dinah kord, iris west, pippi peppers, plot - "blackest night"

At Kord
Pippi did her best to heal the people she could. As usual, she could speed things a long a little, make pain go away, but it was hard again, not like things back at the tower.

It wasn't fair - if hurting people was easy, fixing them should be easier, not the other way around.

She plays with her new Rottweiler for a little bit, letting him keep the goalie mask on top of his head. He seems to like it. It also keeps her out of the way, and gives her something to hug. She always heard that petting a kitty or puppy would make things better - but Cait was still dead, and she'd still hurt all those people. They were dead, and trying to kill her - and hugs and healing didn't fix them, no matter how hard she tried or how much she wanted them to.

Finally, once she's been out of the way for long enough, she tells the Rottweiler to keep an eye on her stuff, then she grabs Dingo's helmet, and goes to try and find Dinah.

	Dinah could be found going over footage from the fight, both from the Bug and from the Scarab. Looking for any sign of when they'd had an advantage, anything they could have done better. It was not exactly a stellar outing for either Titans team... but then again, a lot less people died than might have. Maybe that would have to be something. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Dinah put the video on pause and looked up. Pippi. Various thoughts danced through her head until she realized she was actually glad to see her. She needed the break. "Sure, Pippi," she said. "What's up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pippi holds out Dingo's helmet. "Can... can you fix it? When the puppy head is on, it makes the world look all red and digital and stuff. I could sort of pretend it was all a video game and none of the bad stuff happened... and Cait didn't say those things and... and..." she breaks off, lip quivering, not sure what else to say.

Dinah's thoughts go back to Jaime, and what Black Lantern that wore his face had said to her. How he'd tried to get in her head and prey on her insecurities. She can only imagine what Cait must have tried to do to Pippi.

"That wasn't Cait," she said, kindly. "That was just a thing that looked like her."

She got up, crossed the room, and put her arms around Pippi. "We'll fix your helmet," she said, quietly.

	Pippi hugs her back. "Thanks! You're the best! I should introduce you to Mr. Hockey too. I know you're having a tough time, and petting a puppy is good for hard times." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah sometimes actually found herself envying the simple way Pippi's mind worked. It must be nice to have such an uncomplicated view of the world. "I'm sure it is," she said instead. "Let's take a look at your helmet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pippi hands over the helmet. Its out of battery power. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It takes Dinah less than fifteen seconds to diagnose the problem, and it actually brings a smile to her face. Only Pippi, she thinks. "Let's see..." she said. Her index finger shifted into a plug, which she connected to the helmet, sending some energy into the helmet, which hummed to life. "Try it now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2011-02-09 02:36 am UTC (link)
	Pippi enthusiastically puts the helmet back on with a pleased squee and a big hug for Dinah. Then, she tries to pull it back off to let it finish charging. "Uhm... help?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah fought down, with Lanternian levels of willpower, the urge to laugh. But it was a good feeling all the same. "Here. Lemme see..." she said as she tried to get the helmet off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2011-02-09 03:44 am UTC (link)
	With a little help, its not too hard to get the helmet off. Despite getting stuck, yet again, she's in good cheer once it comes off though. "Thanks again. I should let it charge up for a while, I guess. You doing ok? I'm trying to figure out who's hurt. My healing powers don't always work, but I want to help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2011-02-09 03:49 am UTC (link)
	"I'm... all right," she said after a moment. "Not hurt any. Just..." She frowned. "Just trying to see how we're gonna win this one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We should talk to the other teams. Maybe they'll know something?" she tries. "Let me know if I can help, ok? We're a team now. And I know you'll come up with brilliant plans." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I will, Pippi. And... thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	As soon as things are fixed with the helmet, and Dinah is aware there's a puppy on premises, if she needs it, Pippi goes in search of Iris. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Iris could be found sitting by herself in a corner. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pippi flops down in the corner next to her and puts an arm around her. "You look like you need a friend." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Iris leaned into Pippi. "I could use one, yes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2011-02-10 01:34 am UTC (link)
	Pippi makes for a good shoulder to lean on. "Want to talk about it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	catchmeifyoucan 2011-02-10 01:55 am UTC (link)
	Iris nodded. "Seeing them...Cait, Cerdian, my brother...it makes me feel like it's my fault that they're like this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Dinah says its not really them. And, uhm, Ty said... stuff. There was lanterns and space and orange things. So it can't be your fault." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know. They're just a lot like them... I feel like I could have done more to keep them from getting like this. I just hope we can fix them, I guess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Dinah is thinking of a plan. We'll figure it out and fix things. Princesses especially have to get better. Anyway, there's nothing you could have done. Zombies just happen sometimes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Iris smiled weakly at her. "It would seem that way." (Reply to this)(Parent)
