[After dinner, late, once everyone is asleep, and after she's hidden herself in the attic darkroom for the better part of an hour.]

Hi.

	I'd never hate either of you. [Paaaaaaaaaause. Casually.] Do you have any places in mind? [More scowling.] You can get me jealous some other way, because I don't share. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Carefully.] Saint sent a bunch of his clients my way, but I haven't called them back yet. [Smile.] I like it when you scowl and get possessive, though. [Lip bite.] And as long as I'm bringing up Saint, which will make you cranky and worried, I guess it's a good time to tell you that if anything happens through the door, you'll need to go to Silver's old door, if Selina's in trouble or anything.

	Oh. What kind of stuff do they want? [Sigh.] Yeah, I know you do. And you're so good at getting it out of me. [Long pause.] What? Why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I think mostly babies and weddings, he said, since he's concentrating on that bad story again. [Smile.] Just think, I get to make you wait another three weeks for sex, and I can get you jealous at the same time. [A sigh.] I don't know. She didn't say. She just left me a note on the phone telling me she'd relocated over there, since I still have keys for that door. I don't think she would have told me anything if she didn't need to.

Babies and weddings sound good. [Pause. Frown.] Maybe you should keep the darkroom in the attic, then, if he wants to go back to that. [Groan.] You're going to enjoy torturing me way too much. It's not fair. [Headshake.] Bruce is going to love this. I don't have a key to Marvel, Wren, and how is he supposed to know if she's in trouble? It's a different door.

It'll be fine, and I won't take the baby. He has better stuff than I can afford right now, and if people are going to pay me I need his help with making sure everything is perfect, at least at first. [Bright.] Does that mean you'll take me dancing? [Another sigh.] I got my key from MK back when we were still friends. I don't know who Tony has in Las Vegas, but maybe Bruce can ask him for a key? [Lip bite.] I think she'll be okay. Don't you think she'll be okay?

[Calm. He can manage calm.] Wren, what if the people he pissed off before find out where he lives? You think they'll care that you're just an innocent bystander? [Laughter.] Yeah, I'll take you dancing. [Pause. Sigh.] Bruce is going to have to tell him why, if he asks. He won't like it. [...] I think Selina can handle herself, but I don't know what goes on in Marvel. At least in DC he could watch out for her. I don't like the idea of not knowing what's going on.

	[Soothing. Soothing.] I'll take a knife with me. It'll be okay. I promise. I'm not scared as long as the baby's not there. And I don't think Selina's going to get up to anything much. In the note, she said she wouldn't be bringing the suit. I think that means she's going to behave, right? [And a smile.] Will you dance? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Muttered grumbling.] Be careful, okay? And if anything happens, even something small, or Saint's story takes a turn for the worse, you stop going there. Okay? [Eyeroll.] Who knows with Selina. Bruce will bitch about it for a while, but eventually he'll end up asking for a key. And he'll ask her about it too, you know. I just hope it doesn't end up being a disaster. Maybe write her a note back, ask her to keep you updated? [Grin.] It would defeat the purpose if I didn't, wouldn't it?

You taught me how to defend myself, remember? I'll be okay. I promise. I'm not a damsel in distress. Not anymore, anyway. [A little relived.] Good. I'm not worried, but I like the idea of you having a key. And I wrote her back, trying to see if she'd tell me anything, but I haven't gotten anything back. I'll let you know if I do. [Smile. Smile.] I can pick any place I want? [Quickly.] It can be my Christmas present, and it doesn't need to be expensive.

Yeah, I remember. That doesn't mean I don't worry. I always worry. It's a habit. [Grin.] Batman to the rescue. Maybe it'll help that he'd only go in for Selina, since he's got enough to worry about in Gotham without worrying about another door. And I think they're fine hero-wise. [Headshake.] Shhhh. Don't tell me what your Christmas present's going to be. Pick anywhere you want.

	[Fondly.] It's a sweet habit. [Reassuring.] I'm pretty sure Tony would help her if she was in trouble. No, I'm really, really sure Tony would help her if she was in trouble. It might even be safer than Gotham. [A little sound of disagreement.] I'm trying to save you money. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/wren onerule 2013-11-29 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	I'm glad you think that, because it's not one I'll be breaking anytime soon. [Quiet laugh.] Yeah, I know he would. I don't think they have the same crazy villains, but it is a comic book door. And you know Bruce. If I try telling him that Tony'll keep Selina safe, he'll bite my head off. [Fond.] Just tell me where you want to go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/wren spacecowboys 2013-11-29 11:08 pm UTC (link)
	I think Selina would bite your head off if she knew you thought she needs someone to keep her safe in the first place. [Stubbornly.] No. I'm arranging it. I might even blindfold you on the way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/wren onerule 2013-11-29 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, please. Like she wouldn't love the idea of Bruce swallowing his pride and asking for a key because of her. I've read some comic books, you know. I know how it works. [Laughter.] Really? Okay. Whatever you want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/wren spacecowboys 2013-11-29 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	A woman can feel all kinds of things at once. Haven't you figured that out yet, beau? [Smile.] And I'm not sure you want to use that particular phrase. I might get spoiled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/wren onerule 2013-11-29 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	If you mean haven't I figured out that women are complicated, yes, I have. [Teasing.] You're not already spoiled? I say it all the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/wren spacecowboys 2013-11-29 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	[Innocently.] Except for me. I make things really, really easy for you, because I'm not complicated at all. And you do not say it all the time. Only sometimes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/wren onerule 2013-11-29 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	[Deadpan.] Of course not. You're the exception to the rule. And I do so. You must be so used to hearing it that you just stopped paying attention. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: luke/wren spacecowboys 2013-11-29 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe you should say it more often, just in case. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Creak of bedsprings, and an exaggerated sigh.] Fine. Anything you want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
