Well, this is new.
Heather absently flipped through the channels, and every time it hit on the news, it was about them. Footage of them in action at the fire and after, her--what had she been thinking--sudden naming of them, after Cindy had supplied their group name...

Heather had never really been used to people paying attention to her, especially not like this.

Somehow, fan sites had already gone up on the internet. Most of it was clean, fortunately, but some of it... well, she was going to need brain bleach to unsee some of that.

"So..." she said, mostly to herself, but anyone within earshot would hear. "Now what?"

He hears Lenny leave and Cindy storm out but keeps his eyes closed until he's sure everything has died down. As much as he wants to make sure they're okay, he's secretly glad that the fighting is out of earshot. Like every time, he thought he might be able to stop it, but he realizes it's too much for him. He's so sick of fighting and he's tried it all, appeasing, avoiding, just plain running away. It doesn't help.

Slowly opening his eyes and glancing around cautiously, he calms down a little. At least enough to agree with Heather a bit, "Yeah..."

	Jess is just going to sink into a chair. She is still angry and doesn't feel like talking right now. She really doesn't want to say things that she will regret. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Heather looked around, wondering just what she should be doing. "I... should really call my parents," she said quietly. "Maybe go back to Opal and see them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Am not needing anything. Am charged and stable." Andy shifts a bit, unsure as what to do. "Am unsure of what next." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Me too Andy," he agrees sullenly, still sunken into his spot on the couch. He stays quiet about the parent issue for now, he's really not the one to say anything about it considering he had no intention of ever having his mother know. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	".....Am I the only one that's fully disclosed things to their folks? I mean besides Cindy." She isn't really moving. She's still trying to not be so mad right now. She feels like she shouldn't be mad. She just feels tired right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This only happened to me on the same day the robots and Lanterns tried to kidnap us," Heather said. "I... haven't exactly been comfortable enough in my own 'skin' to talk to them about it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andy shifts, uncomfortable with the direction of the conversation. Andy had no one to call family. The closest thing Andy had to a father was...long gone by now. "Have no one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Harry avoids looking at anyone else in case they ask about him. He didn't talk to his mother much at all, they don't exactly get along, and she was really the only family he had too. No, he'd like to avoid this subject if possible. "I hope Lenny's okay," he muses quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Lenny's fine. Everything is going to be fine," Cindy says charging in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jess doesn't look up. She's trying not to feel extra moody. For a second she really does believe Cindy though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Some straightening out needed doing. I think some still does -- you know that the most important thing about being human is a human consciousness, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fears_itself 2012-03-24 03:08 am UTC (link)
	Andy stays silent and listens to what Cindy is saying, although the whole "human consciousness" thing irks a bit. Andy did not start human, but it is understandable. how many Artificial People do they deal with? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She's right. Ain't the biological stuff that makes you alive," Jess says letting her accent slide out. "It's thoughts. Yer both thinking beings." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Now he's finally smiling a bit, maybe Cindy could make things better. "Don't worry Andy, you're human to us," he smiles reassuringly and gives his teammate a gentle pat on the back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Heather's crystalline features slowly began a small smile. "I know," she said. "I know." She nodded, maybe more to herself. "And I really need to let my parents in on what's going on. I've got local celebrity now on top of being local hero. Word's gonna get out, and I'd rather it be from me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If you need back up for moral support? We're here for ya," Jess offers. Plenty of hot air had come out of her sails. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-03-24 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	"Or a quick getaway," he offers. Sure he might not be willing to tell his mother, but it didn't mean he couldn't help a friend tell her family. "Just say the word." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	loveontherocks 2012-03-24 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	Heather smiled a little more. "I'll take the moral support," she said. "And maybe teleportation to get there. Because Opal's a fair ways off." (Reply to this)(Parent)
