JULIA WICKER

You're sleeping. It's late. I know. Sorry I missed the bedtime call-in. Thanks for talking Morgan out of marching down here to give me an earful. She wanted to, I can feel it. And I'm sorry the home life thing has been resting solely on your shoulders the last few days. I know you know the drill. You get it. You know what's at stake. But I'd be there if I could.

This is going to work. And when it does, I need you to go back. Be with your daughter. Find your friends. Continue to show your fucked up universe who's boss. Be happy.

I'll be good here.

It's gonna be another all-nighter. I'll try to be home for breakfast.

Tony, Morgan and I are both going to march down to the Bureau if you don't come up for air soon. Also breakfast. Which we will bring.

Look I know what you're working on is important. I will hold down the fort while you get it working. Morgan and I are having a great time.

What I need is for you to not beat yourself up over what you think I will or won't do. It's my choice, and unless there's a time frame to make it I'm not in any rush to do so.

	Hold your fire. I managed to get a few winks in. Won't say no to breakfast, though. Team Portal's got to know, I don't plan on sharing. Come on, you know beating myself up is one of my sharpest skills, Shrubwitch. But I need you to do it. For yourself. And for me. One of us deserves to be with their daughter.

	Okay, there's beating yourself up and there's torturing yourself. Let's start with breakfast. [...] I will have your back, whatever you decide is best for Morgan. You know that. I also think that we can take our time and we don't have to think about this right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	These have always been stolen moments with Morgan. She deserves to get back to her life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

What if Morgan could choose?

Not five year old Morgan. What if we could talk to her as an adult? Time magic. Marina and Penny were stuck briefly in another timeline. They used a window to talk to the past version of a horomancer before she died.

I kind of think she deserves to choose the life she wants, don't you? You're already willing to send her back if that is what she decides.

	Magicians. You have an answer for everything. You think you could pull that off here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Messaging Marina as we speak. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You want to push breakfast to lunch and fill me in on what you find out? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She said we'll need cinnabar. So, I'll see if I can get a line on some and we'll be over for lunch. You gunna tell me what the fancy tanning bed is for? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mhm. We're putting a pin in that one. Tonight when I drag your ass home there might be an interrogation. Anything in particular you want for lunch or am I letting Morgan pick? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: ~morning~ cutsthewire 2020-06-11 12:06 am UTC (link)
	Is that meant to threaten me or entice me? Let her pick. We both know she will anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: ~morning~ hurlyburly 2020-06-11 12:14 am UTC (link)
	Why not both? Yeah, she will. But at least she deigns to give us the illusion of choice every once in a while. (Reply to this) (Parent)
