Heya, Harl. Long time, no talk.

[public]

[As Spoiler.] Clean-up post-toxin is progressing well, though some casualties are still expected in the coming days, so it'd be prudent to keep an eye on high buildings if you're out there. For everyone's sake.

	Selina? Why --- [He looks down and reads it quickly.] Guess that whole big happy family thing really took a dive. [He sounds resigned more than upset about that, at least.] What do you mean it hasn't just been a week? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She's pissed, and I'm tired of everyone's bullshit. Guess that doesn't mix well. [Lipbite.] If I tell you something, you can't tell anyone else, okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Everyone's shaken. None of us like being out of control. [That was a crazy understatement.] You're starting to worry me. You know you can trust me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, this is old, old stuff. [She doesn't sound like she's phased by Crane. Because she isn't. A shaky sigh and another pause.] You ever hear that Selina used to be different? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Not sure where she's going with that.] Yeah she was here when she was younger, right? A teenager, maybe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And then, she blinked back to her Gotham. For seven years. And she came back here. [She sighs.] Something like that happened to Eddie and me. We were gone for five years. On Earth-3, where everything is backwards. Where the rogues are fighting the good fight and the family is ripping Gotham apart brick by brick. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Quiet on the other side as he's taking this in.] Five years? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Wary affection.] They weren't exactly you. [A hard swallow.] But yeah. Owlman, Ultraman, everyone in the Crime Syndicate was pretty much other sides of the coin of all of us. I spent five years fighting side-by-side with people we spent our whole lives trying to stop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Quiet as he's thinking.] Steph .... [Hesitation and then continues, sincere.] I'm sorry. That sounds like a nightmare. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[A sigh, and she sounds like she's trying not to get upset.] It was. We tried to get back here so many times, but we just couldn't. So we fought for years and years, and we thought we could save these people but they died anyway. [Rubbing her eyes. Thickly.] I made a lot of mistakes, and I fucked up just as often as I did something good, and I almost died. And then I almost lost Eddie, too.

	You tried your best. I know you did. [Firm, certain.] We all mess up. You were in an impossible situation. You're both alive and here now, right? Focus on that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Comm: Steph/Tim forthem 2014-03-28 09:05 pm UTC (link)
	[A small pause. She's smiling, even if there's still that lingering upset.] I'm the old one now, Tim. I'm supposed to spout out the wisdom. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm an old soul. [Dryly.] Why don't you want the others to know? (Reply to this) (Parent)
