Jennie was having a rough go of things, as of late. She wanted to say it was because of the age event, but that would have just been an excuse. Truthfully it had started before that. She knew that sooner or later she was going to have to deal with her issues. Things that she had tried so very hard to keep private, she didn't want to keep hidden any longer. The age event had made her realize that. And she knew she couldn't keep blaming Hal or Kyle for her problems, although they were the closet thing for her to lash out. Granted Kyle apologizing to her right off the bat like that had surprised her and sucked a little of the wind out of her sails.
It was unexpected that he would do so. And it made Jennie realize some things. Things that she had always known and maybe just had realized until now, when she removed herself from the situation and looked at them objectively.
It had occurred to her a few days ago how different things would have been if Hal hadn't kidnapped her and brought her to space, thereby standing Kyle up on their date...
Hey, wait a minute...! She thought to herself. What would have happened if she had stayed and gone out with Kyle? Could that whole mess with Roy been prevented? She knew better than to dwell on should of-would of-could ofs and instead chose to focus on the present. The here and the now and the fact that Kyle Rayner, a man who adored her and who she knew adored her, was right down the hall.
It was late in the evening, past midnight. Everyone in the apartment was asleep, except for her. Jennie was in bed staring at the ceiling when she decided she wanted to act on those feelings. Pushing away the covers, she slipped out of bed and out into the hall and into the dark apartment. Mercifully Todd was still asleep as she tiptoed towards Kyle's room. And then, quietly, she opened the door and let herself in. He was a sleep too, but Jen seemed determined as she climbed into bed with him and nuzzled him awake.
