Who: Kimber and Jerrica Benton
What: Catching up.
Warnings: Nah.

Through no fault of her own, or so she would claim later, Kimber's plans with Ollie had turned into Kimber's plans with Jerrica, with Ollie tagging along. He was a good sport about it, even if he did try to sneak his Green Arrow costume on under his suit and complained when he got caught. Kimber had left her earrings behind as well: for tonight, at least, they were Civilians, and all that that entailed.

To his credit, Ollie had left the cocksure superhero persona with the costume, and instead had been the charming pseudo-Errol Flynn that was hidden beneath the mask. Jerrica was declared "as lovely as her sister," and his jokes had been appropriate, for once. Kimber laughed at all the right times, and did her best to keep the conversation light; there would be serious enough things to talk about later.

After dinner, Ollie drove them home, and maintained the polite charm throughout the ride. He even went so far as to walk them to the door. Kimber let Jerrica in and told her to make herself comfortable while she said goodbye to Ollie. The quick conversation was much more demure than Kimber and Ollie's norm, but what they lacked in vulgarity they made up for in body language. Kimber winked as she suggested that she would call him later. As she turned away to return to her sister, she felt a light smack on her behind. There was a very Green Arrow look in Ollie's eyes as he returned the wink and headed off.

Unsure if she should be amused or scandalized, Kimber settled for blushing. She cleared her throat and returned her attention to her sister. "Where were we?"

Jerrica couldn't help but laugh at her little sister (or was she her big sister now? The whole time-space thing was deeply confusing to her). It seemed like yesterday, or more precisely last week, that Kimber was just a young girl with big hair vying to be a star, and now she was making dirty jokes with her super cute boyfriend who may or may not be a superhero. Oh the times they are a changin'.

"Um... you replaced a big popstar? And I replaced an up and comer. I do believe you're wearing big sis's clothes now." Jerrica laughed a bit. She didn't mind at all. She remembered being in the band and feeling like she was stealing the spotlight, when really it was Kimber that was the heart of the group. She deserved everything she had now.

"Hey maybe we can do a collaboration? You can help me be famous." She chuckled.

Kimber laughed. "There was a you here before, you know. And she replaced a school teacher. At least you landed in the same field, this time." Getting used to a second version of your sister was a little odd for Kimber, but it was probably weirder for Jerrica. "I've been on a little hiatus for a while, but I'm thinking about jumping back in."

"But yeah, we should totally collaborate on something! Stormer and I worked together on a Christmas album. And I've done some stuff with this guy named Gojyo. You should meet him, he's pretty cool." So much to talk about!

Kimber ducked into the kitchen. "Want some popcorn?" she asked as she grabbed a bag out of the pantry.

"Really? Weird. Though that seems like a good career track for me. I always thought I was pretty good with children." Jerrica smiled. It was true though. She had a habit of playing the mom at times, what with Starlight House, not to mention her sister, who was now all grown up.

"Sure." Jerrica agreed to the popcorn as she set her hat on the counter (Jerrica always had a thing for unusual hats. Like her fashion staple).

"So... About Ollie." Jerrica smirked, pulling a diet soda out of her sister's fridge.

"Tell me about him. He seems a little bit older than you, not in a bad way of course. He's... how to put this lightly..." She traced through her mind for what she wanted to say and decided she couldn't find a better substitute. "...well... hot. How'd you meet?"

Kimber started the popcorn in the microwave before turning back to Jerrica. She grinned. "Ollie? Yeah, he's a few years older.." She laughed, a little embarrassed to give his exact age. "But he keeps in pretty good shape. We met at his dojo. He was teaching self-defense classes. And I do love a good workout." Kimber definitely looked like she'd been working out. She didn't have steroid muscles or anything, but she wasn't the skinny little sixteen year old she'd been the last time Jerrica had seen her, either.

"And yeah. Definitely hot. We're a good match. We've been dating for...Wow. Like, a year and a half." Considering the teenage Kimber was either crushing after the first cute guy she saw, or juggling two guys at once, it was a long time. Kimber smiled. "I really like him."

She pulled out the popcorn before it burned and grabbed a big bowl from the cabinet.

"I can definately tell." Jerrica noted of her sister's newfound muscle. It was a little weird seeing that Kimber had grown up so fast. Now she had the body of a woman, where-as Jerrica was still in the mindset of a confused teenager, even if she was 21 (which really ought to just be an extension of one's teenage years to be honest).

