Re: eddie/steph - above the arcade
[Eddie was, quite simply, not doing well. His family was gone, Stephanie's was too and the world felt like he was watching it through a pinhole. Brooding was an understatement. He was miserable. Work wasn't even enough to bury himself in. What was the point? Where was Cat? Bruce? Sasha? His rogue gallery?
And, no that wasn't fair to Stephanie. She'd try to be all of those things for him, but they both knew it just wouldn't work out that way. Eddie was exactly where he feared he'd be since escaping his abusive father.
Alone.
Eddie smiled as she appeared. He was lounging on a lawn chair, pretending to work while mostly just staring at lines of code. He pointed to the chair next to him.] So, how was undercover work?
