Monitor duty (open)
Monitor duty was never really very much fun, but someone had to do it. And today, that someone was Annie. And as someone who'd just returned to the JLA from a little leave of absence, she naturally had a few monitor duty shifts to make up for. Unfortunately, unless there was a chance of impending doom, monitor duty was one of the most boring things in pretty much the entire world.

Annie twirled around in her chair, blowing a lose strand of hair out of her face. She really should've brought her Kindle Fire with her.

	Jon is well aware monitor duty isn't much fun. Most people find some way to make it a little more interesting - (read: Corrinna), but its still just... watching. As such, he makes the occasional point of dropping in to check on whoever has it - such as now. "Well... haven't seen you about in ages. Drew the short straw this quickly?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Annie grinned widely when she saw Jon. "Hey, Jon!" She said, hopping up from her chair to wrap him in a hug. "How's it going?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-03 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	He returns the hug, lifting her off her feet and spinning around a bit. "Going good. How've you been? And what've you been up to?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Annie threw her arms back dramatically, laughing. "I've been pretty good. Dad and I've been traveling a lot for cases lately. Hence my not being around much lately. Which is why I volunteered for monitor duty. I figured I had a lot to make up for. How's the family?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-03 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	"Family is good. Cases? So taking up the family business officially?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Annie grinned. "Yup. Been working on my nose twitching and everything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-03 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Excellent. We could use a nose for mysteries now and then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've always had one. Mom's fond of telling people how I used to go around the house 'solving' them when I was little." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I still remember you interrogating all of Jo's other dolls when her Barbie went missing... while she documented the case and followed you around everywhere." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-03 09:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Hey. Some of those dolls were shady characters. Especially Skipper. She was always jealous of how popular Barbie was." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-03 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Its true. I think you pinned her as an accomplice by the time you found Barbie behind the sofa cushion." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-03 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	"I still hold that it was Skipper and G.I Joe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think that's what Jo put in her report, though GI Joe may have gotten time served for meritorious service." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-04 01:16 am UTC (link)
	"GI Joe was jealous of Ken and decided that if he couldn't have her, no one could. That was my conclusion." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-04 01:23 am UTC (link)
	"I know I initially suspected that Jo had been playing on the couch, and forgot her there... but the investigation was clearly flawless." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course it was. I got in all my practice solving the Case of the Dust Bunnies at home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-04 01:50 am UTC (link)
	"A host of critical cases, no doubt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-04 01:53 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, of course. Those dust bunnies are tricky little things. I'm still convinced they were in cahoots with the lint balls." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-04 01:56 am UTC (link)
	He nods seriously. Or semi-seriously. Or something. "I would never doubt a Dibny's nose." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-05 12:59 pm UTC (link)
	"This nose is never wrong. Especially when it comes to mysteries." She grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-05 04:56 pm UTC (link)
	"That's one of those JLA-legendary truths you can just count on, up there with 'this is a job for Superman' and 'Batman isn't happy.'" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-05 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	"'Batman isn't happy' isn't so much a legendary truth as it's an actual fact of life." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-05 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	"There is that. As I recall, your dad used to do a great Batman impression. I don't think anyone else even wanted to try it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-05 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Dad's Batman impression is so great that even Batman does it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-05 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	That gets a wider grin. "He's gotten very good at it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-05 10:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Over the years, I think Batman's just watched my Dad for tips on how to improve his scowl." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-05 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	He nods in all mock-seriousness. "That's where he picked up all the detective skills, so it makes sense." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-05 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	"It's really obvious. Batman gets all of his good tricks from my dad. Dad's just too nice to say anything about it." She nodded, holding back a fit of giggles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-06 12:28 am UTC (link)
	"The Dibny secret is safe with me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good. I'd have to unspeakable things to you if you told. And that would make me very sad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-06 12:42 am UTC (link)
	"Unspeakable thing? Then worry not, we need not speak of this again. I'd hate to make you sad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-06 01:17 am UTC (link)
	"Yes. Sad me is not a happy me, as most people know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-06 01:18 am UTC (link)
	"Kind of by definition, yes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This conversation's reaching depressing territory. And my shift's almost over anyway so....ice cream?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-06 01:51 am UTC (link)
	"We can't have that - I wouldn't recognize you without a smile on your face. As for that... magic words, Miss Dibny, magic words. Unless you'd like a burger and milkshake first, then ice cream? My treat for an old friend." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-06 02:04 am UTC (link)
	"If I had a scowl on my face, someone might accidentally mistake me as Batman." She shuddered. "That's a scary thing to think of." She grinned. "I'd love to, Jon. That sounds like an excellent plan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-06 02:11 am UTC (link)
	He offers an arm. "Excellent. I know great places for all of the above." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-06 02:17 am UTC (link)
	Annie took the offered arm with a smile. "Surprise me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-06 02:21 am UTC (link)
	"Me? No. I'm safe and predictable. But they're still really good burgers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-06 02:23 am UTC (link)
	"You know, you could just be saying this to lure me into a false sense of safety. Then I eat an exploding burger." She smirked. "Or something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-06 02:32 am UTC (link)
	"You've known me for how long? I'm pretty sure that exploding burgers are not among my powers... yeah, pretty sure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-06 12:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, with the proper application of your heat vision to said burger, you could probably make it explode." She smirked. "Or just burn it to a crisp." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-06 03:42 pm UTC (link)
	"That would be a crime against a perfectly good hamburger." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-12 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	"I'd have to press charges. Cruelty against tasty hamburgers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-12 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	"I'd never do such a thing. I'm pretty sure assault on a cheeseburger would conflict with that whole truth and justice thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-16 02:20 am UTC (link)
	"It's a crime most fowl. I'd have no choice but to hand you over to the proper authorities." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-16 03:13 am UTC (link)
	"Can't have that, now. But safe to say, your food is entirely safe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-18 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	"That's great to know. C'mon. Burgers and milkshakes are calling us!" (Reply to this)(Parent)
