Re: quicklog: eddie/steph in Wonder City
[She just shot him a look that said no promises about waking him up at the appropriate time, grabbing his dirty gloved hands and tugging the gloves off so she could kiss his fingers. Steph would let him sleep as damn long as she pleased. Nurse's orders.]
I know, baby. [She still sounded upset. All she wanted was for the both of them to belong.] You're still a part of the family though, and there's always a place for you. For someone who is as smart and quick and skilled as you. [She believed that wholeheartedly. Gotham needed her husband, and if they ever fucking forgot that? Well, they'd either be screwed or she would make them all goddamn remember. And a Stephanie Nashton defending her man? Was extra frightening.
Shuffling the papers a little more, she rolled her eyes.] Goddammit, I thought I would dupe you into it. [But clearly that wasn't what that was about.] There are so many places in Gotham that are underserved. Even before this Ra's shit. They're actually in worse shape because they didn't have what they needed in the first place. And now supplies are stretched thin, and there are only so many doctor and nurses and medics to go around, and it's terrible. [She cleared her throat, and it was amazing after years that she could still feel slightly self-conscious about her work. Whether it was her art or nursing or just being herself.] So. [She looked up at him.] I was thinking-- well, I was thinking of talking to Bruce or Dick about opening up a clinic or two under Wayne Enterprises and running them myself. Kind of like Leslie. [A bashful shrug.] And I need help planning and we both know you're the best planner this city has ever known. Sooo, yeah.
