I've had some time to think...(Open to YJLA)
One week after his resurrection, Jai West arrived at the YJLA HQ, looking for someone he could speak to. He hoped Jon was here; it would be easier for him to talk to Jon about this, or maybe even Corrina. He had to inform someone, though, so that they could start looking for a replacement if necessary.

He passed the meeting room, with meeting table reserved for the core members of the League. Jai walked into the room, looking down at everyone's familiar symbols carved into the table. He'd heard that the JSA have a table just like this at the Brownstone, but he'd never seen it.

Anyone walking by would find him there.

	The floor is a really interesting sight, but eventually, Traya manages to pick her head up. "I love you, Jai," she says at last. "And I mourned you. Now... I... I don't know how to think. Even for people like us... you can't really be prepared for someone coming back to life." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No, you can't. /Especially/ if you're the one who comes back." Jai says, taking a deep breath.

"When I died, I...I was prepared to die. I knew I wasn't getting out and I honestly couldn't remember if anyone was supposed to come after me. I just knew I couldn't /not/ do something about what was going on." he tells her.

He doesn't really know what to say to her right now, shifting uncomfortably before her.

"I...we shouldn't do this right now. It's a bad idea." Jai says.

What's wrong, Jai? Can't stop seeing Michael's hands all over her?

Jai takes another deep breath and tries to block out that voice. He's not going to listen.

	Traya feels tears moisten her cheeks and fall to the ground below. Her first real love. Her first real boyfriend. The one she'd given all she had to give to. When he'd died... she'd felt like her heart had been torn out from her chest. "I... Yeah..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He'd never wanted to make Traya cry. He'd never wanted to hurt her and now he was. Jai wants to walk over and put his arms around her, and tell her everything is going to be okay. He wants to tell her how much he loves her, but when he opens his mouth, the words die on his tongue.

If she loved you, she wouldn't have been all over your friend months after you died. Where were the tears then, Jai?

"I gotta go." Jai chokes out.

A rush of air, and Traya is standing alone again.

Left in Jai's wake is a strand of pictures from one of the photo booths at Coney Island from one of their dates last year. In the pictures, they're smiling, kissing and generally being silly with each other for the camera.

The pictures flutter to the ground, landing near Traya's tears.

	Traya looks down, seeing the pictures and tries to quiet her sobs. She picks it up, staring at it for a good long moment, before crumpling it in her hand, shaking with both sadness and anger. She lets it fall to the floor again and walks away. (Reply to this)(Parent)
