	[While out, trying to remember what pop up clinics he put together. Sounding like he's reading a map.] Heeey, baby. [Busy noise behind him. Talking to someone else:] Yeah, one second. One second, doctor. [He slips out into the street.] I showed Frank my tattoos. He almost laughed his ears off. I didn't know that was possible. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[Teasing, dryly.] Then, I guess I'll have to start wearing that full body muscle suit again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're so right. [Grin.] Oh wait! I have the luxury of making you sleep on the couch now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-19 06:38 am UTC (link)
	[Squint.] I'm destroying the couch when I get home. You wouldn't let me sleep on the floor right. [...] You'd probably make me sleep on the floor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Imagine the face I gave Lucha when he mentioned a certain saint. Are you imagining it? I'm giving you that face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-19 06:42 am UTC (link)
	Poor Lucha, he didn't know what he did for weeks. [A fond smile.] You like my tattoos. But, I won't tell anyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-19 06:45 am UTC (link)
	[Smile.] I do. You can tell everyone if you want. You can write it on a banner. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-19 06:49 am UTC (link)
	Thank god, I already put it on my blog about how much you like things about me and how much I like things about you. It's called "Don't Read this Blog Unless You Want To Question Your Own Relationships and Love Life Dot ORG." Org cause dot com was taken. Of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-19 06:55 am UTC (link)
	I think I'm supposed to sign a clearance on that, baby. [Curiously.] What else is on that blog? It better be a lot of cute pictures and how much you need to watch you drool when you sleep. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-19 06:58 am UTC (link)
	Nah, you're good. [Smirk.] It's actually mostly shocking evidence that you wear a retainer at night. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-19 07:01 am UTC (link)
	So, I'm allowed to sue for slander? [A noise!] One night a week! I gotta keep these pearly whites nice and pretty or you might leave me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-19 07:05 am UTC (link)
	It's actually a fantasy of mine for our lives to turn into an Ally McBeal episode. [Eyebrow waggle.] I inferred this because retainer night is usually no sex night. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-19 07:10 am UTC (link)
	You've been deprived of good things for too long if you think Ally McBeal is a good life goal. [A scoff.] You wanna be in a metal mouth? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-19 07:13 am UTC (link)
	[Listed off like he is now a lawyer.] The short skirts, the shared bathrooms, the strong independent women and karaoke. Tell me I'm wrong. [Ack!] No, god no. Just the thought. [Audible shivering.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-19 07:19 am UTC (link)
	I just think you want to be the Harrison Ford to my Calista Flockhart. But you never looked that good with a fedora and a whip. [Needling.] I thought you loved me. What if I had to get braces while we were dating? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-19 07:22 am UTC (link)
	One time I tried to use a whip and needed eight stitches. True story. [Chuckle.] I love you so much baby, but I don't think I'd ever try to get with you if you still had braces back then. What's next? Streamers on your bike handles? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-19 07:30 am UTC (link)
	Good thing I don't have a kink, huh? [Eyeroll for the ages.] No, I never had streamers. My scooter had light-up wheels though. Get it right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-19 07:37 am UTC (link)
	I still think you've got one buried somewhere. Especially after being with me for so long. [Hmph.] When I was a kid I was lucky if my bicycle had wheels. And, when the 30's hit, we had to sell it to pay for dinner which consisted of hard boiled eggs every since day. [Smirk.] Sorry, I've been missing my old man quota. I told you I'd get it in!

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-19 07:44 am UTC (link)
	[Smirk.] You've got years and years and years to figure it out, don't you? [An exaggerated UGGGHHH and a slap to her forehead.] I thought I was done with this. Don't be jealous that I got a scooter and you didn't. I'll buy you a scooter, okay? I'll get you a Razor. [Teasing.] Though it's no wonder you have a stomach of steel! It all makes sense now.

[Pleased noise.] We've got all the time in the world, baby. You're stuck with me. [Smirk.] I could make a Razor look cool. Me and my tattoos. [Brighter smile.] My spirit animal is a raccoon. [A pause as someone tries to get his attention. His voice changes to something polite and informative.] Yes, doctor. I know there's going to be a congestion of trouble at the bridge, but honestly it's more important to have police there. Non violent, strong guys who can pull people back up and higher ranking, soft spoken officers to calm people down. [...] One clinic sounds perfect. [...] I'll head over there now and see what they need. I've got an expert on the line who can tell me where the police are, thank you. Your help means the world. [He starts walking. Things go quiet. A moment passes.] It's weird, Steph. The transition back brings back so many memories of Earth-3. Making sure the city doesn't crumble feels like breathing. Here though, it's not even on the same scale. You know?

[So happy.] And I wouldn't have it any other way. [Eyeroll.] In your dreams, Nashton. But, maybe I'll let you take a ride on the Batcycle some time this week? That fits all your tattoos and manliness. [She goes quiet as he speaks, finally moving from one rooftop to the next. She's hovering near the police station and watching the coordination efforts there.] I understand completely, baby. It's just second nature, but here? It feels like we're actually fighting towards something, right?

[Pause, he looks up at the buildings, listens to the faint sirens.] It's a puzzle we can solve. In a week this will be cleared up. I'm sure Crane won't be too hard to track down as he's still in larva stages. Death count will be low. Gotham will pick itself back up. All of this? I missed it. [Another small pause as he tries to take it in, craning his neck a little to see Wonder Tower in the distance.] How are you feeling?
