Checking things over (open to Outsiders)
Lian had called Uncle Ollie and pulled a couple of favors. It took a couple of weeks, but Outsiders Headquarters was back and running, it was like it had never been attacked by Black Lanterns. All of the damages to the building had been repaired, and the security system was updated so only members of the team could get in (and Uncle Ollie, as it was his company's abandoned old warehouse that they were using).

Lian was going over checking the security system, running all of the tests that Uncle Vic had told her to. After everything that happened recently, between getting kidnapped and everything with Cerdian, she really needed the distraction.

A couple more tests later, and the security systems were all up-to-date. Lian made her way into the kitchen, putting down her clipboard and going over her notes.

"The last place you should ever be is a kitchen, Lian."

J'anna shifted into view having been invisible when she arrived and started checking things out.

"J'anna." Lian hugged her friend.

"I wasn't going to cook anything. Just maybe grab something from the fridge and then go back to checking things out.

There's Chocos in the cabinet. I stocked up for you."

Pause.

"How are you?"

"Of course you weren't going to cook anything; you wouldn't know how."

J'anna let Lian hug her but her response was a stiff. The Martiangirl still was unsteady in her resurrected skin, the only person whose touch was permitted and embraced being Tim's.

She did smile about the Chocos, though.

"I'm...alive. I have a pulse. How's the wee wiggly ones?" She gestured to her tummy.

"I do too know to cook. I can cook pasta now. That's technically not from a box." She smirked a little.

"I would rather have you be alive and with a pulse than anything else, and so would Tim." She said. "And they're fine. Everything's going smoothly."

"It doesn't count until you make your own pasta," J'anna decreed, frowning for a moment at the realization that her fabulous pasta machine had undoubtedly been destroyed in the fire.

Like her body had been. She visibly shuddered.

"Tim seems very glad to have me back. I'm not certain my father will be so pleased, but that is neither here nor there. I'm glad your unborn are fine. I had begun plans for a baby shower, but I'm afraid they're cinders now."

"I know things with your dad are a little rough, but I'm here if you need me to go with him when you talk to him, okay? And you have your mom back, so maybe she can help you two patch things up, right?"

She smiled at her.

"It's okay. I don't need a baby shower. I'm just glad you're alive and safe."

"I said horrible things about them both. More my father than my mother but, I meant every word. I can't take those sentiments back. I was angry. I was very angry. As far as I know they don't know I'm alive again and right now I don't know if my return would be a kindness or not.

"Tim's offered to go with me, but I don't think it's anyone's responsibility but mine."

"You were also dead, and under someone else's control and normally wouldn't have said those things otherwise. I'm sure they'd at least understand that, whether you meant them or not."

She nodded. "Do what you need to do, just understand that I'm here for you."

J'anna was quiet for a moment before speaking again.

"Everyone keeps repeating the bit about those of us who were dead and turned to zombies were under someone else's control. And we were in that we were homicidal but I think that's a balm the living tell themselves to make it easier to look at us who have returned, but I tell you true, Lian--there was more of us in those animated corpses than there were dark powers. It's a nightmare of shame we all carry, of this I have nod doubt."

J'anna turned away.

"Where the heck is my blender?"

"It's going to be easy for anyone, I bet..." Lian said.

"I had to replace it. It's in the cabinet. I got you a new bread machine, too."

She arches a brow.

"Zombies don't bake. Even I resisted the urge to make brioche."

"They didn't bake. They trashed the kitchen when one of them decided to jump Calypso. I had to replace all of your appliances."

J'anna perked up.

"Really? We haven't been there in forever. Let me find my purse..."

Tim had been gracious enough to get her some things, considering the state of their previous belongings.
