It was a cold day. That was good. If it had suddenly warmed up or something, she wouldn't have the nerve to do anything. But really, being on the top of her game didn't always help. She still looked around constantly even after some time here, always feeling that she was going to be trapped.

Eventually, she found him. "Superboy?"

	She nods earnestly. "Thank you. I know. But I'm going to want to trust them if I meet them. The way that it was hard not to be scared of you. I need to see what's really going on." And she'll watch. And stare. And reach without looking away to turn down the thermostat again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He lets her adjust the lounge temperature to her liking - not going to bother him. Otherwise, he lets her watch the first in peace, and just has the second disc ready. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And Margery shivers a little as she watches, but it's not a temperature reaction. She needs it cold. She needs to be as smart as she can be so she can keep Jon's already-offered reassurance in her mind as she watches this, and handle it like an adult.

He was so .... crude. But the face was very similar, and if one slurred and snarled Papa's polite voice, it would sound just like that

When it was done, all Margery said was "Thank you. Next, please." But she said it steadily, at least.

	Jon nods, giving her just a moment to process when its all done, then he puts in the next DVD. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She manages to continue sitting still. As she watches. This definitely looks like Uncle Eddie, just with fewer scars. The outfit, even, was totally Uncle Eddie, given the right materials. Just the things he did weren't. Silence for a while when it's done. Then. "Thank you. He didn't build a transdimensional device, did he?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, he didn't. A lot of other things, but no transdimensional devices that I'm aware of." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, it is that. Not that I suspect such a thing is beyond him. We have enough other dimension travelers, and only a couple on our side, plus the people who can use treadmills." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She listens and nods. "I want to help with monitor duty." The smile's a little forced, but it's there. "I don't want scamper around the place like a really big scared mouse anymore." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-10 06:05 am UTC (link)
	"Ok, we'll get you started on monitor and coms duty. We can start lessons on that tomorrow. That will give you something helpful to do while you're learning about this world, and taking field training, if you decide you want to work with the JLA full time." (Reply to this)(Parent)