"Wow... that's a long time. Gosh I've missed out on so much. You two will probably be married with children by the time I wrap my head around everything going on now." She said with a small smile. "But I'm really happy for you Kimber."

"Oh my gosh, don't even talk about the 'M' word, please!" Kimber laughed, grabbing a bottle of water and leading her sister out of the kitchen back to the couch. "I really don't think that will happen any time soon, don't worry." Kimber was convinced that Ollie was not planning on ever getting married, and she'd come to terms with that. Of course, she hadn't expected their relationship to last this long, either. Occasionally she thought about him popping the question, but she was happy with things how they were.

"But yeah, there's a lot of stuff I have to tell you. Just let me know if I need to slow down. I don't want your head to explode." Kimber kicked off her shoes and leaned back against the couch. "I'm.. um.. kind of different."

"Kimber? Do you have commitment issues?" Jerrica feigned a gasp in a joking manner. "Why not speak of the M word? Dating for close to 2 years is too soon! We're practically strangers!"

She teased her sister just a little. Only out of love of course. "It's cool, Kimber. You know me, I am in no way a model for a healthy relationship. Remember how I toyed with my boyfriend by making him feel all angsty that he was cheating on me with me? Gosh I was twisted."

Jerrica took a drink of her diet soda and plopped down on the couch next to her. "Umm... okay? What do you mean?"

Kimber laughed. "I just don't want to mess anything up. Things are really good where they are right now, and that's all I'm worried about."

"You didn't do it on purpose," Kimber said. "But.. It was kind of silly. I mean. You were a popstar, not some kind of superhero. Though.. I kind of get it, I guess. You didn't tell him right away, and the longer you lied to him, you know the harder it would be to tell him the truth."

"That's kind of how I felt about telling Ollie that I'm a superhero. Well, not really that 'super', but I fight crime. Which, honestly, was a little silly for me to worry about, because he's a crimefighter too." Perfect segue. She glanced over at Jerrica, hoping she hadn't passed out or anything.

"Yeah... It was just a whole mess. I was young... I really didn't know how to handle touchy situations like that. Plus I really wanted to get dad's company back and I couldn't really do it as Jerrica." She nodded. If Eric knew in the beginning that Jem and Jerrica were one person, he no doubt would have hired all kinds of lawyers and made it so she couldn't touch the family business ever again. But when Rio got involved, everything became complicated and she wasn't really thinking that far ahead when it all started.

"You're a what?" Jerrica looked at her sister for a moment with a little laugh, half thinking she was joking. "I don't... are you serious?"

Jerrica quirked an eyebrow as she looked at her sister. It really wasn't all that odd since she had gotten acclimated with this new world. There seemed to be tons of people running around with special abilities these days. Even Jerrica had some kind of superheroic thing going on at home with the help of Synergy, allowing her to shift back and forth between Jerrica and Jem and cast illusions of herself. But since she no longer had a connection with Synergy in this world, she was just a normal girl really, though she still had fun dressing like Jem in these new modern clothes while performing.

"How?"

OOC: Omg sorry for posting this THREE times. I kept posting it all wrong! lol

"Well.. I started getting into martial arts because this cute guy was teaching a class..." Typical Kimber reasoning. "This was before Ollie. Anyway, so I was doing that, and then there was this meteor shower and everybody started getting powers, and I could just workout for forever without getting tired. I was really good. And my best friend at the time was a crime fighter, and she showed me the ropes. Literally."

Kimber shrugged, smiling. "One of my other friends was kind of a computer genius, and he built this thing kind of like Synergy. It's more of a computer, and doesn't really have a personality, but it does holoprojecting and stuff. I even have a costume. Wait right there." Kimber went into her bedroom and retrieved something from a super-secret hiding spot. She came back, holding a piece of jewelry that looked a lot like the Jemstar earrings. She'd asked for them to be shaped like this, for nostalgia's sake. "See?" She held an earring up to her ear and activated the control. Suddenly, Kimber was clothed in a black leather bodysuit, a blond wig and black eyemask. Her face looked a little different, too.

"Wow, now you really do look like me." Jerrica laughed a bit. "That's so cool! And aww... you even used earrings."

