff...maybe Henrik can Teach you some time, he's really smart. I'm sure he knows that stuff." Jackie says with a chuckle before picking up Markus. "But right now, you need to sleep. You have school in the morning." Jackie carried Markus to his room before dropping him into the bed, he wrapped Markus up in a tight blanket burrito with a chuckle. "Sleep well Markus, I love you." He kissed the top of Markus's head.
Markus chuckled softly, "I love you too dad, night!" He says as he watched Jackie walk out of his bedroom before shutting the door. He yawned softly as he closed his eyes, finally able to sleep knowing that Jackie was home safe and sound.
