Once Upon a Time

Michael's day has been hectic. Morgan's day has been quiet and contemplative. Despite vast differences in how they passed the time, often they had a means to blow of steam or liven things up without ever wasting precious time on Earth. They never spoke about it or discussed it outside of Morgan's apartment. None of the household outside of Holmes knew of their 'disappearances.' But, when one hundred and seventy-five rooms in a mansion became confining or the rat race too frustrating, they would sympathetically 'know' and leave together for other places, dimensions, planes, or times. Often, for Morgan, it was work and, for Michael, a sidekick position, but they could disappear for weeks at a time and return only minutes after they had left by the clock.

Children, marriage, financial upheavals, and Morgan's frequent deaths did not stop them from going out again. Indeed, the bonding between them was so intense from these that it would take Michael's death to stop the partner sojourns. Morgan would continue working solo until his brother's unfortunate resurrection.
