Crash and Burn (Jensen)
Fred had slept on it like Jack had asked. She'd eaten on it, walked on it, and was now computing on it. Her walking away wasn't something she took lightly, but she wasn't sure what she really wanted when it came to Mayor Jack Heart. If he called, it was easy to ignore, which was cheating. The pager was easily put to the side and forgotten, especially when she was busy doing something else. Fred was busy working on reconfiguring the comms for the soon to be Justice League, City chapter. Or JLC, just seemed a more efficient moniker.
Fred's fingers flew once more over the many keyboards, pulling up schematics, networks, files. Her mind buzzed with plans and information. Thinking about the future for superheroes and the ones they'd save was helping in putting off a decision she really did have to make. She'd thought she'd made it, but the talk with Logan, what there was of it, had nudged the decision from definitely made to not so sure. It was a little aggravating.
"Not like I ever had to deal with this problem before. You'd think that this sort of thing would be easy, but it isn't? Sure, I can recite pi out to how many places? A bunch. 3.141592653589793..." Her voice trailed off as she continued to recite and look for something in the files. What was it again?
"But then he shows up. All pretty. Charles had been pretty, Wesley too. Only they weren't Jack. Jack's pretty, and Eric. Eric." There was another issue that she really did not want to think about. No one knew about Eric, her secret. "And, you're talking to yourself." A pause. "Who else are you gonna talk to? Not like you can just ring up Bruce Wayne and ask him if he'd like to get a coffee." Another pause. "Right? No, that'd be rude. Can't act like you know who he is, right?"
