Hawk Time (open to Rex)
Nic went back home to St. Rochs after the mess with the gods. In part because she needed to pick up some clothes but in part because things had been so crazy for so long that she just needed air. Cindy had put her adorable little foot down about Nic flying to visit her at school and while the Hawkling didn't like it Cindy was right in that she'd be too tired to do anything once she'd gotten there. So she went home instead and almost immediately she realized something: she hadn't actually talked to or touched base with Rex since /before/ Tharok's bullshit. And that had been him grounding her.

Nic bought some pizza, sweet-talked the guy at the liquor store to sell her beer and then sat and waited for Rex at home with two of his favorite things sat out waiting for him whilst she, the infuriating thing, also waited. And waited. And waited. And fell asleep, face down on the table, wings drooped.

	"Doesn't matter. They paid for it." Rex says, grabbing the pizza to reheat it. "How's school?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Man, this was liking fighting over bacon. "Like I said, no one. Just let it go." he says, heating up he pizza. His throat was starting to hurt again and he knew he was overdoing it. "How's...Sandy? Is that her name?" Rex asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You didn't just let my bruises go; you de-winged Tharok over them." She frowned. "Your my brother. Hurting you does not stand. Spill it. "And her name is Cindy. And she's hot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Rex sighs, shaking his head.

"It was Darkseid. I took Hope to dinner for her birthday, but Darkseid and his people thought it would be a good idea to kidnap her. They jumped us at the restaurant and snatched her while I was beatin' down Parademons.

So, I called Mr. and Mrs. Free and told them what happened. I went with them and Avia to Apokolips and told Darkseid I'd shove my axe up his ass and carve out his black heart, just like that." Rex says, grinning before he coughs a bit.

"He didn't take that so well. He brainwashed Hope into fighting me, but it didn't take. When that failed, he tried chokin' me to death. He almost succeeded, but the cavalry showed up and got me to a doctor." Rex says.

	"WHAT!?!?!" She attacked him in a death-grip hug. "Next time shit like that happens you're calling me BEFORE you run off to go after DARKSEID. What the hell? WHAT THE HELL?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

....and now he was being attacked by worried Feathers.

"No. I specifically told Will /not/ to tell anyone because I knew you'd volunteer first, Pnnt. You and Mark, at least. We handled things and everything turned out okay." Rex says.

"You need to focus on bein' a kid and not all the crazy stuff that's been happenin' recently. Carter said he tried callin' you the other day but you didn't answer your phone. Then he called me and asked if things were okay with us. I got him off our backs for now, but you know Mom's next.

Why didn't you pick up?" he asks.

	"You're my brother! I have...sibling defense rights! It's my job to take care of you!" When he asked about Carter, though, she frowned and didn't really look at him. "Um....IwasbusywithCindy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2010-10-30 03:26 am UTC (link)
	"Did you at least call him back?" Rex asks, not liking his sister's sudden reluctance to speak. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-10-30 03:27 am UTC (link)
	"Rex, I was busy with Cindy." Was she really going to have to tell him just exactly what she was doing? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2010-10-30 04:39 am UTC (link)
	Rex hears the emphasis on the word and his eyes close. "Oh." is all he can say. Anything else might go over poorly. His sister being intimate with anyone is difficult enough to comprehend, but with a woman and a /Lord/ on top of that was simply more than Rex could handle in a single sitting. "You're too young to be doing that, Nic." Rex says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-10-30 04:45 am UTC (link)
	"I am not. I'm really not. And I'm responsible. I didn't call Dad because he'd freak. He always freaks. Why do you think he sent me home?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2010-10-31 06:58 am UTC (link)
	Rex had to admit that Nic was right; Carter tended to take anything regarding her to "smash instantly" levels. Mom was the same way. "No, Nic. You're too young. And how old is Cindy?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-10-31 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	"She's sixteen." Nic herself was seventeen, but only by a few months. She hoped Rex was unaware of the laws of New York in some matters. "You were seventeen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2010-11-01 03:23 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, and seventeen meets the legal consent age in most places, like New York. /Sixteen/ doesn't. That girl..." Rex coughs, covering his mouth. His hand comes away with a little blood, which he tries to hide. "If Cindy wanted to, she could screw you over with that info. Or her old man could, Nic. I really think she's not good for you." he finishes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-11-01 03:27 am UTC (link)
	He fails to hide the blood. Nic is just too close for that to happen. "You're bleeding! Rex! That is not okay! Have you been to a doctor? Have you told Mom?" She frowned. "Cindy is not her father. Cindy is not going to hurt me or get me into trouble. Is this because she's a girl?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2010-11-01 03:42 am UTC (link)
	"I've been to a doctor in space. If I stop talkin', I'll get better. I just have to say somethin' every five minutes because of the stuff I see goin' on." Rex says. "And no, I'm not tellin' Mom. I'm not talkin' to her, remember? Anyway...she just seems shady, Nic. I don't trust her and that's just how it is." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-11-01 03:45 am UTC (link)
	"Then I'll tell Mom. And Carter. And they'll both kick yer butt. Rex, Cindy is not shady. She's a little socially odd, but she's really kind. And eager. And interesting. And pretty. And she tries really hard. I like her. She's my girlfriend." She nodded her head for impact. "It's just how it is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The irritation on Rex's face spreads to his shoulders and his wings, which flap quickly and stiffly. "New topic. Now." Rex grouses. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Usually Nic backed off when the wings start with the angry flap. Even argument-prone Nic knew wen to back down but this time she didn't fold. She didn't cave. She didn't go pout like a kid. She stood up a little straighter.

"No. We are not evading this topic because it makes you uncomfortable. I'm not a little kid anymore, Rex. I'm a half-grown woman and I have feelings, goddamnit and I am tired of everyone from our parents to our teammates treating me like I'm five or breakable or both.

"You know what I figured out in that fucking cage Tharok had me in? Do you? That I'm pretty damn competent, thank you very much. I fended him off for a week, all by myself. And if I can do that, by god I can do pretty much anything for myself and that includes deciding who and what makes me happy. And I happen to be, at a minimum, bisexual. Deal with it."

"You need to learn to try to trust me."

"This conversation is over." Rex growls, then coughs. He leaves Nicolette in the kitchen and goes to his room.

He's not going to do this with her, now or ever. He loves his sister, but she's already made other choices in her life that didn't quite pan out.

If she couldn't see that Cindy Lord was wrong for her, then Rex would have to fix things himself.

Even if that meant trying to reason with a weasel like Max Lord.

Again. As Nic watched her brother walk out of the room she realized that the same thing that always happened was happening again. There was no having an opinion, self determination, or free will in this family and time and time again this was reinforced for Nic. Carter shut her down. Shayera shut her down. Rex shut her down.

It was a cage worse than the one Tharok had put her in.

"FUCK YOU REX STEWART!"

Hurt, she reacted the only way she knew how, the only way she'd ever been shown: with violence. Grabbing the rest of the six pack, she threw it against the kitchen wall, then overturned the table before storming out the front door.

Rex comes out of his room to stop Nicolette from leaving and finds the table flipped over and pizza all over his kitchen floor.

The smashed glass and beer stains on the wall would be a bitch to clean up, but Rex started in on it with a sigh.

He wasn't capable of raising a seventeen year-old girl who wanted to do what she wanted to do. Mom and Carter sent her here to keep her in line...but Rex was losing more and more control of her every day.

Yeah, he needed to get Max Lord to call of his kid so Nic could go back to being normal again.
