Practice makes perfect
Her aim was instinctive and always perfect, but getting used to wrist mounted silencers was a different story. The roof top she practiced on was away from her usual haunts and mostly deserted. The guns were unload because she didn't want the attention. It was the cursing that was about to give her away.

It should've been easy but never having seen them used made it harder for her to make them do what she needed. Gritting her teeth, she tried again.

"!@#$%^&!"

The place she had in mind was run by a client of her mother's, so Zoe didn't get hassled if she went in on occasion. Her ID was the best money could buy, so there was no fall out on that issue either.

She signaled for two drafts and led Dex to a table in a corner. It was the best spot to see trouble coming before it landed on your head.

"What side of the law do Lanterns fall, anyway? It is justice or the letter of it?"

	"Thanks," he said for the beer. "Both, but not your Earth laws. Though we do help to uphold them. Lanterns, the greens, think of a much bigger scale." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Big picture people. Got it." She made a face. The heroes were all big picture. The little people fell between the cracks. "What do you guys do out there in space for fun?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think that's an old video game. I saw it in a video parlor once in their old guys section." Zoe grinned. "I think it even had green lasers to shoot the asteroids with." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dex shrugged. "Beats me. I barely know the stuff that was put out in the last year. Don't know anything about old stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Leave it to her to get a space guy to relax with an updated version of Asteroid. Eh, he was a nice guy and you could only shoot so many things before you had to take a break and reload.

That took some thought. She really didn't do anything to relax except target practice. She didn't date, didn't have any hobbies outside patrolling the Triangle, and the occasional play or movie with GK, mostly because he seemed to suggest things in a way that made it impossible for her to say no.

"Not a whole lot," she admitted. "There isn't a lot to do in the Triangle. I take online classes and help out at my mom's law office when she needs somebody to answer phones and file paper."
