I'm gonna go with it anyway. Screw what then wanted. [A couple of beats.] Well, maybe not everything they wanted. [Another couple of jumps and then she grapples to the next roof. Peering over that ledge as she gets closer to the police station. Then, she stops. Arrested to the spot. Like she's breathing.] Baby, I love you more and more every day. And that's not an exaggeration. What do you think they might want if we can't find ourselves?

	[Grin at the first part and then after a pause.] To stay together, probably. I mean, can you imagine getting zapped somewhere without me? I couldn't survive. It was five long years and yes I jump out of my fucking skin when I hear an unexpected loud noise at night, but I never once stopped loving you. And, that's all they can really ask of us.

[She makes a noise when he says he's never stopped, something appreciative and rumbling and that could almost be teary. Then, a beat. Fondly, but serious.] Oh, I thought that was obvious. I'm so glad we didn't get separated after all of that bullshit. It would have been so unfair. I don't know I would go on without you, Eddie Nashton. Any second of any day. [A lip bite.] I need you, baby. I'm not ashamed of admitting that. I don't need anything else except you. [Quiet teasing.] Other things are nice, but you're the center of my world too.

	[Quiet fondness. An inhale when she says she needs him like it put the wind in his sails. Murmured with love:] I don't need anything else either. [He clears his throat. Laugh as he pieces his mind back together.] What other things? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 08:49 am UTC (link)
	[A smile.] Pets. Take-out food. Being able to stay in bed until the afternoon just because we can. Really getting the chance to spend our lives together now and not be scared we'll lose each other at any moment. [The last one gets her just a little bit. She clears her throat.] Just getting to sit around and enjoy us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Warmly.] That sounds nice. [He stops walking. There's chatter around him and city noise.] I'm going to check to make sure everything is running smoothly here. I got another stop at the church and then I'll be home right before dawn. How about you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 09:02 am UTC (link)
	[Thoughtful noise.] I'm laying low and getting a feel for the city right now. You're right. I don't want people to see my Eggplant just yet, but I still wanna sniff around. Looks like police are getting more organized and stuff's moving along. [Proudly.] I might just be home before you are. For once! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Shocked.] Then I guess you'll have to make me breakfast. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 09:05 am UTC (link)
	So cold cereal and milk, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 09:08 am UTC (link)
	Can I trust you with a knife long enough to cut up those fresh strawberries I bought and put them in my corn flakes? Strawberries, Stephanie. When was the last time you had those? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 09:13 am UTC (link)
	I'm a stabbin' machine, baby. I can wield a knife for anything. [Practically a squeal.] Five years, give or take? Think about all the food we can have that we didn't have before. Margaritas! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 09:18 am UTC (link)
	Jesus. [Laughing.] Do you remember when I tried to make margaritas a few years ago? I wasted the last good batch of limes. [Dreamy.] We can have Chinese take out and ribs and I can grill and fresh veggies and real seafood not that imitation stuff. [Long, happy sigh.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 09:24 am UTC (link)
	Those were the worst margaritas I've ever had. And I've had the cheap ones from Baja Fresh back in the day. [A hum.] Ugh, street fairs! We can go to real, honest-to-god street fairs in the summer, baby! [Easy grin. Eyes closed.] Tell me what else. What else do we have back? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The softest bed in Gotham, all of our favorite television shows, a steady internet connection, eating at restaurants without worrying about the sky falling, coffee that doesn't taste like burnt rubber. [He's on a roll.] We can go places. I can take you wherever you want. Hawaii, a bed and breakfast? You name it. I can make you anything you want. Waffles, birthday cake, cookies, anything. We have our pets, we have beautiful parks and silly rogues who are either too stupid to pull a real crime off or just cause havoc while they're having fun. [Inhale.] But, most of all. The most important thing we have back is that we're safe to grow and live. Well, as safe as Gotham can be.

	[A happy little whimper.] I love you. I love you so much, Edward Nashton, and I'm so glad I get to rebuild my life with you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 09:43 am UTC (link)
	Damn straight you are. [Smile. Reluctant to go, but:] I love you, too. I'll see you later. Don't forget the strawberries. [Click.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
