Who. Ness and Mia What. Roller coasters! When. Tonight Where. Starts in NYC
Mia wouldn't have wished the past few weeks she'd been living through on her worst enemy - if she ever had enemies. It had started with Clark's disappearance, then taken a dark turn with the appearance of the Joker, and culminated in Bruce Wayne's "death." Mia was concerned for her mother, who was pretending to be perfectly fine. It wasn't as though her boyfriend had just abandoned her; she went through the motions and did her job just as well as always. It was hard for Mia to keep her eyes off her mother, almost waiting for Cuddy to explode. It didn't come. And this worried Mia further.
Mia had called to Ness because she'd needed a break. Watching Cuddy had become something of a full time job, on top of her already demanding internship at the hospital. Mia needed a few hours to wind down. She needed her boyfriend.
Mia waited outside her building. When she saw Ness approach, she walked up to him. Without so much as a second thought, she gently hugged him. "Hi," she said, arms still around him. Anyone who knew Mia would have been able to hear the note of weariness in her voice.