Jerrica had to admit she was almost a little envious of her younger sister, but she was capable of keeping it cool. It was usually Kimber that was the one who would get jealous and stomp off (and occasionally quit the band), but Jerrica was certain that Kimber had matured past that point by now.

"So... you have any cool powers? Like can you fly? Or shoot laserbeams out of your eyes?" Jerrica asked, pulling her knees up on the couch and resting her chin on them.

Kimber laughed and shook her head. "No, nothing like that. I'm just good at hand-to-hand, and I've got killer stamina. I use a grappling hook to get around, which kind of feels like flying. Though, sometimes I just hitch a ride on Ollie's bike. He's the Green Arrow. He. Well. Wears green and shoots arrows." She shrugged and rubbed the earring again, shutting down the holographic signal. "We fight bad guys together. It's pretty cool."

"I really wish Doug was still here. I know he'd rig up a second pair of earrings for you to use on stage. They're not really as advanced as Synergy. I can't just think of whatever I want and make it appear. There's all sorts of pre-programming and stuff that goes into it and I don't really know how to do that." It was a big testament to Doug's skill that the computer was still running perfectly after so long.

"Nah. I'm alright without the holograms. The... actual holograms, not the band." She said. "Jem is still my stage name, and I'm still going to dress unique when I'm Jem. Just now I actually have to squeeze myself into those little leather outfits."

Jerrica shifted in her seat and put the diet soda on the coffee table. "So we've covered relationships and superheroics. Anything else going on with you? You said you've been around here for a couple of years, a lot of stuff must have happened."

"Well, if you ever need a workout buddy for that, I'm your girl." She grinned brightly. "I also know a couple personal trainers that would love to work with you." She didn't quite know what to say when Jem brought up the rest of the band. Kimber missed them too, of course, but she'd been here a long time and hadn't seen any of them.

"Oh my gosh, yeah. Tons. I had a couple crappy boyfriends that aren't even really worth talking about." One had been a loser and the other had turned out to be kind of evil. "The career thing is going pretty well. There was this one time, though.. See, weird stuff happens in this world sometimes, and there was this one time where it was just like--you're randomly naked! And I was on stage, and it was bad. But we actually managed to get all of the pictures off the internet. Being friends with hackers has its perks."

What else? She probably shouldn't worry Jerrica by telling her about the times she'd been shot. "There was this one time when the other-you that was here first married Ollie. It was another one of those weird universe things. You guys didn't even know eachother, and I was about to go on a date with him and it was like 'Bam! Married my sister.' But it only lasted, like, a weekend. Um, there's also been zombies and crazy nurses and time warping." Kimber shrugged. "It's even crazier around here than that time the Misfits trapped me in a volcano."

"How they never got arrested for half of the things they did to us, I'll never know." Jerrica nodded, reminiscing in her head of all those crazy times with the Misfits. They really were psychotic. Well, except for Stormer. She was actually a decent human being.

"Sorry... it's very strange to hear zombies and nakedness and 'we should be workout buddies' all in the same sentence...I'm not still married am I? Like... it was annulled and stuff? 'Cause god forbid I go to get married and get arrested for polygamy."

Kimber laughed. "Sorry. I think I'm talking too fast. I just get started on one weird thing and it goes to the next and the next.. Sorry!" She shook her head.

"No, definitely not still married. It was a crazy brainwashy thing, and all the appropriate paperwork has been taken care of. Everybody's pretty much forgotten about it, I'm sure. But just in case Ollie mentions something about you being his ex-wife... It'll probably be in the context of a joke, but just so you're not confused." Yes, because the important thing here was making sure Jerrica got Ollie's jokes.

"It's okay, sis. You're excited. And I want to hear it, all of it. Still won't make it any easier to get used to, but I'll manage." Jerrica smiled a bit.

"And you should know that I do have a sense of humor. I won't be mad if he says something like that. And besides, aren't in-laws supposed to bicker?" She smiled. "I know, I know... you're not married."

"Well, I think I've pretty much given you the worst of it. So I'll just let all of that soak in for a while. Popcorn?" she offered the bowl.

Kimber started to open her mouth to argue, but then just laughed. "Yeah, yeah. I'm sure Ollie would love some friendly banter. He lives on that stuff. Has to keep the wit sharp for use on bad guys."

"Oh, yeah, that whole crimefighting thing is really top secret. Well, Ollie doesn't really care if people know about him, but I keep mine really quiet. I'm in the tabloids far too much as it is."
