Re: quicklog: flash/gwen in orchard
We can't control the super big stuff, but maybe we can control enough little stuff to, effectively, control the big stuff. I think it's super easy to think we have to take out the League, or find a way to control Reaper to ensure he doesn't take you away. [She paused with another crinkle of her nose.] Sorry, Reaper. Um... But maybe we don't have to take out the League ourselves, and maybe we don't have to control Reaper's exit strategy. Maybe we just get information about the League to people who can take them out, and maybe we just modify the suit so you can't leave Earth's gravity. [Her subsequent smile was light, teasing.] And compared with that, telling me I'm cuter than a redhead should be way easy.
[She shook her head a little in disbelief.] I can't believe you want to help Jason. But, okay, let's talk about it again, but not now. Now, how about we be totally stupid and crawl into a tree instead? [She giggled when he kissed her nose, and then she totally tried to look over her shoulder at his arms. But he kissed her on the lips, and maybe figuring out the thing with his arms was immediately unimportant. She totally kissed him back, pressing up on her toes and obviously eager.] I missed you a lot when you were gone. I kept having these weird, 'oh I have to tell Flash about this,' moments, and then I'd remember you weren't here. [And super pleased:] You thought about me?
