Re: Mean-Eyed Cat: Cat/Em
[Cat scoffed.] That? Is a bunch of bullshit. Most of you didn't get kicked anywhere. Take it from someone who's been kicked everywhere. We survive. You survive. Alright, you aren't some superhuman specter. But all those experiences? They're still in you, and they're still you. [She used the shotglass to point at the woman across the bar, emphasis in the raised glass.]
I know it's not easy. Nothing we do is easy. But we do it. And what you did before? That was harder than what the rest of us do in our entire lives. And that? Had nothing to do with being supernatural, and it had nothing to do with powers. That was Emily, and it's still inside you. You're still that woman that can face what scares the rest of us, and who can do it with compassion. [She grinned.] You just need to dig it back up. And let the alcohol talk. It makes you compliment me, and I'm running very short on compliments these days.
